[PATCH v4 2/5] riscv: implement user_access_begin() and families

From: Cyril Bur
Date: Tue Mar 18 2025 - 02:15:37 EST


From: Jisheng Zhang <jszhang@xxxxxxxxxx>

Currently, when a function like strncpy_from_user() is called,
the userspace access protection is disabled and enabled
for every word read.

By implementing user_access_begin() and families, the protection
is disabled at the beginning of the copy and enabled at the end.

The __inttype macro is borrowed from x86 implementation.
