[WIP RFC PATCH 0/3] runtime-const header split and whatnot

From: Mateusz Guzik

Date: Fri Oct 31 2025 - 13:42:32 EST


So I slapped together what I described into a WIP patchset.

The runtime header treatment so far only done for x86 and riscv.

I verified things still compile with this in fs.h:
#ifndef MODULE
#include <asm/runtime-const-accessors.h>
#endif

The -accessors suffix is not my favourite, but I don't have a better
name.

If this looks like I'm going to do the needful(tm).

Mateusz Guzik (3):
x86: fix access_ok() and valid_user_address() using wrong USER_PTR_MAX
in modules
runtime-const: split headers between accessors and fixup; disable for
modules
fs: hide names_cachep behind runtime access machinery
