Subject[PATCH v2 01/36] x86/uaccess: Tell the compiler that uaccess is unlikely to fault
Date
GCC doesn't realize that get_user, put_user, and their __ variants
are unlikely to fail. Tell it.

I noticed this while playing with the C entry code.

Before:
text data bss dec hex filename
21828763 5194760 1277952 28301475 1afd8a3 baseline

After:
text data bss dec hex filename
21828379 5194760 1277952 28301091 1afd723 vmlinux
