Subject: [PATCH] Consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS
The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86,
parisc, and s390 Kconfig.debug files. Arnd Bergman noted that the
help text was slightly misleading and should be fixed to state
that enabling this option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc.
To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into
lib/Kconfig.debug and modify it there to be more explicit about
when you should say N to this config.
Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this
option enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures
which emit warnings vs. ones which emit errors. The details of
how an architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as
important as the concept of compile time checking of
copy_from_user() calls.
While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow()
code that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that
any architecture supporting this option can get the function for
free.
