Since it's only the user access functions caring about the abort label
and this label is always the same (11f as I can see), we can ignore it
completely in copy_template.S. Just use a large label above, something
like:

	.macro ldp1 ptr, regB, regC, val
	USER(9998f, ldp \ptr, \regB, [\regC], \val)
	.endm

	.macro stp1 ptr, regB, regC, val
	stp \ptr, \regB, [\regC], \val
	.endm

Here you would have the 9998: label

> +

> +	subs	x4, x4, #1
> +	b.ne	20b

and 9999 here.

BTW, you should use tmp1 instead of x4 to avoid clashes in case we
rename the register aliases. And you can probably write this with some
fewer instructions:

9998:
	sub	x0, tmp3, dst
9999:
	strb	wzr, [dst], #1			// zero remaining buffer space
	cmp	dst, tmp3
	b.lo	9999b

Why not "sub x0, tmp3, dst" directly?

You could keep this in in the copy_from_user.S etc. files to avoid
another addition for memcpy where it's not needed. And you could keep
the .req in there as well (together with the "end" alias):

end	.req	x5	// same as tmp3

ENTRY(__copy_from_user)
	...
	add	end, x0, x2
#include "copy_template.S"
	...

Same here, "sub x0, end, dst" directly.
