Subject: [PATCH 5.16 013/200] ARM: 9179/1: uaccess: avoid alignment faults in copy_[from|to]_kernel_nofault

From: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@...nel.org>

commit 15420269b02a63ed8c1841905d8b8b2403246004 upstream.

The helpers that are used to implement copy_from_kernel_nofault() and
copy_to_kernel_nofault() cast a void* to a pointer to a wider type,
which may result in alignment faults on ARM if the compiler decides to
use double-word or multiple-word load/store instructions.

Only configurations that define CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS=y
are affected, given that commit 2423de2e6f4d ("ARM: 9115/1: mm/maccess:
fix unaligned copy_{from,to}_kernel_nofault") ensures that dst and src
are sufficiently aligned otherwise.

So use the unaligned accessors for accessing dst and src in cases where
they may be misaligned.
