Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.1 01/24] ARM: 9290/1: uaccess: Fix KASAN false-positives

From: Andrew Jeffery <andrew@...id.au>

[ Upstream commit ceac10c83b330680cc01ceaaab86cd49f4f30d81 ]

__copy_to_user_memcpy() and __clear_user_memset() had been calling
memcpy() and memset() respectively, leading to false-positive KASAN
reports when starting userspace:

    [   10.707901] Run /init as init process
    [   10.731892] process '/bin/busybox' started with executable stack
    [   10.745234] ==================================================================
    [   10.745796] BUG: KASAN: user-memory-access in __clear_user_memset+0x258/0x3ac
    [   10.747260] Write of size 2687 at addr 000de581 by task init/1

Use __memcpy() and __memset() instead to allow userspace access, which
is of course the intent of these functions.
