Hi all,
you are in this list because your architecture still implements and
uses address space overrides using set_fs(), which are deprecated and
have been removed from all mainstream architecture ports. To help
cleanup the core kernel it would be great to make progress on removing
set_fs entirely.
The following steps are required:
(1) implement the __get_kernel_nofault and __put_kernel_nofault
helper to access kernel memory without page faults, replacing
the get/put_user under set_fs(KERNEL_DS) abuse. Mips has a good
example for a trivial implementation for architectures that use
a common address space in commit 04324f44cb69
(2) remove any architecture specific use of such constructs. This
only affects ia64 and sh.
(3) stop selecting the SET_FS and remove all the set_fs-related
infrastructure. The above mips commit is a good guide once again.
Thanks!

Also see commit 08ee3a009f49a which is preparation for removing set_fs/get_fs
this commit implements __get_kernel_nofault/__put_kernel_nofault for mips.

I will look into this for OpenRISC.
