While I agree that __get_user/__put_user should not be used on kernel memory, I'm not sure that we have covered every case where they might be used on kernel memory yet. I did a git grep for __get_user - there are several callers in arch/powerpc and it looks like at least lib/sstep.c might be using __get_user to read kernel memory while single-stepping. I am not sure if might_sleep has got logic to cover the powerpc case - it uses uaccess_kernel, but we don't supply a definition for that on powerpc, so if we do end up calling __get_user on a kernel address, I think we might now throw a warning. (Unless we are saved by pagefault_disabled()?) (But I haven't tested this yet, so it's possible I misunderstood something.) Do you expect any consequences if we've missed a case where __(get|put)_user is called on a kernel address because it hasn't been converted to use better helpers yet?
