Josh Poimboeuf 50f9a76ef1 iov_iter: Mark copy_compat_iovec_from_user() noinline
After commit 6376ce56feb6 ("iov_iter: import single vector iovecs as
ITER_UBUF"), GCC does an inter-procedural compiler optimization which
moves the user_access_begin() out of copy_compat_iovec_from_user() and
into its callers:

  lib/iov_iter.o: warning: objtool: .altinstr_replacement+0x0: redundant UACCESS disable
  lib/iov_iter.o: warning: objtool: iovec_from_user.part.0+0xc7: call to copy_compat_iovec_from_user.part.0() with UACCESS enabled
  lib/iov_iter.o: warning: objtool: __import_iovec+0x21d: call to copy_compat_iovec_from_user.part.0() with UACCESS enabled

Enforce the "no UACCESS enable across function boundaries" rule by
disabling cloning for copy_compat_iovec_from_user().

Fixes: 6376ce56feb6 ("iov_iter: import single vector iovecs as ITER_UBUF")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
