Subject: [PATCH v7 03/10] powerpc/signal64: Remove non-inline calls from setup_sigcontext()

From: "Christopher M. Riedl" <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2021 19:12:52 -0600

The majority of setup_sigcontext() can be refactored to execute in an
"unsafe" context assuming an open uaccess window except for some
non-inline function calls. Move these out into a separate
prepare_setup_sigcontext() function which must be called first and
before opening up a uaccess window. Non-inline function calls should be
avoided during a uaccess window for a few reasons:

	- KUAP should be enabled for as much kernel code as possible.
	  Opening a uaccess window disables KUAP which means any code
	  executed during this time contributes to a potential attack
	  surface.

	- Non-inline functions default to traceable which means they are
	  instrumented for ftrace. This adds more code which could run
	  with KUAP disabled.

	- Powerpc does not currently support the objtool UACCESS checks.
	  All code running with uaccess must be audited manually which
	  means: less code -> less work -> fewer problems (in theory).

A follow-up commit converts setup_sigcontext() to be "unsafe".
