Subject: [PATCH v5 2/6] kexec: avoid compat_alloc_user_space

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 27 Jul 2021 16:48:55 +0200

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email-masked]>

kimage_alloc_init() expects a __user pointer, so compat_sys_kexec_load()
uses compat_alloc_user_space() to convert the layout and put it back
onto the user space caller stack.

Moving the user space access into the syscall handler directly actually
makes the code simpler, as the conversion for compat mode can now be
done on kernel memory.
