Arnd Bergmann 98b861a304 asm-generic: uaccess: remove inline strncpy_from_user/strnlen_user
The inline version is used on three NOMMU architectures and is
particularly inefficient when it scans the string one byte at a time
twice. It also lacks a check for user_addr_max(), but this is
probably ok on NOMMU targets.

Consolidate the asm-generic implementation with the library version
that is used everywhere else.  This version is generalized enough to
work efficiently on both MMU and NOMMU targets, and using the
same code everywhere reduces the potential for subtle bugs.

Mark the prototypes as __must_check in the process.

README

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.
