I thought it's triggered in access_ok(), and tried to figure out why. But seems we should do something to check this in access_ok(), otherwise the logic of clear_user/_clear_user is not so reasonable. Anyway, I have learned it, thanks a lot for digging it out. By the way, I can't open above wiki article, found below commit from hpa. Maybe we can add some into log to tell this, not strong opinin, leave it to you. For this patch, looks good to me.

Peter Anvin <hpa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Sep 21 12:43:12 2012 -0700 x86, smap: Add STAC and CLAC instructions to control user space access When Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is enabled, access to userspace from the kernel is controlled by the AC flag. To make the performance of manipulating that flag acceptable, there are two new instructions, STAC and CLAC, to set and clear it. This patch adds those instructions, via alternative(), when the SMAP feature is enabled. It also adds X86_EFLAGS_AC unconditionally to the SYSCALL entry mask; there is simply no reason to make that one conditional. Signed-off-by: H.
