The patch titled
Subject: maccess: allow architectures to provide kernel probing directly
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
maccess-allow-architectures-to-provide-kernel-probing-directly.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>
Subject: maccess: allow architectures to provide kernel probing directly
Provide alternative versions of probe_kernel_read, probe_kernel_write
and strncpy_from_kernel_unsafe that don't need set_fs magic, but instead
use arch hooks that are modelled after unsafe_{get,put}_user to access
kernel memory in an exception safe way.
