Subject: x86/uaccess, sched/preempt: Verify access_ok() context
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 7c4788950ba5922fde976d80b72baf46f14dee8d upstream.
I recently encountered wreckage because access_ok() was used where it
should not be, add an explicit WARN when access_ok() is used wrongly.
