At the time being, __put_user()/__get_user() and friends only use
D-form addressing, with 0 offset. Ex:
lwz reg1, 0(reg2)
Give the compiler the opportunity to use other adressing modes
whenever possible, to get more optimised code.
Hereunder is a small exemple:
struct test {
u32 item1;
u16 item2;
u8 item3;
u64 item4;
};
int set_test_user(struct test __user *from, struct test __user *to)
{
int err;
u32 item1;
u16 item2;
u8 item3;
u64 item4;
err = __get_user(item1, &from->item1);
err |= __get_user(item2, &from->item2);
err |= __get_user(item3, &from->item3);
err |= __get_user(item4, &from->item4);
err |= __put_user(item1, &to->item1);
err |= __put_user(item2, &to->item2);
err |= __put_user(item3, &to->item3);
err |= __put_user(item4, &to->item4);
return err;
}

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.
