[ Upstream commit aee8c67a4faa40a8df4e79316dbfc92d123989c1 ] When *RSTOR from user memory raises an exception, there is no way to differentiate them. That's bad because it forces the slow path even when the failure was not a fault. If the operation raised eg. #GP then going through the slow path is pointless. Use _ASM_EXTABLE_FAULT() which stores the trap number and let the exception fixup return the negated trap number as error. This allows to separate the fast path and let it handle faults directly and avoid the slow path for all other exceptions.

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.
