These patterns beg for scopes with automatic cleanup. The resulting outcome is: scoped_user_read_access(from, Efault) unsafe_get_user(val, from, Efault); return 0; Efault: return -EFAULT; The scope guarantees the proper cleanup for the access mode is invoked both in the success and the failure (fault) path. The scoped_user_$MODE_access() macros are implemented as self terminating nested for() loops. Thanks to Andrew Cooper for pointing me at them. The scope can therefore be left with 'break', 'goto' and 'return'. Even 'continue' "works" due to the self termination mechanism. Both GCC and clang optimize all the convoluted macro maze out and the above results with clang in: b80: f3 0f 1e fa endbr64 b84: 48 b8 ef cd ab 89 67 45 23 01 movabs $0x123456789abcdef,%rax b8e: 48 39 c7 cmp %rax,%rdi b91: 48 0f 47 f8 cmova %rax,%rdi b95: 90 nop b96: 90 nop b97: 90 nop b98: 31 c9 xor %ecx,%ecx b9a: 8b 07 mov (%rdi),%eax b9c: 89 06 mov %eax,(%rsi) b9e: 85 c9 test %ecx,%ecx ba0: 0f 94 c0 sete %al ba3: 90 nop ba4: 90 nop ba5: 90 nop ba6: c3 ret Which looks as compact as it gets. The NOPs are placeholder for STAC/CLAC. GCC emits the fault path seperately: bf0: f3 0f 1e fa endbr64 bf4: 48 b8 ef cd ab 89 67 45 23 01 movabs $0x123456789abcdef,%rax bfe: 48 39 c7 cmp %rax,%rdi c01: 48 0f 47 f8 cmova %rax,%rdi c05: 90 nop c06: 90 nop c07: 90 nop c08: 31 d2 xor %edx,%edx c0a: 8b 07 mov (%rdi),%eax c0c: 89 06 mov %eax,(%rsi) c0e: 85 d2 test %edx,%edx c10: 75 09 jne c1b c12: 90 nop c13: 90 nop c14: 90 nop c15: b8 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%eax c1a: c3 ret c1b: 90 nop c1c: 90 nop c1d: 90 nop c1e: 31 c0 xor %eax,%eax c20: c3 ret The fault labels for the scoped*() macros and the fault labels for the actual user space accessors can be shared and must be placed outside of the scope. If masked user access is enabled on an architecture, then the pointer handed in to scoped_user_$MODE_access() can be modified to point to a guaranteed faulting user address. This modification is only scope local as the pointer is aliased inside the scope. When the scope is left the alias is not longer in effect. IOW the original pointer value is preserved so it can be used e.g. for fixup or diagnostic purposes in the fault path.
