[PATCH v2 00/40] uaccess: fix sparse warning on get/put_user for bitwise types

["Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@redhat.com>]

changes from v1:

- xtensa and powerpc patches have been merged by maintainers, drop them
- added patches to fix put_user on a bunch of architectures
- add acks received since v1
- a bunch of whitespace tweaks


At the moment, if p and x are both tagged as bitwise types,
some of get_user(x, p), put_user(x, p), __get_user(x, p), __put_user(x, p)
produce a sparse warning on many architectures.
This is a false positive: *p on these architectures is loaded into long
(typically using asm), then cast back to typeof(*p).

When typeof(*p) is a bitwise type (which is uncommon), such a cast needs
__force, otherwise sparse produces a warning.

Some architectures already have the __force tag, add it
where it's missing.

I verified that adding these __force casts does not supress any useful warnings.

Specifically, vhost wants to read/write bitwise types in userspace memory
using get_user/put_user.
At the moment this triggers sparse errors, since the value is passed through an
integer.

For example:
    __le32 __user *p;
    __u32 x;

both
    put_user(x, p);
and
    get_user(x, p);
should be safe, but produce warnings on some architectures.


While there, I noticed that a bunch of architectures violated
coding style rules within uaccess macros.
Added patches to fix them up.


I tested this on x86 only. Since it's just adding __force, should be
trivially safe everywhere?


Arnd, did you merge v1 already? If yes, can you please replace with
this version?
