Subject: [PATCH v1 7/8] powerpc/uaccess: Add unsafe_clear_user()
Date: Fri, 22 May 2026 11:56:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f06ab796cc90a74dbf6458723c080f0c86ac191e.1779441786.git.chleroy@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1779441786.git.chleroy@kernel.org>

Implement unsafe_clear_user() for powerpc.
It's a copy/paste of unsafe_copy_to_user() with value 0 as source.

It may be improved in a later patch by using 'dcbz' instruction
to zeroize full cache lines at once.
