Hi,Mark, kindly ping...
Thanks,

> Since V3:
> 1. According to Robin's suggestion, direct modify user_ldst and

> 2. Add new macro USER_MC in asm-uaccess.h, used in copy_from_user.S
> and copy_to_user.S.
> 3. According to Robin's suggestion, using micro in copy_page_mc.S to

> 4. According to KeFeng's suggestion, modify powerpc code in patch1.
> 5. According to KeFeng's suggestion, modify mm/extable.c and some code
> optimization.

> Since V2:
> 1. According to Mark's suggestion, all uaccess can be recovered due to
> memory error.
> 2. Scenario pagecache reading is also supported as part of uaccess
> (copy_to_user()) and duplication code problem is also solved.
> Thanks for Robin's suggestion.
> 3. According Mark's suggestion, update commit message of patch 2/5.
> 4. According Borisllav's suggestion, update commit message of patch 1/5.

> Since V1:
> 1.Consistent with PPC/x86, Using CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_COPY_MC instead of

> 2.Add two new scenes, cow and pagecache reading.
> 3.Fix two small bug(the first two patch).
