FWIW, we have asm-generic/uaccess.h used by
	arc
	c6x
	hexagon
	riscv/!MMU
	um
by direct includes from asm/uaccess.h
	h8300
picked as default from asm-generic, in place of absent native uaccess.h

In asm-generic/uaccess.h we have
	raw_copy_from_user(): CONFIG_UACCESS_MEMCPY
		[h8300, riscv with your series]
	raw_copy_to_user(): CONFIG_UACCESS_MEMCP
		[h8300, riscv with your series]
	set_fs group: MAKE_MM_SEG KERNEL_DS USER_DS set_fs() get_fs() uaccess_kernel()
		all, really
	access_ok()/__access_ok() (unless overridden)
		[c6x/!CONFIG_ACCESS_CHECK h8300 riscv]
	__put_user()/put_user()
		all, implemented via __put_user_fn()
	__put_user_fn(): raw_copy_to_user(), unless overridden [all except arc]
	__get_user()/get_user()
		all, implemented via __get_user_fn()
	__get_user_fn(): raw_copy_from_user(), unless overridden [all except arc]
	__strncpy_from_user() (unless overridden) [c6x h8300 riscv]
	strncpy_from_user()
	__strnlen_user() (unless overridden) [c6x h8300 riscv]
	strnlen_user()
	__clear_user() (unless overridden) [c6x h8300 riscv]
	clear_user()

__strncpy_from_user()/__strnlen_user()/__clear_user() are never used outside
of arch/*, and there almost all callers are non-__ variants of the same.
Exceptions:
arch/hexagon/include/asm/uaccess.h:76:  long res = __strnlen_user(src, n);
	racy implementation of __strncpy_from_user()
arch/c6x/kernel/signal.c:157:   err |= __clear_user(&frame->uc, offsetof(struct ucontext, uc_mcontext));
arch/x86/include/asm/fpu/internal.h:367:        err = __clear_user(&buf->header, sizeof(buf->header));
arch/x86/kernel/fpu/signal.c:138:       if (unlikely(err) && __clear_user(buf, fpu_user_xstate_size))

and that's it.

	Now, if you look at raw_copy_from_user() you'll see an interesting
picture: some architectures special-case the handling of small constant sizes.
Namely,
	arc (any size; inlining in there is obscene, constant size or not),
	c6x (1,4,8),
	m68k/MMU (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12)
	ppc (1,2,4,8),
	h8300 (1,2,4),
	riscv (with your series)(1,2,4, 8 if 64bit).

	If you look at the callers of e.g. raw_copy_from_user(), you'll
see this:
	* default __get_user_fn() [relevant on c6x, h8300 and riscv - in
all cases it should be doing get_unaligned() instead]
	* __copy_from_user_inatomic()
	* __copy_from_user()
	* copy_from_user() in case of INLINE_COPY_FROM_USER [relevant on
arc, c6x and m68k]
	* lib/* callers, all with non-constant sizes.

Callers of __copy_from_user_inatomic() on relevant architectures, excluding the
ones with non-constant (or huge - several get PAGE_SIZE) sizes:
	* [ppc] p9_hmi_special_emu() - 16 bytes read; not recognized as special
	* [riscv] user_backtrace() - 2 words read; not recognized as special
	* __copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache()
	* arch_perf_out_copy_user()

All callers of __copy_from_user_inatomic_nocache() pass it non-constant sizes.
arch_perf_out_copy_user() is called (via layers of preprocessor abuse) via
__output_copy_user(), which gets non-constant size.

Callers of __copy_from_user() potentially hitting those:
arch/arc/kernel/signal.c:108:   err = __copy_from_user(&set, &sf->uc.uc_sigmask, sizeof(set));
arch/c6x/kernel/signal.c:82:    if (__copy_from_user(&set, &frame->uc.uc_sigmask, sizeof(set)))
arch/h8300/kernel/signal.c:114: if (__copy_from_user(&set, &frame->uc.uc_sigmask, sizeof(set)))
arch/m68k/kernel/signal.c:340:          if (__copy_from_user(current->thread.fpcntl,
arch/m68k/kernel/signal.c:794:       __copy_from_user(&set.sig[1], &frame->extramask,
arch/m68k/kernel/signal.c:817:  if (__copy_from_user(&set, &frame->uc.uc_sigmask, sizeof(set)))
arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_64.c:688:    if (__copy_from_user(&set, &new_ctx->uc_sigmask, sizeof(set)))
arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_64.c:719:    if (__copy_from_user(&set, &uc->uc_sigmask, sizeof(set)))
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_64_mmu_hv.c:1864:               if (__copy_from_user(&hdr, buf, sizeof(hdr)))
arch/riscv/kernel/signal.c:113: if (__copy_from_user(&set, &frame->uc.uc_sigmask, sizeof(set)))
drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gem/i915_gem_execbuffer.c:2244:            if (__copy_from_user(&fence, user++, sizeof(fence))) {
include/linux/regset.h:256:             } else if (__copy_from_user(data, *ubuf, copy))

The last one is user_regset_copyin() and it's going to die.
A bunch of signal-related ones are in in sigreturn variants, reading
sigset_t.  Considering that shitloads of data get copied nearby for
each such call, I would be surprised if those would be worth bothering
with.   Remaining ppc case is kvm_htab_write(), which just might be
hot enough to care; we are copying a 64bit structure, and it might
be worth reading it as a single 64bit.  And i915 is reading 64bit
objects in a loop.  Hell knows, might or might not be hot.

copy_from_user() callers on arc, c6x and m68k boil down to one case:
arch/arc/kernel/disasm.c:37:            bytes_not_copied = copy_from_user(ins_buf,
8-byte read.  And that's it.

IOW, there's a scattering of potentially valid uses that might be better
off with get_user().  And there's generic non-MMU variant that gets
used in get_user()/__get_user() on h8300 and riscv.  This one *is*
valid, but I don't think that raw_copy_from_user() is the right layer
for that.

For raw_copy_to_user() the picture is similar.  And I'd like to get
rid of that magical crap.  Let's not make it harder...
