Commit865c50e1d2("x86/uaccess: utilize CONFIG_CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO_OUTPUT") added an optimised version of __get_user_asm() for x86 using 'asm goto'. Like the non-optimised code, the 32-bit implementation of 64-bit get_user() expands to a pair of 32-bit accesses. Unlike the non-optimised code, the _original_ pointer is incremented to copy the high word instead of loading through a new pointer explicitly constructed to point at a 32-bit type. Consequently, if the pointer points at a 64-bit type then we end up loading the wrong data for the upper 32-bits. This was observed as a mount() failure in Android targeting i686 afterb0cfcdd9b9("d_path: make 'prepend()' fill up the buffer exactly on overflow") because the call to copy_from_kernel_nofault() from prepend_copy() ends up in __get_kernel_nofault() and casts the source pointer to a 'u64 __user *'. An attempt to mount at "/debug_ramdisk" therefore ends up failing trying to mount "/debumdismdisk". Use the existing '__gu_ptr' source pointer to unsigned int for 32-bit __get_user_asm_u64() instead of the original pointer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
