Subject[PATCH] powerpc/uaccess: Don't set KUAP by default on book3s/32
Date
On book3s/32, KUAP is an heavy process as it requires to
determine which segments are impacted and unlock/lock
each of them.

And since the implementation of user_access_begin/end, it
is even worth for the time being because unlike __get_user(),
user_access_begin doesn't make difference between read and write
and unlocks access also for read allthought that's unneeded
on book3s/32.

As shown by the size of a kernel built with KUAP and one without,
the overhead is 64k bytes of code. As a comparison a similar
build on an 8xx has an overhead of only 8k bytes of code.

Until a more optimised KUAP is implemented on book3s/32,
don't select it by default.
