According to your suggestion, i think the definition is like this:

#define EX_TYPE_NONE 0
#define EX_TYPE_FIXUP 1 --> delete
#define EX_TYPE_BPF 2
#define EX_TYPE_UACCESS_ERR_ZERO 3
#define EX_TYPE_LOAD_UNALIGNED_ZEROPAD 4
#define EX_TYPE_UACCESS xx --> add
#define EX_TYPE_KACCESS_ERR_ZERO xx --> add
[The value defined by the macro here is temporary]

There are two points to modify:

1、_get_kernel_nofault() and __put_kernel_nofault() using
EX_TYPE_KACCESS_ERR_ZERO, Other positions using
EX_TYPE_UACCESS_ERR_ZERO keep unchanged.

2、delete EX_TYPE_FIXUP.

There is no doubt about others. As for EX_TYPE_FIXUP, I think it needs
to be retained, _cond_extable(EX_TYPE_FIXUP) is still in use in assembler.h.

Thanks,
Tong.
