The amount of code executed with enabled user space access (unlocked KUAP) should be minimal. However with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING or CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP enabled, might_fault() may end up replaying interrupts which in turn may access the user space and forget to restore the KUAP state.
The problem places are: 1. strncpy_from_user (and similar) which unlock KUAP and call unsafe_get_user -> __get_user_allowed -> __get_user_nocheck() with do_allow=false to skip KUAP as the caller took care of it. 2. __put_user_nocheck_goto() which is called with unlocked KUAP. This changes __get_user_nocheck() to look at @do_allow to decide whether to skip might_fault(). Since strncpy_from_user/etc call might_fault() anyway before unlocking KUAP, there should be no visible change. This drops might_fault() in __put_user_nocheck_goto() as it is only called from unsafe_xxx helpers which manage KUAP themselves. Since keeping might_fault() is still desireable, this adds those to user_access_begin/read/write which is the last point where we can safely do so.
