Hi Chris,
> Previously setup_sigcontext() performed a costly KUAP switch on every
> uaccess operation. These repeated uaccess switches cause a significant
> drop in signal handling performance.
>
> Rewrite setup_sigcontext() to assume that a userspace write access window
> is open. Replace all uaccess functions with their 'unsafe' versions
> which avoid the repeated uaccess switches.
Just to clarify the commit message a bit: you're also changing the
callers of the old safe versions to first open the window, then call the
unsafe variants, then close the window again.

I notice we get rid of access_ok, but that's fine because
user_write_access_begin includes access_ok since Linus decided that was
a good idea.

Here you're opening a window for all of `frame`...

... but here you're only passing in frame->uc.uc_mcontext for writing.
ISTR that the underlying AMR switch is fully on / fully off so I don't
think it really matters, but in this case should you be calling
user_write_access_begin() with &frame->uc.uc_mcontext and the size of
that?

Apart from the size thing, everything looks good to me. I checked that
all the things you've changed from safe to unsafe pass the same
parameters, and they all looked good to me.
With those caveats,
