I made the following modifications, and the other parts are based on 
your implementation:

arch/arm64/include/asm/asm-extable.h
[...]
.macro          _asm_extable_uaccess, insn, fixup
_ASM_EXTABLE_UACCESS(\insn, \fixup)
.endm
[...]


The following errors are reported during compilation:
[...]
arch/arm64/lib/clear_user.S:45: Error: invalid operands (*ABS* and *UND* 
sections) for `<<'
[...]

"<<" is invalid operands in assembly, is there something wrong with me?

Thanks,
Tong.
