ARM: oabi-compat: copy semops using __copy_from_user() __get_user_error() is used as a fast accessor to make copying structure members as efficient as possible. However, with software PAN and the recent Spectre variant 1, the efficiency is reduced as these are no longer fast accessors. In the case of software PAN, it has to switch the domain register around each access, and with Spectre variant 1, it would have to repeat the access_ok() check for each access. Rather than using __get_user_error() to copy each semops element member, copy each semops element in full using __copy_from_user().
