Subject: [PATCH RFC 5/7] fs: Silence bogus copy_to_user() build errors
Date: Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:20:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1334420437-19264-5-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1334420437-19264-1-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul.mckenney@linaro.org>

The copy_to_user() function now does some compile-time buffer-size
checks, but these checks can be fooled by pointers, which always
appear to be 4 or 8 bytes long for 32-bit and 64-bit builds, respectively.
Take care of the warnings in fs/binfmt_misc.c by invoking the underlying
_copy_to_user() function.
