Subject: [PATCH 8/9] x86: remove weird PTR_ERR() in do_debug
Date: Sun, 16 Jun 2013 14:12:47 +0930 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1371357768-4968-8-git-send-email-rusty@rustcorp.com.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1371357768-4968-1-git-send-email-rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
62edab905 changed the argument to notify_die() from dr6 to &dr6, but weirdly,
used PTR_ERR() to cast it to a long. Since dr6 is on the stack, this is
an abuse of PTR_ERR(). Cast to long, as per kernel standard.
