Subject: [PATCH] fs, binfmt_aout: Fix pointer warnings
Date: Mon, 8 Mar 2010 16:46:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100308154601.GA30454@a1.tnic> (raw)

Hi,

I'm getting the warnings in the commit message below with current git. Maybe fix
them like this:

Subject: [PATCH] fs, binfmt_aout: Fix pointer warnings
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

I get

fs/binfmt_aout.c: In function ‘aout_core_dump’:
fs/binfmt_aout.c:125: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘dump_write’ makes pointer from integer without a cast
include/linux/coredump.h:12: note: expected ‘const void *’ but argument is of type ‘long unsigned int’
fs/binfmt_aout.c:132: warning: passing argument 2 of ‘dump_write’ makes pointer from integer without a cast
include/linux/coredump.h:12: note: expected ‘const void *’ but argument is of type ‘long unsigned int’

due to dump_write() expecting a user void *. Fold casts into the
START_DATA/START_STACK macros and shut up the warnings.
