From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> The compat version of sys_kexec_load() uses compat_alloc_user_space to convert the user-provided arguments into the native format, and it is one of the last system calls to do this after almost all other ones have been converted to a different solution. Change do_kexec_load_locked() to instead take a kernel pointer, and do the conversion of the compat format in the two entry points for native and compat mode. This approach was suggested by Eric Biederman, who posted the initial version as an alternative to a different patch from Arnd.
