The patch titled
Sanitize the type of struct user.u_ar0
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
sanitize-the-type-of-struct-useru_ar0.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Sanitize the type of struct user.u_ar0
From: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@xxxxxxxxx>
struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all
architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an
a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers,
which is pointless -- <asm/user.h> is not exported to userspace, and it
just makes the code messy.
Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer
on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof()
instead of hand-coded arithmetic.
