[PATCH 4/5] binfmt_elf: remove the set_fs(KERNEL_DS) in elf_core_dump

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There is no logic in elf_core_dump itself or in the various arch helpers
called from it which use uaccess routines on kernel pointers except for
the file writes thate are nicely encapsulated by using __kernel_write in
dump_emit.
