[PATCHES] uaccess misc

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

 



	The stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else.  Hopefully
saner marshalling for weird 7-argument syscalls (pselect6()),
low-hanging fruit in several binfmt, unsafe_put_user-based
x86 cp_stat64(), etc. - there's really no common topic here.

	BTW, after that series there's no more __clear_user()
callers outside of arch/* and damn few in arch/*, other than
clear_user() instances themselves...

Branch is uaccess.misc, based at uaccess.base.


Al Viro (9):
      pselect6() and friends: take handling the combined 6th/7th args into helper
      binfmt_elf: don't bother with __{put,copy_to}_user()
      binfmt_elf_fdpic: don't use __... uaccess primitives
      binfmt_flat: don't use __put_user()
      x86: switch cp_stat64() to unsafe_put_user()
      TEST_ACCESS_OK _never_ had been checked anywhere
      user_regset_copyout_zero(): use clear_user()
      x86: kvm_hv_set_msr(): use __put_user() instead of 32bit __clear_user()
      bpf: make bpf_check_uarg_tail_zero() use check_zeroed_user()
