[PATCH v2 3/5] exec: introduce conditional_user_ptr_t

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

 



No functional changes, preparation.

Introduce conditional_user_ptr_t, change do_execve() paths to use it
instead of "char __user * const __user *argv".

This makes the argv/envp arguments opaque, we are ready to handle the
compat case which needs argv pointing to compat_uptr_t.
