Hi all,
Today's linux-next build (i386 defconfig) produced these warnings:
In file included from arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:572,
from kernel/capability.c:18:
arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_32.h: In function 'sys_capset':
arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_32.h:211: warning: call to 'copy_from_user_overflow' declared with attribute warning: copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct

Brought to light by commit 4a3127693001c61a21d1ce680db6340623f52e93
("x86: Turn the copy_from_user check into an (optional) compile time
warning") from the tip tree.
Clearly these are not problems with the tip tree, but someone may want to
look at them.
