Subject: fs/binfmt_aout.c: fix pointer warnings
From: Borislav Petkov <petkovbb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
fs/binfmt_aout.c: In function `aout_core_dump':
fs/binfmt_aout.c:125: warning: passing argument 2 of `dump_write' makes pointer from integer without a cast
include/linux/coredump.h:12: note: expected `const void *' but argument is of type `long unsigned int'
fs/binfmt_aout.c:132: warning: passing argument 2 of `dump_write' makes pointer from integer without a cast
include/linux/coredump.h:12: note: expected `const void *' but argument is of type `long unsigned int'
due to dump_write() expecting a user void *. Fold casts into the
START_DATA/START_STACK macros and shut up the warnings.
