I think you mean "array" instead of "matrix" in your translation.
In fact, you should rerun should build failures with "LANG=C"
for the benefit of people reading your report.
Something is very wrong with the compiler, do_notify_resume() reads:
void do_notify_resume(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long orig_i0, int restart_syscall,
unsigned long thread_info_flags)
{
if (thread_info_flags & (_TIF_SIGPENDING | _TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK))
do_signal(regs, orig_i0, restart_syscall);
}
uaccess.h, line 233 is:
static inline unsigned long __must_check
copy_to_user(void __user *to, const void *from, unsigned long size)
{
unsigned long ret = ___copy_to_user(to, from, size);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
copy_to_user() isn't being called in do_notify_resume() at all.
Perhaps it's probably warning about some call to copy_to_user() that
results from the inline expansion of do_signal() and all sub-calls.
But it's a bug that GCC isn't indicating exactly where the problem is,
and in what specific function. My guess is that it's losing context
during all of the inline expansions.
