4.2.8-ckt8 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx> commit e3893027a300927049efc1572f852201eb785142 upstream. We want to avoid the kernel module loader to create function pointers for the kernel fixup routines of get_user() and put_user(). Changing the external reference from function type to int type fixes this. This unbreaks exception handling for get_user() and put_user() when called from a kernel module.
