From: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 453828625731d0ba7218242ef6ec88f59408f368 ] info->si_addr is of type void __user *, so it should be compared against something from the same address space. This fixes the following sparse error: arch/x86/mm/mpx.c:296:27: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces) Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <alexander.levin@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/x86/mm/mpx.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/mm/mpx.c b/arch/x86/mm/mpx.c index e4f800999b32..3e7c489e1f55 100644 --- a/arch/x86/mm/mpx.c +++ b/arch/x86/mm/mpx.c @@ -293,7 +293,7 @@ siginfo_t *mpx_generate_siginfo(struct pt_regs *regs) * We were not able to extract an address from the instruction, * probably because there was something invalid in it. */ - if (info->si_addr == (void *)-1) { + if (info->si_addr == (void __user *)-1) { err = -EINVAL; goto err_out; } -- 2.11.0
