Subject: alpha: osf_sys.c: fix put_tv32 regression
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>
commit 47669fb6b5951d0e09fc99719653e0ac92b50b99 upstream.
There was a typo in the new version of put_tv32() that caused an unguarded
access of a user space pointer, and failed to return the correct result in
gettimeofday(), wait4(), usleep_thread() and old_adjtimex().
This fixes it to give the correct behavior again.
Fixes: 1cc6c4635e9f ("osf_sys.c: switch handling of timeval32/itimerval32 to copy_{to,from}_user()")
