[PATCH 4.19 02/17] ARM: 8790/1: signal: always use __copy_to_user to save iwmmxt context

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Julien Thierry <julien.thierry@xxxxxxx>

Commit 73839798af7ebc6c8d0c9271ebbbc148700e521f upstream.

When setting a dummy iwmmxt context, create a local instance and
use __copy_to_user both cases whether iwmmxt is being used or not.
This has the benefit of disabling/enabling PAN once for the whole copy
intead of once per write.
