[PATCH SECURITY 0/1] x86, x32: Correct invalid use of user timespec in the kernel

Hi Linus,

You probably have already seen this on the <security@xxxxxxxxxx>
mailing list, but here is a cleaned up patch for you.  This is an
incorrect use of struct timespec in one of the x32 compatibility
functions; we are supposed to copy it into a kernel buffer even for
the non-compat ABI, but instead passed the pointer as if it had been a
kernel pointer.

       -hpa
