3.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx> commit f911d731054ab3d82ee72a16b889e17ca3a2332a upstream. futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() does not work on UML because it triggers a copy_from_user() in kernel context. On UML copy_from_user() can only be used if the kernel was called by a real user space process such that UML can use ptrace() to fetch the value.
