But we haven't supported that in a long time, and these # days the 'type' argument is a purely historical artifact. # # A discussion about extending 'user_access_begin()' to do the range # checking resulted this patch, because there is no way we're going to # move the old VERIFY_xyz interface to that model. And it's best done at # the end of the merge window when I've done most of my merges, so let's # just get this done once and for all. # # This patch was mostly done with a sed-script, with manual fix-ups for # the cases that weren't of the trivial 'access_ok(VERIFY_xyz' form. # # There were a couple of notable cases: # # - csky still had the old "verify_area()" name as an alias. # # - the iter_iov code had magical hardcoded knowledge of the actual # values of VERIFY_{READ,WRITE} (not that they mattered, since nothing # really used it) # # - microblaze used the type argument for a debug printout # # but other than those oddities this should be a total no-op patch. # # I tried to fix up all architectures, did fairly extensive grepping for # access_ok() uses, and the changes are trivial, but I may have missed # something. Any missed conversion should be trivially fixable, though. # # Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds # < /opt/cross/kisskb/br-aarch64-glibc-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/aarch64-linux-gcc --version # < /opt/cross/kisskb/br-aarch64-glibc-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/aarch64-linux-ld --version # < git log --format=%s --max-count=1 96d4f267e40f9509e8a66e2b39e8b95655617693 # < make -s -j 8 ARCH=arm64 O=/kisskb/build/linus_arm64-allmodconfig_arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-aarch64-glibc-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/aarch64-linux- allmodconfig # make -s -j 8 ARCH=arm64 O=/kisskb/build/linus_arm64-allmodconfig_arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-aarch64-glibc-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/aarch64-linux- arch/arm64/Makefile:27: ld does not support --fix-cortex-a53-843419; kernel may be susceptible to erratum arch/arm64/Makefile:40: LSE atomics not supported by binutils /kisskb/src/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-gru-bob.dts:25.9-29.5: Warning (graph_port): /edp-panel/ports: graph port node name should be 'port' /kisskb/src/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-gru-kevin.dts:46.9-50.5: Warning (graph_port): /edp-panel/ports: graph port node name should be 'port' /kisskb/src/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/rk3399-sapphire-excavator.dts:94.9-98.5: Warning (graph_port): /edp-panel/ports: graph port node name should be 'port' /kisskb/src/arch/arm64/kernel/head.S: Assembler messages: /kisskb/src/arch/arm64/kernel/head.S:824: Error: missing ')' /kisskb/src/arch/arm64/kernel/head.S:824: Error: missing ')' /kisskb/src/arch/arm64/kernel/head.S:824: Error: missing ')' /kisskb/src/arch/arm64/kernel/head.S:824: Error: unexpected characters following instruction at operand 2 -- `mov x2,#(2)|(2U<<(8))' make[2]: *** [/kisskb/src/scripts/Makefile.build:367: arch/arm64/kernel/head.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [/kisskb/src/Makefile:1049: arch/arm64/kernel] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make: *** [Makefile:152: sub-make] Error 2 Command 'make -s -j 8 ARCH=arm64 O=/kisskb/build/linus_arm64-allmodconfig_arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/cross/kisskb/br-aarch64-glibc-2016.08-613-ge98b4dd/bin/aarch64-linux- ' returned non-zero exit status 2 # rm -rf /kisskb/build/linus_arm64-allmodconfig_arm64 # Build took: 0:03:15.153892
