From 0c0f95cf586360270456e32474ea503471c13852 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tobias Klauser Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2017 16:53:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/mpx: Use compatible types in comparison to fix sparse error BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1702863 [ Upstream commit 453828625731d0ba7218242ef6ec88f59408f368 ] info->si_addr is of type void __user *, so it should be compared against something from the same address space. This fixes the following sparse error: arch/x86/mm/mpx.c:296:27: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces) Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser Cc: Dave Hansen Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Stefan Bader Signed-off-by: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo --- arch/x86/mm/mpx.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/mm/mpx.c b/arch/x86/mm/mpx.c index ef05755a1900..ec12d7aa9cb2 100644 --- a/arch/x86/mm/mpx.c +++ b/arch/x86/mm/mpx.c @@ -293,7 +293,7 @@ siginfo_t *mpx_generate_siginfo(struct pt_regs *regs) * We were not able to extract an address from the instruction, * probably because there was something invalid in it. */ - if (info->si_addr == (void *)-1) { + if (info->si_addr == (void __user *)-1) { err = -EINVAL; goto err_out; } -- 2.39.5
