[PATCH] x86: ia32_setup_rt_frame(): propagate __user annotations properly

[PATCH] x86: ia32_setup_rt_frame(): propagate __user annotations properly

[Lukas Bulwahn]

Commit 57d563c82925 ("x86: ia32_setup_rt_frame(): consolidate uaccess
areas") dropped a __user annotation in a cast when refactoring __put_user()
to unsafe_put_user().

Hence, since then, sparse warns in arch/x86/ia32/ia32_signal.c:350:9:

  warning: cast removes address space '__user' of expression
  warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
    expected void const volatile [noderef] __user *ptr
    got unsigned long long [usertype] *

Add the __user annotation to restore the propagation of address spaces.

applies cleanly on current master (v5.10-rc7) and next-20201204

Thomas, Ingo, Boris, please pick this minor non-urgent clean-up patch.

Why?

Isn't it obvious that when you send a patch to us, the final goal is for
it to be applied. Eventually.

Yes, agree. Other maintainers noted that I should point out that the
patch is only a minor clean-up and it is not urgent to be considered.

So, I add this remark to make clear that it is not top priority to
apply just that the maintainers know.

You will sure review it eventually, and hopefully accept it then.

If that comment disturbs you, please ignore it.

Well, after I review it, I probably should know what the priority is,
right?

I was just wondering why you're writing something which is not really
needed. Notes under "---" are usually used to clarify aspects of the
patch handling, versioning, etc.

Thx.
