Hi all, Today's linux-next merge of the akpm-current tree got a conflict in: include/linux/binfmts.h between commit: 96ecee29b0b5 ("exec: Merge install_exec_creds into setup_new_exec") from the userns tree and commit: 4bdbcefd2bd8 ("exec: simplify the copy_strings_kernel calling convention") from the akpm-current tree. I fixed it up (see below) and can carry the fix as necessary. This is now fixed as far as linux-next is concerned, but any non trivial conflicts should be mentioned to your upstream maintainer when your tree is submitted for merging. You may also want to consider cooperating with the maintainer of the conflicting tree to minimise any particularly complex conflicts. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell diff --cc include/linux/binfmts.h index 1b48e2154766,3d3afe094c97..000000000000 --- a/include/linux/binfmts.h +++ b/include/linux/binfmts.h @@@ -143,8 -144,8 +143,7 @@@ extern int setup_arg_pages(struct linux extern int transfer_args_to_stack(struct linux_binprm *bprm, unsigned long *sp_location); extern int bprm_change_interp(const char *interp, struct linux_binprm *bprm); - extern int copy_strings_kernel(int argc, const char *const *argv, - struct linux_binprm *bprm); + int copy_string_kernel(const char *arg, struct linux_binprm *bprm); -extern void install_exec_creds(struct linux_binprm *bprm); extern void set_binfmt(struct linux_binfmt *new); extern ssize_t read_code(struct file *, unsigned long, loff_t, size_t);
