And compat_ptr clears the upper 32-bit of the register. If the register is loaded to e.g. "lr" or "l" there will be junk in the 4 upper bytes. > You are probably right about /dev/random, which could be > used in lots of weird code, but I wonder to what degree we > need to worry about it for the rest. -- blue skies, Martin.
