Subject: [PATCH] stackleak: let stack_erasing_sysctl take a kernel pointer buffer
Date: Mon,  7 Sep 2020 11:32:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200907093253.13656-1-tklauser@distanz.ch> (raw)

Commit 32927393dc1c ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler")
changed ctl_table.proc_handler to take a kernel pointer. Adjust the
signature of stack_erasing_sysctl to match ctl_table.proc_handler which
fixes the following sparse warning:

kernel/stackleak.c:31:50: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces)
kernel/stackleak.c:31:50:    expected void *
kernel/stackleak.c:31:50:    got void [noderef] __user *buffer

Fixes: 32927393dc1c ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler")
