Subject: [PATCH] kernel/sys.c: fix prototype of prctl_get_tid_address()
Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2020 03:04:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201024010427.27405-1-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> (raw)
tid_addr is not a "pointer to (pointer to int in userspace)"; it is in
fact a "pointer to (pointer to int in userspace) in userspace". So
sparse rightfully complains about passing a kernel pointer to
put_user().
