Subject: x86: Remove weird PTR_ERR() in do_debug
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5a802e15308f152247433d87050d1bfbf9613483;p=linux-beck.git

x86: Remove weird PTR_ERR() in do_debug

62edab905 changed the argument to notify_die() from dr6 to &dr6,
but weirdly, used PTR_ERR() to cast it to a long.  Since dr6 is
on the stack, this is an abuse of PTR_ERR().  Cast to long, as
per kernel standard.
