From 2b5477098ce6509165d09dbc885feb869b7e5d45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Boyd Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2011 20:14:57 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] Enabling DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS causes the following warning: In file included from arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:573, from kernel/kprobes.c:55: In function 'copy_from_user', inlined from 'write_enabled_file_bool' at kernel/kprobes.c:2191: arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_64.h:65: warning: call to 'copy_from_user_overflow' declared with attribute warning: copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct presumably due to buf_size being signed causing GCC to fail to see that buf_size can't become negative.
