From 5a802e15308f152247433d87050d1bfbf9613483 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Sun, 16 Jun 2013 14:12:47 +0930 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
