------------------ From: Tobias Klauser <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 453828625731d0ba7218242ef6ec88f59408f368 ] info->si_addr is of type void __user *, so it should be compared against something from the same address space. This fixes the following sparse error: arch/x86/mm/mpx.c:296:27: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces) Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <[email protected]> Cc: Dave Hansen <[email protected]> Cc: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]> --- arch/x86/mm/mpx.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/arch/x86/mm/mpx.c +++ b/arch/x86/mm/mpx.c @@ -293,7 +293,7 @@ siginfo_t *mpx_generate_siginfo(struct p * We were not able to extract an address from the instruction, * probably because there was something invalid in it. */ - if (info->si_addr == (void *)-1) { + if (info->si_addr == (void __user *)-1) { err = -EINVAL; goto err_out; }
