3.16.7-ckt6 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Richard Weinberger <[email protected]> commit f911d731054ab3d82ee72a16b889e17ca3a2332a upstream. futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() does not work on UML because it triggers a copy_from_user() in kernel context. On UML copy_from_user() can only be used if the kernel was called by a real user space process such that UML can use ptrace() to fetch the value.
