From 6e16d89bcd668a95eb22add24c02d80890232b66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 00:15:57 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Sanitize the type of struct user.u_ar0 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers, which is pointless -- is not exported to userspace, and it just makes the code messy. Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof() instead of hand-coded arithmetic.
