This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled use clamp_t in UNAME26 fix to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.yuz extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.yuz tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Herton ------ From f6a6ce7fd46533cfdf3bcd781143479b71fb119c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 18:45:53 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] use clamp_t in UNAME26 fix commit 31fd84b95eb211d5db460a1dda85e004800a7b52 upstream. The min/max call needed to have explicit types on some architectures (e.g. mn10300). Use clamp_t instead to avoid the warning: kernel/sys.c: In function 'override_release': kernel/sys.c:1287:10: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [enabled by default] Reported-by: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton.krzesinski@canonical.com> --- kernel/sys.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) -- 1.7.9.5
