[PATCH] x86_64: Fix access check in ptrace compat
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We can't safely directly access an compat_alloc_user_space() pointer
with the siginfo copy functions. Bounce it through the stack.

Noticed by Al Viro using sparse

[ This was only added post 2.6.17, not in any released kernel ]
