From 57f47ba0cb74303230a373d27238a0aaa0df3775 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2013 14:08:35 +0200 Subject: s390/appldata: make copy_from_user() invocations provably correct Just change the type of "len" to unsigned int so the compiler can prove that we don't have a buffer overflow (and generates less code). We get rid of these: In function 'copy_from_user', inlined from 'appldata_interval_handler' at arch/s390/appldata/appldata_base.c:265: uaccess.h:303: warning: call to 'copy_from_user_overflow' declared with attribute warning: copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct In function 'copy_from_user', inlined from 'appldata_timer_handler' at arch/s390/appldata/appldata_base.c:225: uaccess.h:303: warning: call to 'copy_from_user_overflow' declared with attribute warning: copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct In function 'copy_from_user', inlined from 'appldata_generic_handler' at arch/s390/appldata/appldata_base.c:333: uaccess.h:303: warning: call to 'copy_from_user_overflow' declared with attribute warning: copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky --- arch/s390/appldata/appldata_base.c | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) (limited to 'arch/s390/appldata/appldata_base.c') diff --git a/arch/s390/appldata/appldata_base.c b/arch/s390/appldata/appldata_base.c index 87a22092b68f..603d2003cd9f 100644 --- a/arch/s390/appldata/appldata_base.c +++ b/arch/s390/appldata/appldata_base.c @@ -204,7 +204,7 @@ static int appldata_timer_handler(ctl_table *ctl, int write, void __user *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { - int len; + unsigned int len; char buf[2]; if (!*lenp || *ppos) { @@ -246,7 +246,8 @@ static int appldata_interval_handler(ctl_table *ctl, int write, void __user *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { - int len, interval; + unsigned int len; + int interval; char buf[16]; if (!*lenp || *ppos) { @@ -290,7 +291,8 @@ appldata_generic_handler(ctl_table *ctl, int write, void __user *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { struct appldata_ops *ops = NULL, *tmp_ops; - int rc, len, found; + unsigned int len; + int rc, found; char buf[2]; struct list_head *lh; -- cgit
