From e9d1b4f3c60997fe197bf0243cb4a41a44387a88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Hansen Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2015 14:30:22 -0800 Subject: x86, mpx: Strictly enforce empty prctl() args Description from Michael Kerrisk. He suggested an identical patch to one I had already coded up and tested. commit fe3d197f8431 "x86, mpx: On-demand kernel allocation of bounds tables" added two new prctl() operations, PR_MPX_ENABLE_MANAGEMENT and PR_MPX_DISABLE_MANAGEMENT. However, no checks were included to ensure that unused arguments are zero, as is done in many existing prctl()s and as should be done for all new prctl()s. This patch adds the required checks.
