From 5d2fa8ebb4dae0057ed9baab617971dcd5ea493f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Musta Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2014 13:53:33 -0500 Subject: linux-user: Dereference Pointer Argument to ipc/semctl Sys Call When the ipc system call is used to wrap a semctl system call, the ptr argument to ipc needs to be dereferenced prior to passing it to the semctl handler. This is because the fourth argument to semctl is a union and not a pointer to a union.
