From ed6fe9d614fc1bca95eb8c0ccd0e92db00ef9d5d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Sat, 1 Sep 2012 12:34:07 -0400 Subject: Fix order of arguments to compat_put_time[spec|val] Commit 644595f89620 ("compat: Handle COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME in net/socket.c") introduced a bug where the helper functions to take either a 64-bit or compat time[spec|val] got the arguments in the wrong order, passing the kernel stack pointer off as a user pointer (and vice versa). Because of the user address range check, that in turn then causes an EFAULT due to the user pointer range checking failing for the kernel address. Incorrectly resuling in a failed system call for 32-bit processes with a 64-bit kernel. On odder architectures like HP-PA (with separate user/kernel address spaces), it can be used read kernel memory.
