From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>KEXEC_ARCH_DEFAULT The compat version of sys_kexec_load() uses compat_alloc_user_space to convert the user-provided arguments into the native format. Move the conversion into the regular implementation with an in_compat_syscall() check to simplify it and avoid the compat_alloc_user_space() call. compat_sys_kexec_load() now behaves the same as sys_kexec_load().Nacked-by: "Eric W. Biederman" [off-list ref] KEXEC_ARCH_DEFAULT The patch is wrong. The logic between the compat entry point and the ordinary entry point are by necessity different. This unifies the logic and breaks the compat entry point. The fundamentally necessity is that the code being loaded needs to know which mode the kernel is running in so it can safely transition to the new kernel. Given that the two entry points fundamentally need different logic, and that difference was not preserved and the goal of this patchset was to unify that which fundamentally needs to be different. I don't think this patch series makes any sense for kexec.Sorry, I'm not following that explanation. Can you clarify what different modes of the kernel you are referring to here, and how my patch changes this?
I think something like the untested diff below is enough to get rid of compat_alloc_user cleanly. Certainly it should be enough to give any idea what I am thinking.
