RE: [PATCH v3 1/4] kexec: simplify compat_sys_kexec_load

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().

How many segments are there?
The multiple copy_from_user() will be slow.

Should there be a bound check on nr_segments?
I can't see one in the code in this patch.

An alternate sequence (which Eric will like even less!) is to
do a single copy_from_user() for the entire compat size array
into the 'normal' buffer and then do a reverse order conversion
of each array entry from 'compat' to '64 bit'.
