[PATCH 0/9] strict user copy checks on x86_64

From: Stephen Boyd <hidden>
Date: 2011-05-12 23:50:22
Also in: linux-scsi, linux-wireless, lkml

It turns out that strict user copy checks (also known as
CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS) isn't actually implemented
on x86_64 and thus we aren't catching potential security holes
at compile time.

This series adds support for strict user copy checks on x86_64
and silences all the benign warnings in the x86_64 allyesconfig.

The final patch consolidates the config option as its duplicated
across mutliple arches. I don't know what tree this series should
go through so I tried to send the individual driver patches to the
respective maintainers.
