[PATCH 3.12 097/119] sh64: failing __get_user() should zero

From: Jiri Slaby <hidden>
Date: 2016-09-29 10:35:20
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: superh, the rest · Maintainers: Yoshinori Sato, Rich Felker, John Paul Adrian Glaubitz, Linus Torvalds

From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit c6852389228df9fb3067f94f3b651de2a7921b36 upstream.

It could be done in exception-handling bits in __get_user_b() et.al.,
but the surgery involved would take more knowledge of sh64 details
than I have or _want_ to have.
