From 986b9eacb25910865b50e5f298aa8e2df7642f1b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rasmus Villemoes Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2020 03:04:26 +0200 Subject: kernel/sys.c: fix prototype of prctl_get_tid_address() tid_addr is not a "pointer to (pointer to int in userspace)"; it is in fact a "pointer to (pointer to int in userspace) in userspace". So sparse rightfully complains about passing a kernel pointer to put_user().
