From f911d731054ab3d82ee72a16b889e17ca3a2332a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Weinberger Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2014 13:53:51 +0100 Subject: um: Skip futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() test futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() does not work on UML because it triggers a copy_from_user() in kernel context. On UML copy_from_user() can only be used if the kernel was called by a real user space process such that UML can use ptrace() to fetch the value.

We need to use the ____cacheline_aligned version instead to fix this issue.
