From 7a3d9b0f3abbea957b829cdfff8169872c575642 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Beulich Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2013 09:44:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86: Unify copy_to_user() and add size checking to it Similarly to copy_from_user(), where the range check is to protect against kernel memory corruption, copy_to_user() can benefit from such checking too: Here it protects against kernel information leaks.
