Subject: [PATCH] freepgt: sys_mincore ignore FIRST_USER_PGD_NR
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.12-rc3~15
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8462e201756dd3bbe7e542106fc6fd6fe059cee2;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] freepgt: sys_mincore ignore FIRST_USER_PGD_NR

Remove use of FIRST_USER_PGD_NR from sys_mincore: it's inconsistent (no other
syscall refers to it), unnecessary (sys_mincore loops over vmas further down)
and incorrect (misses user addresses in ARM's first pgd).
