Subject: [PATCH] futex: check and validate timevals
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.17-rc1~52
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9741ef964dc8bfeb6520825df9fed8f538c3336e;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] futex: check and validate timevals

The futex timeval is not checked for correctness.  The change does not
break existing applications as the timeval is supplied by glibc (and glibc
always passes a correct value), but the glibc-internal tests for this
functionality fail.
