    mm: Make copy_from_user() in migrate.c statically predictable · 87b8d1ad
    H. Peter Anvin 提交于
    x86-32 has had a static test for copy_on_user() overflow for a while.
    This test currently fails in mm/migrate.c resulting in an
    allyesconfig/allmodconfig build failure on x86-32:
    
    In function ‘copy_from_user’,
        inlined from ‘do_pages_stat’ at
        /home/hpa/kernel/git/mm/migrate.c:1012:
    /home/hpa/kernel/git/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_32.h:212: error:
        call to ‘copy_from_user_overflow’ declared
    
    Make the logic more explicit and therefore easier for gcc to
    understand.
    
    v2: rewrite the loop entirely using a more normal structure for a
        chunked-data loop (Linus Torvalds)
