      fs: change sys_truncate length parameter type · 4fd8da8d
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      For this system call user space passes a signed long length parameter,
      while the kernel side takes an unsigned long parameter and converts it
      later to signed long again.
      
      This has led to bugs in compat wrappers see e.g.  dd90bbd5 "powerpc: Add
      compat_sys_truncate".  The s390 compat wrapper for this functions is
      broken as well since it also performs zero extension instead of sign
      extension for the length parameter.
      
      In addition if hpa comes up with an automated way of generating
      compat wrappers it would generate a wrong one here.
      
      So change the length parameter from unsigned long to long.
