MIPS: Compat: Use 32-bit wrapper for compat_sys_futex.
We can't trust userspace to pass signed-extend arguments. Not correctly sign-extended arguments to futex-wait result in architecturally undefined operation of 32-bit arithmetic instructions. For example, if 'val' is too big and bit-31 is 1, the caller may enter endless loop at: futex_wait_setup() { ... if (uval != val) { queue_unlock(q, *hb); ret = -EWOULDBLOCK; ... } Signed-off-by: Yong Zhang <yong.zhang@windriver.com> To: linux-mips@linux-mips.org To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Patchwork: https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/2714/ Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
