Merge tag 'usercopy-v4.8-rc6-part2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux
Pull more hardened usercopyfixes from Kees Cook:
- force check_object_size() to be inline too
- move page-spanning check behind a CONFIG since it's triggering false
positives
[ Changed the page-spanning config option to depend on EXPERT in the
merge. That way it still gets build testing, and you can enable it if
you want to, but is never enabled for "normal" configurations ]
* tag 'usercopy-v4.8-rc6-part2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux:
usercopy: remove page-spanning test for now
usercopy: force check_object_size() inline
