[PATCH 0/4] strict user copy checks on x86_64

[Stephen Boyd]

Andrew,

I'm sending this to you because these weren't picked up
last round and the final patch is cross architecture.

Backstory
---------
It turns out that strict user copy checks (also known as
CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS) isn't actually implemented
on x86_64 and thus we aren't catching potential security holes
at compile time.

This series adds support for strict user copy checks on x86_64
and silences all the benign warnings in the x86_64 allyesconfig for
linux-next 20110531.

The final patch consolidates the config option as its duplicated
across mutliple arches.

Stephen Boyd (4):
  lpfc: Silence DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS=y warning
  kprobes: Silence DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS=y warning
  x86: Implement strict user copy checks for x86_64
  Consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS
