Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2009 23:20:15 -0700 (PDT) From: Roland McGrath <roland@...hat.com> To: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>, Ingo Molnar <mingo@...hat.com>, "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@...or.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>, jan.kratochvil@...hat.com, Oleg Nesterov <oleg@...hat.com>, x86@...nel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org> Subject: [PATCH 2/4] x86: syscall_get_nr returns int Make syscall_get_nr() return int, so we always sign-extend the low 32 bits of orig_ax in checks.
