Subject: [PATCH 3.16 176/217] parisc: Avoid function pointers for kernel
exception routines
3.16.35-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Helge Deller <deller@....de>
commit e3893027a300927049efc1572f852201eb785142 upstream.
We want to avoid the kernel module loader to create function pointers
for the kernel fixup routines of get_user() and put_user(). Changing
the external reference from function type to int type fixes this.
This unbreaks exception handling for get_user() and put_user() when
called from a kernel module.
