PARISC futex: special case cmpxchg NULL in kernel space upstream commit: c20a84c91048c76c1379011c96b1a5cee5c7d9a0 commit f9e77acd4060fefbb60a351cdb8d30fca27fe194 Author: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Date: Sun Feb 24 02:10:05 2008 +0000 futex: runtime enable pi and robust functionality which was backported to stable based on mainline Commit a0c1e9073ef7428a14309cba010633a6cd6719ea added code to futex.c to detect whether futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic was implemented at run time: + curval = cmpxchg_futex_value_locked(NULL, 0, 0); + if (curval == -EFAULT) + futex_cmpxchg_enabled = 1; This is bogus on parisc, since page zero in kernel virtual space is the gateway page for syscall entry, and should not be read from the kernel. (That, and we really don't like the kernel faulting on its own address space...)
