From 446f24d1199e8a546ba7c97da3fbb9a505a94795 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Boyd Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2013 15:28:42 -0700 Subject: Kconfig: consolidate CONFIG_DEBUG_STRICT_USER_COPY_CHECKS The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and s390 Kconfig.debug files. Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc. To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to this config. Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit warnings vs. ones which emit errors. The details of how an architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls. While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.
