X-Git-Tag: v2.6.21-rc6~118 X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=04a395233089ed160ef87a6c2155e5dedc6f7d15;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git [PATCH] Add const to pointer qualifiers for __chk_user_ptr and __chk_io_ptr. Change prototypes for __chk_user_ptr and __chk_io_ptr to take const void* instead of void*, so that code can pass "const void *" to them. (Right now sparse does not warn about passing const void* to void* functions, but that is a separate bug that I believe Josh is working on, and once sparse does check this, the changed prototypes will be necessary.)
