[PATCH 3.10 29/70] parisc: Use compat layer for msgctl, shmat, shmctl and semtimedop syscalls

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Wed Nov 19 2014 - 16:31:08 EST


3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx>

commit 2fe749f50b0bec07650ef135b29b1f55bf543869 upstream.

Switch over the msgctl, shmat, shmctl and semtimedop syscalls to use the compat
layer. The problem was found with the debian procenv package, which called
shmctl(0, SHM_INFO, &info);
in which the shmctl syscall then overwrote parts of the surrounding areas on
the stack on which the info variable was stored and thus lead to a segfault
later on.

Additionally fix the definition of struct shminfo64 to use unsigned longs like
the other architectures. This has no impact on userspace since we only have a
32bit userspace up to now.
