x86: Add a Kconfig option to turn the copy_from_user warnings into errors
For automated testing it is useful to have the option to turn the warnings on copy_from_user() etc checks into errors: In function ‘copy_from_user’, inlined from ‘fd_copyin’ at drivers/block/floppy.c:3080, inlined from ‘fd_ioctl’ at drivers/block/floppy.c:3503: linux/arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_32.h:213: error: call to ‘copy_from_user_overflow’ declared with attribute error: copy_from_user buffer size is not provably correct Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> LKML-Reference: <20091002075050.4e9f7641@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
