From 8832317f662c06f5c06e638f57bfe89a71c9b266 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vasant Hegde Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2015 15:53:29 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/rtas: Validate rtas.entry before calling enter_rtas() Currently we do not validate rtas.entry before calling enter_rtas(). This leads to a kernel oops when user space calls rtas system call on a powernv platform (see below). This patch adds code to validate rtas.entry before making enter_rtas() call.
