From ebf2d2689de551d90965090bb991fc640a0c0d41 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yann Droneaud Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2015 21:38:43 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf/x86: Fix copy_from_user_nmi() return if range is not ok Commit 0a196848ca36 ("perf: Fix arch_perf_out_copy_user default"), changes copy_from_user_nmi() to return the number of remaining bytes so that it behave like copy_from_user(). Unfortunately, when the range is outside of the process memory, the return value is still the number of byte copied, eg. 0, instead of the remaining bytes. As all users of copy_from_user_nmi() were modified as part of commit 0a196848ca36, the function should be fixed to return the total number of bytes if range is not correct.
