Hi all,
could you check the following three patches?
As explained, I try to combine the changes for static analyzers and for
the randstruct gcc plugin with cleanups.
0001-ipc-sem.c-remove-sem_base-embed-struct-sem.patch:
sem_base is not needed. Instead of improving the casts,
remove it entirely.
0002-ipc-merge-ipc_rcu-and-kern_ipc_perm.patch
struct ipc_rcu and struct kern_ipc_perm are always used together.
Thus merge them.
0003-include-linux-sem.h-Correctly-document-sem_ctime.patch
Noticed by chance: The comment regarding sem_ctime is wrong/
misleading.
And man semctl(2) contains the same wrong comment.
Especially:
@Kees: Do the patches resolve all warnings?
@Andrew: Could you add them to your tree?
And can we still aim for 4.13?
@Michael:
Should we update man semctl(2)?
Several years ago, I did a review and found that sem_ctime is only
for Coherent the time of the last change...
