futex(2) says that 'utime' is a pointer to 'const'. The implementation doesn't use 'const'; however, it _never_ modifies the contents of utime. - futex() either uses 'utime' as a pointer to struct or as a 'u32'. - In case it's used as a 'u32', it makes a copy of it, and of course it is not dereferenced. - In case it's used as a 'struct __kernel_timespec __user *', the pointer is not dereferenced inside the futex() definition, and it is only passed to a function: get_timespec64(), which accepts a 'const struct __kernel_timespec __user *'. [ tglx: Make the same change to the compat syscall and fixup the prototypes. ] Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <alx.manpages@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201128123945.4592-1-alx.manpages@gmail.com |

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
