Subject: Bug in console_ioctl(4)
Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2010 13:43:48 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101116214348.GA12414@armory.com> (raw)
Using Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit, but I see that this problem is present in the online
man pages as well.
The argp for various of the console keyboard "get" ioctls - KDGETMODE,
KDGKBMODE, KDGKBMETA - is described as "argp points to a long".
This is not correct; in the kernel it's
put_user(ucval, (int __user *)arg)
This will work with a 32-bit binary, but will leave the upper part of the word
unset with a 64-bit (LP64) binary.
John
