Subject: [PATCH 1/3] sys_poll: Fix negative timeout values for x86 userland on x86_64 kernels v2
Date: Sun, 18 Sep 2011 10:04:02 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1316333042.5814.23.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

size of int and long differs on x86 and x86_64. the ia32 emulation calls
directly into the sys_poll function. when the timeout is set to -1
the test for sign will fail in sys_poll as the 64bit register is tested.
the timeout timer will be set to 0xffffffff milliseconds, but the timer
shouldn't get set at all in this situation.
