Hi,
Is it possible to apply this commit to the stable trees before 4.12?
commit 47b2c3fff4932e6fc17ce13d51a43c6969714e20
Author: Bilal Amarni <bilal.amarni@gmail.com>

security/keys: add CONFIG_KEYS_COMPAT to Kconfig
In commit 20f06ed9f61a ("KEYS: 64-bit MIPS needs to use
compat_sys_keyctl for 32-bit userspace"), the keyctl syscall for 32-bit
MIPS was "fixed" to point at compat_sys_keyctl instead of sys_keyctl.
Unfortunately this caused the syscall to always return ENOSYS because
CONFIG_KEYS_COMPAT was not enabled on MIPS. Instead of fixing this by
manually by enabling KEYS_COMPAT in the MIPS Kconfig, I think applying
the above commit is a better.
Thanks,
James

Sounds resonable, but how far back should it go? 4.9 makes sense, but stuff older than that? 4.4? 4.1? 3.16? thanks, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

I'm most interested in 4.9, but I think it should go in all versions which have 20f06ed9f61a applied, which includes all the current longterm kernels as far as I can see.

Ok, now applied, but there was some arm64 stuff that didn't match up... thanks, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
