From 8af2d1ab78f2342f8c4c3740ca02d86f0ebfac5a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Thomas=20Wei=C3=9Fschuh?= Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2024 12:34:25 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] admin-guide/hw-vuln/core-scheduling: fix return type of PR_SCHED_CORE_GET MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit sched_core_share_pid() copies the cookie to userspace with put_user(id, (u64 __user *)uaddr), expecting 64 bits of space. The "unsigned long" datatype that is documented in core-scheduling.rst however is only 32 bits large on 32 bit architectures. Document "unsigned long long" as the correct data type that is always 64bits large. This matches what the selftest cs_prctl_test.c has been doing all along.
