From 7c85d1f9d358b24c5b05c3a2783a78423775a080 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Mackerras Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2006 13:02:59 +1000 Subject: powerpc: Fix machine check problem on 32-bit kernels This fixes a bug found by Dave Jones that means that it is possible for userspace to provoke a machine check on 32-bit kernels. This also fixes a couple of other places where I found similar problems by inspection.
