futex: Change utime parameter to be 'const ... *'
futex(2) says that 'utime' is a pointer to 'const'. The implementation doesn't use 'const'; however, it _never_ modifies the contents of utime. - futex() either uses 'utime' as a pointer to struct or as a 'u32'. - In case it's used as a 'u32', it makes a copy of it, and of course it is not dereferenced. - In case it's used as a 'struct __kernel_timespec __user *', the pointer is not dereferenced inside the futex() definition, and it is only passed to a function: get_timespec64(), which accepts a 'const struct __kernel_timespec __user *'. [ tglx: Make the same change to the compat syscall and fixup the prototypes. ] Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <alx.manpages@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201128123945.4592-1-alx.manpages@gmail.com
