The fault_addr argument to fpu_emulator_cop1Handler(), fpux_emu() and
cop1Emulate() has up until now been declared as:
void *__user *fault_addr
This is essentially a pointer in user memory which points to a pointer
to void. This is not the intent for our code, which is actually
operating on a pointer to a pointer to void where the pointer to void is
pointing at user memory. ie. the pointer is in kernel memory & points to
user memory.
This mismatch produces a lot of sparse warnings that look like this:
arch/mips/math-emu/cp1emu.c:1485:45:
warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
expected void *[noderef] <asn:1><noident>
got unsigned int [noderef] [usertype] <asn:1>*[assigned] va
Fix these by modifying the declaration of the fault_addr argument to:
void __user **fault_addr

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
