Subject: [PATCH v1 4/4] perf_event_open: switch to copy_struct_from_user()
Date:   Wed, 25 Sep 2019 18:59:15 +0200
Message-Id: <20190925165915.8135-5-cyphar@cyphar.com>
In-Reply-To: <20190925165915.8135-1-cyphar@cyphar.com>

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

The change is very straightforward, and helps unify the syscall
interface for struct-from-userspace syscalls.
