From 2ed7c03ec17779afb4fcfa3b8c61df61bd4879ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2009 14:13:54 +0100 Subject: [CVE-2009-0029] Convert all system calls to return a long Convert all system calls to return a long. This should be a NOP since all converted types should have the same size anyway. With the exception of sys_exit_group which returned void. But that doesn't matter since the system call doesn't return.
