[Qemu-devel] Re: [PATCH] efault - add data type to put_user()/get_user()

[Thayne Harbaugh]

This patch updates get_user() and put_user() to take a third argument of
data type.  get_user() and put_user() use target address which are
target_ulong and don't reflect the data type pointed to in target
memory.

Simply casting the target_ulong to a type before passing to
get/put_user() is poor because target_ulong isn't always a simple cast
to a host type (consider 32 bit on 64 bit where address are either
extended or truncate).  Also, simple casting of the argument to
get/put_user() results in several warnings when target and long pointer
sizes don't match.

This patch has additional updates to fix places where get/put_user() are
already used.
