a bunch of compat a bunch of ioctl that use ptr to stored ints
ipc/shm.c:1355 ipc/shm.c:1566
mm/process_vm_access.c:178:20 mm/process_vm_access.c:180:19 substraction => harmless
mm/process_vm_access.c:221:4 ?
mm/memory.c:4679:14 should be __user pointer
fs/fuse/file.c:1256:9 ?
kernel/kthread.c:73:9 ?
mm/migrate.c:1586:10 mm/migrate.c:1660:24
lib/iov_iter.c ???
kernel/futex.c:502 uses user addr as key
kernel/futex.c:730 gup, fixed
lib/strncpy_from_user.c:110:13 fixed?
lib/strnlen_user.c:112 fixed?
fs/readdir.c:369 ???

While I support this work, as a maintainer I'd like to understand whether we'd be in a continuous chase of ABI breaks with every kernel release or we have a better way to identify potential issues. Is there any way to statically analyse conversions from __user ptr to long for example? Or, could we get the compiler to do this for us?
OK, got it, I'll try to figure out a way to find these conversions.
I've prototyped a checker on top of clang static analyzer (initially looked at sparse, but couldn't find any documentation or examples). The results are here [1], search for "warning: user pointer cast". Sharing in case anybody wants to take a look, will look at them myself tomorrow.
