    [PATCH] remove getname32 · 64088985
    Stephen Rothwell authored
    arch/ppc64/kernel/sys_ppc32.c has a getname32 function.  The only
    difference between it and getname() is that it calls do_getname32()
    instead of do_getname() (see fs/namei.c).  The difference between
    do_getname and do_getname32 is that the former checks to make sure that
    the pointer it is passed is less that TASK_SIZE and restricts the length
    copied to the lesser of PATH_MAX and (TASK_SIZE - pointer).
    do_getname32 uses PAGE_SIZE instead of PATH_MAX.
    
    Anton Blanchard says it is OK to remove getname32.
    
    arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c defined a getname32(), but nothing used it.
    
    This patch removes both.
