[Qemu-devel] [PULL 12/24] linux-user: Dereference Pointer Argument to ipc/semctl Sys Call

[riku . voipio]

From: Tom Musta <address@hidden>

When the ipc system call is used to wrap a semctl system call,
the ptr argument to ipc needs to be dereferenced prior to passing
it to the semctl handler.  This is because the fourth argument to
semctl is a union and not a pointer to a union.
