Have a couple of extra warnings:
fs/binfmt_elf.c: In function `create_elf_tables':
fs/binfmt_elf.c:239: warning: initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast
fs/binfmt_elf.c:249: warning: initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast
#ifndef elf_addr_t
#define elf_addr_t unsigned long
#endif
elf_addr_t *argv, *envp;
__put_user(NULL, argv);
__put_user(NULL, envp);
It would therefore appear that x86 __put_user is not properly type-checking
the arguments to __put_user().
Here's a patch which fixes the warning (but doesn't fix x86's type-check
challenged __put_user implementation):
