[PATCH 3.12 127/176] um: Skip futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() test

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Richard Weinberger <richard@xxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit f911d731054ab3d82ee72a16b889e17ca3a2332a upstream.

futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() does not work on UML because
it triggers a copy_from_user() in kernel context.
On UML copy_from_user() can only be used if the kernel was called
by a real user space process such that UML can use ptrace()
to fetch the value.
