Kernel 4.11.0 osscore.c compile fix

[hash]

So with Linux Kernel 4.11.0, osscore.c no longer compiles with error as follows:

Code: Select all

osscore.c:477:23: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type 'const struct cred'    return current->cred->uid.val;

So I "fiddled around" and came up with following fix:
