The patch titled
x86_64: Pass -32 to the assembler when compiling the 32bit vsyscall pages
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
x86_64-pass-32-to-the-assembler-when-compiling.patch
This patch was probably dropped from -mm because
it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or
into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into
its parent patch in the -mm tree.
From: "Andi Kleen" <ak@xxxxxxx>
This quietens warnings and actually fixes a bug. The unwind tables would
come out wrong without -32, causing pthread cancellation during them to
crash in the gcc runtime.
The problem seems to only happen with newer binutils (it doesn't happen
with 2.16.91.0.2 but happens wit 2.16.91.0.5)
Thanks to David Altobelli <david.altobelli@xxxxxx> and Brian Baker
<Brian.B@xxxxxx> for test case and initial analysis.
