The patch titled i386: extra checks in show_registers() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is i386-extra-checks-in-show_registers.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: i386: extra checks in show_registers() From: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sometimes thread_info and task_struct get out-of-sync with each other. Printing task.thread_info in show_registers() can help spot this. And when task_struct is corrupt then task.comm can contain garbage, so only print as many characters as it can hold.
