has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
exec-simplify-the-copy_strings_kernel-calling-convention.patch
This patch was dropped because it had testing failures
------------------------------------------------------
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>
Subject: exec: simplify the copy_strings_kernel calling convention
copy_strings_kernel is always used with a single argument, adjust the
calling convention to that.
