The patch titled
Subject: binfmt_elf_fdpic: remove the set_fs(KERNEL_DS) in elf_fdpic_core_dump
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
binfmt_elf_fdpic-remove-the-set_fskernel_ds-in-elf_fdpic_core_dump.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>
Subject: binfmt_elf_fdpic: remove the set_fs(KERNEL_DS) in elf_fdpic_core_dump
There is no logic in elf_fdpic_core_dump itself or in the various arch
helpers called from it which use uaccess routines on kernel pointers
except for the file writes thate are nicely encapsulated by using
__kernel_write in dump_emit.
