The patch titled x86: correctly wire up the newuname system call has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was x86-correctly-wire-up-the-newuname-system-call.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: x86: correctly wire up the newuname system call From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Before commit e28cbf22933d0c0ccaf3c4c27a1a263b41f73859 ("improve sys_newuname() for compat architectures") 64-bit x86 had a private implementation of sys_uname which was just called sys_uname, which other architectures used for the old uname. Due to some merge issues with the uname refactoring patches we ended up calling the old uname version for both the old and new system call slots, which lead to the domainname filed never be set which caused failures with libnss_nis.
