This patch has introduced a few minor regressions for which Andy has
provided fixes already pending in latest stable previews, so maybe it
could make sense to either pick them as well or delay all of them for
another round. Greg has queued them in his latest preview if you are
interested (eg: 19/32 and 20/32 for 3.10.67) :
- e30ab18 ("x86, tls, ldt: Stop checking lm in LDT_empty")
- 3669ef9 ("x86, tls: Interpret an all-zero struct user_desc as "no segment"")
Best regards,
Willy
