Hi Greg, Al,
The patch that went into mainline and was cc'ed to stable assumes that 2cf09666
"make SYSCALL_DEFINE<n>-generated wrappers do asmlinkage_protect... and switch
i386 to HAVE_SYSCALL_WRAPPERS, killing open-coded uses of asmlinkage_protect()
in a bunch of syscalls." is also included. I think my original patch would be
better suited for the stable tree? It's tiny, independent, and it fixes the
issue. See attached patch... Al, what do you think?
Also: please note that the problem was introduced in v3.9, so this is the only
stable tree that should get this patch.
Greetings,
Alexander

Subject: [PATCH] x86, vm86: fix VM86 syscalls: use asmlinkage calling convention
Commit 49cb25e9290 x86: 'get rid of pt_regs argument in vm86/vm86old'
got rid of the pt_regs stub for sys_vm86old and sys_vm86. The functions
were, however, not changed to use the asmlinkage calling convention.
The regression was reported and pinpointed by Hans de Bruin:

And he tested the patch too:
> Yep, the grass is green again.
