Public bug reported: SRU Justification
Impact: The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either directly from Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that patch. The 2.6.35.8 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well. http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.35.8 http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.35.8.bz2 Test Case: TBD The following patches are in the 2.6.35.8 stable release: Linux 2.6.35.8 mm: Move vma_stack_continue into mm.h execve: make responsive to SIGKILL with large arguments execve: improve interactivity with large arguments setup_arg_pages: diagnose excessive argument size x86, mm: Fix CONFIG_VMSPLIT_1G and 2G_OPT trampoline x86-32: Fix dummy trampoline-related inline stubs x86-32: Separate 1:1 pagetables from swapper_pg_dir agp/intel: Fix cache control for Sandybridge x86: detect scattered cpuid features earlier PM / ACPI: Blacklist systems known to require acpi_sleep=nonvs ACPI: Disable Windows Vista compatibility for Toshiba P305D ACPI: delete ZEPTO idle=nomwait DMI quirk ACPI: EC: add Vista incompatibility DMI entry for Toshiba Satellite L355 intel_idle: PCI quirk to prevent Lenovo Ideapad s10-3 boot hang ACPI: enable repeated PCIEXP wakeup by clearing PCIEXP_WAKE_STS on resume ALSA: hda - add ideapad model for Conexant 5051 codec b44: fix carrier detection on bind powerpc: Don't use kernel stack with translation off powerpc: Initialise paca->kstack before early_setup_secondary ACPI: Handle ACPI0007 Device in acpi_early_set_pdc virtio: console: Don't block entire guest if host doesn't read data Fix VPD inquiry page wrapper bsg: fix incorrect device_status value KVM: Fix reboot on Intel hosts KVM: fix irqfd assign/deassign race KVM: x86: Move TSC reset out of vmcb_init KVM: x86: Fix SVM VMCB reset KVM: i8259: fix migration r8169: allocate with GFP_KERNEL flag when able to sleep skge: add quirk to limit DMA xfs: properly account for reclaimed inodes V4L/DVB: dib7770: enable the current mirror mmc: sdio: fix SDIO suspend/resume regression drm/radeon/kms: add quirk for MSI K9A2GM motherboard drm/radeon/kms: fix potential segfault in r600_ioctl_wait_idle drm/radeon/kms: fix up encoder info messages for DFP6 drm/radeon/kms: fix possible sigbus in evergreen accel code drm/radeon: fix PCI ID 5657 to be an RV410 drm: Hold the mutex when dropping the last GEM reference (v2) drm: Prune GEM vma entries drm/i915: fix GMCH power reporting drm/i915: Sanity check pread/pwrite drm/i915: Prevent module unload to avoid random memory corruption firewire: ohci: fix TI TSB82AA2 regression since 2.6.35 De-pessimize rds_page_copy_user x86, AMD, MCE thresholding: Fix the MCi_MISCj iteration order x86, numa: For each node, register the memory blocks actually used atl1: fix resume wext: fix potential private ioctl memory content leak mfd: Ignore non-GPIO IRQs when setting wm831x IRQ types ocfs2: Don't walk off the end of fast symlinks. reiserfs: fix unwanted reiserfs lock recursion reiserfs: fix dependency inversion between inode and reiserfs mutexes i2c-pca: Fix waitforcompletion() return value hrtimer: Preserve timer state in remove_hrtimer() drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c: Add missing error handling code dmaengine: fix interrupt clearing for mv_xor ring-buffer: Fix typo of time extends per page virtio-blk: fix request leak.
