[PATCH] Fix non-lazy GS handling in sys_vm86()

From: Lubomir Rintel
Date: Sat Jun 06 2009 - 14:23:40 EST


This fixes a stack corruption panic or null dereference oops due to
a bad GS in resume_userspace() when returning from sys_vm86() and calling
lockdep_sys_exit().

Only a problem when CONFIG_LOCKDEP and CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR enabled.
