Hi Linus,

The following changes since commit 28f23d1f3b6a6078312b6e9585e583cc7326fe22:

Merge branch 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip (2012-03-22 09:44:50 -0700)

are available in the git repository at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git x86-urgent-for-linus

The head of this tree is 29a2e2836ff9ea65a603c89df217f4198973a74f.

--------------------

In order, these patches:

1. addresses a long-standing related when a kernel-spawned process
gets a signal on an i386 kernel compiled without CONFIG_VM86.

2. fixes the newly introduced build warning in arch/x86/boot.

3. fixes a typo in the i386 system call table which affects building
some libcs.

--------------------

Dmitry Adamushko (1):
x86-32: Fix endless loop when processing signals for kernel tasks

H. Peter Anvin (1):
x86, boot: Correct CFLAGS for hostprogs

Thierry Reding (1):
