Date: Sat Sep 26 2015 - 17:07:42 EST


4.1-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Jeff Vander Stoep <jeffv@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit bf0c4e04732479f650ff59d1ee82de761c0071f0 upstream.

Move the poison pointer offset to 0xdead000000000000, a
recognized value that is not mappable by user-space exploits.
