Its filename is powerpc-fix-incorrect-setting-of-__have_arch_pte_special.patch A git repo of this tree can be found at http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary From benh@kernel.crashing.org Thu Oct 1 15:36:15 2009 From: Weirich, Bernhard <Bernhard.Weirich@riedel.net> Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:16:53 +1000 Subject: powerpc: Fix incorrect setting of __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL To: stable <stable@kernel.org> Cc: linuxppc-dev list <linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org>, bernhard.weirich@riedel.net, RFeany@mrv.com Message-ID: <1253776613.7103.433.camel@pasglop> From: Weirich, Bernhard <Bernhard.Weirich@riedel.net> [I'm going to fix upstream differently, by having all CPU types actually support _PAGE_SPECIAL, but I prefer the simple and obvious fix for -stable. -- Ben] The test that decides whether to define __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL on powerpc is bogus and will end up always defining it, even when _PAGE_SPECIAL is not supported (in which case it's 0) such as on 8xx or 40x processors.
