Linux 2.6.34-rc6
Hmm.. Not much exciting here. A bit more noise than I'd like (silly powerpc defconfig updates is like a quarter of the diff, with a couple of new drivers being much of the rest). But there are a number of regression fixes here too, and hopefully we're getting closer to a final 34. Linus --- Aaro K... 30 Apr 2010 13:58

[PATCH 1/1] kgdb: don't needlessly skip PAGE_USER test for Fsl booke
From: Wufei <fei.wu(a)windriver.com> The bypassing of this test is a leftover from 2.4 vintage kernels, and is no longer appropriate, or even used by KGDB. Currently KGDB uses probe_kernel_write() for all access to memory via the KGDB core, so it can simply be deleted. This fixes CVE-2010-1446. CC: Benjamin H... 30 Apr 2010 13:58
