2.6.26-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
[ Upstream commit 0a4949c4414af2eb91414bcd8e2a8ac3706f7dde ]
That's the userland thread register, so we should never try to change
it like this.
Based upon glibc bug nptl/6577 and suggestions by Jakub Jelinek.
