Hello, Just a quick heads up that it turned out that the patch for Update for = FreeBSD-SA-12:04.sysret applied incorrectly to FreeBSD 8.1 (releng/8.1). = The patch applied, but in the wrong location. Note that this is ONLY for FreeBSD 8.1. Other branches are OK. As this is public, and rather obvious if you really look at the code in = 8.1, I decided to commit the fix as soon as possible, so it is in = releng/8.1 now as r237241 + r237242. freebsd-update does not yet have the update, but builds are running. An = advisory update will be sent out once freebsd-update will have the patch = too. If you want to hand apply the patch you can get it from = http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/releng/8.1/sys/amd64/amd64/trap.c?view=3Dpa= tch&r1=3D237241&r2=3D237240&pathrev=3D237241 assuming you already have = the original patch applied. PS. Sorry for the lack of PGP signature, but my mail program is not = cooperating and I would rather fix the issue than battle with a mail = program. --=20 Simon L. B.
