Module name: linux-2.6

Modified files:
include/asm-parisc: thread_info.h
Log message:
SECURITY ALERT:
Calling sys_restart_syscall without having taking a signal
across a syscall leaves the restart_block uninitialized,
allowing malicious user code to crash the kernel.
FIX:
Define INIT_THREAD_INFO such that restart_block.fn is set to
the default do_not_restart_syscall.
PLEASE UPDATE YOUR KERNEL!
