[Bug 668380] Re: Lucid update to 2.6.32.25 stable release

[Leann Ogasawara]

** Description changed:

  SRU Justification
  
  Impact:
  
  The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope
  to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably fix a
  bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either directly
  from Linus' tree or in a minimally backported form of that patch. The
  2.6.32.25 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be
  included in the Ubuntu kernel as well.

    http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.32.25.bz2
  
  Test Case: TBD
  
  The following 3 patches in the 2.6.32.25 stable update were already
  release in a security update.  Therefore, we will omit these 3 patches
  from the 2.6.32.25 stable update:
  
   * ALSA: prevent heap corruption in snd_ctl_new
   * ocfs2: Don't walk off the end of fast symlinks.
-  * rose: Fix signedness issues wrt. digi count.
+  * rose: Fix signedness issues wrt. digi count.
+ 
+ Additionally, 2 patches which were applied as "pre-stable" have landed
+ in this 2.6.32.25 update.  Therefore, we will drop the pre-stable
+ patches in favor of the official patches from the 2.6.32.25 patch set:
+ 
+  * ACPI: enable repeated PCIEXP wakeup by clearing PCIEXP_WAKE_STS on resume
+  * mm: (pre-stable) Move vma_stack_continue into mm.h
+ 
+ I'd also note that it appears somewhere along the way that updateconfigs
+ and updateportsconfigs needed but be run but never was.  Thus, I've also
+ included 2 additional patches which update the configs and portsconfigs.
