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=patch&r1=237241&r2=237240&pathrev=237241
 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.
