And a bit that has sat in a different branch since mid-August:
[x86] fix minor infoleak in get_user_ex()
get_user_ex(x, ptr) should zero x on failure. It's not a lot of a leak (at most we are leaking uninitialized 64bit value off the kernel stack, and in a fairly constrained situation, at that), but the fix is trivial, so...
