The replacement fix (41aacc1 "x86 get_unmapped_area: Access mmap_legacy_base through mm_struct member") will appear soon in Ubuntu kernels:
  Saucy - from v3.11-rc7 which includes 41aacc1
  Raring - after 41aacc1 lands in the next 3.8-stable version
  Quantal - after 41aacc1 lands in the next 3.5-stable version
  Precise - after 41aacc1 lands in the next 3.2-stable version

For the record, (df54d6f "x86 get_unmapped_area(): use proper mmap base
for bottom-up direction") was NOT actually applied to 3.8 or 3.5 stable.
For Ubuntu kernels, only Saucy's v3.11-rc6 pre-release kernel is
affected by the bug.

Title:
  With Kernel 3.11RC6 Ubuntu servguide PDF compile crashes

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  In Progress
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I often run the current release candidate (RC) on a 12.04 server computer.
  When compiling any non-english PDF version of the Ubuntu server guide, one of the programs crashes (and creates a log, which I will attach shortly, but summary below). While it has been a very long time since I tried to compile a non-english PDF serverguide, I did more work to narrow down the issue:

  Kernel: Ubuntu 3.11 RC5 = No Problem (actually, all tested kernels <= 3.11 RC5)
  Kernel: Kernel.org 3.11 RC5 = No Problem
  Kernel: Ubuntu 3.11 RC6 = Problem
  Kernel: Kernel.org 3.11 RC6 = Problem
