Title:
  Lucid update to 2.6.32.63 stable release

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “linux” source package in Lucid:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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 2.6.32.63 upstream stable
         patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
         kernel as well.

         git://git.kernel.org/

      TEST CASE: TBD

         The following patches are in the 2.6.32.63 stable release:

  Linux 2.6.32.63
  net: fix regression introduced in 2.6.32.62 by sysctl fixes
  auditsc: audit_krule mask accesses need bounds checking
  futex: Prevent attaching to kernel threads
  ethtool: Report link-down while interface is down

  The following patches from 2.6.32.63 were not applied as they were
  already present in the Lucid kernel:

  futex: Make lookup_pi_state more robust
  futex: Always cleanup owner tid in unlock_pi
  futex: Validate atomic acquisition in futex_lock_pi_atomic()
  futex-prevent-requeue-pi-on-same-futex.patch futex: Forbid uaddr == uaddr2 in futex_requeue(..., requeue_pi=1)

  The following patch from 2.6.32.63 was dropped as one of futex patches
  in Lucid seem to implement a slightly different security fix that
  prevents it from being applied:

  futex: Add another early deadlock detection check
