The patch titled
     Subject: prctl: return -EFAULT on auxv fetching failure
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     prctl-pr_set_mm-introduce-pr_set_mm_map-operation-v4-fix-2.patch

This patch was dropped because it was folded into prctl-pr_set_mm-introduce-pr_set_mm_map-operation-v3.patch

------------------------------------------------------
From: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com>
Subject: prctl: return -EFAULT on auxv fetching failure

Dan reported that returning bytes left if copy_from_user failed
is a bad option, return traditional -EFAULT instead.
