[Greg KH]

2.6.22-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.

From: Roland McGrath <roland@xxxxxxxxxx>

Handle bogus %cs selector in single-step instruction decoding

mainline: 29eb51101c02df517ca64ec472d7501127ad1da8

The code for LDT segment selectors was not robust in the face of a bogus
selector set in %cs via ptrace before the single-step was done.
