Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

3.13.11.7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net>

commit 53b884ac3745353de220d92ef792515c3ae692f0 upstream.

This commit in Linux 3.6:

    commit c767a54ba0657e52e6edaa97cbe0b0a8bf1c1655
    Author: Joe Perches [off-list ref]
    Date:   Mon May 21 19:50:07 2012 -0700

        x86/debug: Add KERN_<LEVEL> to bare printks, convert printks to pr_<level>

caused warn_bad_vsyscall to output garbage in the middle of the
line.  Revert the bad part of it.

The printk in question isn't actually bare; the level is "%s".

The bug this fixes is purely cosmetic; backports are optional.
