All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing patches will not be replaced.

Commit 2a037f310bab ("MIPS: VDSO: Fix build error") tries to fix a build error seen with binutils 2.24 and earlier. However, the fix does not work, and again results in the already known build errors if the kernel is built with an earlier version of binutils.
