[2.6.9-ac1] "suid_dumpable" [security/commoncap.ko] undefined

[2.6.9-ac1] "suid_dumpable" [security/commoncap.ko] undefined

[Piotr Kaczuba]

Building the kernel reports this when building modules:

*** Warning: "suid_dumpable" [security/commoncap.ko] undefined!

The capability module fails then to load because it depends on  
commoncap. As a consequence bind cannot be run with the -u option to  
switch its user.

Looking at the ac patch I can see that it has changed "0" to  
"suid_dumpable" but the module obviously lacks the definition.

Please CC me as I'm not subscribed.

Thanks. Add

EXPORT_SYMBOL(suid_dumpable) to fs/exec.c and that should fix it. I'll
fix it for -ac3
