Public bug reported: SRU Justification
Impact: The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or a minimally backported form of that patch. The v4.4.6 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well. git://git.kernel.org/ TEST CASE: TBD The following patches from the v4.4.6 stable release shall be applied: arm64: account for sparsemem section alignment when choosing vmemmap offset ARM: mvebu: fix overlap of Crypto SRAM with PCIe memory window ARM: dts: dra7: do not gate cpsw clock due to errata i877 ARM: OMAP2+: hwmod: Introduce ti,no-idle dt property PCI: Allow a NULL "parent" pointer in pci_bus_assign_domain_nr() kvm: cap halt polling at exactly halt_poll_ns KVM: VMX: disable PEBS before a guest entry KVM: s390: correct fprs on SIGP (STOP AND) STORE STATUS KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Sanitize special-purpose register values on guest exit KVM: MMU: fix ept=0/pte.u=1/pte.w=0/CR0.WP=0/CR4.SMEP=1/EFER.NX=0 combo KVM: MMU: fix reserved bit check for ept=0/CR0.WP=0/CR4.SMEP=1/EFER.NX=0 s390/dasd: fix diag 0x250 inline assembly tracing: Fix check for cpu online when event is disabled dmaengine: at_xdmac: fix residue computation jffs2: reduce the breakage on recovery from halfway failed rename() ncpfs: fix a braino in OOM handling in ncp_fill_cache() ASoC: dapm: Fix ctl value accesses in a wrong type ASoC: samsung: Use IRQ safe spin lock calls ASoC: wm8994: Fix enum ctl accesses in a wrong type ASoC: wm8958: Fix enum ctl accesses in a wrong type ovl: ignore lower entries when checking purity of non-directory entries ovl: fix working on distributed fs as lower layer wext: fix message delay/ordering cfg80211/wext: fix message ordering can: gs_usb: fixed disconnect bug by removing erroneous use of kfree() iwlwifi: mvm: inc pending frames counter also when txing non-sta mac80211: minstrel: Change expected throughput unit back to Kbps mac80211: fix use of uninitialised values in RX aggregation mac80211: minstrel_ht: set default tx aggregation timeout to 0 mac80211: minstrel_ht: fix a logic error in RTS/CTS handling mac80211: check PN correctly for GCMP-encrypted fragmented MPDUs mac80211: Fix Public Action frame RX in AP mode gpu: ipu-v3: Do not bail out on missing optional port nodes drm/amdgpu: Fix error handling in amdgpu_flip_work_func. drm/radeon: Fix error handling in radeon_flip_work_func.
