** Description changed:
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 4.4.125 upstream
stable 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 4.4.125 stable release shall be
applied:
- <to-be-filled-in>
+ * Linux 4.4.125
+ * bpf, x64: increase number of passes
+ * bpf: skip unnecessary capability check
+ * kbuild: disable clang's default use of -fmerge-all-constants
+ * staging: lustre: ptlrpc: kfree used instead of kvfree
+ * perf/x86/intel: Don't accidentally clear high bits in bdw_limit_period()
+ * x86/entry/64: Don't use IST entry for #BP stack
+ * x86/boot/64: Verify alignment of the LOAD segment
+ * x86/build/64: Force the linker to use 2MB page size

+ * can: cc770: Fix queue stall & dropped RTR reply
+ * can: cc770: Fix stalls on rt-linux, remove redundant IRQ ack
+ * staging: ncpfs: memory corruption in ncp_read_kernel()
+ * mtd: nand: fsl_ifc: Fix nand waitfunc return value
+ * tracing: probeevent: Fix to support minus offset from symbol
