Please note that the following commits from this upstream Linux stable update were dropped in favor of the UBUNTU SAUCE equivalents:
* KVM: Introduce kvm_get_arch_capabilities() * KVM: x86: Emulate MSR_IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES on AMD hosts * kvm: x86: IA32_ARCH_CAPABILITIES is always supported * KVM: x86: use Intel speculation bugs and features as derived in generic x86 code * x86/msr: Add the IA32_TSX_CTRL MSR * x86/cpu: Add a helper function x86_read_arch_cap_msr() * x86/cpu: Add a "tsx=" cmdline option with TSX disabled by default * x86/speculation/taa: Add mitigation for TSX Async Abort * x86/speculation/taa: Add sysfs reporting for TSX Async Abort * kvm/x86: Export MDS_NO=0 to guests when TSX is enabled * x86/tsx: Add "auto" option to the tsx= cmdline parameter * x86/speculation/taa: Add documentation for TSX Async Abort * x86/tsx: Add config options to set tsx=on|off|auto * x86/bugs: Add ITLB_MULTIHIT bug infrastructure -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853177 Title: Xenial update: 4.4.202 upstream stable release Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux source package in Xenial: In Progress Bug description: 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 following upstream stable patches should be included in the Ubuntu kernel: * kvm: mmu: Don't read PDPTEs when paging is not enabled * MIPS: BCM63XX: fix switch core reset on BCM6368 * powerpc/Makefile: Use cflags-y/aflags-y for setting endian options * powerpc: Fix compiling a BE kernel with a powerpc64le toolchain * powerpc/boot: Request no dynamic linker for boot wrapper * x86/speculation/taa: Fix printing of TAA_MSG_SMT on IBRS_ALL CPUs * Linux 4.4.202 * UBUNTU: upstream stable to v4.4.202 4.4.202 upstream stable release from git://git.kernel.org/ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1853177/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
