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 following upstream stable patches should be included in the Ubuntu kernel: v5.4.173 upstream stable release from git://git.kernel.org/ kbuild: Add $(KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS) to 'has_libelf' test devtmpfs regression fix: reconfigure on each mount orangefs: Fix the size of a memory allocation in orangefs_bufmap_alloc() perf: Protect perf_guest_cbs with RCU KVM: s390: Clarify SIGP orders versus STOP/RESTART media: uvcvideo: fix division by zero at stream start rtlwifi: rtl8192cu: Fix WARNING when calling local_irq_restore() with interrupts enabled firmware: qemu_fw_cfg: fix sysfs information leak firmware: qemu_fw_cfg: fix NULL-pointer deref on duplicate entries firmware: qemu_fw_cfg: fix kobject leak in probe error path KVM: x86: remove PMU FIXED_CTR3 from msrs_to_save_all ALSA: hda/realtek - Fix silent output on Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master after reboot from Windows mtd: fixup CFI on ixp4xx ARM: 9025/1: Kconfig: CPU_BIG_ENDIAN depends on !LD_IS_LLD Linux 5.4.173 UBUNTU: upstream stable to v5.4.173 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Invalid ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Medium Assignee: Kamal Mostafa (kamalmostafa) Status: In Progress ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: + SRU Justification - 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.
