Bug description:
== SRU Justification ==
This bug has been reported in multiple bugs and affects Trusty,
Xenial and Bionic. All releases need different backports, so T and X
will be sent in separate SRU requests.
Due to this bug in the original L1TF patch set, L1TF mitigation not
effective in certain CPU and installed RAM configurations.
== Fixes ==
9df9516940a6 ("x86/speculation/l1tf: Fix overflow in l1tf_pfn_limit() on
32bit")
b0a182f87568 ("x86/speculation/l1tf: Fix off-by-one error when warning that
system has too much RAM")
cc51e5428ea5 ("x86/speculation/l1tf: Increase l1tf memory limit for Nehalem+")
== Regression Potential ==
Low. These are security fixes and have all been cc'd to upstream
stable, so they have had additional upstream review.
== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with these patches and tested by the original bug
reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
