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 v4.4.12 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 v4.4.12 stable release shall be applied: Btrfs: don't use src fd for printk perf/x86/intel/pt: Generate PMI in the STOP region as well perf/core: Fix perf_event_open() vs. execve() race perf test: Fix build of BPF and LLVM on older glibc libraries ext4: iterate over buffer heads correctly in move_extent_per_page() arm64: Fix typo in the pmdp_huge_get_and_clear() definition arm64: Ensure pmd_present() returns false after pmd_mknotpresent() arm64: Implement ptep_set_access_flags() for hardware AF/DBM arm64: Implement pmdp_set_access_flags() for hardware AF/DBM arm64: cpuinfo: Missing NULL terminator in compat_hwcap_str arm/arm64: KVM: Enforce Break-Before-Make on Stage-2 page tables kvm: arm64: Fix EC field in inject_abt64 remove directory incorrectly tries to set delete on close on non-empty directories fs/cifs: correctly to anonymous authentication via NTLMSSP fs/cifs: correctly to anonymous authentication for the LANMAN authentication fs/cifs: correctly to anonymous authentication for the NTLM(v1) authentication fs/cifs: correctly to anonymous authentication for the NTLM(v2) authentication asix: Fix offset calculation in asix_rx_fixup() causing slow transmissions ring-buffer: Use long for nr_pages to avoid overflow failures ring-buffer: Prevent overflow of size in ring_buffer_resize() crypto: caam -
