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 4.4.79 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 4.4.79 stable release shall be applied: * disable new gcc-7.1.1 warnings for now * ir-core: fix gcc-7 warning on bool arithmetic * s5p-jpeg: don't return a random width/height * thermal: cpu_cooling: Avoid accessing potentially freed structures * ath9k: fix tx99 use after free * ath9k: fix tx99 bus error * NFC: fix broken device allocation * NFC: nfcmrvl_uart: add missing tty-device sanity check * NFC: nfcmrvl: do not use device-managed resources * NFC: nfcmrvl: use nfc-device for firmware download * NFC: nfcmrvl: fix firmware-management initialisation * nfc: Ensure presence of required attributes in the activate_target handler * nfc: Fix the sockaddr length sanitization in llcp_sock_connect * NFC: Add sockaddr length checks before accessing sa_family in bind handlers * perf intel-pt: Move decoder error setting into one condition * perf intel-pt: Improve sample timestamp * perf intel-pt: Fix missing stack clear * perf intel-pt: Ensure IP is zero when state is INTEL_PT_STATE_NO_IP * perf intel-pt: Clear FUP flag on error * Bluetooth: use constant time memory comparison for secret values * wlcore: fix 64K page support * ASoC: compress: Derive substream from stream based on direction * PM / Domains: Fix unsafe iteration over modified list of device links * PM / Domains: Fix unsafe iteration over modified list of domain providers * scsi: ses: do not add a device to an enclosure if enclosure_add_links() fails. * iscsi-target: Add login_keys_workaround attribute for non RFC initiators * powerpc/64: Fix atomic64_inc_not_zero() to return an int * powerpc: Fix emulation of mcrf in emulate_step() * powerpc: Fix emulation of mfocrf in emulate_step() * powerpc/asm: Mark cr0 as clobbered in mftb() * af_key: Fix sadb_x_ipsecrequest parsing * PCI/PM: Restore the status of PCI devices across hibernation * ipvs: SNAT packet replies only for NATed connections * xhci: fix 20000ms port resume timeout * xhci: Fix NULL pointer dereference when cleaning up streams for removed host * usb: storage: return on error to avoid a null pointer dereference * USB: cdc-acm: add device-id for quirky printer * usb: renesas_usbhs: fix usbhsc_resume() for !USBHSF_RUNTIME_PWCTRL * usb: renesas_usbhs: gadget: disable all eps when the driver stops * md: don't use flush_signals in userspace processes * x86/xen: allow userspace access during hypercalls * cx88: Fix regression in initial video standard setting * Raid5 should update rdev->sectors after reshape * s390/syscalls: Fix out of bounds arguments access * drm/amd/amdgpu: Return error if initiating read out of range on vram * drm/radeon/ci: disable mclk switching for high refresh rates (v2) * drm/radeon: Fix eDP for single-display iMac10,1 (v2) * ipmi: use rcu lock around call to intf->handlers->sender() * ipmi:ssif: Add missing unlock in error branch * f2fs: Don't clear SGID when inheriting ACLs * vfio: Fix group release deadlock * vfio: New external user group/file match * ftrace: Fix uninitialized variable in match_records() * MIPS: Fix mips_atomic_set() retry condition * MIPS: Fix mips_atomic_set() with EVA * MIPS: Negate error syscall return in trace * x86/acpi: Prevent out of bound access caused by broken ACPI tables * x86/ioapic: Pass the correct data to unmask_ioapic_irq() * MIPS: Fix MIPS I ISA /proc/cpuinfo reporting * MIPS: Save static registers before sysmips * MIPS: Actually decode JALX in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn' * MIPS: Fix unaligned PC interpretation in `compute_return_epc' * MIPS: math-emu: Prevent wrong ISA mode instruction emulation * MIPS: Send SIGILL for BPOSGE32 in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn' * MIPS: Rename `sigill_r6' to `sigill_r2r6' in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn' * MIPS: Send SIGILL for linked branches in `__compute_return_epc_for_insn' * MIPS: Fix a typo: s/preset/present/ in r2-to-r6 emulation error message * Input: i8042 -
