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 v4.4.61 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 v4.4.61 stable release shall be applied: drm/vmwgfx: Type-check lookups of fence objects drm/vmwgfx: NULL pointer dereference in vmw_surface_define_ioctl() drm/vmwgfx: avoid calling vzalloc with a 0 size in vmw_get_cap_3d_ioctl() drm/ttm, drm/vmwgfx: Relax permission checking when opening surfaces drm/vmwgfx: Remove getparam error message drm/vmwgfx: fix integer overflow in vmw_surface_define_ioctl() sysfs: be careful of error returns from ops->show() staging: android: ashmem: lseek failed due to no FMODE_LSEEK. arm/arm64: KVM: Take mmap_sem in stage2_unmap_vm arm/arm64: KVM: Take mmap_sem in kvm_arch_prepare_memory_region iio: bmg160: reset chip when probing Reset TreeId to zero on SMB2 TREE_CONNECT ptrace: fix PTRACE_LISTEN race corrupting task->state ring-buffer: Fix return value check in test_ringbuffer() metag/usercopy: Drop unused macros metag/usercopy: Fix alignment error checking metag/usercopy: Add early abort to copy_to_user metag/usercopy: Zero rest of buffer from copy_from_user metag/usercopy: Set flags before ADDZ metag/usercopy: Fix src fixup in from user rapf loops metag/usercopy: Add missing fixups powerpc/mm: Add missing global TLB invalidate if cxl is active powerpc: Don't try to fix up misaligned load-with-reservation instructions nios2: reserve boot memory for device tree s390/decompressor: fix initrd corruption caused by bss clear s390/uaccess: get_user() should zero on failure (again) MIPS: Force o32 fp64 support on 32bit MIPS64r6 kernels MIPS: ralink: Fix typos in rt3883 pinctrl MIPS: End spinlocks with .insn MIPS: Lantiq: fix missing xbar kernel panic MIPS: Flush wrong invalid FTLB entry for huge page mm/mempolicy.c: fix error handling in set_mempolicy and mbind.
