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 v4.4.57 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 v4.4.57 stable release shall be
applied:
give up on gcc ilog2() constant optimizations
perf/core: Fix event inheritance on fork()
cpufreq: Fix and clean up show_cpuinfo_cur_freq()
powerpc/boot: Fix zImage TOC alignment
md/raid1/10: fix potential deadlock
target/pscsi: Fix TYPE_TAPE + TYPE_MEDIMUM_CHANGER export
scsi: lpfc: Add shutdown method for kexec
scsi: libiscsi: add lock around task lists to fix list corruption regression
target: Fix VERIFY_16 handling in sbc_parse_cdb
isdn/gigaset: fix NULL-deref at probe
gfs2: Avoid alignment hole in struct lm_lockname
percpu: acquire pcpu_lock when updating pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages
ext4: fix fencepost in s_first_meta_bg validation
