Bug Description

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 4.4.113 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 4.4.113 stable release shall be applied:
* gcov: disable for COMPILE_TEST
* scsi: sg: disable SET_FORCE_LOW_DMA
* futex: Prevent overflow by strengthen input validation
* ALSA: pcm: Remove yet superfluous WARN_ON()
* ALSA: hda - Apply headphone noise quirk for another Dell XPS 13 variant
* ALSA: hda - Apply the existing quirk to iMac 14,1
* af_key: fix buffer overread in verify_address_len()
* af_key: fix buffer overread in parse_exthdrs()
* scsi: hpsa: fix volume offline state
* sched/deadline: Zero out positive runtime after throttling constrained tasks
* pipe: avoid round_pipe_size() nr_pages overflow on 32-bit
* x86/apic/vector: Fix off by one in error path
* Input: 88pm860x-ts - fix child-node lookup
* Input: twl6040-vibra - fix DT node memory management
* Input: twl6040-vibra - fix child-node lookup
* Input: twl4030-vibra - fix sibling-node lookup
* tracing: Fix converting enum's from the map in trace_event_eval_update()
* phy: work around 'phys' references to usb-nop-xceiv devices
* ARM: dts: kirkwood: fix pin-muxing of MPP7 on OpenBlocks A7
* can: peak: fix potential bug in packet fragmentation
* dm btree: fix serious bug in btree_split_beneath()
* dm thin metadata: THIN_MAX_CONCURRENT_LOCKS should be 6
* arm64: KVM: Fix SMCCC handling of unimplemented SMC/HVC calls
* kbuild: modversions for EXPORT_SYMBOL() for asm
* x86/pti: Document fix wrong index
* MIPS: AR7: ensure the port type's FCR value is used
* Linux 4.4.113

After some discussion it has been decided to add the following changes to this set:
* Revert "x86/cpu/AMD: Make the LFENCE instruction serialized"
* x86/cpu/AMD: Make LFENCE a serializing instruction
* x86/cpu/AMD: Use LFENCE_RDTSC in preference to MFENCE_RDTSC

Those have been marked with "CVE-2017-5753 (Spectre v1 Intel -> upstream)" so they will show up in a separate section in the changelog as done for this stable update and replacing the Intel patches by upstream counterparts.
