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 4.13.9 upstream stable
patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
kernel as well.
TEST CASE: TBD
The following patches from the 4.13.9 stable release shall be applied:
* perf pmu: Unbreak perf record for arm/arm64 with events with explicit PMU
* mm: page_vma_mapped: ensure pmd is loaded with READ_ONCE outside of lock
* HID: hid-elecom: extend to fix descriptor for HUGE trackball
* Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix rescind handling issues
* Drivers: hv: vmbus: Fix bugs in rescind handling
* vmbus: simplify hv_ringbuffer_read
* vmbus: refactor hv_signal_on_read
* vmbus: eliminate duplicate cached index
* vmbus: more host signalling avoidance
* Linux 4.13.9
