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 Linus' tree or in a minimally
backported form of that patch. The v3.8.9 upstream stable
patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
kernel as well.
TEST CASE: TBD
The following patches are in the v3.8.9 stable release:
powerpc: add a missing label in resume_kernel
kvm/powerpc/e500mc: fix tlb invalidation on cpu migration
ARM: Do 15e0d9e37c (ARM: pm: let platforms select cpu_suspend support) properly
kthread: Prevent unpark race which puts threads on the wrong cpu
hrtimer: Don't reinitialize a cpu_base lock on CPU_UP
can: mcp251x: add missing IRQF_ONESHOT to request_
can: sja1000: fix handling on dt properties on little endian systems
hugetlbfs: stop setting VM_DONTDUMP in initializing vma(VM_HUGETLB)
hugetlbfs: add swap entry check in follow_
fs/binfmt_elf.c: fix hugetlb memory check in vma_dump_size()
kernel/signal.c: stop info leak via the tkill and the tgkill syscalls
hfsplus: fix potential overflow in hfsplus_
md: raid1,10: Handle REQ_WRITE_SAME flag in write bios
KVM: Allow cross page reads and writes from cached translations.
ARM: i.MX35: enable MAX clock

perf: Treat attr.config as u64 in perf_swevent_init()
perf/x86: Fix offcore_rsp valid mask for SNB/IVB
userns: Don't let unprivileged users trick privileged users into setting the id_map
userns: Check uid_map's opener's fsuid, not the current fsuid
userns: Changing any namespace id mappings should require privileges
vm: add vm_iomap_memory() helper function
vm: convert snd_pcm_
vm: convert fb_mmap to vm_iomap_memory() helper
vm: convert HPET mmap to vm_iomap_memory() helper
