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 4.13.13 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 4.13.13 stable release shall be applied:
* netfilter: nat: Revert "netfilter: nat: convert nat bysrc hash to rhashtable"
* netfilter: nft_set_hash: disable fast_ops for 2-len keys
* workqueue: Fix NULL pointer dereference
* crypto: ccm - preserve the IV buffer
* crypto: x86/sha1-mb - fix panic due to unaligned access
* crypto: x86/sha256-mb - fix panic due to unaligned access
* KEYS: fix NULL pointer dereference during ASN.1 parsing [ver #2]
* ACPI / PM: Blacklist Low Power S0 Idle _DSM for Dell XPS13 9360
* ARM: 8720/1: ensure dump_instr() checks addr_limit
* ALSA: timer: Limit max instances per timer
* ALSA: usb-audio: support new Amanero Combo384 firmware version
* ALSA: hda - fix headset mic problem for Dell machines with alc274
* ALSA: seq: Fix OSS sysex delivery in OSS emulation
* ALSA: seq: Avoid invalid lockdep class warning
* MIPS: Fix CM region target definitions
* MIPS: BMIPS: Fix missing cbr address
* MIPS: AR7: Defer registration of GPIO
* MIPS: AR7: Ensure that serial ports are properly set up
* KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Fix exclusion between HPT resizing and other HPT updates
* Input: elan_i2c - add ELAN060C to the ACPI table
* rbd: use GFP_NOIO for parent stat and data requests
* drm/vmwgfx: Fix Ubuntu 17.10 Wayland black screen issue
* Revert "x86: CPU: Fix up "cpu MHz" in /proc/cpuinfo"
* can: sun4i: handle overrun in RX FIFO
* can: peak: Add support for new PCIe/M2 CAN FD interfaces
* can: ifi: Fix transmitter delay calculation
* can: c_can: don't indicate triple sampling support for D_CAN
* x86/debug: Handle warnings before the notifier chain, to fix KGDB crash
* x86/smpboot: Make optimization of delay calibration work correctly
* x86/oprofile/ppro: Do not use __this_cpu*() in preemptible context
* Linux 4.13.13

The following patches were skipped because they were already applied for bug #1717431 "[Bug] Thunderbolt-
- ACPICA: Dispatch active GPEs at init time
- ACPICA: Make it possible to enable runtime GPEs earlier
- ACPI / scan: Enable GPEs before scanning the namespace
The following patch had to be manually merged because we carry a SAUCE patch touching tsc.c (UBUNTU: SAUCE: Clear Linux: smpboot: reuse timer calibration):
- x86/smpboot: Make optimization of delay calibration work correctly
An additional pair of eyes verifying the above change was done right would be appreciated.
