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 4.4.142 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 4.4.142 stable release shall be applied:
* Kbuild: fix # escaping in .cmd files for future Make
* perf tools: Move syscall number fallbacks from perf-sys.h to
tools/
* Linux 4.4.142

status: | In Progress → Fix Committed |
Skipped "x86/cpu: Probe CPUID leaf 6 even when cpuid_level == 6" because this is already correctly done in the Xenial tree.
