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 4.4.64 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 4.4.64 stable release shall be applied:
* KEYS: Disallow keyrings beginning with '.' to be joined as session keyrings
* KEYS: Change the name of the dead type to ".dead" to prevent user access
* KEYS: fix keyctl_
* tracing: Allocate the snapshot buffer before enabling probe
* ring-buffer: Have ring_buffer_
* cifs: Do not send echoes before Negotiate is complete
* CIFS: remove bad_network_name flag
* s390/mm: fix CMMA vs KSM vs others
* VSOCK: Detach QP check should filter out non matching QPs.
* Input: elantech - add Fujitsu Lifebook E547 to force crc_enabled
* ACPI / power: Avoid maybe-uninitialized warning
* mmc: sdhci-esdhc-imx: increase the pad I/O drive strength for DDR50 card
* mac80211: reject ToDS broadcast data frames
* ubi/upd: Always flush after prepared for an update
* powerpc/kprobe: Fix oops when kprobed on 'stdu' instruction
* x86/mce/AMD: Give a name to MCA bank 3 when accessed with legacy MSRs
* kvm: arm/arm64: Fix locking for kvm_free_stage2_pgd
* x86, pmem: fix broken __copy_user_nocache cache-bypass assumptions
* block: fix del_gendisk() vs blkdev_ioctl crash
* tipc: fix crash during node removal
* Linux 4.4.64
