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 following upstream
stable patches should be included in the Ubuntu kernel:
v5.4.252 upstream stable release
from git://git.
ia64/cpu: Switch to arch_cpu_
m68k/cpu: Switch to arch_cpu_
mips/cpu: Switch to arch_cpu_
sh/cpu: Switch to arch_cpu_
x86/cpufeatures: Add SEV-ES CPU feature
x86/cpu: Add VM page flush MSR availablility as a CPUID feature
x86/cpufeatures: Assign dedicated feature word for CPUID_0x8000001
tools headers cpufeatures: Sync with the kernel sources
x86/cpu, kvm: Add support for CPUID_80000021_EAX
xen/netback: Fix buffer overrun triggered by unusual packet
Linux 5.4.252
UBUNTU: Upstream stable to v5.4.252
