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 4.4.75 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 4.4.75 stable release shall be applied:
* fs/exec.c: account for argv/envp pointers
* autofs: sanity check status reported with AUTOFS_
* lib/cmdline.c: fix get_options() overflow while parsing ranges
* KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Preserve userspace HTM state properly
* CIFS: Improve readdir verbosity
* HID: Add quirk for Dell PIXART OEM mouse
* signal: Only reschedule timers on signals timers have sent
* powerpc/kprobes: Pause function_graph tracing during jprobes handling
* Input: i8042 - add Fujitsu Lifebook AH544 to notimeout list
* time: Fix clock->read(clock) race around clocksource changes
* target: Fix kref->refcount underflow in transport_
* iscsi-target: Reject immediate data underflow larger than SCSI transfer
length
* drm/radeon: add a PX quirk for another K53TK variant
* drm/radeon: add a quirk for Toshiba Satellite L20-183
* drm/amdgpu/atom: fix ps allocation size for EnableDispPower
* drm/amdgpu: adjust default display clock
* USB: usbip: fix nonconforming hub descriptor
* rxrpc: Fix several cases where a padded len isn't checked in ticket decode
* of: Add check to of_scan_flat_dt() before accessing initial_boot_params
* mtd: spi-nor: fix spansion quad enable
* powerpc/slb: Force a full SLB flush when we insert for a bad EA
* usb: gadget: f_fs: avoid out of bounds access on comp_desc
* net: phy: Initialize mdio clock at probe function
* net: phy: fix marvell phy status reading
* Linux 4.4.75
