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 4.4.84 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 4.4.84 stable release shall be applied:
* audit: Fix use after free in audit_remove_
* parisc: pci memory bar assignment fails with 64bit kernels on dino/cujo
* crypto: x86/sha1 - Fix reads beyond the number of blocks passed
* Input: elan_i2c - add ELAN0608 to the ACPI table
* Input: elan_i2c - Add antoher Lenovo ACPI ID for upcoming Lenovo NB
* ALSA: seq: 2nd attempt at fixing race creating a queue
* ALSA: usb-audio: Apply sample rate quirk to Sennheiser headset
* ALSA: usb-audio: Add mute TLV for playback volumes on C-Media devices
* mm/mempolicy: fix use after free when calling get_mempolicy
* mm: revert x86_64 and arm64 ELF_ET_DYN_BASE base changes
* xen: fix bio vec merging
* x86/asm/64: Clear AC on NMI entries
* irqchip/atmel-aic: Fix unbalanced of_node_put() in aic_common_
* irqchip/atmel-aic: Fix unbalanced refcount in aic_common_
* Sanitize 'move_pages()' permission checks

Skipped "netfilter: nf_ct_ext: fix possible panic after nf_ct_extend_ unregister" because it was already applied for bug #1713729 Creating conntrack entry failure with kernel 4.4.0-89.
Adjusted file to patch of "perf/x86: Fix LBR related crashes on Intel Atom" to match changes introduced by bug #1559914 Disable multi-record PEBS on Merom. Patch did apply cleanly to new location.
