Title:
Yakkety update to 4.8.1 stable release
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Yakkety:
Fix Released
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 4.8.1 upstream stable
patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu
kernel as well.
git://git.kernel.org/
TEST CASE: TBD
The following patches from the 4.8.1 stable release shall be
applied:
arm64: debug: avoid resetting stepping state machine when TIF_SINGLESTEP
Using BUG_ON() as an assert() is _never_ acceptable
usb: misc: legousbtower: Fix NULL pointer deference
Staging: fbtft: Fix bug in fbtft-core
