  * linux-euclid: 4.4.0-9025.27 -proposed tracker (LP: #1749095)

  * BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000009
    (LP: #1748671)
    - SAUCE: net: ipv4: fix for a race condition in raw_sendmsg -- fix backport

  * CVE-2017-5715 (Spectre v2 Intel)
    - SAUCE: drop lingering gmb() macro
    - x86/feature: Enable the x86 feature to control Speculation
    - x86/feature: Report presence of IBPB and IBRS control
    - x86/enter: MACROS to set/clear IBRS and set IBPB
    - x86/enter: Use IBRS on syscall and interrupts
    - x86/idle: Disable IBRS entering idle and enable it on wakeup
    - x86/idle: Disable IBRS when offlining cpu and re-enable on wakeup
    - x86/mm: Set IBPB upon context switch
    - x86/mm: Only set IBPB when the new thread cannot ptrace current thread
    - x86/kvm: add MSR_IA32_SPEC_CTRL and MSR_IA32_PRED_CMD to kvm
    - x86/kvm: Set IBPB when switching VM
    - x86/kvm: Toggle IBRS on VM entry and exit
    - x86/spec_ctrl: Add sysctl knobs to enable/disable SPEC_CTRL feature
    - x86/spec_ctrl: Add lock to serialize changes to ibrs and ibpb control
    - x86/cpu/amd, kvm: Satisfy guest kernel reads of IC_CFG MSR
    - x86/cpu/AMD: Add speculative control support for AMD
    - x86/microcode: Extend post microcode reload to support IBPB feature
    - KVM: SVM: Do not intercept new speculative control MSRs
