I'm announcing the release of the 4.14.46 kernel.
This release fixes a problem where perf would not build properly in the
4.14.45 kernel release. If you do not use perf, there is no need to
upgrade at this time.
Many thanks to Pavlos Parissis for finding the problem so quickly and
reporting it.
The updated 4.14.y git tree can be found at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-4.14.y
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary
thanks,
greg k-h

Commit 944e0fc51a89c9827b98813d65dc083274777c7f ("x86/amd: don't set
X86_BUG_SYSRET_SS_ATTRS when running under Xen") breaks Xen pv-domains
on AMD processors, as a prerequisite patch from upstream wasn't added
to 4.9.
Fix that by adding the prerequisite setting of X86_FEATURE_XENPV to the
Xen pv early boot path.

The changes are to make sure to check the operation status.
Actually the flash write and erase error behavior is caused on our products.
The flash is Macronix flash device MX29GL512FHT2I-11G used by our products.
The patch series was separated for changes of flash write and erase.
Since those were not depended each other at the time.
But by additional changes the changes are related more as same way currently.
So combine patch series for the flash write and erase changes as v6.

2.16.1
Clear the PCR (Processor Compatibility Register) on boot to ensure we
are not running in a compatibility mode.
We've seen this cause problems when a crash (and kdump) occurs while
running compat mode guests. The kdump kernel then runs with the PCR
set and causes problems. The symptom in the kdump kernel (also seen in
petitboot after fast-reboot) is early userspace programs taking
sigills on newer instructions (seen in libc).

Greg, This is a backport for v4.9 only since the original patch didn't
apply.
Commit faf37c44a105f3608115785f17cbbf3500f8bc71 upstream.

2.17.0
Hi Greg,
please queue:
1. 8a331f4a0863 ("x86/mce/AMD: Carve out SMCA get_block_address() code")
2. 78ce241099bb ("x86/MCE/AMD: Cache SMCA MISC block addresses")
in that order to
4.14
4.16
as it fixes an uninit mem read bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199851
Patches apply cleanly and build fine.
Thx.
