The whole patch series can be found in one patch at: kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/stable-review/patch-4.9.72-rc1.gz or in the git tree and branch at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git linux-4.9.y and the diffstat can be found below.
There is now a -rc2 out for the recent BPF patches that we need: kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/stable-review/patch-4.9.72-rc2.gz
I didn't try a full rebuild, but there is still (at least) one build failure. sparc:allmodconfig fails to build with
ERROR: "vac_cache_size" [drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rdma_rxe.ko] undefined!
due to 663615c57ac1 ("infiniband: Fix alignment of mmap cookies to support VIPT caching"). This patch also requires 9d262d95114cf ("sparc32: Export vac_cache_size to fix build error").
