This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 4.14.9 release.
There are 159 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response
to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please
let me know.

Responses should be made by Sun Dec 24 08:45:36 UTC 2017.
Anything received after that time might be too late.

The whole patch series can be found in one patch at:
kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/stable-review/patch-4.14.9-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-4.14.y
and the diffstat can be found below.

Ok, that blew up hard on arm64, there's now a -rc2 out with a fix for
that. Hopefully :)

kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/stable-review/patch-4.14.9-rc2.gz

And because it's just been one of those weeks, there's now a -rc3 out
due to a bunch of important BPF patches.


I'll stop now to give you all a chance to test...


I can't keep up with this. I'll let my builders try again tonight
and report tomorrow.

This is what I have so far.

h8300 builds are broken.

include/linux/compiler.h:344:2: error:
implicit declaration of function âsmp_read_barrier_dependsâ

Seen when building arch/h8300/kernel/asm-offsets.c.

sparc32 builds are broken with the same error, in this case when building
init/do_mounts_initrd.c.

Ok, I think I found the problem for this, and have added a fix to the
tree. It builds here for x86 for me, I'll watch your builders and see
how it goes...


This is now fixed. I'll send a complete build report after all builds are
complete.
