-------------------------
NOTE:
There are still a lot of pending stable patches in the queue, well
over 400 of them to be specific, so some of your favorite/pet patches
might not be included in these releases. Please be patient as I dig
out from this backlog over the next few weeks. If there are specific
patches that you just _must_ have included in a stable release soon,
please let me know.
-------------------------

This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 4.4.1 release.
There are 67 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 Fri Jan 29 18:08:16 UTC 2016.
Anything received after that time might be too late.

Build results:
total: 145 pass: 145 fail: 0

Qemu test results:
total: 96 pass: 94 fail: 2
Failed tests:
arm64:smp:defconfig
arm64:nosmp:defconfig

arm64 qemu test failures are the same as in v4.1.y, v4.3.y, and mainline.


Fix is now upstream, in case you want to apply it to v4.1 / v4.3 / v4.4.
Commit f436b2ac90a0 ("arm64: kernel: fix architected PMU registers
unconditional access").

I've applied it to 4.3 and 4.4, but it doesn't apply to 4.1 at all :(


Turns out f436b2ac90a0 wasn't needed in 4.1 after all since you did not
apply 60792ad349f3 ("arm64: kernel: enforce pmuserenr_el0 initialization
and restore"). All (my) final builds and qemu tests for 4.1.17, 4.3.5,
and 4.4.1 are good.

Thanks,
Guenter
