The whole patch series can be found in one patch at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/stable-review/patch-4.9.96-rc1.... 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.

Regression detected on arm64 devices Hikey and Juno.
Here is the list of bad commit patches to be reverted. git bisect found first bad commit as "3" but reverting 3 patch failed. so i have to revert all four patches and boot test and the boot PASS on hikey.
Theodore Ts'o tytso@mit.edu random: add new ioctl RNDRESEEDCRNG 2) Theodore Ts'o tytso@mit.edu random: crng_reseed() should lock the crng instance that it is modifying 3) Theodore Ts'o tytso@mit.edu random: set up the NUMA crng instances after the CRNG is fully initialized
This is the one I need to revert anyway.
Let me see if I can just drop that one and do a -rc3. Give me a few hours...
