The whole patch series can be found in one patch at: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/stable-review/patch-4.16.5-rc1.... or in the git tree and branch at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git linux-4.16.y and the diffstat can be found below.
Results from Linaro’s test farm. No regressions on arm64, arm and x86_64.
We did find a regression in 4.16.4 that is dragonboard-410c specific that we missed the first time around. Discovered using kselftest/printf.sh:
/sbin/modprobe test_printf [ 22.725551] test_printf: hashing plain 'p' has unexpected format [ 22.726031] test_printf: failed 1 out of 236 tests modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'test_printf': Invalid argumentWe'll bisect it and find the issue but since it was already released, I assume you won't want to hold up 4.16.5 for it.
As it's an old issue, no, I'll wait for you all to find it and not hold this release up :)
thanks,
