I'd in principle love us to push everything back to 4.4, but there are a
few reasons (*) why that's not happening shortly.
Anyway, to point out explicitly what's really needed for those folks
running 4.4-stable and relying on PTI providing The Real Thing(TM), it's
either a 4.4-stable port of
http://kernel.suse.com/cgit/kernel-source/plain/patches.suse/x86-entry-64-use-a-per-cpu-trampoline-stack.patch?id=3428a77b02b1ba03e45d8fc352ec350429f57fc7
or making THREADINFO_GFP imply __GFP_ZERO.
(*) IBRS is not upstream, we historically have had very different x86
codebase compared to either 4.4, 4.4-stable or current Linus' tree,
and there are simply too many things happening right now to give this
high enough priority, sadly. We're not fully-dependent downstream
consumer of -stable any more, so this is one of the expected outcomes,
unfortunately; we don't immediately benefit from pushing our
downstream changes to stable, as we have to carry those over forward
ourselves anyway.
