Note, we skip 4.14.45 because 4.14.46 only has 3 patches
in it which unbreak 'perf' compilation.

This is useful for some baremetal configs, such as using
USB sticks on a RPi3. I enabled it for x86_64 as well
to keep the differences smaller.

Enable the Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA) for 4.14.x
and 4.15.x kernels. This pretty much uses the defaults except we
also enable INTEGRITY_ASYMMETRIC_KEYS and IMA_READ_POLICY. The
latter may be useful for debugging.
For s390x we also needed to enable TPM support.

Also remove the 4.4 patch which should have been removed by
231cead2cc ("kernel: Update to 4.15.4/4.14.20/4.9.82/4.4.116")
Signed-off-by: Rolf Neugebauer <rolf.neugebauer@docker.com>
The 4.14.20 update has Meltdown/Spectre fixes for arm64
The 4.4.116 update incorporates the proper fix for the
div by zero crash in the firmware loader, so the patch
with the hackish workaround was dropped.

Drop the hack for the microcode division by 0 on GCP as
a proper fix is in upstream as:

These kernels have significant changes/addition for Spectre
mitigation as well as the usual other set of fixes.

This option is not enabled by default, but disables the
BPF interpreter which can be used to inject speculative
execution into the kernel. Enabled it as it seems
like a good security measure.

The 4.14 and 4.9 kernels have a significant number of
fixes to eBPF and also a fix for kernel level sockets
and namespace removals, ie fixes some aspects of

- Enable RETPOLINE by default. Note, however, this will
only be used if the compiler supports it.
- Enable sysfs interface for vulnerabilities

The 4.4.14 has a number of important fixes/additions:
- New support for retpolines (enabled but requires newer gcc
to take advantage of). This provides mitigation for Spectre
style attacks.
- Various KPTI fixes including fixes for EFI booting
- More eBPF fixes around out-of-bounds and overflow of
maps. These were used for variant 1 of CVE-2017-5753.
- Several KVM related to CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5715,
CVE-2017-17741.
- New sysfs interface listing vulnerabilities:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities
The 4.9.77 kernel also has seems to have most/all of the above
back-ported.
See https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/744287/1fc3c18173f732e7/
for more details on the Spectre mitigation.

This looks like there are a couple of minor fixes to the
recent KPTI changes but nothing major...
