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:

This adds a patch to avoid a division by zero panic for 4.4.x
and 4.9.x kernels on single vCPU machine types on Google Cloud.
4.14.x and 4.15.x kernels seem to work fine.

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

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...

This contains the fixes to the eBPF verifier which allowed
privilege escalation in 4.9 and 4.14 kernels.

Note: There were more conflicts in applying the
vmbus patches to 4.13. For now I've just skipped the
conflicting patches so the end-result may be that
Hyper-V sockets on 4.13 may break (if they were not
already broken by the update to 4.13.6).

NOTE: Some of the 4.13.x VMBus patches did not apply cleanly and they
were dropped for now. This may break LCOW and other Windows support.

Note, on x86_64 for 4.12.9 a new kernel option,
HARDLOCKUP_CHECK_TIMESTAMP was added which defaults to enabled. It enables
a low pass filter to compensate for perf based hard lockup detection.
Added this option to the x86_64 4.12.x kernel confog file.
