Rolf Neugebauer bfceb1dfbb kernel: Update to 4.14.14/4.9.77/4.4.112
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.

Subject: [PATCH 02/12] perf jit: Avoid returning garbage for a ret variable
When the loop body isn't executed at all, then the 'ret' local variable,
that is uninitialized will be used as the return value.
This triggers this error on Alpine Linux:

util/jitdump.c: In function 'jit_process':

Thread model: posix
gcc version 5.3.0 (Alpine 5.3.0)
But this so far got under the radar, not causing any build problem, till the
"perf jit: enable jitdump support without dwarf" gets applied, when the above
problem takes place, some combination of inlining or whatever, the problem
is real, so fix it by initializing the variable to zero.
