The upstream "fix" for this is to remove the feature, as it is
redundant with tracing. I'd be quite happy to do that, but it
introduces several conflicts with the PREEMPT_RT patch series.
Unless and until those are resolved in 4.9-stable and 4.9-rt, disable
it in our kconfig and add a dependency on BROKEN to ensure it's
disabled in custom kernels too.
Various free and proprietary AV products use this feature and users
apparently want it. But punting access checks to userland seems like
an easy way to deadlock the system, and there will be nothing we can
do about that. So warn and taint the kernel if this feature is
actually used.
Move patches specific to Debian packaging under debian/, and bug fixes that
could go upstream belong under bugfix/. Put them in two separate groups in
the series.

Merge tag 'debian/4.4.2-1'
Drop rt featureset changes.
Drop patches that are already in 4.5-rc4.
Keep the ABI version at 'trunk'.
Drop many, many patches which went upstream. Refresh others for
filename or context changes, and for removal of radeon UMS support.
[rt] Disable until it is updated for 4.5 or later
aufs: Update support patches to aufs4.x-rcN-20160215
Refresh and drop patches as appropriate.
- Rewrite memcg disable patch to operate on cgroup_disable_mask
- The ancient Advansys Kconfig bug was fixed (differently) upstream
- ft1000 driver is gone, so we no longer need to remove its firmware
- One hunk of aufs4-mmap.patch is obsolete
$KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is used in two places:
1. By mkcompile_h, to generate both the utsname::version string
2. By gen_initramfs_list.sh, to set the timestamps for the built-in initramfs
As we want utsname::version to contain the package version and not an
RFC822 timestamp, the current value doesn't work for (2).
Change mkcompile_h to prefer $KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION_TIMESTAMP over
$KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP, and set both variables in debian/rules.real.
svn path=/dists/trunk/linux/; revision=22647
Drop and refresh patches as appropriate.
In the x86 memtest patch, add #ifdef CONFIG_X86 as memtest is now
cross-architecture and memtest86+ is not.
svn path=/dists/trunk/linux/; revision=22616
Restore a #include dropped from fs/proc/generic.c which perturbed genksyms.
Ignore the removal of exported static functions from
snd-hda-controller which shouldn't be used OOT (they were only ever
meant for use by other modules in that directory).
svn path=/dists/sid/linux/; revision=22486
qxl: Disable by default, as it is incompatible with wheezy's
xserver-xorg-video-qxl. It can be forced to load with module
parameter modeset=1.
svn path=/dists/sid/linux/; revision=22437
Revert the quota ops change as it will take some effort to avoid an
ABI change. All the others can be fixed or ignored.
svn path=/dists/sid/linux/; revision=22419
The patched source is also used (via linux-source-<version>) for
building custom kernel packages, and 'make clean' definitely should
remove the debian directory there.

The 'powerpc/boot: 64bit little endian wrapper' patch-set is in linux 3.16,
thus the default make/image-y target is OK now.

xserver-xorg-video-modesetting installs a modprobe config file to enable

Deal with the various ABI changes:
* Avoid the change in ALSA
* We can no longer avoid a change in sockdiag, and it doesn't seem to
have any OOT users so ignore it
* team driver probably doesn't have OOT users, so ignore the change
svn path=/dists/sid/linux/; revision=21476
Replace 'powerpc/powernv: Add calls to support little endian host'
with the version committed upstream.
Drop the ABI-preserving changes.
svn path=/dists/trunk/linux/; revision=21452
Debian ppc64el will wait for the 'powerpc/boot: 64bit little endian wrapper'
(zImage) patches upstream rather than shipping 32-bit tools for zImage. The
patches are currently in Ben Herrenschmidt's linux-next tree [1].
The patches are not being carried over instead of this workaround because,
even without both, the build process does produces vmlinux, only failing for
zImage. So, it's ok to just work-around this for now, as we pick vmlinux.
The workaround patch just avoids this build error:

LD vmlinux
SYSMAP System.map
