Provide linux version 4.9.228-1 for UCS 4.3
First imported at bug #51702

This updates the Linux kernel to version 4.9.228, which addresses (among
others) the following security issues:
* l2tp: Race condition between pppol2tp_session_create() and
  l2tp_eth_create() (CVE-2018-9517)
* go7007_snd_init in drivers/media/usb/go7007/snd-go7007.c in the Linux
  kernel before 5.6 does not call snd_card_free for a failure path, which
  causes a memory leak (CVE-2019-20810)
* In calc_vm_may_flags of ashmem.c, there is a possible arbitrary write to
  shared memory due to a permissions bypass. This could lead to local
  escalation of privilege by corrupting memory shared between processes, with
  no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed
  for exploitation. Product: Android Versions: Android kernel Android ID:
  A-142938932 (CVE-2020-0009)
* Some ipv6 protocols not encrypted over ipsec tunnel. (CVE-2020-1749)
* Use-after-free in cdev_put() when a PTP device is removed while it's
  chardev is open (CVE-2020-10690)
* Rogue cross-process SSBD shutdown. Linux scheduler logical bug allows an
  attacker to turn off the SSBD protection. (CVE-2020-10766)
* Indirect Branch Prediction Barrier is force-disabled when STIBP is
  unavailable or enhanced IBRS is available. (CVE-2020-10767)
* Indirect branch speculation can be enabled after it was force-disabled by
  the PR_SPEC_FORCE_DISABLE prctl command. (CVE-2020-10768)
* DoS via concurrent calls to dw_spi_irq and dw_spi_transfer_one functions in
  drivers/spi/spi-dw.c (CVE-2020-12769)
* Possible to send arbitrary signals to a privileged (suidroot) parent
  process (CVE-2020-12826)
* ** DISPUTED ** An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.7.1.
  drivers/tty/vt/keyboard.c has an integer overflow if k_ascii is called
  several times in a row, aka CID-b86dab054059. NOTE: Members in the
  community argue that the integer overflow does not lead to a security issue
  in this case. (CVE-2020-13974)
