This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware
Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 17.10 for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

USNS 3541-2 and 3523-2 provided mitigations for Spectre and Meltdown
(CVE-2017-5715, CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5754) for the i386, amd64,
and ppc64el architectures for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. This update provides
the corresponding mitigations for the arm64 architecture. Original
advisory details:

 Jann Horn discovered that microprocessors utilizing speculative execution
 and indirect branch prediction may allow unauthorized memory reads via
 sidechannel attacks. This flaw is known as Meltdown. A local attacker could
 use this to expose sensitive information, including kernel memory.
