Users of linux-libre@4.1 should take notice:
I've been unable to find backported patches for CVE-2017-1000364 (Stack
Clash mitigation) for linux-4.1. Also, upstream support for that kernel
version will reach end-of-life in about a month, so you should plan to
migrate to another kernel version soon.

linux-4.1.42 has just been released, which includes a backport of the
Stack Clash mitigation. Hopefully the corresponding linux-libre release
will be out in the next day or so.
If you're impatient, you could cherry-pick the following two commits:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sashal/linux-stable.git/commit/?h=linux-4.1.y&id=8b18c6b2a0dde5186ed83a60c4915c0909cbeb0a
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sashal/linux-stable.git/commit/?h=linux-4.1.y&id=dcda279dede75d5cb4e6af18ba90eb4ca1e813ee
It would be similar to commit 91c623aae0f10992aa46957b9072679534e4cd28,
but applied only to linux-libre-4.1.
