The kernels are here:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux

but 3.9 has been removed.

You can still get the last 3.9 Ubuntu sources - you'd have to compile
a deb yourself - from:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/+source/linux/3.9.0-7.15

but it's based on 3.9.7 rather than 3.9.9 (so it might or might not
have what you're looking for).
