@Breno in addition to the question above about which releases you're requesting, I have a new question about section mismatch warnings that the first patchset introduces:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x22228): Section mismatch in reference from the function setup_rfi_flush() to the function .init.text:safe_stack_limit() The function setup_rfi_flush() references the function __init safe_stack_limit(). This is often because setup_rfi_flush lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of safe_stack_limit is wrong. WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x22250): Section mismatch in reference from the function setup_rfi_flush() to the function .init.text:memblock_alloc_base() The function setup_rfi_flush() references the function __init memblock_alloc_base(). This is often because setup_rfi_flush lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of memblock_alloc_base is wrong. The "rfi-flush: Make it possible to call setup_rfi_flush() again" patch removes the __init__ annotation from setup_rfi_flush() and then the "rfi-flush: Call setup_rfi_flush() after LPM migration" patch makes it so that setup_rfi_flush() can be called outside of the initialization phase. If it is called outside of the initialization phase, it could call the two __init__ functions mentioned in the warnings above. So, from what I can tell, these are legitimate warnings. Are you all aware of these warnings and, if so, have you determined that they're not a problem? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1760099 Title: Additional spectre and meltdown patches Status in The Ubuntu-power-systems project: Triaged Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in linux source package in Trusty: Triaged Status in linux source package in Xenial: Triaged Status in linux source package in Artful: Triaged Status in linux source package in Bionic: Triaged Bug description: == Comment: #0 - Breno Leitao <bren...@br.ibm.com> - 2018-03-29 08:53:56 == Hi Canonical, There are some additional patches for Spectre and Meltdown that is required on ppc64el.
