Hi yamato, the kernel release schedule is available at: kernel.ubuntu.com You can see the next cycle as the last of the 3 "columns", so the kernel with this patch should get released to -proposed pocket around May 25th and to the -updates pocket around Jun 8th, subject to delays due to security issues/CVEs, that take precedence.

We propose here a specific fix for Bionic, in the form of the patch attached in comment #18. [Test case] * Basically the test consists in booting a signed kernel in a secure boot environment (this is required given Ubuntu kernel is built with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG so to use kexec_file_load() we must be in a proper signed/secure booted system). It works until 4.15.0-64, and starts to fail after this release, until the current proposed version 4.15.0-97. We can also check kdump-tools service in the failing case, which shows: systemctl status kdump-tools [...] kdump-tools[895]: Starting kdump-tools: * Creating symlink /var/lib/kdump/vmlinuz kdump-tools[895]: * Creating symlink /var/lib/kdump/initrd.img kdump-tools[895]: kexec_file_load failed: Exec format error kdump-tools[895]: * failed to load kdump kernel [...] * With the patch attached in the LP, it works normally again and I was able to collect a kdump. [Regression potential] * Given the patch is quite simple and fixes the build of purgatory, I think the regression potential is low. One potential regression in future would be on backports to purgatory Makefile, making them more difficult/prone to errors; given purgatory is a pretty untouchable code, I consider the regression potential here to be really low.
