Hi Linus and Andy, We did test in our side with v4.4-rc8 + Andy's vDSO v2 patches + Android M (bionic libc using sysenter) ==> Device can boot up successfully
Other tests were: - Android L (bionic libc using int80) + v4.4-rc8 ==> Device can boot up successfully - Android L (bionic libc using int80) + v4.4-rc8 + Andy's v2 patches ==> Device can boot up successfully - Android M (bionic libc using sysenter) + v4.4-rc8 ==> Device can NOT boot up successfully - Android M (bionic libc using sysenter) + v4.4-rc8 + Andy's v2 patches ==> Device can boot up successfully Thanks!

It's not like it's complicated, and I'm assuming it got tested and passed all our current test-cases (which are much more complete than anything we've ever had historically). Linus
