I retested this with my pseries secure boot setup. I built the key from the PPA
into grub and signed grub with the testing key which I built into SLOF.
I was then able to boot 5.11.0-9-generic in secure boot mode and without

Hi,
Thanks for your patience.
I tested 5.10.0-8-generic. /boot/config-5.10.0-8-generic contains:
# CONFIG_RCU_SCALE_TEST is not set
It boots fine in a P9 kvm guest, both when loaded by kexec and when
loaded by grub. There

Hi,
We've had some good progress with debugging upstream:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201209202732.5896-1-ure...@gmail.com/t/#u
fixes the issue properly.
Would you prefer to take that and leave the config unchanged? It'll

No worries, let me know if you'd like me to test another spin.

Ok, so sadly I cannot find a tarball with the patches not already applied,

Hi,
Thanks, I'll look at sources tarball, hopefully tomorrow. (I'm in AU, so
no thanksgiving here!)
Have you tested this on any of your local systems? I can't get it to
work much on P9, even on stock hardware/qemu without

Hi,
Looks like it fails to boot on a p9 qemu/kvm guest even out of grub:
hangs trying to bring up SMP. That's probably what we saw in bare-metal
too, the console probably just didn't catch up.
I will continue investigating,

Hi,

#5-Ubuntu
It boots without issue on a pseries guest with secure boot both on and
