Hi Brad,
I've addressed most of the issues with commit 2464 to the qa-regression-
testing tree. However, there are a few remaining failures that are legit
issues with the kernel on 390x. They are:
FAIL: test_074_config_security_default_mmap_min_addr
(__main__.KernelSecurityTest)
CONFIG_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR
CONFIG_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR is set to 4096 on s390x, not 65536 like on
other arches.
FAIL: test_075_config_stack_protector (__main__.KernelSecurityTest)
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR set
FAIL: test_082_stack_guard_kernel (__main__.KernelSecurityTest)
Kernel stack guard
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR is not set for s390x, unlike for our other
arches. As far as I can tell, gcc and the kernel support the option on
s390x (but if not, then I'll adjust our tests).
I'm also seeing the module tainting test
test_140_kernel_modules_not_tainted failing on s390x. Checking the
contents of /proc/modules, it looks like all the modules on the s390x
kernel (4.4.0-2.16-generic) aren't being signed (i.e. have an (E) listed
for them). I'm not sure why this is, if it indicates an issue with the
kernel build process on s390x.
Thanks.
