OK, I grabbed commit 74899d92e66663dc7671a8017b3146dcd4735f3b "x86/xen: Add call of speculative_store_bypass_ht_init() to PV paths" from g...@github.com:torvalds/linux.git and cherry-picked it on top of the tag Ubuntu-4.15.0-29.31, and built the kernel, and now it boots fine as dom0! I think that that patch fixes this bug.
How can I get this commit to be pulled into the main Ubuntu kernel development branch, to be released in the official kernel builds? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1777338 Title: Linux 4.15.0-23 crashes during the boot process with a "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference" message To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1777338/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
