Public bug reported: == SRU Justification == The 4.4.y stable backport c9fadf27006b for upstream commit 1bd6a1c4b80a ("powerpc/fadump: handle crash memory ranges array index overflow"), cherry-picked for Xenial as part of bug 1792419, introduces a build failure on ppc by returning a int in a void function. In 4.4.y register_fadump() returns void because 98b8cd7f7564 ("powerpc/fadump: Return error when fadump registration fails") hasn't been backported for this stable release.
== Fix == 98b8cd7f7564 ("powerpc/fadump: Return error when fadump registration fails") == Regression Potential == Low. The patch only handles the error return by some function and adds an additional error message. Limited to powerpc. == Test Case == Compile the kernel for powerpc (tested with ppc64el). ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: In Progress ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: Confirmed => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of नेपाली भाषा समायोजकहरुको समूह, which is subscribed to Xenial.
