Hello. I've noticed this issue with blank '/boot/retpoline-*' files in 16.04 LTS Release (i386/x86_32) after Linux kernel update to the v4.4.0-115 version. (Generally, I've started to seeing these files when "Spectre_V12" patches were available for i386 architecture. I wanted to ask a question or report a bug about it etc.) So, these files are empty and it looks this way on 16.04 LTS Release:
[~]$ ls -al /boot/retpoline-4.4.0-11* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 lut 11 19:00 /boot/retpoline-4.4.0-115-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 lut 13 00:14 /boot/retpoline-4.4.0-116-generic [~]$ uname -m i686 Thanks, best regards. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1751021 Title: retpoline abi files are empty on i386 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Trusty: Fix Released Status in linux source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Artful: Fix Committed Bug description: The <flavour>.retpoline files in the current abi are actually blank.
