This bug was fixed in the package kexec-tools - 1:2.0.16-1ubuntu3 --------------- kexec-tools (1:2.0.16-1ubuntu3) cosmic; urgency=medium
* Fix for "Unhandled rela relocation: R_X86_64_PLT32" error. LP: #1791804 -- Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <casca...@canonical.com> Mon, 10 Sep 2018 16:46:00 -0300 ** Changed in: kexec-tools (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to kexec-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1783086 Title: [18.10 FEAT] Enable kexec_file_load system call - kexec-tools part Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems: Fix Committed Status in kexec-tools package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: FeatureFreeze Exception (FFE): ============================== Reason, rationale and benefits: ------------------------------- The feature is based on the combination of two tickets: - 1783088 this ticket for the kernel part was just created for completeness reasons this part of the functionality automatically came with kernel 4.17 hence this LP ticket is 'Fix Released' - 1783086 this is the 'user space' part of the functionality that should be addressed by the FFE There was a little confusion if this belongs to the FeatureFreeze or KernelFreeze. Since it's a package maintained by the kernel team the misconception came up that it is not affected by the Feature, but by the Kernel Freeze, hence it was not processed in time and information was missing. Without this patch the (new) "--kexec-file-syscall" option for s390x cannot be used with cosmic. And the customer/partner needs to wait for the next d* release (means for several month). This FFE now asks if the single commit (below) can be added to the kexec-tools (Ubuntu) of cosmic: Description: ------------ commit d4a948c268272cf37c71be820fb02bf40e56292b Author: Philipp Rudo <pr...@linux.ibm.com> Date: Wed May 16 14:27:18 2018 +0200 kexec/s390: Add support for kexec_file_load Since kernel 4.17-rc2 s390 supports the kexec_file_load system call. Add the new system call to kexec-tools and provide the -s (--kexec-file-syscall) option for s390 to support this new feature. Impact / Risk: -------------- Since the function / option is new and for s390(x) the risk is pretty low. There are no APIs expected to break or existing functions that are expected to fail while introducing this. Package dependencies will not change, nor the install/upgrade behaviour after this got added. Testing of the code, test builds and verification was already done by IBM.
