All autopkgtests for the newly accepted linux-gcp-5.3 (5.3.0-1008.9~18.04.1) for bionic have finished running. The following regressions have been reported in tests triggered by the package:
linux-gcp-5.3/unknown (amd64) Please visit the excuses page listed below and investigate the failures, proceeding afterwards as per the StableReleaseUpdates policy regarding autopkgtest regressions [1]. https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed- migration/bionic/update_excuses.html#linux-gcp-5.3 [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Autopkgtest_Regressions Thank you! -- 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/1840934 Title: Change kernel compression method to improve boot speed Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems: Fix Released Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Colin King has done some analysis of kernel boot speed using different kernel compression methods. Results for x86 are at: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~cking/boot-speed-eoan-5.3/kernel-compression-method.txt https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~cking/boot-speed-eoan-5.3/boot-speed-compression-5.3-rc4.ods Testing of s390 gave the following: GZIP 31528972 LZ4 192348049 LZO 85990145 From Colin: "I used the monotonic TOD timer using the stckf opcode to fetch a 64 bit time value. Not sure how this maps to 'real time' in seconds." Conclusion: We should switch x86 to LZ4 and s390 to LZO. PPC and ARM do not support LZO or LZ4, so we will stick with gzip there.
