This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-failed- xenial'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

Some of these testcases are used by our test infrastructure, which downloads the kernel source, compiles and run them. The problem with this approach is that patches applied to the testcases can break the compilation and this is detected only after the kernels are already released to -proposed. I am proposing that we add some simple debian/rules targets that will keep a list of the selftests that Ubuntu cares about, compile and run them. This could be plugged into our test build infrastructure in order to be able to detect such breaks. [Test Case] With these changes, one would be able to run the following to compile/run the selftests: # fakeroot debian/rules clean # fakeroot debian/rules compileselftests # fakeroot debian/rules runselftests [Regression Potential] None. This only adds new rules targets that will not break any existing targets.
