What is the problem specifically? Is the issue that CONFIG_DEBUG enabled before make olddefconfig causes certain DEBUG options also to default to yes, and these additional options don't work well on Power? If that is the case, wouldn't it be better to remove the -debug jobs until they work well on Power? Or make them allow_failure: true ? > --- > automation/scripts/build | 7 ++++++- > 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/automation/scripts/build b/automation/scripts/build > index b4edcf010e..19dd9e8270 100755 > --- a/automation/scripts/build > +++ b/automation/scripts/build > @@ -22,7 +22,12 @@ if [[ "${RANDCONFIG}" == "y" ]]; then > # RANDCONFIG implies HYPERVISOR_ONLY > HYPERVISOR_ONLY="y" > else > - echo "CONFIG_DEBUG=${debug}" > xen/.config > + # Start off with arch's defconfig > + make -C xen defconfig > + > + # Drop existing CONFIG_DEBUG and replace with value of ${debug} > + sed -i 's/^CONFIG_DEBUG=[yn]//g' xen/.config > + echo "CONFIG_DEBUG=${debug}" >> xen/.config > > if [[ -n "${EXTRA_XEN_CONFIG}" ]]; then > echo "${EXTRA_XEN_CONFIG}" >> xen/.config > -- > 2.30.2 >
