This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 3.16.1 release.
There are 17 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response
to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please
let me know.
Responses should be made by Sun Aug 10 21:34:49 UTC 2014.
Anything received after that time might be too late.
Build results:
total: 136 pass: 136 fail: 0
That's more than 3.15, nice!
Oops, no, one less. What got dropped from 3.16 that was working in 3.14
and 3.15?
3.16 adds arm:axm55x_defconfig, and drops ppc:chroma_defconfig.
ppc is built twice, once with binutils 2.23 and once with binutils 2.24,
so it counts double. So net it is one less build. I may make up for that
and select a different configuration as replacement, but that will have
to wait until 3.17-rc1 is out.
Just for reference, in mainline, we currently have
total: 133 pass: 127 fail: 6
plus four (!) qemu tests failing (arm, mips, mips64, and ppc),
meaning there will be three more dropped configurations (all arm
as far as I can see), and there is already a bunch of failures.
This is with v3.16-9794-g8065be8. next-20140808 build result is
total: 133 pass: 121 fail: 12
with the same failed qemu tests, so it will only get worse :-(.
Some improved quality assurance may be helpful going forward,
especially since many of the failures seem to be due to lack of
(build) testing and could easily have been avoided. Something
to discuss in Chicago, maybe.
