Test results from the linaro linux kernel functional test farm:

kernel: 4.4.90-rc1
git repo: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable-rc.git
git branch: linux-4.4.y
git commit: 255b4a073a820d2f46a1ce1740f1a9be3de9661a
git describe: v4.4.89-42-g255b4a073a82
Test details: https://qa-reports.linaro.org/lkft/linux-stable-rc-4.4-oe/build/v4.4.89-42-g255b4a073a82

No regressions (compared to build v4.4.89-30-gb547584d016b)

Boards, architectures and test suites:
-------------------------------------

dell-poweredge-r200 - x86_64 
* boot - 1 pass
* kselftest - 44 pass - 24 known failures
* libhugetlbfs - 76 pass - 1 skip
* ltp-syscalls-tests - 941 pass - 175 skip - 11 known failures 


And as a separate but related report, we have HiKey (arm64) results. These are separate because there are some out of tree patches that didnât quite make 4.4 back in the day, thus for this board the kernel is a blend of the LTS RC + some platform patches.
