> From Linaroâs validation farm we have the following test results for this 4.9.54-rc1. TI's 32 bit arm board the X15 is a new addition.  Also this time around more of LTP is being run. There is triage to do and youâll notice that Iâm differentiating between âknown failuresâ and âfailuresâ in the data below. The later obviously will get looked at so we can graduate failures to known failures/fixes and improve finding regressions. (Anyone want to help?) In summary I wouldnât hold up 4.9.54 based on the failures in the new data below.  Given itâs a Sat, the Mrs has plans, Iâve no time to do further digging until later.

/me hands Tom some '\n' characters...

How did your arm64 test build?  There was a build regression in the -rc1
release, are you sure you actually ran the correct image?

Thanks for testing this, finding out the root of these problems this
week would be great.
