> Results from Linaroâs test farm. One regression detected on x86. Weâre doing some re-runs to see if itâs a solid failure or intermittent. It is however a testcase which hasnât failed in the past.  Also as per usual the HiKey results are reported separate because the platform support isnât in tree.

I thought I gave you enough \n in the past, did you use all of them up?  :(

Anyway, what is the new x86 failure?

Is it this:

> * ltp-syscalls-tests - skip: 164, fail: 4, pass: 957 

If so, any pointers to the specific log messages, and which tests are
failing?  Digging through the web site isn't the easiest...

And kselftests should have gotten less failures this time around, given
that some of them were patched in this -rc, why didn't that number go
down?

thanks,
