Results from Linaroâs test farm.
No regressions on arm64, arm, x86_64, and i386.

There are three kernel warnings on stable-rc 5.6 two of them are also
present in Linus's tree.
So these reported issues are not the release blockers.
The Source of these warnings are reported while running kselftests.

1) This warning reported on the mailing list and discussion is active.
Warning reported on x86_64, i386, arm and arm64.
