** Summary changed: - Kernel panic with xenial 4.4 stack (4.4.0-108.131, Candidate kernels for PTI fix) + Kernel trace with xenial 4.4 (4.4.0-108.131, Candidate kernels for PTI fix)
** Description changed: [Description] When using PPA https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel- team/+archive/ubuntu/pti/ to fetch the candidate kernels for CVE-2017-5754, CVE-2017-5715 and CVE-2017-5753. There is the same kernel - panic shown in many different pre-installed Ubuntu images of different + trace shown in many different pre-installed Ubuntu images of different platform. So far these platform are known to reproduce this issue: CID 201606-22340 (Dell Vostro 5468) CID 201606-22349 (Dell Inspiron 7560) CID 201606-22365 (Dell Inspiron 5767) - - There are around 15~20 (or more) candidates (different platforms and - images) to have this issue. I don't spend time to check each of them one - by one. [Steps to Reproduce] 1. Install the target pre-installed image (Xenial 4.4-based stack) for the platform. 2. Fetch the kernel 4.4.0-108.131 from this PPA https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/pti/ 3. Update the system by "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" 4. After the system update, reboot it. 5. Check the syslog after the system is ready to use again. [Expected Result] - No kernel panic message. + No kernel trace message. [Actual Result] - Kernel panic message as: + Kernel trace message as: Jan 9 00:33:33 201606-22365 kernel: [ 37.701226] ------------[ cut here ]------------ Jan 9 00:33:33 201606-22365 kernel: [ 37.701243] kernel BUG at /build/linux-J4_1pC/linux-4.4.0/mm/slub.c:3627!
