The latest test kernel that is available in the PPA https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-power-triage/+archive/ubuntu/lp1822870 includes all that patches in the tarball and the patch "51c3c62b58b3 powerpc: Avoid code patching freed init sections."' In comment #11 Ellerman@ibm verified that this kernel passes his tests in the simulator. We would like to keep the patchset to the min number of required critical patches. The patches to clean up code etc could trigger the kernel team to reject the SRU because these are not critical fixes. If you are satisfied with the set of patches that are currently in the PPA kernel I can submit these for SRU review. Here is the list of patches in the PPA kernel, please note the shaids wont match with yours (upstream) because this is from the Ubuntu 4.15 kernel source. 8db52d2ad2ce (HEAD -> spectre-1822870) powerpc: Avoid code patching freed init sections 9358c01bc816 KVM: PPC: Book3S: Add count cache flush parameters to kvmppc_get_cpu_char() 4c3a23aaf32f powerpc/security: Fix spectre_v2 reporting 9e74ec03431a powerpc/fsl: Add nospectre_v2 command line argument 60ec56d8b314 powerpc/fsl: Fix spectre_v2 mitigations reporting 5c2a9f5f9d9e powerpc/powernv: Query firmware for count cache flush settings ce74f68a8bfd powerpc/pseries: Query hypervisor for count cache flush settings e4ebd9989cdc powerpc/64s: Add support for software count cache flush 1d49623704bf powerpc/64s: Add new security feature flags for count cache flush 7aa198fb1644 powerpc/asm: Add a patch_site macro & helpers for patching instructions 4b97b64ac5cd powerpc/lib/feature-fixups: use raw_patch_instruction() 6508ea530cb7 powerpc/lib/code-patching: refactor patch_instruction() f06866d8777e powerpc/64: Make meltdown reporting Book3S 64 specific a40b1c85cc50 powerpc/64: Call setup_barrier_nospec() from setup_arch() c9c86099ae24 powerpc/64: Add CONFIG_PPC_BARRIER_NOSPEC 82cf510fab3f powerpc/64: Make stf barrier PPC_BOOK3S_64 specific. b4d6e3d336c3 powerpc/64: Disable the speculation barrier from the command line 4b94b84138dd powerpc64s: Show ori31 availability in spectre_v1 sysfs file not v2 6d63c784648f powerpc/64s: Enhance the information in cpu_show_spectre_v1() e556e8721b0f powerpc/64: Use barrier_nospec in syscall entry b09734c0aef5 powerpc: Use barrier_nospec in copy_from_user() 59abe6f37d98 powerpc/64s: Enable barrier_nospec based on firmware settings f9c9cbba5139 powerpc/64s: Patch barrier_nospec in modules b7860091936e powerpc/64s: Add support for ori barrier_nospec patching > > Thanks! > > Mike > > Mike Ranweiler > mranw...@us.ibm.com > > > -----Michael Ranweiler/Rochester/IBM wrote: -----To: Manoj Iyer > <manoj.i...@canonical.com> > From: Michael Ranweiler/Rochester/IBM > Date: 04/11/2019 12:21AM > Cc: 1822...@bugs.launchpad.net > Subject: Re: Could you please test the PPA kernel? > > Manoj, > > I tested it, but we're missing a patch.
