linux-armadaxp: 3.2.0-1605.8 -proposed tracker

This tracking bug was opened to be worked from linux-3.2.0-27.42 update (bug 1020016)

Copied to -proposed and overrides updated, should be in a sane state in ~40m.

Boots fine, no armadaxp specifc bugs to verify, good for testing.

Setting to verification-done based on Jani's comments

No USN

Tests ran OK, with one single exception: the QRT kernel-test failed on two tests because ip_tables.ko could not be found on the installed system:

AssertionError: ERROR: modinfo: could not find module ip_tables

I have pinged #ubuntu-kernel about this, and I am waiting a reply. Until then, this task will be kept open.

$ git grep CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES debian*
debian.armadaxp/config/config.common.ubuntu:CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES=y
debian.master/config/config.common.ubuntu:CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES=m

ip_tables is built-in, not a module.

ip_tables is built in the kernel instead of as a module. It is either a historical config setting or an accident, there is nothing explicitly relying on it to be built in AFAIK, but I may be wrong.

A chat with janimo on #ubuntu-kernel cleared this up: it happens that, right now, ip_tables is built-in for armadaxp (so, of course, mod(probe|info) would fail.

Janimo is changing the armadaxp kconfig to have ip_tables as a module. This will bring the armadaxp kernel more in conformance with the other kernels.

Given that, and given no other issues were found, I have marked this qa-testing-passed.

This bug was fixed in the package linux-armadaxp - 3.2.0-1605.8
