This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-wily' to 'verification-done-wily'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

As the original impetus for this bug report: I cannot personally verify that this solves the original problem (https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/285505) as it manifests itself on the Launchpad build farm and I do not have necessary hardware to reproduce this independently.

Latest attempt is https://launchpadlibrarian.net/242901620/buildlog_ubuntu-precise-armhf.bladerf_2016.01-rc1+1SNAPSHOT20160225213708-git61c3b57~precise_BUILDING.txt.gz ... note presence of "Illegal instruction" within the log, and the kernel version of 4.2.0-30-generic on aarch64.

It seems this issue was reopened in Zesty, which means the Xenial HWE is broken?

builder@xam-softiron-4:~$ grep CONFIG_ARMV8_DEPRECATED /boot/config-4.10.0-42-generic

Yeah, in the ubuntu-zesty kernel tree, CONFIG_ARMV8_DEPRECATED hasn't changed since 0a7cc07d51ea4 in 2014. Commit 464e0afc8e799 from ubuntu-xenial never made it in there.

Nominated releases do not contain 464e0afc8e799, so revert the ability to run ARMv7 binaries (which severely screws with my CI servers)

I've added Haw Loeung to the bug - it looks like the entire Canonical ARM build farm will be affected by this bug as soon as they get upgraded to either Bionic, or Xenial w/ a HWE.

Kernel version: Linux bos01-arm64-050 4.4.0-101-generic #124-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 10 18:30:44 UTC 2017 aarch64

Fix committed to bionic.

I can confirm that the kernel in bionic-proposed fixes the problem:
