[01:08] <Sean_McG> hi, I'm wondering if the Ryzen NPT patch from 4.14 can be backported to the 16.04 HWE kernel. Documented here: https://level1techs.com/article/patch-npt-ryzen-better-performance
[01:08] <TJ-> ^^^ Q from #ubuntu
[01:20] <TJ-> Sean_McG: it'd be good to mention the mainline commit hash 
[01:29] <Sean_McG> OK, let me find it
[01:31] <Sean_McG> kernel.org Git URL OK?
[01:32] <Sean_McG> https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/arch/x86/kvm/svm.c?h=v4.15-rc9&id=15038e14724799b8c205beb5f20f9e54896013c3
[01:34] <TJ-> Thanks, so commit 15038e1 "KVM: SVM: obey guest PAT"
[01:34] <Sean_McG> yessir
[03:22] <sbeattie> it would be helpful to have a bug report.
[09:24] <f_g> sbeattie: we carry that one in our downstream kernel, haven't filed it yet but it's on my TODO list.
[09:25] <f_g> it's a straight-forward cherry-pick IIRC
[13:03] <mamarley> apw: Can you switch the mainline kernels to being compiled on Bionic so they will compile with the retpoline-supporting GCC 7.3?
[21:34] <maxb> Hello. I have just figured out that my Bluetooth woes in artful are due to incompatibility between the Intel 8260 wifi and bluetooth firmwares. Fixed firmware landed in linux-firmware.git in December: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit?id=fdee922a785212be7ccced6809b337290fdac971 but has not yet made it in to bionic.
[21:34] <maxb> 1) Is this something someone would consider SRUing for artful?
[21:35] <maxb> 2) Is there a planned resync of bionic's linux-firmware with upstream, or should I file a bug about that separately?
[21:36] <maxb> Existing bug in LP: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1719210
