[11:56] <raidghost> apw: whats normal time on bug respond? Can it take months?
[13:20] <ricotz> sforshee, hi, is there an eta for a 4.15.7 based build for bionic and xenial?
[13:22] <sforshee> ricotz: I'll probably upload that to bionic-proposed in the next couple of days for bionic, less certain about xenial
[13:25] <ricotz> sforshee, I see, I will go for a local build in the meantime then
[13:25] <ricotz> sforshee, btw 4.15 is still the target for bionic?
[13:33] <sforshee> ricotz: yes, 4.15
[13:38] <ricotz> sforshee, alright, thanks
[15:04] <ricotz> sforshee, minor ABI addition https://paste.debian.net/plain/1013429
[15:06] <ricotz> sforshee, is it expected that the retpoline check-results are different on a xenial toolchain?
[15:16] <sforshee> ricotz: that has nothing to do with retpoline, it's that a new exported symbol was added
[15:16] <sforshee> and that won't be specific to building on xenial
[15:17] <ricotz> sforshee, those were two notes and independent
[15:17] <sforshee> oh
[15:18] <ricotz> so ABI addition on bionic amd64 build
[15:18] <ricotz> but the retpoline results differ on xenial e.g. building the bionic master-next tree on xenial
[15:19] <sforshee> ricotz: I'm not sure about that, apw ^
[15:20] <ricotz> I guess this is simple hiding this fact https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/xenial/commit/?h=hwe-edge&id=1bd19edd819437a08c63fcfc600a7bcff0b89741
[15:23] <sforshee> I won't be surprised at all that the retpoline results with one toolchain aren't comparable to those with another toolchain, I just don't know for certain
[15:26] <ricotz> hmm, what is the purpose this check then?
[20:18] <AlexAvadanii> hi! I see 4.15 is in https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/xenial/log/?h=hwe-edge, but https://packages.ubuntu.com/source/xenial-updates/linux-meta-hwe-edge is still at 4.13, and I don't see it in proposed ... any idea when the transition will happen?
[22:34] <steve667> Hi all, hope you're having a great day :D heeeeeey, got a question regarding Ubuntu 14.04 (sorry, kinda newbie). So, right now we have, on a couple of production servers, the kernel 3.13.0-142-generic, which is the latest one for it, I think. And looking for references for spectre/meltdown vulnerabilites, found that we could install the xenial kernel 4.4.0-116 for Ubuntu 14 with HWE, which includes the retpoline mitigation for varian
[22:34] <steve667> t 2. So, my question is: If we need to have the three patches for the three vulnerabilities in Ubuntu 14 in a production environment, is this the way to go? installing xenial kernel with HWE? or is there a future release coming for Ubuntu 14 with the retpoline mitigation? thanks in advance for your attention and support :D
[23:23] <TJ-> steve667: checking the changelog shows  "CVE-2017-5715 (Spectre v2 embargoed) // CVE-2017-5753 (Spectre v1 embargoed)" ... "- x86/asm/msr: Make wrmsrl_safe() a function"
[23:32] <steve66__> :o really? was checking with the spectre checker and it said vulnerable. where can I check that changelog ? and thanks for your reply :D
