Hardware Certification have completed testing this -proposed kernel. No regressions were observed, results are available here: http://people.canonical.com/~hwcert/sru-testing/artful/4.13.0-38.43/artful-proposed-published.html

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

The lttng module build issue (bug 1756240) has been solved.
So the only concern is the zram smoke test for ThunderX (bug 1758036)

[Kleber Sacilotto de Souza (kleber-souza)]

Regarding the zram smoke test, according to bug 1755073 that bug is also on upstream and a SAUCE patch with a interim fix has been sent to the mailing which is going to be committed to the next SRU cycle. Based on that, I'm marking regression-testing as 'Fix Released'.

[Stefan Bader (smb)]

Manually overriding verification-testing state. I reviewed all outstanding bugs to be either vendor requests for specific arches, or low-risk changes.
