Note, this failure is happening for multiple series; trusty, vivid, wily and xenial. We need to determine if this is really a kernel failure or a bug in the test.
s390 failure log: http:// kernel. ubuntu. com/testing/ 4.4.0-25. 44/s2lp4_ _4.4.0- 25.44__ 2016-06- 19_16-57- 00/ubuntu_ qrt_kernel_ security/ results/ debug/client. DEBUG
The aslr tests are failing because COMPAT mode on s390 is 31 bits, not 32, and so needs the -m31 compiler option. I've fixed this in qrt commit 2532.
I also note the tainted kernel module test is failing due to the zfs module being loaded on the test instance. I'll look at addressing that.
