Bug Description

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1639924 enabled CONFIG_EXPOLINE_EXTERN for s390x in Jammy. While doing so, it also defined an associated annotation check to enforce it on s390x. On Focal, this config can't be enabled due to the GCC version it comes with. CONFIG_EXPOLINE_EXTERN requires >= 110200 while Focal comes with 90400.

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-hwe-5.15/5.15.0-70.77~20.04.1 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-focal' to 'verification-done-focal'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-failed-focal'.

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!
