Bug Description
== SRU Justification ==
With the Power9 copy_unaligned test removed in bug 1813118,
we can now move forward and remove the broken paste_unaligned /
paste_last_
From the commit message:
Paste on POWER9 only works to accelerators and not on real memory.
So these tests just generate a SIGILL.
Actual test output:
test: test_paste_
tags: git_version:unknown
!! child died by signal 4
failure: test_paste_
not ok 1..2 selftests: paste_unaligned [FAIL]
selftests: paste_last_
===
test: test_paste_
tags: git_version:unknown
!! child died by signal 4
failure: test_paste_
not ok 1..3 selftests: paste_last_
selftests: alignment_handler
(On Power8 these two test will be skipped)
This patchset will also address the compilation intrduced by b2d35fa
(selftests: add headers_install to lib.mk) which landed with Bionic
upstream stable patchset 2019-07-12 (bug 1836426)
== Fix ==
* 525661ef (selftests/powerpc: Remove Power9 paste tests)
* 7e0cf1c9 (selftests/powerpc: Fix Makefiles for headers_install change)
These has been applied in Disco.
As Cosmic will reach EOL soon, and we don't have alignment tests in
Xenial, we only need this for Bionic.
== Test ==
Patch tested on a P9 node "baltar", test build OK and these two tests
were removed as expected.
== Regression Potential ==
Low.
Code change limited to testing tools for Power9 and just removing
broken tests, fix build error.
