Build results: total: 136 pass: 136 fail:0 Qemu test results: total: 115 pass: 112 fail:3 Failed tests: mipsel:24Kf:malta_defconfig:smp:rootfs mipsel64:malta_defconfig:nosmp:rootfs mipsel64:malta_defconfig:smp:rootfs
The failures are due to newly added tests; the init process crashes. v3.16 passes those tests, so the problem was introduced later. I'll run a bisect later to see if I can find the culprit. If not, I'll drop the new tests from this kernel version.
