blocking the xen-unstable push gate for a week now so it really does need
looking into.

Also CC the arch X86 maintainers, for-their-info.

It is in the original mail report, which is in the ML archives:
http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2015-11/msg03222.html

version targeted for testing:
ÂxenÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂb1d398b67781140d1c6efd05778d0ad4103b2a32
baseline version:
ÂxenÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ713b7e4ef2aa4ec3ae697cde9c81d5a57548f9b1

You can also find it via the logs at
    Â    http://logs.test-lab.xenproject.org/osstest/logs/65141
by clicking the header of one of the build-$arch jobs e.g.Â
http://logs.test-lab.xenproject.org/osstest/logs/65141/build-amd64/info.html

and looking at the various tree_* and revision_* in the "Test control
variables" table, e.g.:
    revision_xen            b1d398b67781140d1c6efd05778d0ad4103b2a32

FWIW looking at the different branches in
Â
http://logs.test-lab.xenproject.org/osstest/results/history/test-amd64-amd64-qemuu-nested-intel/

While xen-unstable has started failing on godello1 xen-4.6-testing does
seem to be passing there.

The history for the previous job name (before splitting into -intel and
-amd) also shows a pass on godello1:

http://logs.test-lab.xenproject.org/osstest/results/history/test-amd64-amd64-qemuu-nested/xen-unstable.html

Of course this is a new test so there isn't very much historical data to
draw conclusions from.

According toÂ
http://osstest.test-lab.xenproject.org/~osstest/pub/results/bisect/xen-unstable/test-amd64-amd64-qemuu-nested-intel.debian-hvm-install--l1--l2.html
it was unable to reproduce a baseline, probably because it didn't have
enough historical data.Â
