Summary

No regressions (compared to build v4.9.50)
No regressions is good, but why do we have so many actual failures overall? Seeing that we are failing 15 kselftests and 12 ltp syscall
The LTP tests fail mostly because of NFS. This only applies to x86 where we mount rootfs this way. These tests pass on HiKey
flock01 flock04 linkat01 open12 openat02 renameat201 renameat202 utime01 utime02 utime03
Two more failed because there is not enough space available: sendfile09 sendfile09_64
In these results I can see flock actually passing and ioctl03 failing. Naresh, could you take a look? I didn't see the bug for that in our bugzilla.
I'm not 100% sure about kselftest but these failures are most likely due to incompatibility between test version (coming from 4.13) and kernel version. Not all tests can fail gracefully when the tested feature is not available.
tests would be good to know, and something that I want to get fixed for 4.9.y as I'm guessing this is not the case for 4.14-rc1?
For LTP the situation is very similar in terms of results. The only difference I can see is ioctl03 test (which Naresh will check shortly). With kselftest the results also look pretty consistent. There are a few more passes on 4.14-rc1 but I assume they're there because the tested features exist.
