The new libpfm4 version seems to include changes besides just adding new
code for enabling the new CPUs, and it's non-trivial to see from source
review what impact this may have on existing uses. Could we have some
analysis of these changes, and their potential risk to the release?
There's also this packaging change:
+# see FEATURE AREAS in dpkg-buildflags(1)
+export DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS = hardening=+all,-pie
This explicitly disables PIE, which is enabled by default on amd64 and
s390x in yakkety. Why should we want to disable PIE? There's no
explanation in the debian changelog.
** Changed in: libpfm4 (Ubuntu)
