Boot fails: failed to validate module [nls_iso8859_1] BTF: -22

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1911359

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

Can´t pull the log, as i am unable to boot.

Probably fixed by: https://patchwork.kernel<email address hidden>/ (not yet merged by torvalds)
The issue happens if a kernel module has an empty BTF

Thanks @spacefish! I was currently testing a fix that looks exactly like that, but at this point I'll just apply that patch and upload a new unstable kernel.

I've uploaded a new 5.11 (https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+git/unstable/log/), but now there's another issue with the new binutils in -proposed (2.35.90.20210113-1ubuntu1), that has been updated yesterday in the builders:

arch/x86/entry/thunk_64.o: warning: objtool: missing symbol table
make[4]: *** [/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/scripts/Makefile.build:369: arch/x86/entry/thunk_64.o] Error 1
make[4]: *** Deleting file 'arch/x86/entry/thunk_64.o'
make[3]: *** [/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/scripts/Makefile.build:518: arch/x86/entry] Error 2
make[2]: *** [/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/Makefile:1833: arch/x86] Error 2
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

So it looks like we need one more fix...

And I may have a fix also for this one (testing right now). Apparently we need to build arch/x86/entry/thunk_64.S only when CONFIG_PREEMPTION is set, otherwise the generated object will be empty, the new assembler doesn't generate a symbol table for the empty object and objtool doesn't like that.

This is fixed in Ubuntu-5.11.0-4.5. We can close this for now.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-done-focal'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-failed-focal'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
