These are older pipelines that are waiting for

https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20201008234000.740660-9-andrii@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#u

to be merged into mainline/ARK. We're also in contact with Jirka Olsa
due to a different bpf issue with resolve_btfids (not s390x-specific).


If you check out the new results, they are due to broken ARK configs.

Agreed. We do have this functionality on the list. Unfortunately the
implementation was pushed back due to all the work on the workflow
changes, as we don't have time/people to work on everything at once.


As I side note, I'll be updating the email configs based on Justin's
suggestion later today.
