Before starting a bisect, would it be possible for you to test the
latest upstream kernel? Refer to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.17 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".


Thanks in advance.

Title:
  Booting time got slower with newer kernel versions

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 14.10 dev with linux-image-generic 3.16.0.9.10 and as already mentioned in the other ticket (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1325819) I'm noticing a performance loss in booting time of a few seconds with newer versions of the kernel. But interestingly one linked kernel in the other ticket (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~jsalisbury/lp1325819/ -> 3.13.0-031300rc3-generic) doesn't have this problem. In the attachments are 2 dmesg logs of the different kernels. As they show the 3.13.0-031300rc3-generic was ~2 seconds faster with loading the nvidia module (last lines in dmesg) than the current kernel. I'm wondering why there is this difference between those kernels in booting time.
