[06:07] <NCommander> amitk, ping |
|
[07:30] <NCommander> How does updateconfigs work? (i.e., I don't get how the common config is generated ...) |
|
[08:37] <amitk> NCommander: if you add a new Kconfig option, running updateconfigs will prompt you for that config option for all flavours |
|
[08:38] <NCommander> amitk, I got that far :-) |
|
[08:38] <NCommander> amitk, its more figuring out what the configuration options should be on the new ones :-) |
|
[08:39] * NCommander is already mostly done, just finishing sparc config |
|
[08:39] <amitk> you just have to know that. updateconfigs can't read developers minds yet :) |
|
[08:39] <NCommander> amitk, Its tedious work |
|
[08:39] * amitk nods |
|
[08:40] <NCommander> Once I finish 2.6.27, I'll start doing test builds |
|
[08:40] * NCommander has access to all the port architectures :-)! |
|
[08:40] <amitk> sweet |
|
[08:41] <NCommander> amitk, find out about the kernel.u.c. account? |
|
[08:41] * NCommander would like a place to hang his tree |
|
[08:45] <amitk> NCommander: will shoot off email today |
|
[08:45] <NCommander> \o\ /o/ |
|
[08:46] <NCommander> amitk, generally, if something can be built as a module, it gets built as that. That's the rule of thumb I followed for kernel configuration updating (Linus added at least 30-40 new config options 25 -> 27 ;.;) |
|
[08:52] <amitk> NCommander: probably fine for now, for Jaunty we might turn that rule over its head to improve on boot times. |
|
[08:52] <NCommander> amitk, I already put a note that we need to sanity check the config files |
|
[08:52] <NCommander> (make sure no insane options for an architecture is there) |
|
[08:54] <NCommander> WOOOOOO |
|
[08:54] <NCommander> finally |
|
[08:54] <NCommander> rebased |
|
[08:57] <NCommander> amitk, stupid question, how do I generate a new abi folder? (its pretty clear that 2.6.25 -> 2.6.27 will break an ABI) |
|
[09:01] <abogani> Nafallo: Build process generate it automatically |
|
[09:01] <abogani> Nafallo: Sorry |
|
[09:01] <abogani> I meant NCommander :-) |
|
[09:01] <NCommander> ah |
|
[09:02] <NCommander> so now I get to see how miserable the ABI broke in two releases |
|
[09:02] <NCommander> woow |
|
[09:02] <abogani> ;) |
|
[09:02] <NCommander> so whats sauce? |
|
[09:21] <NCommander> amitk, ^ |
|
[09:27] <amitk> NCommander: any patch that isn't upstream yet (those that _should_ go upstream + those that will never go upstream) |
|
[09:28] <NCommander> amitk, oh, that makes sense, anyway, 2.6.27 is building via debuild, so I haven't completely destoried the world yet ;-) |

[10:39] <NCommander> amitk, hola |
|
[10:55] <mdz> it looks like 263059 may have been caused by ftrace |
|

|
[11:17] <NCommander> amitk, I just discovered linux-ports-meta doesn't depend on linux-firmware. Care to help fix that? |

|
[13:39] <NCommander> hey BenC |
|
[13:53] * NCommander now has a building linux-port 2.6.27 kernel :-)! |
|
[13:56] <BenC> NCommander: hey |
|
[13:56] <NCommander> Morning BenC :-) |
|
[13:56] <NCommander> I need some help resolving one last issue with linux-ports-meta before intrepid goes. I discovered this morning that linux-ports-meta doesn't depend on linux-firmware |
|
[13:58] <NCommander> BenC, care to help? |
|
[14:17] <NCommander> BenC, poke? |
|
[14:21] <Keybuk> rtg: which ftrace options did you change? |
|
[14:23] <rtg> Keybuk: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-intrepid.git;a=commit;h=67d9b90a1c844bf1c6daaffd2c60561fc8c445f7 |
|
[14:24] <BenC> NCommander: Ok |
|
[14:24] * NCommander has a git patch, but is somewhat confused by the current linux-ports-meta package |
|
[14:25] <Keybuk> the explanation doesn't really make sense though |
|
[14:25] <Keybuk> it blames a bug on module _unload_ |
|
[14:25] <Keybuk> when we're not unloading modules |
|
[14:25] <Keybuk> (both for e1000 and iwl3945) |
|
[14:25] <mjg59> Keybuk: also discarding of init sections |
|
[14:25] <Keybuk> mjg59: -v ? |
|
[14:25] <mjg59> Keybuk: The ftrace issue also arises when the __init sections of modules are discarded after module load |
|
[14:27] <Keybuk> I guess that certainly fits the pattern of where the iwl3945 hang was occurring |
|
[14:29] <rtg> Keybuk: can you reproduce it anymore? |
|
[14:29] <Keybuk> nope |
|
[14:30] <rtg> Keybuk: well, I guess that's proof positive. |
|
[14:30] <Keybuk> something about the way iwl3945 works was causing corruption of ioremapped memory if another module's __init was discarded while it was initialising ?? |
|
[14:32] <rtg> Keybuk: got me. I didn't dig into it nearly that deep. |
|
[14:36] <Keybuk> me neither, I don't really understand this level of stuff ;) |
|
[14:36] <Keybuk> I could go and learn, but I'm more inclined to nod sweetly, back away, and stay in my comfort zone :p |
|
[14:37] <rtg> Keybuk: that's pretty much my attitude. I'm buried with other issues. |
|
[14:37] <rtg> there seems to be plenty of confirmation that this fixes it. |
|
[14:37] * NCommander needs someone who has no fear to help fix the -ports-meta package |
|
[14:38] <Keybuk> obviously someone should post to lkml that disabling ftrace has fixed another issue with another Intel driver ;) |
|
[14:39] <rtg> Keybuk: i bugged the wireless folks last week about it, so I'll at least let them know what the solution was. |
|
[14:43] <BenC> NCommander: A Git patch? |
|
[14:48] <NCommander> BenC, linux-ports-meta is maintained in git |
|
[14:48] <NCommander> (aka git format-patchs) |
|
=== lamont` is now known as lamont |
|
[14:50] <BenC> NCommander: hmm...not sure why, but ok |
|
[14:51] <Keybuk> rtg: is there a bug about the iwl3945 kill switch state not changing in userspace? |
|
[14:51] <rtg> Keybuk: yep. hang on... |
|
[14:52] <rtg> Keybuk: probably this one: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/linux/+bug/193970 |
|
[14:52] <NCommander> BenC, I just made a realization; the ports kernel still has the firmwares compiled in as blobs so that change is unnecessary :-) |
|
[14:52] <rtg> Keybuk: I think slangasek uploaded something in pm-utils to accommodate a sysfs change. |
|
[14:53] <BenC> NCommander: that doesn't pull in the linux-firmware stuff |
|
[14:53] <NCommander> BenC, I don't think its needed unless I'm mistaken |
|
[14:54] <BenC> NCommander: probably not...what about qla or aic scsi firmware? |
|
[14:54] <NCommander> BenC, TBH, I dunno. My powerpc doesn't have any devices that requires firmware |
|
[14:55] <NCommander> BenC, I have the patch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/60124/ |
|
[15:02] <BenC> NCommander: You don't want to add it to linux |
|
[15:02] <BenC> NCommander: It needs to be added to linux-image-* if anything |
|
[15:02] <NCommander> BenC, that's how it was changed in linux-lpia ... |
|
[15:03] <BenC> NCommander: then linux-lpia did it wrong :) Check linux-meta |
|
[15:03] <NCommander> Ah |
|
[15:03] <NCommander> I see |
|
[15:03] <NCommander> BenC, in that case, care to sponsor two commits, and two sponsors ;-)? |
|
[15:06] <NCommander> BenC, http://paste.ubuntu.com/60126/ |
|
[15:22] <NCommander> Woo, linux-ports 2.6.27 on PowerPC builds! |
|
[15:44] <NCommander> BenC, is my patch ok? |
|
[15:49] <BenC> NCommander: best to ask someone who is actually handling that tree...I don't know enough about it |
|
[15:51] * NCommander looks up Stefan Bader's IRC name |
|
[15:52] <rtg> NCommander: smb, but he doesn't appear to be around this morning. |
|
[15:53] <NCommander> argh |
|
[15:53] * BenC wonders where he is |
|
[15:53] * NCommander turns on the smb light |
|
[15:54] * NCommander hopes he'll see the Critical bug on linux-ports-meta |
|
[16:04] <NCommander> BenC, out of curosity, what are the requirements of getting a kernel.u.c account |
|
[16:34] <BenC> NCommander: Not much...I'll get your account processed today or tomorrow |
|
[16:34] <BenC> NCommander: inbox is flooded from weekend |
|
[17:05] <G__81> i am interested in being part of kernel team. How can i help |
|
[17:05] <G__81> i have some linux internal knowledge on how networking subsystem works to an extent. I have one system and have installed Ibex 8.10 in Ibex |
|
[17:13] <rtg> G__81: start here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam and here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMaintenance. Also subscribe to the kernel team mailing list. |
|
[17:14] <rtg> here are the list of bugs that need working on: http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogasawara/intrepid-buglist.html |
|
[17:18] <G__81> Yeah thanks i would look into it |
|
=== thegodfather is now known as fabbione |
|
[21:01] <mnemo> if you cherry pick this 2.6.28 patch for intrepid you will enable users with intel G45 motherboards to boot the ibex --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/285572 |
|
[21:02] <mnemo> i've tested this patch applied to intrepid's .27 kernel and it works perfectly (instead of freeze on xorg login I get full compiz with no xorg.conf hacks) |
|
[21:02] <mnemo> I tested it on a "Gigabyte GA-EG45M-DS2" board but I'm fairly sure it applies to all the G45 desktop motherboards |
|
[21:03] <mnemo> the patch itself is very non-intrusive and doesn't modify any code on non-G45 code paths |
|
[21:38] <Ng> rtg: I think my boot crash is sorted now, just did 31 reboots with 2.6.27-7.12 and it didn't happen |
|
[21:40] <Ng> did the weird 3965 crash disappear as well? |
|
[23:52] <doctormo> Do you guys know about the regression in 2.6.24-21-generic? involves snd_hda_intel and snd_hda_codec missing symbols. |
|
[23:54] <doctormo> lamont: because it's a bitch to have to recompile the kernel to fix the problem. |
