| NCommander | amitk, ping | 06:07 |
|---|---|---|
| NCommander | How does updateconfigs work? (i.e., I don't get how the common config is generated ...) | 07:30 |
| amitk | NCommander: if you add a new Kconfig option, running updateconfigs will prompt you for that config option for all flavours | 08:37 |
| NCommander | amitk, I got that far :-) | 08:38 |
| NCommander | amitk, its more figuring out what the configuration options should be on the new ones :-) | 08:38 |
| * 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 | 08:39 | |
| 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 | 08:40 |
| NCommander | amitk, find out about the kernel.u.c. account? | 08:41 |
| * NCommander would like a place to hang his tree | 08:41 | |
| amitk | NCommander: will shoot off email today | 08:45 |
| NCommander | \o\ /o/ | 08:45 |
| 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 ;.;) | 08:46 |
| 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) | 08:52 |
| NCommander | WOOOOOO | 08:54 |
| NCommander | finally | 08:54 |
| NCommander | rebased | 08:54 |
| 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) | 08:57 |
| abogani | Nafallo: Build process generate it automatically | 09:01 |
| abogani | Nafallo: Sorry | 09:01 |
| abogani | I meant NCommander :-) | 09:01 |
| NCommander | ah | 09:01 |
| 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? | 09:02 |
| NCommander | amitk, ^ | 09:21 |
| amitk | NCommander: any patch that isn't upstream yet (those that _should_ go upstream + those that will never go upstream) | 09:27 |
| NCommander | amitk, oh, that makes sense, anyway, 2.6.27 is building via debuild, so I haven't completely destoried the world yet ;-) | 09:28 |
| === mdz_ is now known as mdz | ||
| === _ruben_ is now known as _ruben | ||
| NCommander | amitk, hola | 10:39 |
| mdz | it looks like 263059 may have been caused by ftrace | 10:55 |
| === asac_ is now known as asac | ||
| NCommander | amitk, I just discovered linux-ports-meta doesn't depend on linux-firmware. Care to help fix that? | 11:17 |
| === D2_WON is now known as giovannigiusti | ||
| NCommander | hey BenC | 13:39 |
| * NCommander now has a building linux-port 2.6.27 kernel :-)! | 13:53 | |
| 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 | 13:56 |
| NCommander | BenC, care to help? | 13:58 |
| NCommander | BenC, poke? | 14:17 |
| Keybuk | rtg: which ftrace options did you change? | 14:21 |
| rtg | Keybuk: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-intrepid.git;a=commit;h=67d9b90a1c844bf1c6daaffd2c60561fc8c445f7 | 14:23 |
| BenC | NCommander: Ok | 14:24 |
| * NCommander has a git patch, but is somewhat confused by the current linux-ports-meta package | 14:24 | |
| 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 | 14:25 |
| Keybuk | I guess that certainly fits the pattern of where the iwl3945 hang was occurring | 14:27 |
| rtg | Keybuk: can you reproduce it anymore? | 14:29 |
| Keybuk | nope | 14:29 |
| 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 ?? | 14:30 |
| rtg | Keybuk: got me. I didn't dig into it nearly that deep. | 14:32 |
| 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 | 14:36 |
| 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 | 14:37 | |
| Keybuk | obviously someone should post to lkml that disabling ftrace has fixed another issue with another Intel driver ;) | 14:38 |
| rtg | Keybuk: i bugged the wireless folks last week about it, so I'll at least let them know what the solution was. | 14:39 |
| BenC | NCommander: A Git patch? | 14:43 |
| NCommander | BenC, linux-ports-meta is maintained in git | 14:48 |
| NCommander | (aka git format-patchs) | 14:48 |
| === lamont` is now known as lamont | ||
| BenC | NCommander: hmm...not sure why, but ok | 14:50 |
| Keybuk | rtg: is there a bug about the iwl3945 kill switch state not changing in userspace? | 14:51 |
| rtg | Keybuk: yep. hang on... | 14:51 |
| 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. | 14:52 |
| 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 | 14:53 |
| 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 | 14:54 |
| NCommander | BenC, I have the patch: http://paste.ubuntu.com/60124/ | 14:55 |
| 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 ... | 15:02 |
| 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 ;-)? | 15:03 |
| NCommander | BenC, http://paste.ubuntu.com/60126/ | 15:06 |
| NCommander | Woo, linux-ports 2.6.27 on PowerPC builds! | 15:22 |
| NCommander | BenC, is my patch ok? | 15:44 |
| BenC | NCommander: best to ask someone who is actually handling that tree...I don't know enough about it | 15:49 |
| * NCommander looks up Stefan Bader's IRC name | 15:51 | |
| rtg | NCommander: smb, but he doesn't appear to be around this morning. | 15:52 |
| NCommander | argh | 15:53 |
| * BenC wonders where he is | 15:53 | |
| * NCommander turns on the smb light | 15:53 | |
| * NCommander hopes he'll see the Critical bug on linux-ports-meta | 15:54 | |
| NCommander | BenC, out of curosity, what are the requirements of getting a kernel.u.c account | 16:04 |
| BenC | NCommander: Not much...I'll get your account processed today or tomorrow | 16:34 |
| BenC | NCommander: inbox is flooded from weekend | 16:34 |
| 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 | 17:05 |
| 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. | 17:13 |
| rtg | here are the list of bugs that need working on: http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogasawara/intrepid-buglist.html | 17:14 |
| G__81 | Yeah thanks i would look into it | 17:18 |

| 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 | 21:01 |
| 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 | 21:02 |
| mnemo | the patch itself is very non-intrusive and doesn't modify any code on non-G45 code paths | 21:03 |
| 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 | 21:38 |
| Ng | did the weird 3965 crash disappear as well? | 21:40 |
| doctormo | Do you guys know about the regression in 2.6.24-21-generic? involves snd_hda_intel and snd_hda_codec missing symbols. | 23:52 |
| doctormo | lamont: because it's a bitch to have to recompile the kernel to fix the problem. | 23:54 |
