mwhudsonhello00:49
mwhudsoni am trying to build a kernel from git00:49
mwhudson(on armhf)00:50
mwhudsonand getting bales of /root/linux-linaro-tracking/net/sunrpc/auth_gss/svcauth_gss.c:1328: undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard' type errors00:50
mwhudsondo i need to do something to disable stack protection in gcc?00:50
lifelesshttp://osdir.com/ml/linux-kernel/2009-02/msg04270.html00:54
lifelessstack protection is in the kernel itself it seems00:54
lifelessI'm sure I'm reading that naively :)00:54

erle-may i ask you a somewhat intimate question?08:00
erle-does really anybody here use unity?08:01
hyperairyes08:10
hyperairi do.08:10
hyperairbut why come to the kernel channel for trolling about unity?08:10
ohsixo noes you did it now08:11

abhishekI want to run Ubuntu Desktop on the device which is having Android ...Please help me09:13
ckingabhishek, perhaps try #ubuntu-desktop with that question09:16
abhishekcking: ok ....09:17
abhishekcking: Can you please give me some guildlines anyways09:17
RAOFYou're immediate problems are going to be: lack of OpenGL drivers and lack of X drivers.09:17

cerhi there .... I think I found a bug in the kubuntu / ubuntu kernel but I need to have a chat to confirm before logging.12:34
ceranyway, there seems to be some problem with setting the frequency of some Core 2 Xtreme CPUs .... 12:34
cerso I recompiled the kernel without intel_pstate support and everything else as module using the classic debian system12:34
cerand modprobing each module one by one and then debugging .... it turns out that p4_clockmod is loading, but return wrong frequency reading (as it should) and recommends acpi-cpufreq12:34
cerbut acpi-cpufreq does not actaully load, because one of the checks says that the CPU is not supported (which is incorrect). I think the bug may be in the acpi-cpufreq module.12:35
cerwhat do you think?12:35

mwhudsonlifeless: yes, that much makes sense, doesn't help me know how to make the error go away though :)15:41

infinitymwhudson: I'm one of those things.15:51
mwhudsoninfinity: is there some trick to building kernels from git on armhf to avoid linker errors about stack protection?15:52
mwhudsoni noticed some mention of gcc 4.7 somewhere so i'm trying that now...15:53
rtgapw, pushed trusty master-next with all of the packaging done. no tag yet.15:53
infinitymwhudson: -UFORTIFY_SOURCE, I'd assume.15:54
infinitymwhudson: But I would have thought the kernel makefiles did that by default.15:54
mwhudsonhmm15:55
mwhudsonthere is some of that, but only in a few places15:55
mwhudsonand only for user space stuff15:55
apwrtg, great15:56
mwhudson(i'm building 3.11 + sprinkles, fwiw)15:57
mwhudsoninfinity: build with gcc 4.7 completed16:00

apwmwhudson, mostly we use older gccs for the arm kernels indeed16:02
rtgppisati, have you built and booted trusty on armhf with gcc-4.8 ? so far the compiler has been pinned to gcc-4.7.16:03
mwhudsonapw: now i know why :)16:04
ppisatirtg: let me check the gcc version16:07
rtgppisati, I know we're building with -4.7 right now, but I'm thinking about building with the default version16:08
rtgdebian.master/rules.d/armhf.mk:gcc              = gcc-4.716:09
ppisatirtg: when i do some quick test using linus tree, im compiling with 4.816:10
rtgppisati, ok, I'll assume for now that -4.8 can generate a bootable kernel16:10
bjfppisati, were you going to rebase omap4 kernels for this sru cycle?16:26
ppisatibjf: ouch, i'll do16:28
backjlackHello.16:38
backjlackI've reported a while ago that I was having problems after having upgraded to kernel 3.2.0-53 on Ubuntu 12.04 amd64.16:39
backjlackThe machine wasn't booting properly into the OS, it was just showing a blinking cursor. This is still an issue.16:39
apwbackjlack, what was the bug number16:41
backjlackapw: I haven't opened any bug because it's not clear whether it's a bug or just some kind of OS issue triggered by the update to 3.2.0-53+.16:42
backjlackI'll just try 3.5 to see if that fixes it.16:44
rtgjsalisbury, re: bug #1245938 - please have that guy try the stable mainline kernel(s). his NIC really ought to be functional.16:45

erle-jsalisbury, new observation: when i suspend with "sudo pm-suspend", no freeze18:29
erle-maybe it is not the kernel18:29
erle-maybe something with X18:29
erle-with screen locking and so on18:29
erle-jsalisbury, after more tests i will report to launchpad18:29
jsalisburyerle-, thanks for the info18:31
apwjibel, we just dumped a new trusty kernel into the ckt PPA, will that auto fire new dkms tests ?18:46

* mwhudson is now confused that perf ever worked on arm3221:38
rtgjsalisbury, rebooting gomeisa for kernel update22:04
apwmwhudson, i od't think it was even built for the longest time, and done wrong often22:04
mwhudsonapw: it worked for a while for me in raring22:05
mwhudsonbut doesn't for me now22:05
mwhudsonand i even sort of know why22:05

rtgjjohansen, AceLan: rebooting tangerine for kernel update22:34
mwhudsonapw: the MMAP events that perf synthesizes at start up put the last module processed as taking up from its start in /proc/modules up until the end of the address space22:45
mwhudsonapw: and despite this being something the user space tool does, it seems that it's actually a question of which kernel is running22:45
mwhudsonoh oh22:58
mwhudsonis this because /proc/kallsyms now starts with a symbol with an address of 0?22:58
