| BenC | apw: FYI, the ethernet drivers for the freescale ppc hardware I use have finally sarted to hit mainline. I’d like to be able to reintroduce the kernel configs for them (two configs, one powerpc, the other powerpc64) for yakity. | 11:31 |
|---|---|---|
| apw | BenC, did we remove some flavours? | 12:33 |
| BenC | I know e500 is gone, and that’s perfectly fine with me. | 12:36 |
| BenC | Speaking of flavours… | 12:36 |
| BenC | rtg: Does e500mc still get built? | 12:37 |
| BenC | Do you guys not use kernel.ubuntu.com git anymore? | 12:37 |
| apw | those names are not great, they are generic to all freescale things right? a 32 and 64 bit variant thereof ? | 12:37 |
| rtg | BenC, powerpc-smp powerpc64-smp powerpc-e500mc powerpc64-emb | 12:38 |
| BenC | Ok. | 12:38 |
| BenC | So the e500mc can be generalized a bit, but it doesn’t cover all 32-bit freescale (now nxp, btw) | 12:39 |
| BenC | e500 is soft-float, so needs a special kernel, but it’s also not used in any general production compete systems that I’m aware of. | 12:39 |
| rtg | BenC, we do still use kernel.ubuntu.com, but its not a mirror. the primary is on LP | 12:39 |
| apw | ugg, soft-float is even, die die die | 12:39 |
| BenC | powerpc64-emb variant is generalized enough for all book3e | 12:39 |
| rtg | s/not/now/ | 12:39 |
| BenC | rtg: I didn’t notice that the git web listing is some 17 odd pages. I only looked at the first page | 12:40 |
| apw | BenC, yeah you should see all our trees on k.u.c but launchpad has tehm all now, and the cgit is quicker too | 12:40 |
| BenC | Anyway, e500mc can be renamed to powerpc-corenet, but I would need to verify the config has the correct things enabled to claim that | 12:41 |
| BenC | And I can verify that the fman drivers are enabled, since that’s improvement for the newer kernels | 12:41 |
| BenC | Took 5+ years, but they finally got their drivers upstream. | 12:42 |
| BenC | Any pull requests can be against: git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-yakkety.git ? | 12:43 |
| * BenC wishes you guys would just use github | 12:43 | |
| rtg | BenC, yeah, that is fine. I think the mirror runs every 30 minutes | 12:44 |
| apw | every 15m iirc, the master is | 12:44 |
| apw | https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/yakkety | 12:44 |
| xnox | BenC, you can create pull requests on launchpad =) | 12:45 |
| BenC | Shows how much I pay attention. I didn’t know lp had git support | 12:46 |
| xnox | BenC, that's been around for like a year, or maybe more, now. | 12:46 |
| rtg | BenC, hence the reason we don't use github. | 12:46 |
| === Elimin8r is now known as Elimin8er | ||
| BenC | rtg: Are you ok with renaming powerpc-e500mc to powerpc-corenet in kernel and meta? | 12:49 |
| BenC | I’m fairly certain I am the only user | 12:49 |
| apw | what does "corenet" mean in this namespace ? | 12:49 |
| BenC | It cover a class or Freescale QorIQ SoCs that are powerpc based with frame manager components | 12:50 |
| rtg | BenC, its a bit late in the process, isn't it ? | 12:50 |
| BenC | It also covers a class of Freescale QorIQ SoCs that are arm based, but I don’t touch those... | 12:50 |
| BenC | rtg: I was just hoping to make it less specific for apw’s concern, but I don’t have a preference. | 12:51 |
| BenC | It will work for e500v2 and e500mc | 12:52 |
| apw | i was hoping to discover we would need just two variants going forward, always | 12:52 |
| apw | musch as we now do for powerpc (IBM style for want of a name) | 12:52 |
| BenC | Unfortunately, freescale SoCs are book3e and not book3s as IBM/Apple powerpc processors are. | 12:52 |
| BenC | So it will have to always be a seperate kernel build | 12:53 |
| apw | BenC, right, i mean 32/64 for each of "ibmish" and "freescaleish" | 12:53 |
| BenC | For 64-bit, it is and can remain that way (the e in book3e is embedded, hence the powerpc64-emb) | 12:54 |
| apw | and there is no hope of that for powerpc-emb ? | 12:55 |
| BenC | No. I’ve been down that road with benh and neither he, myself, nor anyone else, wants to perform a ppc32/mmu kenrel reorg to make that happen, and some even say that it can’t be done anyway (technically impossible). | 12:56 |
| apw | BenC, so no single -emb 32 bit flavour, sigh | 13:12 |
| BenC | Yeah, unfortunately, it’s not the type of thing that is resolved with device trees | 13:13 |

| xnox | apw, i think i might be blind | 13:41 |
| xnox | I'm trying to find which git repository https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1572291 is committed to, if any | 13:42 |
| apw | xnox, ? | 13:42 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 1572291 in linux (Ubuntu Xenial) "s390/pci: add extra padding to function measurement block" [Critical,Fix committed] | 13:42 |
| xnox | and i'm failing | 13:42 |
| xnox | i looked at https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/+git | 13:42 |
| xnox | then found linux/+git/xenial and linux/+get/yakkety | 13:42 |
| xnox | yakkety doesn't have master-next branch | 13:42 |
| xnox | xenial master-next doesn't appear to have that commit | 13:42 |
| apw | rtg, ^ ? he might of course be right in the middle of applying it | 13:43 |
| apw | xnox, oh but there it is on xenial master-next | 13:43 |
| xnox | wait maybe found it | 13:43 |
| xnox | https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/xenial/commit/?h=master-next&id=ab72705a2737c90c03d24b91afa10ef1b7403448 | 13:43 |
| rtg | xnox, not doing anything with yakkety just yet | 13:43 |
| xnox | rtg, ok, cool. | 13:44 |
| xnox | i guess once there is yakkety kernel upload, the git forest of trees will look like typical bushes at that point. | 13:45 |
| apw | xnox, we work in xenail for a bit at this point and copy the kernel forard to yakkety, up till we have something which doesn't utterly stink | 13:46 |
| xnox | hehehe | 13:46 |
| xnox | = | 13:46 |
| xnox | =) | 13:46 |
| rtg | xnox, which could be 2-3 weeks yet | 13:47 |
| BenC | rtg: What’s the plan for yakkety’s kernel version? Is it moving past 4.4.x? | 14:26 |
| rtg | BenC, yup. I'm gonna get the latest one I can | 14:27 |
| apw | BenC, yep, it will move rather rapidly I am sure | 14:27 |
| === Laney is now known as trmsu | ||
| rtg | maybe even an -rc if it is that close | 14:27 |
| BenC | Ok. The updated drivers I’m looking at are in 4.5+, so I’ll hold off until then to review the config options | 14:27 |
| BenC | 4.6 is at rc5 as of today. Seems plausible for inclusion. | 14:28 |
| === willcooke is now known as wllck | ||
| apw | i'd be supprised if its not 4.7+ | 14:28 |
| BenC | If you see CONFIG_FSL_FMAN come up in the config review, you’ll want to enable it for e500mc and ppc64-emb, but I’ll be sure to verify after you guys sync it up. | 14:30 |
| BenC | It’s possible you want it for some arm kernels as well, but I can’t comment directly. | 14:30 |
| rtg | BenC, you could have a look at git://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-kernel/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/unstable which is what will become yakkety. I'm currently rebasing against 4.6-rc5 | 14:30 |
| BenC | Thanks, I’ll take a peak | 14:33 |
| BenC | rtg: Things look good there | 15:06 |
| BenC | But this: | 15:06 |
| BenC | config/config.common.ubuntu:CONFIG_FSL_FMAN=m | 15:06 |
| BenC | Needs to be made =y | 15:06 |
| BenC | Wait, I’m wrong. | 15:06 |
| BenC | It can be loaded as a module, but it wont unload, so that’s fine as-is | 15:06 |

| ben-8409 | hello, i think a have a regression with latest kernel version in 16.04 (4.4.0-21) and nvidia drivers. I already filed a bug, but i wanted to check if there is anything more i can do? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1574732 | 16:39 |

| ben-8409 | using grub to boot into an older release (4.4.0-18-generic) fixes the issue for me. | 16:39 |
