mamarleyIt looks like the AMD64 build of the 4.5.4 mainline kernel failed: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.5.4-yakkety/BUILD.LOG.amd6400:30
keeswe need a new x86_64 flavor that disables CONFIG_COMPAT. :)02:29
mamarleyAnother thing I have noticed is that the 4.6-rc mainline builds have CONFIG_GOLDFISH_BUS=y, which causes "genirq: Flags mismatch irq 4. 00000000 (serial) vs. 00000080 (goldfish_pdev_bus)" and breaks serial.02:33
apwmamarley, yep, nothing which builds in yakkety works right now, the compiler changed to enable pie by default08:52

mamarleyapw: How does it decide what to build on which distribution?10:09
apwmamarley, it is nominally version based.  the nearest ubuntu distribution to the version it is trying to build10:10
mamarleyAh, OK.10:11
apwmamarley, more accuratly the configurations it uses are from the nearest ubuntu release tag it can find, and it builds in the same release that that configuration came from10:11
mamarleySo this is the same bug that is preventing DKMS from compiling kernel modules on Yakkety?10:12
apwmamarley, yes the same one.  DKMS should start working with the next copy forward kernel from X, as we have fixed it there)10:13
apwmamarley, but that does not fix mainline builds whihc also do not yet have that patch applied10:13
apwchanging compiler defaults is bloody confusing to the world10:14
apwit is possible i can turn it off from outside, i've not yet tried that10:14
mamarleyapw: While I've got you, it also looks like CONFIG_GOLDFISH_BUS is enabled in the 4.6 kernel configuration.  I know I can't file a bug on it yet, but that driver attaches to the UART and breaks serial.10:17
apwmamarley, oh you can file a bug on it, indeed for something which breaks things a reason bug is always useful10:18
mamarleyAh, OK.  I will do that then.10:18
apwif you do it now and tell me the number i'll get ti changed and then any reruns we do will have it off (for the mainline builds)10:18

ubot5Ubuntu bug 1580960 in linux (Ubuntu) "Ubuntu-4.6.0-5.6 configuration has CONFIG_GOLDFISH and CONFIG_GOLDFISH_BUS enabled, breaking serial support on normal systems" [Undecided,New]10:26
apwwell that is special we have CONFIG_X86_GOLDFISH off, and CONFIG_GOLDFISH which _depends_ on it and therefore cannot be y unless it is, is y10:42
apwwhich is kinda impossible in theory10:42
apwand yet is not impossible in practice apparenlty10:42
mamarleyYeah, it looked weird.  It definitely breaks serial though.10:44
mamarleyI guess the configuration will just need to manually specify "n" for all the goldfish stuff then?10:46
apwyep fixing it isn't the issue, trying to work out why the thing has not self-healed like it should10:48
apwmamarley, ok pushed for when i get the other fixes in10:52
mamarleyThanks :)10:52
apwi suppose i could switch all yakkety builds back to xenial or something in the interim10:54
mamarleyapw: Yeah, that would at least keep them working for now.11:01
apwand my inbox full of people moaning they are on the wrong version11:01
apwthen agian it is going to be full of people moaning they don't work anyhow11:01
mamarleySilly people :/11:02
* ricotz is happily using the 4.6 builds from kernel ppa with nvidia blob11:32
mamarleyYeah, the -wily ones build amd64 and work fine, unless you have a device attached to a built-in serial port.  That should be fixed for the next one though.11:32
mamarleyAnd that should be this weekend, unless the switch from building on Yakkety to Xenial rebuilds the ones that have already been built.11:34
mamarley(Since 4,6 will be released officially this weekend, unless Linus changes his mind.)11:34
apwmamarley, i may have fixed the pie issue, am rebuilding a 4.6-rc7 to find out12:07
mamarleyThanks :)12:07
apwmamarley, and those rebuilds look better13:02
mamarleyYay!13:44
