tjaalton4.4.0-24.43 isn't tagged yet but already in updates?08:29
apwtjaalton, that would be an error, it is cirtainly tagged08:31
apwtjaalton, and my git repo says it is pushed08:32
apwtjaalton, though of course it is "off" the mainline because it is an emergency kernel08:32
apwtjaalton, so you need some git fetch --tags action08:32
smbapw, though that only gets me to -2208:34
tjaaltonah08:35
tjaaltonyep fetch --tags shows it08:36
apwsmb, that only gets you master at -2208:36
apwsmb, it also gets you tags for -2408:36
smbapw, right both08:36
apwwhich is the new norm, that master only gets the latest released kerenl08:36
apwtjaalton, thats a limitation in the way git fetches tags, they are only automatically offered if a head you fetch points at them08:37
smbapw, oh darn. nm I fell victim to rmadisons sort order08:37
smbthough xenial-updates semms to be -2408:38
apwsmb, yeah they are actually in sort order08:38
apwsmb, right, but also kamal has not yet merged back all the security updates, there being 40 odd packages to sort08:38
apwsmb, so master is behind, but ... i did make sure the tags were pushed08:38
tjaaltonapw: right, none of the current branches have that tag so it wasn't fetched08:39
bdrung_workhi apw. can you "share" launchpad bug #1233466 with your "friends"?10:06
ubot5Launchpad bug 1233466 in linux (Ubuntu) "Hot-Add Memory failing for lack of udev rule" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/123346610:06
bdrung_work;)10:06
pittibdrung_work, apw: so I have some objection to adding a rule like SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ACTION=="add", DEVPATH=="/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]*", TEST=="online", ATTR{online}="1"10:06
pittithis is just plain stupid10:06
pittiwe woudl unconditinoally change a kernel default in userspace10:06
pittiif we actually want this, then this shuold just *be* the default10:06
bdrung_workudev upstream has the same opinion: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7847810:06
ubot5Freedesktop bug 78478 in general "Please add CPU and memory hotplug udev rules" [Normal,Resolved: notourbug]10:06
pittiso IMHO this is a case of "change the kernel default", not "set default A here and B there"10:07
pitti(I have no strong objection for doing this as an SRU, just for devel)10:07
apwi am going to guess that upstream kernel will say exactly the same thing in inverse10:09
apwthat adding memeory at the h/w level does not mean it is time to add it to the kernel pool10:09
pittiwell, that's not a contradictory argument10:09
apwthat that is a userspace decision, and therefore an administrator decision10:09
pittiI wasn't saying that the above behaviour is desirable/right10:09
pittijust that an unconditional rule doesn't make sense10:10
pittiwe currently have this conditionalized only on Hyper-V (or some MS thing)10:10
apwi concur completely with that indeed10:10
apwthis feels like a sprint kind of thing, with a handy sprint10:10
pittiso if the kernel's opinion is that hotplugged CPUs should not immediately be used, then we shoudln't add that udev rule either10:10
pittiI mean, obviously people stuff CPUs into machines because.. they don't want to use them :)10:11
pitti(j/k, there might be good reasons)10:11
pittiapw: sprint> so that we can improve our arguing by throwing candy around, clearly!10:12
apwyeah, in a real machine i can see you don't want it till you are ready, there might be risk involved10:13
* pitti is looking forward to next week, I'm starting to get seriously under-hopped10:13
pitti("hop'ed"? "hoped"?)10:13
pittiapw: ah, so maybe we might want to limit that to VMs only?10:14
* bdrung_work nods. Not onlinening CPU and RAM in a virtual machine make no sense.10:15
pittiwell, for that we'd first need to understand why it wouldn't make sense on a real machine10:15
apwin a VM you are almost cirtainely want it now and instantly10:15
apwwell there is risk that those new cpus are not good, tehy are real and /w10:16
apwh/w so ... they may go in without incident but you migt pick a quiet time to online them10:16
apwmaybe10:16
pittiok10:16
pittiso then I like https://launchpadlibrarian.net/264002433/0001-Enable-CPU-and-RAM-hotplug-on-QEMU.patch better than https://launchpadlibrarian.net/264364580/0001-Enable-CPU-and-RAM-hotplug-on-QEMU.patch10:16
apwthen again opening the box is risky too, so ... its all a bit pants10:16
bdrung_workif you risk hotplugging a real CPU, you probably want to risk onlining it at the same time.10:19
apwits the probabally part, so it needs to be at least controllable10:32

xnoxapw, libseccomp is crazy16:17
apwxnox, most likley, it _is_ designed by security people16:21
xnoxapw, so "kernel" fixed the crazy __PNR numbers for x32/i386/x86_6416:22
xnoxyet libseccomp looses it's mind between name - positive integer - fake numbers16:23
xnoxdoesn't round trip them16:23
xnoxand expects accept4 & 364 to result in different filtering results... which are the same syscall in new world order16:24
xnoxhttps://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp/pull/41 & https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp/issues/4016:26
apwsounds like you ahve a whole heap of fun to deal with16:26
xnoxi wonder if i'll just backout sync to "v4.5 syscall table"16:28
xnoxor e.g. i need v4.5 kernel.....16:29
apwits not at all clear how that works in the real world, moving calls around the syscall16:32
apwtable, sounds like an abi violation16:32
jtaylorhi, I lost sound with the -24 xenial kernel update, the -22 my old one still works, is this already known?17:13
apwjtaylor, not that i am aware of17:17
jtaylorhm I'll file a bug then17:23
jtaylorI guess ubuntu-bug linux will put in all necessary logs?17:23
ali1234there's one specifically for sound17:23
ali1234"ubuntu-bug audio"17:24
jtaylork thanks, rebooting back to the broken kernel17:25
jtaylorweird now its working again, so nevermind I guess17:38
apwjtaylor, oddness18:40
