[11:35] <apw> leitao (N,BFTL), no, ppc64el is not compatible with 7.2 without patching right now
[11:35] <apw> gcc 7.2
[13:25] <tseliot> apw: hi, can you approve nvidia-graphics-drivers-384 in artful NEW, please?
[13:26] <apw> tseliot, will look shortly
[13:26] <tseliot> apw: thanks!
[13:40] <apw> tseliot, does this only upgrade -375, does it not also upgrade -367?  are you relying on the chain there ?
[13:41] <tseliot> apw: yes, it only upgrades 375. 375 had transitional packages for 367
[13:41] <tseliot> which should still be there in the archive
[13:52] <apw> tseliot, and done
[13:52] <tseliot> apw: thanks a lot!
[13:55] <apw> tseliot, and it has cratered on armhf
[13:55] <apw> sed: can't read NVIDIA-Linux-armv7l-gnueabihf-384.90/nvidia_icd.json.template: No such file or directory
[13:55] <tseliot> apw: let me check
[13:56] <tseliot> oh
[13:56] <tseliot> so they only introduced the change on x86 and x86_64
[13:56] <tseliot> I'll fix it
[14:19] <tseliot> apw: 384.90-0ubuntu2 fixes that on armhf
[14:39] <tjaalton> apw: I should probably upload the oem kernel to xenial NEW..
[14:39] <tjaalton> soon
[14:39] <apw> tjaalton, you would need to upload it to the CKT PPA
[14:39] <apw> so it gets built right
[14:45] <tjaalton> ah, ok
[15:04] <leitao_> It seems that mainline ppc64el kernels are failing to build
[15:04] <leitao_> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.14-rc3/
[15:05] <leitao_> I am wondering if this is a toolchain being more strict issue.
[15:06] <apw> leitao_, yes, it is the compiler being more strict, i think sforshee sent a fix for that somewhere
[15:06] <leitao_> nice.
[15:08] <leitao_> sforshee, is it a kernel issue? If so, I can pester the powerpc maintainer to get it accepted. 
[15:10] <apw> leitao_, we definatly applied something to the kernel source to avoid/fix the issue
[15:11] <leitao_> apw, but it does not fix the mainline builds, right?
[15:12] <apw> nope, they will need the fix to land upstream, or some manual action
[15:12] <apw> them failing is an indicator that the mainline kernel is broke
[15:38] <leitao_> apw, by the way, did you see that there is a regression on artful/master-next on P9?
[15:40] <apw> leitao_, got a pointer to the regresion ?
[15:41] <leitao_> apw, yes
[15:41] <leitao_> sent to the kernel-team mailing list.
[15:41] <leitao_> apw, "[Artful][PATCH 03/16] powerpc/perf: Add nest IMC PMU support"
[15:42] <leitao_> A patchset that we sent and it seems broken
[15:42] <leitao_> a full revert would be ideal
[15:42] <apw> sforshee, ^
[15:45] <apw> leitao, well damn that is poor timing
[15:46] <leitao> apw, :-|
[15:46] <leitao> apw,  and it breaks it completely, not even booting a p9. 
[15:47] <apw> leitao, how did that get past testing, given it is a patchset for P9
[15:48] <leitao> apw, that is a question we are trying to understand internally. 
[15:48] <leitao> Gustavo said he tested and it worked. 
[15:48] <leitao> But I was not sure if he enabled the CONFIG_VAS option
[15:48] <leitao> which really enables the feature.
[15:48] <apw> leitao, anyhow, i'll poke people to sort that out, as right now the kernel planned for the final kernel for artful has that junk applied
[15:49] <leitao> apw, ok!
[15:52] <leitao> apw, sorry about it again. We are addressing it internally. This must never happen and it will certainly bring a lot of burden to you.
[15:52] <apw> leitao, it is particularly painful as this is the last upload for artful, for kernel freeze
[15:53] <leitao> apw, yup
[18:26] <sforshee> leitao: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170928133340.19312-1-seth.forshee@canonical.com is the patch I sent for the boot regression
[18:27] <sforshee> leitao: I'll revert that series and respin artful
[18:28] <sforshee> leitao: sorry, for the build regression
[18:28] <leitao> sforshee, sorry for the regression. :-)
[18:29] <leitao> sforshee, I am not sure if powerpc maintainer will find you patch at LKML. They usually look at the powerpc subsystem. 
[18:29] <leitao> let me pester him with it.
[18:29] <sforshee> leitao: I sent it to the linuxppc-dev list, maintainers also included too
[18:29] <sforshee> but also to lkml
[18:29] <leitao> ah, ok!
[18:30] <sforshee> that's just the easiest way to give a link, I only need the message id
[18:31] <sforshee> leitao: also http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170928133426.19454-1-seth.forshee@canonical.com for a selftest build failure
[18:31] <leitao> sforshee, just pestered the powerpc maintainer. I hope to have a review by tomorrow
[18:31] <sforshee> both of those are because of a new compiler
[18:32] <leitao> yea. these compiler guys.... :-P
[20:47] <sforshee> leitao_: you still around?
[20:47] <leitao_> sforshee, I am
[20:47] <sforshee> leitao_: okay, let me double check with you which commits I should revert
[20:48] <leitao_> sforshee, I would revert the whole series. It seems to be completely broken.
[20:48] <sforshee> what I did was the ones for bug 1718293
[20:48] <leitao_> I understand that disabling VAS=y would also work
[20:48] <leitao_> sforshee, that is the bug.
[20:48] <sforshee> but I wonder if the ones for bug 1718292 should also be reverted or not
[20:49] <leitao_> sforshee, were patches from 1718292 commited?
[20:50] <leitao_> nm, it seems so.
[20:50] <sforshee> yeah
[20:51] <leitao_> sforshee, I do not know, let me try to discover.
[20:51] <sforshee> thanks
[21:01] <leitao_> sforshee, you will need to revert 1718292 also.
[21:06] <sforshee> leitao_: ack, thanks
