[Bug 1695736] Re: fails to run: support missing from kernel

2017-06-05 Thread Paul H. Hargrove
Adam, Lack of a blcr-dkms package in Zesty likely means that BLCR does not support kernels as new as used in this distro (unless it has been renamed?). Unfortunately, that means no BLCR. So, I am surprised that the other blcr packages are distributed at all. I am the "upstream" for BLCR, but I

Adam, Is the blcr-dkms package installed? That is the ubuntu package containing the kernel modules. FWIW: blcr-dkms is not listed as dependency for the blcr package because that would create an unwarranted dependency for multiple MPI packages which are built with BLCR support but most

Adam, This error indicates that the kernel modules for BLCR are not loaded. Unless something has changed recently in the packaging for BLCR, the kernel modules should be loaded automatically at boot. However, if you have not rebooted since the install, they might not be. Is you run

Joni-Pekka, For those folk that saw this error when upgrading their system, but only had BLCR's kernel modules installed due to a recommends from another package, removal of the blcr-dkms package was (and still is) a viable solution. For those who need a *functional* BLCR, it was initially

Ahh... I see the real problem now: The standard-specified type is siginfo_t, not struct siginfo, though that has *historically* been correct with glibc and is still the type on the kernel side of the interface. I think the include of stddef.h is proper, even if it is not the key issue here,

The error in comment #5 above is somewhat suspicious. The symbol CR_ASM_SI_PID_OFFSET is a preprocessor define in the configure-generated blcr_config.h. Therefore a small literal integer (such as 12 or 16) should have been expanded in place of this token, and there should be no symbol left for

The log attached by bdrung contains the following: checking for value for CR_ASM_SI_PID_OFFSET... not found for both the 64- and 32-bit library configuration steps. This explains how the suspicious linker failure is possible (no #define in blcr_config.h). This presumably means that there is

Following up on my own comment with an educated guess: I can see looking at the generated configure script that the compiler might be seeing multiple #defines for offsetof() when including stdio.h and stdlib.h as part of the autoconf macro boilerplate. That could result in a failure to compile

Using the karmic -rt kernel headers I can confirm that this is the only symbol causing configure-time problems. The one-line patch below is sufficient to resolve that issue. However, there are also non-trivial changes in linux/semaphore.h that break things at compile time and will take some time

OK, that was not as bad as I had feared. This attachment makes two minor changes to BLCR that are sufficient for me to manually (e.g. not using DKMS) configure and build for the linux-2.6.31-9-rt kernel for Karmic/x86_64. These changes are such that I think it highly unlikely to break any other

The DKMSBuildLog.txt appears to show gcc (or maybe make?) experiencing a SIGSEGV. This is not something that changes to the BLCR kernel module are likely to fix. I suggest that you first ensure that the gcc and make packages are up- to-date. -Paul (the primary BLCR developer) -- package

Alan said Seems odd that it would end up missing those macros. For the curious: At about 2.6.26 the type struct mutex was replaced by struct semaphore, and the various mutex-related functions and macros were implemented in terms of wrappers around the semaphore code. These wrappers still exist
