Bug#406166: linux-image-2.6.18-3-k7: Kernel BUG appeared in syslog [rt.ursine.ca #540]

2007-01-09 Thread Paul Johnson
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-k7
Version: 2.6.18-8
Severity: normal

I received a rather severe looking kernel BUG in my syslog after
playing UT2004.  The gaming session ended around the time the BUG
appeared in the syslog, with the game locking up completely, freezing
in place.  I was able to successfully restart X.org with A-C-Bksp
without any apparent ill effects to the system.

 you may also want to try build the user-mode-linux from source
 by yourself, eg:

 apt-get source user-mode-linux
 cd user-mode-*;
 dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -b -rfakeroot

 I think I'll download this and try it.  But I would imagine I
 first need to compile the UML kernel?  Oh well, lots of fun.  :-)

No, this is taken care by the package itself, IOW the user-mode-linux
debian's package contains the UML kernel.

The kernel is tainted. You have to reproduce this without proprietary
modules.

Bug#406181: linux-2.6: RAID1 repair is broken

2007-01-09 Thread Michel Lespinasse
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.18-8
Severity: normal


This is a followup to an issue initially reported to the mdadm package 
as bug 405919. As there is really a separate kernel issue, Martin asked 
me to file a separate bug.

The RAID1 repair process is currently a no-op. The upstream maintainer 
for the kernel MD driver sent a patch which worked for me:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=405919;msg=17

Regarding the other kernel issue I had reported under bug 405919
(inverted cmd_match(page, repair) condition), note that it's already
fixed in debian's kernel version.

 I suggest we get rid of kernel-package in the linux-2.6 build
 process ASAP, because it keeps breaking linux-2.6 builds on most if
 not every upstream release(-candidate).

If it is indeed kernel-package that is breaking at every
 upstream release, can you mention the bug numbers associated with the
 breakages?

It is not at all apparent to me that kernel-package is as
 buggy as it would appear from the tone above. For example, what is
 the current problem with k-p, in your view?

Heh. This is typical of the usual k-p bashing.  The build logs
 for i386 show that the error occurred here:

`

Which is not k-p code, but  seems like linux-2.6 code.  But,
 of course, k-p is to blame, and must be removed from the build
 process.

Why do I even bother?

Our own code fails with:

It tries to remove something which should be there always.
Some lines up, the kernel supplied makefiles executes depmod.

-r 2.6.20-rc4; fi

But the used release info is wrong. Now it is clear that it uses the
wrong info through the whole build.

linux-2.6 uses a localversion file to append the flavour informations to
the upstream version. There is a comment in the code which says

| # skip backup files (containing '~')

and our version contains one, so it just ignores anything.

loadkeys in early userspace (using initramfs-tools)

2007-01-09 Thread Tim Dijkstra
Hi,

Just like cryptsetup the uswsusp package needs to interact with the
user via the keyboard in early userspace. For people with non-us
keyboards that can be problematic because loadkeys hasn't run yet.

I found out that cryptsetup already solved the problem in its
initramfs-{hook,script}. To not duplicate your work wouldn't it be
better to split that functionality of and put it in the initramfs-tools
package?

What do you think?

grts Tim

For reference, the code I'm referring to follows,

[ In hooks/cryptroot 
]===

prepare_keymap() {
local env charmap

# Allow the correct keymap to be loaded if possible
if [ ! -x /bin/loadkeys ] || [ ! -r /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz ]; 
then
return 1
fi

copy_exec /bin/loadkeys /bin/
cp /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz $DESTDIR/etc/

# Check for UTF8 console
if [ ! -x /usr/bin/kbd_mode ]; then
return 0
fi

if [ -r /etc/environment ]; then
env=/etc/environment
elif [ -r /etc/default/locale ]; then
env=/etc/default/locale
else
return 0
fi

for var in LANG LC_ALL LC_CTYPE; do
value=$(egrep ^[^#]*${var}= $env | tail -n1 | cut -d= -f2)
eval $var=$value
done

charmap=$(LANG=$LANG LC_ALL=$LC_ALL LC_CTYPE=$LC_CTYPE locale charmap)
if [ $charmap = UTF-8 ]; then
copy_exec /usr/bin/kbd_mode /bin/
fi
return 0
}


[ In scripts/local-top/cryptroot 
]

load_keymap()
{
local opts
opts=-q

# Should terminal be in UTF8 mode?
if [ -x /bin/kbd_mode ]; then
/bin/kbd_mode -u
opts=$opts -u
fi

# Load custom keymap
if [ -x /bin/loadkeys -a -r /etc/boottime.kmap.gz ]; then
loadkeys $opts /etc/boottime.kmap.gz

 What do you think?

I discussed adding loadkeys to initramfs-tools earlier and the
initramfs-tools maintainer disagreed (which is why I implemented it
directly in cryptsetup).

I'm not opposed to a shared solution at all, but I suggest you check with
the initramfs-tools maintainer (see bugs 337663 and 376393 for reference).
Perhaps he is of another opinion now that at least two different initramfs
users need the keymap.

One solution would be to change initramfs-tools to allow other
initramfs-using packages to specify that they need a localized keymap so
that it can be conditionally included in the initramfs image.

This could be done e.g. by including a per-package file such as
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d/{cryptsetup,uswsusp} which contains the
line KEYMAP=y (this would also be flexible enough to allow other
customizations in the future).

This would also allow users to specify that they want the keymap to be
included even if there is no package which needs it (by creating such a
file themselves).

Another possible solution might add one initramfs-plugin-loadkeys
package and then both depending of it. That would allow us to provide
plugins for initramfs-tools and share code between all programs
using same feature.

agreed, the default beeing KEYMAP=n.

or just setting it in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/keymap or in

this code is good tested by uswsusp, but it's a feature enhancement.
i'll queue it up for the post-etch queue.

 The kernel is tainted. You have to reproduce this without proprietary
 modules.

How?  UT2004 depends on nvidia.

Version: 2.6.15-4
Severity: important

The problem affects also 2.6.15-1-486 and the 2.6.8-386 from sarge !!!
if i try to set dma with hdparm -d1 it says:
  HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted
even giving as boot options no success.
the HW however is fine since using a live ubuntu with 2.6.12 i can
issue the cmmand and it is recognized.
I think the problem on cpufreq that says that there is not the device driver
is a son of the same father.

Well, that's a nice sound byte, but I think it's not so easy.

I hope you would agree that it's the best effort of the kernel
developers! They are certainly working as hard as possible to support
this hardware.

Lets focus on keyspan. For one, it looks like Keyspan might have been
(and might still be) trying to make progress. These firmware files are
old. As the years went on, it seems like at some point someone (from
within keyspan) figured out how to describe some of firmware
functionality as code. So it looks like there was some forward
progress. It's still likely that the raw hex values are generated by
some hardware guys and there isn't any understanding of what they
really mean -- or what they mean makes no sense or can't be described
in C. This happens all the time. The hardware guys could have quit,
been fired or died and the knowledge lost.

What doesn't make sense to me is to throw out stuff like this because
we don't have the code. Lots of other hardware like this has this same
non-free stuff on chips inside of it that we can't see the binary. I
don't see any way around problems like this. Do you have any
suggestions here? The problems are very complicated to solve. What is
best for the free software movement going forward in your opinion?

Pragmatically,
Jeff

aiui, its being dropped out of main because it is not legal for us or
our users to modify it in its current form - not because its current
form is a hex blob. All of your arguments deal with the latter issue.

I can't legally use this driver to drive my own non-keyspan device
and I cannot make changes to the hex to fix a bug or add a feature for
my Keyspan device. I'm not a lawyer, but its also questionable to me
whether or not the license permits us to distribute it an the the
non-free modules package.

If you'd like to help improve the situation, I suggest lobbying
Keyspan to license their blob under the GPL. You can add me to the
list of customers unhappy with the situation - I own a USA-19QW.

 well as you probably know there are different wireless stacks around.
 bcm43xx main dev does not happen with the one that is currently used
 in the stock kernel so this is a bit of a red herring and afaik
 not resolved upstream until alternative stack is due to be merged..
 according to sjoerd bcm43xx troubles happen lot less often.
 have checked latest git state and didn't see meaningfull patches
 that we miss, but i might be wrong and have no test box myself.

I'm afraid this doesn't clear anything up for me at all.  I don't know what
bcm43xx main dev refers to.  Is the summary basically that the only known
fixes for the bcm43xx problems involve large changes to the wireless stack
(obviously not something we want to try to backport)?

 the acpi blacklist is just a matter of doing it for my laptop seeing
 that acpi is disabled and then doing a similar patch for this kind of
 laptops. if someone wants to chimme in feel free.
 we have collected all the relevant dmidecode output.

Ok, so it's just a matter of doing it :), has this been done now or shall
I look into this?

Package: linux-image-2.6.18-3-686
Version: 2.6.18-7
Severity: normal

Hoping to fix some Xorg problems, I recently upgraded from a 2.6.15
kernel to the latest 2.6.18 kernel.  Unfortunately, using the new
kernel, my machine no longer powers off when executing
   shutdown -h now
As shown in the attached output of dmesg, I added some apm stuff to
the kernel command line:
  root=/dev/hda1 ro apm=on apm=power-off vga=792 cachesize=1024 acpi=off
but this had no effect.  Power off on shutdown worked fine on my
2.6.15 kernel.  If you want, I can install 2.6.16 and 2.6.17 and tell
you exactly where things went off the rails.  Please let me know if
there's any other information I can provide that would help diagnose
the problem.

I also cannot reproduce on a parisc64 system.
So, I'm gonna go ahead and close this bug. Please reopen if you are
still able to reproduce.

Re: How do I build a XEN kernel with make-kpkg

2007-01-09 Thread Goswin von Brederlow
Rainer Koenig [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Ok. Next try. Finding some sort of HowTos on the net, one describing
 that I need the XEN source package that applies patches to the kernel
 and then compile it. Whatever I do with 2.6.18 the kernel build process
 exits with errors that show me that something is very wrong in the 
 kernel source tree. 

 So I'm stuck, but I wonder: There IS a package linux-image-2.6.18-3-xen-686
 so it SHOULD be possible to build such an image. But HOW can I do that?
 Is there any sort of magic spell that I have to say before building
 it or am I just missing an important point? 

The debian patch package is incompatible to make-kpkg. See

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=382699

I was sure I did send in the workaround for xen but can't see it in
the BTS. So here we go again (CCing the bug).

As a quick fix for xen do:

mkdir /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.18/xen/

cat  /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.18/apply/xen EOF
#!/bin/sh

echo Applying debian patch with xen parts

if [ -z $KPKG_ARCH ]; then
  KPKG_ARCH=$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH)
fi

/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.18/apply/debian --arch $KPKG_ARCH --subarch xen
EOF

cat  /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.18/unpatch/xen EOF
#!/bin/sh
set -e

upstream=2.6.18
exec /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/$upstream/apply/debian $upstream-0
EOF

chmod a+x /usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.18/apply/xen 
/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/2.6.18/unpatch/xen



After that you can use

make-kpkg --added-patches xen clean
make-kpkg --added-patches xen kernel-image

The same can be done for vserver and xen-vserver.

Thanks for the note, Martin.

This is against woody kernel, and woody has been removed from archive 
recently, so I guess it's safe to close them.

 kernel-image-2.4.19-sun4u: 178026
 178026: normal: kernel-image-2.4.19-sun4u: rtc module not loaded, hwclock

rtc module works fine in the latest kernels, so I'll close this one 
too.

If anyone still experiences any problems, described in these bugs with 
etch/sid kernels, please file a new bug with detailed information on 
how to reproduce it.

Best regards,
