Bug#623808: Please activate RT33XX options

2011-04-23 Thread Thomas Goirand
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.38-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: sid

Hi,

As there was not follow-up on my email to the list, I'm sending this
bug report, in the hope that it will bring attention to the kernel team.

I have an old laptop with a bad internal WiFi board, so I bought a newer
RaLink driver. To make it work, I had to add the option rt2800usb -
Include support for rt33xx devices (EXPERIMENTAL) and rt2800usb -
Include support for rt35xx devices (EXPERIMENTAL). These are not
activated in your build (I've just checked).

I believe that one of the most important point of running a backported
kernel is to have such drivers for newer hardware. Could you please
include the option above? The options to activate are as below:

CONFIG_RT2800PCI_RT33XX
CONFIG_RT2800PCI_RT35XX
CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT33XX
CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT35XX

If you include the above options, I'll be able to test your backport
instead of the quick and dirty one that I did myself.

Thanks, and keep-up the good work,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)

If I understand this correctly, altering the config changes the kernel
ABI.


Sometimes.

If an exported function is conditional on CONFIG_FOO, or it
uses a type whose definition depends on CONFIG_FOO, then turning
CONFIG_FOO on or off changes the ABI of that function, and thus of the
kernel as a whole.

Enabling or changing the configuration of a single driver usually
doesn't change the ABI, because most drivers don't export anything.


Question: wouldn't patching the kernel also change the ABI?


Sometimes, yes.


Therefore it is required to also change the ABI name, otherwise this is
detected by the build process (Question: how does it do this?) which
aborts.


The kernel build process generates a 'symbol version' for each exported
function or variable.  This is a hash of the definitions that it depends
on, and should change whenever the function's ABI changes.  The kernel
module loader detects incompatible modules by comparing symbol versions.
The whole set of symbol versions represents the kernel ABI.

We collect the symbol versions for previously uploaded packages under
the directory debian/abi and then compare the new kernel with those.  If
the ABI name is unchanged but the ABI itself is changed - except for
additions, or changes that we have marked as acceptable - then the build
is aborted, as you saw.


I see. I advocate having something like this in the kernel documenation. 
Currently it is just a list of commands to type, and some background  
explanation would be helpful.



So I set 'abiname: custom1.0' and ran

fakeroot debian/rules debian/control-real

and then

fakeroot debian/rules source
fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_i386_none_686

BTW, what does

fakeroot debian/rules source

do?


Copies and patches the upstream source.


Mention this too.


The resulting kernel package looks like
linux-image-2.6.26-custom1.0-686-bigmem_2.6.26-26lenny1_i386.deb.

I get warnings of the form

Compatibility levels before 5 are deprecated.

See extract from build log below. Does this mean it expected the abiname
to start with 5, for some reason?


No, this is a warning from debhelper.


Ah, Ok. debhelper wants debian/compat to be 5?


I've attempted to document this, since it currently does not appear to be.
See patch to kernel handbook below. I'm sure I'm made errors, so
corrections, please.

[...]

Thanks.  I'll apply something like that, but change 'is necessary' to
'may be necessary.


I'll review your patch.


Addendum: I get this error when trying to install

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of
linux-headers-2.6.26-custom1.0-686-bigmem:
  linux-headers-2.6.26-custom1.0-686-bigmem depends on

The debian packaging does not generate this linux-header common package.


It does, just not with the rule you used.  You'll have to use:

   make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_i386_none_real


I tried this, and it produces

linux-headers-2.6.26-custom1.0-common_2.6.26-26lenny1_i386.deb

in contrast with the original command

fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_i386_none_686

which produces the header and linux-image packages. Is the general syntax

target_arch_featureset_real

? Why 'real'?

Is this produced by a separate command because it doesn't need to be 
regenerated every time? It would be simpler if it was produced along with 
the header and linux image packages with


fakeroot make -f debian/rules.gen binary-arch_i386_none_686

imo. In any case, this should also be added to the documentation. I'll 
attempt updates to your patch.

Bug#600656: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: Crash after nullpointer dereference during gparted reading a disk

2011-04-23 Thread Andreas Feldner
Hi Moritz,

I just tried using the following kernel:
Linux version 2.6.38-2-amd64 (Debian 2.6.38-3) (b...@decadent.org.uk) (gcc 
version 4.4.5 (Debian 4.4.5-15) ) #1 SMP Thu Apr 7 04:28:07 UTC 2011

This time, the reading stage of gparted was completed successfully, but during 
the actual right-shift of the partition, the following oops occurred. The 
system is yet running, but the gparted process is hanging (so, now I must do 
what probably would have been the easiest solution anyway, re-creating the 
partition from scratch). But of course it would be interesting to have an 
indication if e.g. the hard disc is broken, or the PATA controller?

Best regards,
Andreas.

Bug#622337: More info

2011-04-23 Thread Erik de Castro Lopo

I just noticed an interesting aspect of this bug.

I was running kernel  2.6.38-2-amd64 for a couple of hours while
connected to mains power and the mouse was working perfectly. I
then unplugged the power and moved to the couch. With a couple of
minutes the mouse problem recurred.

There is obviously a connection between the mouse problem and
running on laptop battery power.

Bug#581525: rt2860: rt2860 doesn't connect to WPA2 networks

2011-04-23 Thread Míguel
It seems it was due to a conflict between the rt2870sta and the rt2800pci
modules.

Blacklisting rt2870sta solved the problem (both in Debian an Ubuntu).

Sorry for not asking to close the bug report before.

Thanks!

  It seems it's not possible to connect to WPA2 wireless networks with the
 squeezix version of the rt2860 module.
 
  I've tested it with both network-manager and wicd. Both of them are
 unable to authenticate with the correct password.
 
  Both have NO problems to connect to WPA-PSK networks.
 
  Tested with a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH router. No problem connecting to that
 WPA2 network with other devices.
 
  The router encryption is set to WPA/WPA2-Mixed TKIP+AES, using a
 preshared key.
 
  Tested also after updating the rt2860 firmware-ralink to the Debian SID
 version (v0.24). No luck, either.

 Does this still occur with the final Squeeze kernel or more recent kernels?

 Cheers,
 Moritz

Thanks for the information, Jonathan.  I'm afraid I don't know much about
git, and my ignorance is showing.  What I do know how to use is the
Linux cross reference at http://lxr.linux.no/+trees, and by using that
it appears that this bug, in some form, goes all the way back to day 1.
All supported stable kernels will no doubt contain the bug, though the
line numbers in the patch may need to be adjusted from one release to
the next.  It is a very simple one-line change.

So, stable, I hereby respectfully request that the above-mentioned bug
fix be backported to the supported stable kernel releases.  Personally,
I am most interested in the 2.6.32 kernel, as that is the basis for
Debian Squeeze.

Package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau
Version: 1:0.0.15+git20100329+7858345-3
Severity: important

Hi,

I have been trying to configure nouveau for my nvidia card but looks like I 
have a very preliminary problem
for which I did not find a solution yet.


X fails complaining that it could not find any of the device in /dev/dri/cardN
On my box, even with nvidia.ko loaded, I do not have the /dev/dri/ folder at 
all.


Any ideas on where I should start investigating ?
I did manually load the nouveau.ko driver as it does not autoload.

Is it because of a missing udev rule ?


Regards,
Ritesh

I ended up making some more changes and included the new text in the

Ben.


I've made some more changes - mostly additions - to your patch. I've
included your ABI comments almost verbatim, because I think they are
interesting and it is useful for people to have an idea of what is
going on. If you disagree, of course please feel free to remove them,
or indeed make any suitable changes or clarifications you think are
necessary.

Thank you for your assistance with this. It has been most helpful.

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-33
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

I'm currently investigation why my Debian squeeze systems don't live migrate on
an XenSever pool. By chance I stumbled upon the (as it seems to me) soon to be
released 2.6.32-33 kernel version and as my live migration issues are kernel
related I decided to try that kernel.

But this kernel doesn't boot as a PV domU neither on my Citrix XenServer 5.6 FP1
nor on a Debian system with Xen 3.4.3 at all. It doesn't even get so far as to
provide a hvc console but crashes with a page fault on domain creation:

Apart from addresses this is the same with domU kernel 2.6.32-32 and 2.6.32-33
as well as with either the hypervisor from XenServer or vanilla Xen.

The current release 2.6.32-31 does boot without problems.

System Information below is from a Debian lenny, where I tested this kernel
(I don't have any other VM to hand for quick testing currently) but as this
is a kernel problem this shouldn't matter.

Package: linux-image-2.6.32-5-xen-amd64
Version: 2.6.32-33

We were unable to boot the Xen amd64 flavor of the 2.6.32-32 or
2.6.32-33 proposed kernels as a Xen guest.  The failure occurs very
early, before the kernel prints any messages to the console; the guest
machine shows up in xm list as crashed.

git bisect indicated that the commit x86: Cleanup highmap after brk
is concluded is the probable culprit.  It seems this patch has caused
problems for others as well, see for example
https://bugs.launchpad.net/system76/+bug/752870.  We haven't yet
tested whether the x86, hibernate: Initialize mmu_cr4_features during
boot commit mentioned in that thread fixes the boot as a Xen guest.

Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.38-3
Severity: important

I installed linux-image-2.6.38-2-s390x version 2.6.38-3 on my up-to-date Wheezy
system today.  It runs in a virtual machine under z/VM 5.4.0 running in an LPAR
on an IBM z/890.  It IPLed just fine.  After the IPL, the system fell idle for 
a while.
Then a CRON job kicked off, which caused a page fault, which caused a kernel 
oops.
Here is the log:

I have backed out to a 2.6.32 kernel until the problem is resolved.  The 2.6.38
kernel is obviously unusable for me.

Bug#622333: Debian Squeeze hangs with kernel 2.6.32-5-xen-686

  Well, 35 minutes ago I had another hang. Same symptoms: connecting
  directly a keyboard and monitor, there is no reaction when pressing any
  key (black screen); loss of connectivity to the dom0 and domUs.
  
  Additionally I can comment that this time the crash occurred when I was
  doing an aptitude update/upgrade in the dom0 and the domUs. I can also
  comment that the disk activity LED was constantly on (not flashing).
  
  After hard reset it seems that something was unconscious in one of the
  RAIDs, and is currently syncing.
  
  In /var/log/messages there is no evidence of any particular event from
  the previous boot. The same in kern.log and syslog.

If the disk controller has gone funny it pretty likely that whatever log
messages were generated never made it onto the disk.

 Here I found a thread [1] with a problem quite like this (although in my
 case the hardware is different: A8V-MX motherboard and AMD Athlon 64
 Processor 3500+) in the xen-users mailing list. And another thread [2]
 which is derived from the above.
 
 I'll try using cpuidle=off or max_cstate=1 at xen cmdline in 
 /boot/grub/grub.conf.

It's probably worth trying cpuidle=off but it looks like the
max_cstate=1 thing is Intel specific. It's not clear to me in either
case if the root cause of the issue this fixes is a h/w or s/w issue.

Do you have irqbalanced installed/running?

Ian.

  2.6.32-23?
  
  Ben.
 
 I have already tried it on Friday without luck :-( The symptoms are the same: 
 blank screen with backlight enabled. Once I plug an external monitor the LCD 
 comes alive.
 
 Thanks for asking non the less :-)

Does this bug still occur with the final version of the Linux kernel/Xorg ? 

Cheers,

 Please add that information on bugzilla.kernel.org.

Steaphan,
it seems you didn't followup in the kernel.org bugzilla. Is this fixed
in current kernels from sid or testing?

Cheers,
Moritz

 Steaphan,

No, I did not.  By the time I got a chance to follow up on this, new
kernel version were available, and I have not had time to test any of
them (the machine using this hardware is constantly in use, including
the serial device itself).  I will see if I can follow up by connecting
the device to a more expendable machine at some point when the serial
ports won't be needed on my main machine for some time.

I will e-mail again when I do finally manage to do that.

Bug#622333: Debian Squeeze hangs with kernel 2.6.32-5-xen-686

Using cpuidle=off and xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64 package had no effect.
After an uptime of 20:26:44, everything became frozen again. Now I'm
trying with the max_cstate=1 option.

This time there was no visual evidence in the disk activity LED when the
problem occurred, but I do not see revealing information in system logs.

 Do you have irqbalanced installed/running?

No, I'm not using irqbalance. This is a uniprocessor system (AMD
Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+ with A8V-MX motherdoard).

Thanks for your reply.

Daniel

Bug#623308: linux-image-2.6.38-2-amd64: Lenovo X200 laptop fails to power down under 2.6.38

2011-04-23 Thread Jason White
I've just tested this again, and the bug is still present as of the latest
package incorporating 2.6.38.4:
Linux jpc2 2.6.38-2-amd64 #1 SMP Sat Apr 23 18:47:49 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux

After completing the normal shutdown (unmounting file systems, etc.), the
machine appears to stop very briefly and then it reboots.

Re: Debian/m68k kernel (preview)

2011-04-23 Thread Ben Hutchings
On Sat, 2011-04-23 at 21:00 +, Thorsten Glaser wrote:
 Christian T. Steigies dixit:
 
 As Geert wrote, almost all patches will make it into the official kernel
 tree, only m68k usually needs them a little sooner.
 
 OK, I’ve tracked down the patches that were indeed submitted,
 added the SLUB workaround, and prepared another source package.
 It’s currently building (cross, for speed of testing), but if
 you like, you can review the patch I’d ask the Debian Kernel
 Team to include later (if this works). My patch is based on
 linux-2.6_2.6.38-3 since that’s what was in main when I began,
 but should work against the scheduled -4, too. I’ve reduced
 the number of patches to what I think is the minimum needed.

You don't need to unset ECONET or X25 in debian/config/m68k/config; they
are explicitly unset in the top-level config.

 Some of the changes to debian/config/m68k/* were already in
 sid/2.6.32 in Debian but not in what was trunk back then, so
 I’ve re-added them. I think they come from Stephen Marenka.
 
 I don’t know how the ABI files are generated, there’s none for
 m68k yet. Please tell me if I have to do something.
[...]

They are based on the Module.symvers files generated during a build and
included in the linux-headers-* packages.  They are added to the *next*
version of the source package if we are intending to maintain the ABI,
using debian/bin/abiupdate.py.  If there has not been a successful build
of kernel version '2.6.38-2' for m68k then there is no need to add them.

Ben.
