I have reverted to 0.116 which works just fine. I am perfectly OK with

   you mix udev and systemd, so no it doesn't need full systemd. It needs
   the devices to show up. And yes udev is part nowadays of systemd.
  
  Yeah, I meant udev but then ended up writing systemd instead.
   
   Also you may want to just fix your config setup. (;
 
 I tried a custom Linux 3.16.3 (defconfig minus CONFIG_DEVTMPFS plus
 virtio drivers), udev 175-7.2, and initramfs-tools versions 0.109.1
 (wheezy), 0.116 and 0.117.  All of them produced a *warning* at boot
 about missing devtmpfs, but all of them booted.

I am not getting any warning neither during initramfs phase nor during
boot:
$ apt-show-versions -p initramfs-tools
initramfs-tools:all/unstable 0.116 upgradeable to 0.118
$ zgrep DEVTMPFS /proc/config.gz 
# CONFIG_DEVTMPFS is not set
$ grep -i DEVTMPFS /var/log/syslog
$ grep -i DEVTMPFS /var/log/messages
$ grep -i DEVTMPFS /var/log/kern.log
$ dmesg | grep -i DEVTMPFS 
$

 So I suspect that the boot failure is not related to CONFIG_DEVTMPFS but
 is one of the several known bugs in 0.117 that were fixed in 0.118.
 Please try that version.

0.118 is working fine. This is interesting because I am pretty sure
I've tried to recompile my kernel with DEVTMPFS enabled previously and
it worked with 0.117. But now that I am trying to reproduce it with
0.117 installed from the cached .deb the config option doesn't make any
difference. I've noticed that 0.118 pulled in newew util-linux and some
other packages so it seems you are right and this was not directly
related to CONFIG_DEVTMPFS after all.

Thanks for your help and sorry for confusion. I should have checked all
the error messages better.

Bug#616689: The bug now reaches the separate /usr on lvm case

2014-10-08 Thread Raphael Plasson
Few more informations,

I also met this bug on another computer, where both separate / and /usr
partitions were on lvm. I didn't have problem beforehand, but the
upgrade of initramfs-tools indeed lead to the same problem.
Interestingly, it is clear during the boot time that the lvm root
partition is correctly mounted, then initramfs waits for /usr, cannot
find it and fall back to initramfs prompt. vgchange -ay command and
exiting this prompt leads to a correct boot process. This time, I only
put a lvm vgchange -ay line on the lvm2 script, didn't specify any
kernel option to grub, and this solved the problem.

So as far as I can observe the problem on my computers:
- the problem only occurs for a separate /usr partition on lvm volumes
(no problem with / ): initramfs cannot find it
- a lvm vgchange -ay line on the
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm2 added before the
activate_vg commands solves the problem (i.e. both / and /usr are
correctly found and mounted by initramfs)

Bug#751408: linux-3.2: xhci_hcd: ERR: no room for command on command ring

2014-10-08 Thread Raphael Geissert
Hi Ben,

As discussed during Debconf, I can easily reproduce this bug when, on
laptop with an xhci-controlled device I plug a USB 2 device and
suspend the machine. As soon as it is brought back from S3 and that
the devices are probed the bug occurs and from that point on the
xhci-controlled devices become non-functional. Also, as discussed,
rmmod'ing the xhci module isn't enough to make the devices functional
again, one also needs to remove the ehci module - so it would appear
that the bug affects one of the structures that are passed back to
ehci by xhci during suspend and other operations.

HTH.

Cheers,

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.117
Severity: normal

Hi,
I had to revert back to 0.116 version of the package becasue my kernel
didn't boot when initrd has been generated by 0.117 version becasue of
the missing CONFIG_DEVTMPFS. System cannot find /sbin/init as the
result.

I have checked the changelog between the to versions and it doesn't
mention this new requirement for the kernel configuration. Is this
change intentional?

from /usr/share/doc/initramfs-tools/changelog.gz:

initramfs-tools (0.117) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Roger Leigh ]
  * Generalise logic used for mounting the rootfs:
- The existing logic was only intended for mounting the root
  filesystem; this logic has been refactored to support the
  mounting of multiple filesystems
- Add a read_fstab_entry function to parse /etc/fstab on the
  mounted rootfs
- Add resolve_device function which generalises the existing
  support for resolving LABEL= and UUID= strings to the
  corresponding device node
- Add general mount_top, mount_premount and mount_bottom functions,
  with boot-script-specific variants for the local and nfs scripts;
  other boot scripts should override them if needed; the local and
  nfs scripts show how to use these to redirect to a specific
  implementation
- Add general mountfs function to mount a filesystem from the
  /etc/fstab on the mounted rootfs.  This works for both local and
  nfs mounts; other boot scripts may override it to provide more
  specialised functionality
- The local and nfs bottom scripts are run on demand if used; this
  does not interfere with alternative boot scripts being used,
  which will run first
- Canonicalise device names to match util-linux mount behaviour;
  this ensures that mount -a in mountall does not try to mount
  /usr a second time (which it will attempt if the mounted device
  does not match the canonical device name)
  * Mount /usr if present in the /etc/fstab on the mounted rootfs
(Closes: #652459)
  * Check filesystems prior to mounting (Closes: #708000):
- Add empty /etc/fstab and symlink /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts;
  not essential, but quell a number of fsck warnings
- Copy fsck and needed fsck helpers, plus logsave
- Add checkfs function, based on the initscripts checkroot
  script
- local mount functions will call checkfs prior to mounting
  the filesystem

  [ Michael Prokop ]
  * [3298dea] Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.6
  * [a12d5ed] hooks/fsck: fall back to blkid, make sure fsck binary exists
+ install /sbin/sulogin

Bug#764524: Bluetooth support on HPPA kernel (with patch)

2014-10-08 Thread Helge Deller

Package: linux
Version: 3.16
Severity: bug
Tags: patch

I just noticed during an apt-get install gnome-core run, that hppa lacks the 
bluetooth stack.
The problem is, that gnome pulls in the bluez package which then fails to 
install, because the kernel lacks bluetooth support. In the end, I can't 
(fully) install gnome because of that.
Attached patch fixes this by enabling the building of the bluetooth stack on 
hppa.

Please apply for the next upload.

(PS: Sparc seems to unset CONFIG_BT too - so it will probably run into the same 
issue)

Thanks,
Helge

With those exact same versions, I still see the system clock set
correctly!

  
  Afaics, this is because systemd set's the clock internally and doesn't
  care for the flag file that is created by hwclock-set.
  
  Also hwclock-set explicitly checks for running under systemd and then
  does nothing.
 
 Right, but if hwclock-set is run in the initramfs, there is no
 /run/systemd/system yet, so hwclock-set will be run, irregardless if
 sysvinit or systemd will be PID 1 later on.

I understand that.

Ben.

If I set my timezone to Amerika/New York, the hwclock jumps forward for
+4 hours on each boot. This doesn't trigger the fsck error though.
So maybe you need to test this you need to set this to a timezone which
is UTC+X

Is the system clock consistent with the RTC after each boot?  If so, the
RTC is being set during shutdown as if it's UTC, not local time.  If
not, then there is a double adjustment during boot.

So far I've only tested in a QEMU VM and it's possible the RTC doesn't
persist across reboots in the way it should.

I don't think the hwclock is set on shutdown at all under systemd.
Under sysvinit there is /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh which runs hwclock
--systohc. Afaics that's the reason why --hctosys during boot doesn't
have any ill effects under sysvinit.

Yes, that's it!

If you use NTP and tell the kernel to adjust the system time, that
causes the kernel to periodically write the system time to the RTC too,
because the system time will be more accurate.

For hysterical raisins, the first call to settimeofday() that specifies
a 'time zone' (local time offset) implicitly sets whether the RTC is
supposed to hold local time or UTC: if the time value is unspecified and
the time offset is non-zero then the RTC holds local time, otherwise it
holds UTC.  There is no way to change this later!

'hwclock --hctosys' specifies both time value and time offset, and
therefore implicitly configures the RTC to hold UTC (but only when NTP
is used and it is written periodically by the kernel).

So we absolutely have to run 'hwclock --systz' first.  We could *also*
run 'hwclock --hctosys' straight after that.

Ben.

Bug#764566: (second attempt) kernel panic apparently caused by killing alsa_in process

2014-10-08 Thread Robert M. Riches Jr.
Package: linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64
Version: 3.2.60-1+deb7u3

(Second attempt to report this.)

A few days ago, running Debian 7 (Wheezy), I had a kernel panic
immediately (less than a small fraction of a second) after pressing
Enter on a command to kill a process running alsa_in somewhere
around 15-60 seconds after I had deleted the file to which that
process's stdout/stderr had been redirected.  Because the triggering
events could be done by a non-privileged user, this could be seen as
constituting a DOS vulnerability.

Kernel version (uname -a):

Linux one 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.60-1+deb7u3 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Package that provided the alsa_in binary:

ii  jackd2
1.9.8~dfsg.4+20120529git007cdc37-5 amd64JACK Audio Connection Kit 
(server and example clients)

This is the CPU:

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU   W3680  @ 3.33GHz

Motherboard is an Asus P6T6 WS Revolution.  RAM is 24GB with ECC.
Disks are mdadm RAID10, a pair of WD and a pair of Seagate, both
rated for RAID use.  The machine passed 15h, 34m of memtest86+ with
zero errors on May 31, 2013.  I think I ran memtest86+ again in
December but can't find the details.  The system had a spontaneous
reboot Feb. 17, 2014, but has otherwise operated flawlessly since
prior to May of 2013.  Filesystems are ext4.

The graphics card is an Asus ENGT430.  I use the nouveau driver.
Frequently, after a week or three of uptime, small crudlets develop
on the X screen that xmag says do not exist.  Normally, using xrandr
to move a second monitor around will make them disappear.  At the
time of this event, there had been such crudlets on screen.

I use several instances of the Alsa loopback soundcard and have a
couple of hardware PCIE soundcards plugged in.

Of course, there was nothing relevant in /var/log.  The system came
back up fine, only had a few orphaned inodes during fsck, and did
not have any RAID mismatches on the next check.

By way of more detail about the alsa_in process, in case it might be
relevant: I run two diskless thin/zero-client machines that PXE boot
from the second NIC on this big machine.  The clients use VNC and a
combination of Alsa and JACK (netjack) to do remote sound.  (The
client machines run a remastered TinyCore from a few years ago.)
Sometimes, the alsa_in process starts spewing to its log file in the
vicinity of 1GB per hour.  Quite often, when I detect that
condition, I will kill the alsa_in process without any harm.  This
one time, I uncharacteristically deleted the log file before killing
the process.  The kernel panic screen appeared within a fraction of
a second of the instant I pressed Enter to kill the process.  (The
alsa_in processes were running on the big Debian/Xeon machine.)

I captured some digital photographs of the screen.  All of the text
is readable, though one long line is a bit smeared--sorry.  I had
attached them (~20MB encoded) to the first attempt to report this.
I'm happy to send them in once the bug report is accepted into the
system.

Please inform if there is any additional information that would be
useful regarding this report.  Sadly, I will not be able to try to
reproduce the symptoms here, because I only have one machine like
this, and it is the primary household computing platform.

Bug#763320: linux-image-3.16-2-amd64: intel_idle enabled for Intel Atom S1260, causes high CPU temperature when idle

2014-10-08 Thread Brown, Len
okay, so they are both model 0x36...

please send me the output from

grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpuidle/*/*

which will show the states being used in both the ACPI and the intel_idle 
scenarios.

thanks,
-Len
