Package: linux-image-2.6.30-2-amd64
Subject: linux-image-2.6.30-2-amd64: System with AMD Turion m540 hangs while 
loading APIC
Version: 2.6.30-8squeeze1
Justification: breaks the whole system
Severity: critical

*** Please type your report below this line ***

My brand new notebook HP Pavillion dv7-3129er based on AMD Turion II Mobile 
m540 hands while the kernel is loading APIC. The system boots well if I pass 
noapic kernel option.

The same problem happens with linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-amd64.
The linux-image-2.6.26 has no such problem. Ubuntu's linux-image-2.6.31 works
well too.

I've installed Debian Lenny 5.04 then made dist-upgrade to Squeeze.

 The Lucid kernel consists of the 2.6.32 kernel plus the DRM tree from

 discussing the best way to continue to maintain a set of stable updates
 for the 2.6.33 DRM.

 I have prepared a wiki page based on our discussions, and would now like
 to open discussion to the Ubuntu kernel team mailing list.

 I'm interested in cooperating in this.

 I have prepared a git branch with drm changes from 2.6.34.3 up to
 2.6.34.6 as a basis for Debian kernel updates.  I can make that
 public and post the patches for review if you want to consider
 pulling that.

 Ben,

 What are your thoughts on taking drm patches once the 2.6.34 stable tree
 closes?
 
 I think we should keep taking applicable patches from the oldest active
 stable series after 2.6.33, possibly adding intermediate patches that
 they depend on (example: da7be68, backported to 2.6.34.6, depends on
 c414a11, not present in 2.6.33.y).
 
 The Debian kernel update policy is:
 http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernelPatchAcceptanceGuidelines.
 
 Ben.
 
 

We surely are interested in looking through 2.6.34.y drm patches to see which
ones we think look good. If you already got a tree prepared there, lets have a
look together. Our policies for patches are close there and also close to what
upstream stable has. While 2.6.33.y existed we chose to require people to submit
it to upstream stable as this ensured at least that subsystem maintainers would
be involved in the review and could intervene if things would not be applicable.
And sending patches to upstream stable also ensures fixes would go upstream (if
still being applicable).
So the big question is how we go forward now that .33 and .34 have gone out of
support upstream? Some thoughts I have here are:

- patches need to be tested to fix the reported issues
- we should prefer patches from upstream
  - if backports are required or the patch only is relevant to .33, we should
require/ask for an ack from a subsystem maintainer.
- we probably should require (as upstream stable does) that patches are self
  contained and small. Otherwise someone will come up with a giant backport
  just because it fixes and issue.
- maybe some sort of review mechanism like Greg does would be useful

We had been talking about the idea of looking at upstream stable patches for drm
in general. Though our feeling was that the more into the future we go, the less
applicable are patches there in general. And even if they apply, they might
depend on changes not present and thus break things. So we basically need a way
to proceed in a manner that allows us to get fixes while trying to keep
regressions out. Ideally we would have subsystem maintainers support by having
them add comments about .33 compliance when submitting to upstream stable. But I
guess that is too much to ask for.

I think we (Debian and Ubuntu) can gain a lot from working together on this. And
Ben, feel free to bring up anything that you think won't work for Debian or
things you think would be better. We basically want to have an upstream stable
LTS for drm in .33 while not having the benefit of having the same upstream
support as Greg does (maybe yet).

Obsolete support for old-style xen and kernel-package types in debian/ dir

2010-08-30 Thread Ian Campbell
I noticed that debian/templates/ contains a bunch of what I think is
obsolete support for old-style Xen split-modules packaging as well as
the kernel-package image type. Is it worth cleaning that up in trunk
and/or sid? Specifically I think the following could be removed:
debian/templates/control.image.type-kernel-package.in
debian/templates/control.image.type-modulesextra.in
debian/templates/control.image.type-modulesinline.in
debian/templates/image.xen.postinst.in
debian/templates/image.xen.postrm.in
debian/templates/image.xen.prerm.in
and debian/bin/gencontrol.py:do_flavour_packages could be simplified by
switching uses of type: plain-s390-tape to type: standalone allowing
removal of the special casing in favour of something like:
+image = self.templates[control.image.type-%s % 
config_entry_image['type']]
+build_modules = config_entry_image['type'] != 'standalone'
(or maybe a separate 'modules' boolean in the config entries)

I'm not sure that the provides: linux-modules-xxx in image.type-plain
is still useful if the modulesextra variant is removed, I suspect that
could also be dropped.

The patch at the bottom illustrates what I think could be dropped if
desired.

(I suspect there is also scope for similar cleanups in linux-latest-2.6)

I also noticed that control.image.type-standalone.in and
debian/templates/control.image.type-plain.in differ in that the former
does not depend on module-init-tools (which is certainly deliberate) but
it also does not recommend firmware-linux-free or depend on linux-base
+debconf (which I'm not sure about).

I happened to notice all of this while investigating a warning from the
build process:
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: Depends field of package ...: unknown 
substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}

I suspect shlibs:Depends can be removed from the depends in
templates/control.image.*.in since a linux-image package is unlikely to
contain binaries with shlibs dependencies IMHO.

Ian

Any net device outside of the initial network namespace does not appear

attempts to register additional device attributes that appear in sysfs,
and it hits this BUG because the net device itself doesn't appear in

We should be able to avoid the crash, but since the tun device will not
be visible in sysfs it might not work completely.

Bug#594886: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: Computer freeze on network traffic

 Subject: linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64: Computer freeze on network traffic
 Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.32-20 Severity: important
 
 *** Please type your report below this line ***
 
 On my Targa Traveller 826 WS, any kernel from 2.6.26 on will freeze
 sooner or later (usually in less than two minutes if transfers achieve
 over 50KB/s) when network traffic is allowed.
 
 Typical system failures happen before half a minute has passed after
 obtaining IP address through DHCP, and many times _during_ DHCP
 negotiation.
 
 It doesn't seem to be a NIC related problem as it fails when using the
 integrated 8139 or a PCMCIA FA410TX card. I haven't tested wifi cards,
 though.
 
 If the IP is configured by hand, the system stays alive a bit longer,
 but it will quickly die if high speed transfers (over 50-60KB/s in this
 case) are started (typically, apt-get update or apt-get upgrade will
 bring the system down).
 
 AFAICS, it's such a total freeze I need to cold-boot the computer to
 keep working. I'm making do currently with a custom 2.6.28.10 kernel
 (latest version that allows me not to use the tickless option, IIRC).

This sounds like a hardware problem, not a kernel bug.

Ben.

mlock/guard page/xen-tools lenny

2010-08-30 Thread dann frazier
hey Ian,
 I haven't seen any reports of xen problems w/ the latest lenny DSA
that added the guard page code. I looked at backporting the 3 patches
from Linus - but the mlock patch touches code that didn't exist in
.26, so I'm wondering if that patch is just not needed.

 Ben.

It might be a hardware problem. But I find it interesting that it didn't
happen on 2.6.18 on AMD64, it happens on 2.6.26 stable and not on my
custom compiled version, and so on... and it doesn't happen either with
Ubuntu kernels.

Not that I'm too knowledgeable about the Linux kernel, but either the
kernel highlighted a hidden hardware fault or it was the other way
around. Frankly, being able to work with different kernel configurations
except the Debian stock kernels would point to those kernels having the
problem, wouldn't it?

Subject: wishlist item auto package alioth kernel handbook when changes
committed
Date: Wed, 18 Aug 2010 21:21:05 -0400

  hello,

 i'm still figuring much out and not
sure if this wishlist item is already out
there or not (i tried to look at the BTS
but my phone line is very slow and i
didn't see it).

  while testing the upgrade from Lenny to
Squeeze on my machine the Kernel Handbook
would have been very helpful, if i could
have downloaded it via a *.deb and installed
it.

  could this could be triggered as an
automatic upload to unstable when the
text is updated in the alioth repository?

  and more generally i think this should
be a normal thing for documents hosted on
alioth so that they do get current
versions available in sid/testing and
eventually to stable release (so that
people like me at the other end of a slow
line or using sneakernet and DVD images
have more docs).  i think some debian
wiki sites should do this too as they
contain a lot of helpful information.

  if you do add this as an actual wishlist
item and want to add an e-mail address for
me to use as tracking/notifier, please use
a...@anthive.com (i've already got that one
in the BTS).

  thanks for your efforts and consideration,

  and yes, i've gotten to a working 2.6.32
kernel so i have no bugs to report at the
moment!  :)

  thank you again,  :)

Re: [RFC] Process for maintaining stable updates for drm for Lucid

2010-08-30 Thread manoj . iyer


One thing that I would like to point out is that, there are some 
infrastructural changes that have gone into drm since 2.6.33. Many/Most of 
the recent patches reference that new infrastructure. OEMs prefers to 
base on lucid, and they have products that are scheduled to be released 
based on newer intel chipsets. The patches that go into upstream for these 
chipsets will need to be backported from .35 to lucid, and also any 
reference to new infrastructure changed to use the old one. I am concerned 
this might lead to other problems. My suggestion if a patch has a 
dependency, we should try to pull in the dependency as well instead of 
backporting to .32.



Cheers

Ben,

What are your thoughts on taking drm patches once the 2.6.34 stable tree
closes?


I think we should keep taking applicable patches from the oldest active
stable series after 2.6.33, possibly adding intermediate patches that
they depend on (example: da7be68, backported to 2.6.34.6, depends on
c414a11, not present in 2.6.33.y).

The Debian kernel update policy is:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernelPatchAcceptanceGuidelines.

Ben.




We surely are interested in looking through 2.6.34.y drm patches to see which
ones we think look good. If you already got a tree prepared there, lets have a
look together. Our policies for patches are close there and also close to what
upstream stable has. While 2.6.33.y existed we chose to require people to submit
it to upstream stable as this ensured at least that subsystem maintainers would
be involved in the review and could intervene if things would not be applicable.
And sending patches to upstream stable also ensures fixes would go upstream (if
still being applicable).
So the big question is how we go forward now that .33 and .34 have gone out of
support upstream? Some thoughts I have here are:

- patches need to be tested to fix the reported issues
- we should prefer patches from upstream
 - if backports are required or the patch only is relevant to .33, we should
   require/ask for an ack from a subsystem maintainer.
- we probably should require (as upstream stable does) that patches are self
 contained and small. Otherwise someone will come up with a giant backport
 just because it fixes and issue.
- maybe some sort of review mechanism like Greg does would be useful

We had been talking about the idea of looking at upstream stable patches for drm
in general. Though our feeling was that the more into the future we go, the less
applicable are patches there in general. And even if they apply, they might
depend on changes not present and thus break things. So we basically need a way
to proceed in a manner that allows us to get fixes while trying to keep
regressions out. Ideally we would have subsystem maintainers support by having
them add comments about .33 compliance when submitting to upstream stable. But I
guess that is too much to ask for.

I think we (Debian and Ubuntu) can gain a lot from working together on this. And
Ben, feel free to bring up anything that you think won't work for Debian or
things you think would be better. We basically want to have an upstream stable
LTS for drm in .33 while not having the benefit of having the same upstream
support as Greg does (maybe yet).

Re: [RFC] Process for maintaining stable updates for drm for Lucid

 One thing that I would like to point out is that, there are some  
 infrastructural changes that have gone into drm since 2.6.33. Many/Most 
 of the recent patches reference that new infrastructure. OEMs prefers to  
 base on lucid, and they have products that are scheduled to be released  
 based on newer intel chipsets. The patches that go into upstream for 
 these chipsets will need to be backported from .35 to lucid, and also any 
 reference to new infrastructure changed to use the old one. I am 
 concerned this might lead to other problems. My suggestion if a patch has 
 a dependency, we should try to pull in the dependency as well instead of  
 backporting to .32.

Debian generally tries to avoid ABI breakage in stable updates, though
adding new exported symbols is fine.  So long as you don't include
patches that remove symbols, we can probably fudge the rest for ABI
compatibility.

  As I stated above, I need the ACK from David to be able to add these
  patches.
  
  David?
 
 I believe there were some regressions caused by these changes that were
 fixed later, a bit after those commites went into the tree.
 
 I'm only confortable ACK'ing this if someone does due diligence and
 checks for any such follow-on fixes to that series.
 
 It's a pretty non-trivial set of patches and has the potential to kill
 performance which would be a very serious regression.

Fair enough.

Who's done the checks to find out any problems with these patches?

And what is keeping you from moving to the .35 kernel tree instead?

thanks,

greg k-h

Bug#594933: Manpage idmapd.conf.5 not shipped

2010-08-30 Thread Iustin Pop
Package: nfs-common
Version: 1:1.2.2-4
Severity: normal

Hi,

It seems the manpage for /etc/idmapd.conf is not shipped (anymore?) by
any package. I'm reporting this against nfs-common as this package is
the one shipping the daemon.

I've seen though that the man page is present in the sources for
libnfsidmap, so maybe it's the library that should ship it (please
reassign then).

Without the man page, finding information about the static or ldap
transports is… dificult :)

Bug#594938: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686: Microsoft InteliMouse (PS/2) wheel broken

2010-08-30 Thread Matthieu Moy
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-21
Severity: normal
Tags: sid

Hi,

My mouse's (MS Intelimouse, PS/2 with a wheel) wheel stopped working since the
last upgrade: pressing or scrolling the wheel does nothing, at all. xev does
not see the event, but I cannot see it either with cat /dev/psaux or cat
/dev/input/mouse0, while both show fancy characters when pressing the other
buttons.

Rebooting and chosing older kernel versions (2.6.30 or even 2.6.32-trunk-686)
solves the problem. 

Thanks,
