[PATCH 0/4] kernel-yocto: 6.16 fixups and genericarm64

[bruce.ashfield]

From: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@gmail.com>

Richard,

These should cover the first set of warnings / issues that were
seen with the 6.16 reference kernel.

The first fixes vboxguestdrivers in meta-oe

The second is the qemux86 configuration warning fixup

The third is to get genericarm64 building and uses the changes sent by Mikko.

Cheers,

Bruce

[PATCH 1/4] linux-yocto/6.16: cfg: DRM tweaks for guests

[bruce.ashfield]

From: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@gmail.com>

This also fixes the build of vboxguest drivers against the
reference kernel.

    drm-bochs is used as a baseline featur efor DRM that guests
    may need.

    We add these two options to get symbols into the kernel required
    to build guest support kernel modules.

[PATCH 2/4] linux-yocto/6.16: cfg: x86 BIGSMP removal

    Author: Bruce Ashfield
    Email: bruce.ashfield@gmail.com
    Subject: x86: drop CONFIG_BIG_SMP
    Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2025 16:07:38 -0400

    commit 0abf508675c0dbbca6a387842f90db60756c4af5
    Author: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
    Date:   Wed Feb 26 22:37:06 2025 +0100

        x86/smp: Drop 32-bit "bigsmp" machine support

        The x86-32 kernel used to support multiple platforms with more than eight
        logical CPUs, from the 1999-2003 timeframe: Sequent NUMA-Q, IBM Summit,
        Unisys ES7000 and HP F8. Support for all except the latter was dropped
        back in 2014, leaving only the F8 based DL740 and DL760 G2 machines in
        this catery, with up to eight single-core Socket-603 Xeon-MP processors
        with hyperthreading.

        Like the already removed machines, the HP F8 servers at the time cost
        upwards of $100k in typical configurations, but were quickly obsoleted
        by their 64-bit Socket-604 cousins and the AMD Opteron.

        Earlier servers with up to 8 Pentium Pro or Xeon processors remain
        fully supported as they had no hyperthreading. Similarly, the more
        common 4-socket Xeon-MP machines with hyperthreading using Intel
        or ServerWorks chipsets continue to work without this, and all the
        multi-core Xeon processors also run 64-bit kernels.

        While the "bigsmp" support can also be used to run on later 64-bit
        machines (including VM guests), it seems best to discourage that
        and get any remaining users to update their kernels to 64-bit builds
        on these. As a side-effect of this, there is also no more need to
        support NUMA configurations on 32-bit x86, as all true 32-bit
        NUMA platforms are already gone.

[PATCH 3/4] yocto-bsp: introduce 6.16 bbappend

[bruce.ashfield]

From: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@gmail.com>

Adding support for our remaining reference boards with the 6.16
kernel by introducing this bbappend.

We no longer need the patches in the 6.12 kernel bbappend as they've
been pulled into the kernel tree itself.

        Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2025 09:33:17 +0300

        This reverts commit 8700a7ea5519fb0b3bad2362adfeac358c2119ce.

        The genericarm64 machine sets SERIAL_CONSOLES to a number of potential
        devices:

        SERIAL_CONSOLES ?= "115200;ttyAMA0 115200;hvc0 115200;ttyS0 115200;ttyS1 115200;ttyS2"

        With sysvinit this turns into getty lines in inittab, and with systemd
        the systemd-serialgetty recipe creates explicit units to spawn gettys.

        This worked fine with 6.6, but since "serial: 8250_omap: Drop
        pm_runtime_irq_safe()"[1] in 6.7 onwards we see kernel hangs:

        (full backtrace elided)

        With many thanks to TI, my understanding is that it was determined that
        the problem here is that we have a getty connected to ttyS1 which is
        actually the expansion port uart and on the BeaglePlay wired up to the
        wifi controller's debug port. The getty receives noise it doesn't know
        what to do with, and at some point the power management code does a
        suspend/result cycle of the device.  The serial drivers assume that
        child nodes use the serdev driver and they manage runtime_pm, but the
        getty opening the tty breaks a series of bad assumptions in the drivers.

        So, there are two bugs:
        1) The kernel shouldn't crash if this tty is opened
        2) The only serial port for a console on the BeaglePlay is ttyS2,
           despite others existing.

        TI are looking at (1) and other patches to follow will deal with (2).
        Until one of these is resolved entirely, reverting this change to power
        management stops the crashes.

    There are two reverts needed for genericarm64 serial that we
    don't want to have on the common branches. So for now, we create
    a BSP branch to hold those reverts.

    Subject: genericarm64.cfg: fix warnings from v6.16.2 kernel
    Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2025 13:08:52 +0300

    New kernel version has changed config dependencies and
    these need to be enabled explicitly. Fixes multiple
    do_kernel_configcheck warnings about ineffective configs.
    Tested kernel boot and oeqa runtime tests on arm64 build
    machine with qemu and qemu kvm and on AMD KV260

Thanks!

I don't know if I missed a patch or something else went wrong but the
number of warnings went up. The ones I spotted are:

qemuarm:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/16/builds/2386
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/40/builds/2343
qemuarmv5:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/80/builds/2207
qemuriscv64:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/45/builds/449
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/56/builds/468
qemux86 + poky-tiny:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/50/builds/2384

Also warnings in other layers:
meta-agl-core:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/55/builds/2209
meta-arm:
https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/valkyrie/#/builders/75/builds/2245

and meta-virt which I suspect you know about.

The build failures are resolved though, so progress, thanks!

Cheers,

Richard

Yup for meta-virt.

Something must be missing, everything is warning free here.

Is your queue on master-next ?

Yes, this was with master-next.

Re: [PATCH 0/4] kernel-yocto: 6.16 fixups and genericarm64

[Mikko Rapeli]

Hi,

I missed "poky: bump default kernel reference to 6.16" from
emails and can't find from list archives, but it's leaving
"poky-altcfg" distro with 6.12 kernel. Is this the plan?

When building "poky-altcfg" distro, the machines can't override
kernel version. I would like to see genericarm64 systemd
builds, e.g. "poky-altcfg" distro with the new kernel.

Plain old "poky" sysvinit without systemd, udev etc is hard
to support on broad range of HW. Thus I am testing genericarm64
with "poky-altcfg", which can't easily update to 6.16 kernel,
at least without https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/poky/message/13742

Cheers,

-Mikko

The policy has always been to test one kernel in one configuration and
the other kernel in the other configuration so this is intentional.

Is some AB build config testing "poky" distro and the new kernel with systemd?

At least on genericarm64 this is working on the HW I have access to.

If "poky-altcfg" would not override kernel version to 6.12, basically patch
above, then some machines like genericarm64 could update to 6.16 a bit
sooner.

Cheers,
