From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: "Faccini, Bruno" Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2000 06:39:11 +0000 Subject: RE: [Linux-ia64] Problems building "2.4.0-test9" kernel source on Message-Id: List-Id: References: In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org Ok, I installed "linux-2.4.0-test9-ia64-001004.diff.gz", downloaded from "ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ports/ia64" and as expected, due to its content, it fixed my earlier 2 issues (multiple compilation errors for "arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c" and "unsatisfied externals" for "[disable,reenable]_usb()" entry points) I got with the original and full "linux-2.4.0-test9" tar-ball. But the patch/diff file reported a new pb/inconsistencies within the "include/asm-ia64/offsets.h" source file : -------- patching file linux-2.4.0-test9/include/asm-ia64/offsets.h Hunk #1 FAILED at 11. Hunk #2 FAILED at 21. 2 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file linux-2.4.0-test9/include/asm-ia64/offsets.h.rej -------- and I am a little bit puzzled there due to the suspected high impact ([Task, Thread]'s fields offsets !!) of the related values/defines (expected and new values vs current one) : ------------ - #define IA64_TASK_SIZE 2864 /* 0xb30 */ - #define IA64_TASK_THREAD_OFFSET 896 /* 0x380 */ - #define IA64_TASK_THREAD_KSP_OFFSET 896 /* 0x380 */ - #define IA64_TASK_THREAD_SIGMASK_OFFSET 2744 /* 0xab8 */ + #define IA64_TASK_SIZE 3328 /* 0xd00 */ + #define IA64_TASK_THREAD_OFFSET 1424 /* 0x590 */ + #define IA64_TASK_THREAD_KSP_OFFSET 1424 /* 0x590 */ + #define IA64_TASK_THREAD_SIGMASK_OFFSET 3184 /* 0xc70 */ vs/with the current source lines !! : #define IA64_TASK_SIZE 3456 /* 0xd80 */ #define IA64_TASK_THREAD_OFFSET 1456 /* 0x5b0 */ #define IA64_TASK_THREAD_KSP_OFFSET 1456 /* 0x5b0 */ #define IA64_TASK_THREAD_SIGMASK_OFFSET 3304 /* 0xce8 */ ------------- Since this "include/asm-ia64/offsets.h" file appear automatically generated as per the "make config/make dep/make" steps ("arch/ia64/tools/print_offsets") and according to the current configuration options, its actual content may have been computed as part of my earlier build attempt with the "-test9" base distrib., and thus I may ignore the current patch reported errors. May be I am doing something wrong, but this may also point to a current patching method lack, where config. related and generated files are included within patches/diff files and thus prevent a safe and full install on top of an already used Kernel build source tree. BTW, and keeping all of this in mind, I re-ran the full Kernel clean-up and build steps and will see how it goes (and mainly if I get a "consistent" and coherent "arch/ia64/tools/print_offsets" file generated as part of the build process) and let you know asap.
