2.6.22-rc6-mm1

[Andrew Morton]

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.22-rc6/2.6.22-rc6-mm1/

- NOTE (an uppercase one, indeed): there are a lot of menuconfig changes in
  here which break `make oldconfig' badly.  If you grab an old .config and run
  `make oldconfig', your kernel probably won't work.  I lost useful things
  like CONFIG_BLK_DEV and the whole SCSI system, because they were added after
  I generated my .config.

  So save yourself some hassle and check your .config carefully before
  building this kernel.  Make sure that everything you need is still enabled.

  I found that manually adding "CONFIG_BLK_DEV=y" to the .config before
  running oldconfig saved a large number of config items from getting lost.

  Those menuconfig changes have been a huge pain.

- Added the kgdb tree, as git-kgdb.patch (Jason Wessel
  <jason.wessel@windriver.com>)

  This is a large patch which unifies all the various kgdb stubs lying
  around various architectures and extends kgdb support to other
  architectures.  Supported architectures are at present arm, i386, ia64,
  mips, ppc32, ppc64, sh, and x86_64.

  Subject to review, we're aiming this at 2.6.24.

- Jean's hwmon git tree was dropped and was replaced by the new
  git-hwmon.patch (Mark M.  Hoffman <mhoffman@lightlink.com>)

- Added new git-ixgbe.patch: "10GbE driver for Intel 82598 based PCI Express
  adapters" (Ayyappan Veeraiyan <ayyappan.veeraiyan@intel.com>)

- I cannot persuade git to generate a sane diff out of git-wireless, so it
  is dropped.  Which is bad, because it contains a tremendous amount of stuff.

- Added x86_64 dynticks support

- Merged the dynamic commandline length patches - these remove Linux's
  hard-coded limit.



Boilerplate:

- See the `hot-fixes' directory for any important updates to this patchset.

- To fetch an -mm tree using git, use (for example)

  git-fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/smurf/linux-trees.git tag v2.6.16-rc2-mm1
  git-checkout -b local-v2.6.16-rc2-mm1 v2.6.16-rc2-mm1

- -mm kernel commit activity can be reviewed by subscribing to the
  mm-commits mailing list.

        echo "subscribe mm-commits" | mail majordomo@vger.kernel.org

- If you hit a bug in -mm and it is not obvious which patch caused it, it is
  most valuable if you can perform a bisection search to identify which patch
  introduced the bug.  Instructions for this process are at

        http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/bisecting-mm-trees.txt

  But beware that this process takes some time (around ten rebuilds and
  reboots), so consider reporting the bug first and if we cannot immediately
  identify the faulty patch, then perform the bisection search.

- When reporting bugs, please try to Cc: the relevant maintainer and mailing
  list on any email.

- When reporting bugs in this kernel via email, please also rewrite the
  email Subject: in some manner to reflect the nature of the bug.  Some
  developers filter by Subject: when looking for messages to read.

- Occasional snapshots of the -mm lineup are uploaded to
  ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/mm/ and are announced on
  the mm-commits list.

I took a picture of it, looks like the backtrace is:

NULL pointer dereference at 024
EIP:dmar_table_init+0x11
intel_iommu_init+0x30
pci_iommu_init+0xe
kernel_init+0x16e

Presumably something is NULL in dmar_table_init that wasn't expected to 
be.. I would guess it likely crashes on any system without an Intel 
IOMMU in it.

How about something like below?


int __init dmar_table_init(void)
{
+	if (!dmar_tbl)
+		return -ENODEV;
	parse_dmar_table();
	if (list_empty(&dmar_drhd_units)) {

		return -ENODEV;
	}
	return 0;
}

Re: 2.6.22-rc6-mm1

[Mariusz Kozlowski]

Hello,

	allmodconfig on powerpc (iMac g3) fails due to
git-kgdb.patch. allmodconfig defaults should be changed?

  CC      arch/powerpc/kernel/kgdb.o
arch/powerpc/kernel/kgdb.c:485:2: error: #error Both XMON and KGDB selected 
in .config. Unselect one of them.
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/kgdb.o] Blad 1
make: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel] Blad 2

anyway after unselecting XMON we can see:

  CC [M]  fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_ioctl32.o
fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_ioctl32.c: In function 'xfs_ioc_bulkstat_compat':

make[2]: *** [fs/xfs/linux-2.6/xfs_ioctl32.o] Blad 1

This is just allmodconfig - not a .config that's used daily by users but I'm 
used to compiling the kernel using it anyway 8)

    I'm not sure if this will work out but maybe it's worth to disable XMON if 
KGDB is selected, like this?

config XMON
	bool "Include xmon kernel debugger"
	depends on DEBUGGER && !KGDB

This patch should help for this, so that this isn't done when Kconfig or 
.config has been changed and they are not in sync.

bye, Roman


Reset generates values only if Kconfig and .config agree.

Configures, builds, boots on first try.  Dell Latitude D820 laptop, T7200 CPU,
x86_64 kernel.  Doesn't break any of the out-of-tree stuff I use.

Odd - just for grins, I checked what 'make oldconfig' did when handed a .config
from 22-rc4-mm2, and it behaved just fine, much to my surprise.

I can't comment on the DMAR issues, my .config didn't include PCI_MSI so I never
got asked about that one by oldconfig.  Maybe if I get brave this afternoon. :)

why not check for NULL in the function where it touched?
Also when there are no DMAR devices we need the below
printk on the console.

Here is the revised patch of the above.
Andrew, please add this fix to
+intel-iommu-dmar-detection-and-parsing-logic.patch
------------------------------------------------

Check for dmar_tbl pointer as this can be NULL on 
systems with no Intel VT-d support.

The convention is to print a KERN_DEBUG message if hardware is not
found when probing it, otherwise the boot messages become cluttered
with lots of "$FOO not found".

Since this is IOMMU is built into the kernel and it is
good idea to report that the device is not present. The 
above is printed only once and is consistent with other
IOMMU implementation. Atleast it is useful when people 
report bugs we can makeout whether IOMMU is being detected
or not.

Here is what I see on my box.
[..]
"PCI-GART: No AMD northbridge found."
[..]
Calgary: detecting Calgary via BIOS EBDA area
Calgary: Unable to locate Rio Grande table in EBDA - bailing!
[..]

As you can see I don;t have either GART or Calgary on my box.

That's probably because your old config file was relatively recent, and
had things like CONFIG_BLK_DEV=y in it.

But those people who are still dragging around old config files which
predate the introduction of CONFIG_BLK_DEV will find that 2.6.22-rc6-mm1
oldconfig will give them CONFIG_BLK_DEV=n instead of current mainline's
deafult of CONFIG_BLK_DEV=y.

I think making BLK_DEV deafult to n was a bit dumb, so I dropped the
offending patches.

If it was printed that it was detected it was - otherwise, it wasn't.

You're right, that should be a debug message as well.

These are KERN_DEBUG messages.

All my .configs have mouldered since I lost the ability to have .config be
a symlink to a revision-controlled file (used to carry a custom patch for
this, but it died).

I continue to believe that kbuild's lets-trash-your-symlink behaviour is
obnoxious, but I was unable to persuade anyone else of this.

No the convention is to print no message at all when nothing is found

I thought we fixed that long time ago?!?!
I am heading for vacation for 20 days without Internet (real vacation :-))
and have properly forget most about Linux and everything about this
issue when I return.
In the unlikely event that I recall it I will take a look when I'm back.

By the way - kbuild.git is lacking behind on patches.
I have several queded from other peopel and have more in the works myself.
This will not be looked into until I'm back.

Nope, a simple `make oldconfig' breaks the symlink.

Hi,

On Fri, 29 Jun 2007, Andrew Morton wrote:

Normally generated values (Kconfig entries without a prompt) are cleared 
as they are regenerated anyway and so they appear as new should they 
become visible and defaults work as expected (once a value is set defaults 
aren't used anymore).
The detection whether a value is generated or not is only based on its 
visibility status, which can quickly change for a lot of symbols by just 
removing a single line from .config or adding a dependency to Kconfig as 
you noticed.
The patch now suppresses this logic when .config and Kconfig aren't in 
sync and .config needs to be updated, so that you can remove now a random 
value from .config and oldconfig won't reask for many other values.

Nope. I usually does not include section mismatch fixes in the kbuild.git
tree but leave that to the maintainers in the particular areas.

This patch should go in via SH maintainer since this is sh specific
driver(s).

It did not seem that you can make a radio button / multi-select kernel 
config option unless the options are in the same Kconfig file.  Given 
that xmon and kgdb are mutually exclusive at the moment.

What Sergei mentioned is the fix that needs to be used for the time being. 

Attached is the patch I put in the for_mm branch in the linux-2.6-kgdb 
git tree.

xmon_or_kgdb.patch

From: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
Subject: [PATCH] Turn off xmon if kgdb is active on ppc and powerpc

Xmon and kgdb are mutuall exclusive at the moment so xmon should be
turned off in the kernel config options if kgdb selected.  The case with "make allmodconfig" was failing and this patch addresses the problem.

    This patch does not seem complete as the #error that was tiggering has not 
been deleleted from arch/powerpc/kernel/kgdb.c (and not it's useless)

I suppose the argument could be made to remove the check in the compiled 
file, but it does serve as a way to protect kgdb for now if someone 
tries to hard compile in xmon and kgdb.  Completely unpredictable 
results will occur with the debugger unless some pieces are fixed.  I 
would rather make sure until that happens there is no way head down the 
rat hole.

That issue aside would it be useful to have xmon+kgdb?  After having 
looked at the hook points for xmon, if a command was added to xmon to 
provide an "detach" it would be easy enough to have kgdb and xmon in the 
same kernel.  Obviously only one or the other can be used at any given time.

It should all work provided kgdb plays nicely.  We used to be able to
compile in both xmon and kdb and select at runtime which one gets
used.

Well, xmon_init(0) will do a detach.  However, I don't see that it is
needed; there is plenty of flexibility to choose to have xmon or not
using the CONFIG_XMON_DEFAULT config option and the xmon= boot command
line option.

On the one ppc64 machine I have to test on for memoryless nodes, I
found I had to add back in CONFIG_BLK_DEV=y and
CONFIG_SCSI_LOWLEVEL=y. Just for reference as other folks pull out
their hair.

Yes.

I'm not sure what this patch does on x86_64, but it seems like it 
trashes all HPET support on i386?

It might do, if your i386 is old and has the HPET_ID_LEGSUP bit set.

The code path which that patch disables:

I'd forgotten about this problem, and it seems that Thomas & John have too.
It's a showstopper.

No, I have not. I found and solved the problem. Updates to the x8664
hrtimer queue are going out tomorrow.
