2.6.7-rc2-mm2

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.7-rc2/2.6.7-rc2-mm2/

- Huge update to the SiS framebuffer driver. Please test.

- As soon as I merged Andrey's big dmi cleanup patches everyone started madly patching dmi_scan.c. The subsequent reject storm forced me to drop them.

- Big devicemapper update - new feature work.

- Various fixes, some quite serious.

Changes since 2.6.7-rc2-mm1:

SiS framebuffer works here. But my kernel does not boot, it stops at

Starting hotplug subsystem:
input
net
pci
sis900: already loaded
8139too: already loaded
ignore pci display device on 01:00.0
usb

and right here it stops.

Normally it looks this way:

Starting hotplug subsystem:
input
net
pci
sis900: already loaded
8139too: already loaded
ignore pci display device on 01:00.0
usb
done

By the way, with 2.6.6-mm5 (the last working -mm patch on my machine), I get only following PHY messages:

It works ok, as the address 1 is used as default, but I just wanted to mention that.

As I didn't know whats that command, I googled for it and found that I must hit Alt+SysRq+t and then debug information should be printed out, am I right? But I tried that, and nothing happens. SYSCTL is enabled in the kernel config.
If you really need this output, I would be pleased if anybody can inform me how I can get it. Thanks in advance!

I reverted the bk-usb.patch and it works now.

greets dominik

You must turn on SysRq support in kernel config (CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y).

Lenar

2.6.7-rc2-mm2 works fine, except for one thing: When my init.d/setserial tries to set the saved state of the serial devices using:

/bin/setserial -z /dev/ttyS0 uart 16550A port 0x03f8 irq 4 baud_base 115200 spd_normal skip_test

then the machine freezes. The magic sysrq keys don't work; I have to cycle the power...

This happened with 2.6.7-rc2-mm2 and 2.6.7-rc2-mm1, it does work with 2.6.7-rc2-bk2.

Does not look like kernel messages to me.
If this happend after init is started, it's easy to track which startup script/program hangs and run strace/gdb/whatever on it.

I fixed the issue and remade a patch against -mm2.
I have tested various configurations and I have no problem now. A document(proc.txt) is attached too.

Doesn't compile if you disable ACPI, since mp_register_gsi is guarded by

#if defined(CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC) && defined(CONFIG_ACPI_INTERPRETER)

but used in arch/i386/kernel/acpi/boot.c if CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC is set alone. I have to disable ACPI on this box still, otherwise it crashes very hard immediately after displaying ACPI banner.

Jens Axboe

"Crashes very hard" I would like to know more. Does the box have an IOAPIC?
If no, does it boot with "nolapic"?
If yes, does this patch help?

thanks,

I think you already know all the details, I discussed it with you some weeks ago :-). Let me know if you don't have the thread, and I'll bounce it to you.

I'll try nolapic, haven't tried that.

Will check, thanks.

Jens Axboe

Thanks for educating me one this.

I vaguely remember someone wrote on lkml that defining variables in blocks was bad because some gcc version wouldn't deal well with it. This was just at the time I wrote these lines, so I refrained from it in spite of the warning. OTOH, this is so very basic C that I cannot imagine gcc getting it wrong.

There is one other mistake in the BSD accounting patch, fixed below (thanks to Peter Lundkvist for reporting).

Then there's the thing with units of time not exactly corresponding to USER_HZ anymore.

And it seems this didn't get much outside testing yet, since I've only recently seen the first download of the userspace tools. Well, BSD accounting isn't too exciting these days...

I'll probably roll up another version before this can hit mainline.

       "Is there not promise of rain?" Ling Tan asked suddenly out
        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.

Could you apply attached patch (only exports DMI check functions) instead of them ? With this patch applied these "mad patchers" will have an alternative to pushing their crap^H^H^Hhanges into dmi_scan.c

I tried to make this patch as nonintrusive as possible.

Best regards.

This patch creates and exports 2 functions which can be used by the rest of kernel code to perform DMI data checks:

- dmi_check_system() function checks system DMI data against
given blacklist table and on each match runs corresponding callback function;

- dmi_get_system_info() function returns DMI data value.
Useful for people wanting more complex DMI data check than simple string match.

Also filling unused match entries with NO_MATCH made optional, but existing NO_MATCH occurences are left intact, so people are free to continue dmi_scan.c patching without massive reject problems.

Best regards.

Thanks, that works.

It would be good if you could convert a couple of the existing dmi checks over to this API. That way people can see how to use them and we know that the new code is getting some exercise.

Choosing some commonly-used table entries would be best.

Do you remember the reason of dropping my previous DMI patchset ? ;)

I can do it again, but this conversion will lead to new reject horrors, due to changes in cursed dmi_blacklist array.

Best regards.

Ok, first example attached. Port HP Pavilion irq workaround to new DMI probing.
