Hi:
Is there any news or improvements on the Intel microcode autoload
feature so we can get rid of init/systemd scripts that currently do a
task that is better done with either the kernel or udev ?
Thanks.

Hi,
We would like to ship a 12.1 kernel update soon, as
e.g. one of the WLAN drivers ( https://bugzilla.novell.com/726194 )
has a bugfix which will just crash the kernel on activation and other fixes.
- Can you establish the kABI base set in GIT, as it is not done yet.
- Can you submit a kernel update when ready?
(against 12.1:Update:Test,
or use "osc mbranch ..."
or tell me when to check out git ;)
Ciao, Marcus

Hi,
to be able to provide packages for mainline and linux-next (*) more
reliably, I changed the spec files to retry the build if a staging
driver fails. So for instance last week, it looked like this:
/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-vanilla-3.2.rc3/linux-3.2-rc3/drivers/staging/iio/industrialio-core.c:262:32:
error: 'ev_int' undeclared (first use in this function)
...
make[5]: *** [drivers/staging/iio/industrialio-core.o] Error 1
...
make: *** [all] Error 2
+ test 2 -eq 0
+ /home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/try-disable-staging-driver buildlog
Build failed due to drivers/staging/iio
Trying to disable CONFIG_IIO
GEN
/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-vanilla-3.2.rc3/linux-obj/Makefile
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/conf.o
HOSTCC scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o
HOSTLD scripts/kconfig/conf
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
#
# configuration written to .config
#
+ echo 'Retrying make'
...
In the meantime, iio got fixed in upstream, so the latest kernel-vanilla
packages contain it again. Now the question is - do we want this for the
master branch (i.e. the Factory kernel) as well?

Attached patch provides support for ST-Ericsson's U8500 NovaThor as
found in the Snowball board. It compiles and builds fine, but I have yet
to run it (awaiting receipt of board).
Regards,
Andy

Hi,
please apply the attached patch for a first building kernel-default package on
armv7l architecture.
I have to admit that I did not tried the resulting kernel yet, the goal was
to have a kernel-default package at all and finding out which of our default
kernel modules are building for arm.
This patch reverts the change to have only one kernel config per arm
architecture on purpose. I do not believe that we will ever have a common
config for armv5tel, armv7l and armv8l.
In any case this leads to a building package and satisfies some build requires
:)
thanks
adrian

1 is a power of two, therefore rounddown_pow_of_two(1) should return 1. It does
in case the argument is a variable but in case it's a constant it behaves
wrong and returns 0. Probably nobody ever did it so this was never noticed,
however net/drivers/vmxnet3 with latest GCC does and breaks on unicpu systems.
This is similar to Rolf's patch to roundup_pow_of_two(1).

Hi,
do you think it makes sense for the kernel-source package to switch to
the xz compressed tarballs provided by kernel.org?
Some scientific research:
$ ls -1sh linux-3.0.tar.*
74M linux-3.0.tar.bz2
61M linux-3.0.tar.xz
$ time -p bzcat linux-3.0.tar.bz2 >/dev/null
real 10.63
user 10.57
sys 0.05
$ time -p xzcat linux-3.0.tar.xz >/dev/null
real 5.74
user 5.50
sys 0.21
Thoughts?

Hello,
What can be done to get the i585 packages to build in a patched kernel in
this project [1].
The i586 builds failed, whereas the x86_64 succeeded.
Does a flag need to be set to 'N' in the .config file. If not, what needs
to be changed so i586 packages compile ?
Thanks Glenn
