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 [1] package https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=kernel-reiser4&project=home… The failed i586 build logs show[2]: [2] https://build.opensuse.org/package/rawlog?arch=i586&package=kernel-reiser4&… LD drivers/net/built-in.o /usr/src/packages/BUILD/kernel-reiser4-2.6.39/linux-2.6.39.4/drivers/net/niu.c: In function 'niu_add_ethtool_tcam_entry': /usr/src/packages/BUILD/kernel-reiser4-2.6.39/linux-2.6.39.4/drivers/net/niu.c:7510:33: warning: 'class' may be used uninitialized in this function LD drivers/built-in.o make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.ioWHAW (%build) The x86_64 builds succeeded[3].

[opensuse-kernel] Bug in 11.4 kernel? - mmap() with MAP_NORESERVE failing [Chrome Google native client fails on Opensuse 11.4 64]
by milan zimmermann 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Hi (long post) I am not sure this is the right list; my post last week on Opensuse 64 bit forum did not yield comments so far. I am trying to resolve a failure of Google Native Client in Opensuse 64 11.4, discussed in Google Native Client forum: [1] https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/native-client-discuss/7DUFfi_BxqM To repeat the issue in a nutshell:: --------------------------------------------- Google native client (Chrome) works on recent versions of at least Ubuntu [1], but fails on Opensuse 11.4 (with all latest updates up to Nov 4). This failure can be reproduced in chrome 14, 15, 16 (from http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/x86_64) and verified by loading [2] http://www.gonacl.com/dev/demos/sdk_examples/load_progress/load_progress.ht… The problem / question for opensuse (kernel?) :: ------------------------------------------------------------------ There is a long discussion in the above thread, to get to the point quickly: The Google guys identified an issue with mmap() with MAP_NORESERVE (see below). They believe it may be a bug or a kernel configuration issue(?) A Chrome Nacl person suggest the following code should print "Success" but it fails in my testing: #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/mman.h> int main(void) { void *addr; printf("Hello world\nAllocating 29Gb...\n"); addr = mmap((void *) NULL, 29 * (((size_t) 1) << 30), PROT_NONE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_NORESERVE | MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0); /* test 29 or other values */ if (MAP_FAILED == addr) { printf("FAILED\n"); } else { printf("Success: %p\n", addr); } return 0; } This prints FAILED on Opensuse 11.4 64 bit. I did some experiments. On my system: # cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 15948428 kB MemFree: 11270612 kB .... CommitLimit: 28945728 kB Committed_AS: 4918284 kB ... >From running the test program above, it looks like *CommitLimit* is clearly used as upper limit of mmap(MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_NORESERVE | MAP_PRIVATE), *no matter what vm.overcommit_memory* flag is used. In concrete terms: mmap((void *) NULL, 29 * (((size_t) 1) << 30), PROT_NONE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_NORESERVE | MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0); // always FAILS with value of 29 or higher mmap((void *) NULL, 28 * (((size_t) 1) << 30), PROT_NONE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_NORESERVE | MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0); // always SUCCEEDS with value of 28 or lower No matter what setting of sysctl -w vm.overcommit_memory=0 # or 1 or 2 (This seems a Opensuse 11.4 bug in modes 0 and 1, as according to [2] anonymous private readonly should have 0 cost) Any comments or solutions or how to fix this?

Aloha Kernel Gods, Yes it's me (again)! I have good news, the attached has successfully built all three kernels. Unfortunately I haven't tested the kernels yet, but I didn't want to sit on it for too long. Please advise if it is acceptable or if you think I need to do anything else. Thanks for all your help and advice in getting me this far. Regards, Andy -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin GPG: 0x3A36312F

[opensuse-kernel] Dell S300wi projector usbhid pointing device strange behavior.
by Jordi Bruguera i Cortada 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

Hello, maybe some of you, kernel wizards, could help me: I'm just trying to get a Dell S300wi projector pointing device to function properly. Is a USB connected pointing device. I'll try to explain this strange behavior under openSUSE 12.1 RC1 and earlier ( 11.4 ) releases also: · When booting with kernel-default , the pointing device doesn't work, but after issuing this command as root: # rmmod usbhid && modprobe usbhid then it works ok. If I disconnect the usb cable from laptop and connect it again, it doesn't work anymore till I run rmmod & modprobe command again. · When booting with kernel-desktop, there is no "usbhid" module as I think they're compilen in kernel, so I have no way to make it work. I'm attaching the results of doing.... dmesg ls -l /dev/input ls -l /dev/input/by-id ls -l /dev/input/by-path lsusb -t lsusb -v /var/log/messages when plug ... in both kernels, before and after issuing the rmmod and modprobe commands. Maybe this info is useful for you. I've observed differences in how this device is managed. This device seems to publish a "mouse" device and a "keyb" device, don't know which function provides the latter. Seems the device is a Texas Instruments DDP2430, so is reported on dmesg. Is there a chance I can get this device working on my opensuse ? thanks in advance, Jordi.

[opensuse-kernel] Issues building ARM kernels
by Andrew Wafaa 06 Nov '11

06 Nov '11

Aloha, I've ended up redoing the configs for the target ARM kernels of OMAP, iMX & Tegra. Problem is I'm not 100% sure if they're correct or not. Also and more importantly they fail to build :( If possible could someone have a look at the attached configs and advise on any mistakes? OMAP & iMX complain about warnings being reported as errors and then errors out on building drivers, Tegra errors out on building drivers. I will try and capture the exact errors shortly. Thanks, Andy -- Andrew Wafaa IRC: FunkyPenguin GPG: 0x3A36312F

[opensuse-kernel] Adding dependencies to KMPs
by EXTERNAL Konold Martin (erfrakon, RtP2/TEF72) 04 Nov '11

04 Nov '11

Hi there, I finally managed to create nice KMPs for device drivers. E.g. I created a kmp for the most recent intel e1000e driver so that this updated driver can be installed on OpenSuSE 11.3. I would like to publish the resulting src.rpm/rpms asap. But before doing so I want to have correct dependency information within the rpm. >From looking at other KMPs I learned that they include dependency information about the used kernel symbols like: ksym(pae:pci_bus_read_config_word) = e036c5ed ksym(pae:strcmp) = e2d5255a ksym(pae:input_unregister_handler) = e3552fca ksym(pae:platform_device_put) = e4336df2 ksym(pae:strcpy) = e914e41e ksym(pae:__const_udelay) = eae3dfd6 ksym(pae:_raw_spin_lock_irq) = f333a2fb ksym(pae:mutex_lock) = f3943dac ksym(pae:create_proc_entry) = f6d052ec ksym(pae:acpi_bus_register_driver) = fbf7bb91 ksym(pae:pci_bus_write_config_word) = fd68d613 ksym(pae:ioport_resource) = ff7559e4 Can anyone provide me a hint how to add kernel symbol dependencies to a RPM?
