Yes, that's the one. The kbuild maintainer modified the commit message to add a maintainer Signed-off-by line.
I would say that any kernel versions that are shipped for actively maintained versions of Ubuntu that support hardware platforms that don't use the C version of recordmcount: for file in arch/*/Kconfig; do if ! grep '^[[:space:]]*select HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT $file > /dev/null; then echo $file | cut -f2 -d/; fi; done alpha arc c6x h8300 hexagon ia64 m68k microblaze nds32 nios2 openrisc parisc powerpc riscv s390 sh um unicore32 xtensa This particular problem was observed on powerpc, specifically, ppc64le. Of course, it's up to the Canonical kernel maintainers to decide which kernels could best benefit from a backport; I just wanted to bring the issue and fix to Canonical's attention. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1828084 Title: Kernel modules generated incorrectly when system is localized to a non-English language Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When LANG is set to a non-English language with the relevant language pack installed, Kbuild's recordmcount.pl script fails to function correctly when building out-of-tree kernel modules on architectures that do not use the C version of recordmcount (e.g. ppc64le). This can result in invalid kernel modules being built. This was due to the non-C version of recordmcount relying on parsing the output of objdump(1), which can be localized. This is now fixed in the linux-kbuild tree with the following commit: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/masahiroy/linux- kbuild.git/commit/?h=kbuild&id=7b6954a982e7f60af38b835db52a06afc6e4b84c This commit is not in the torvalds/linux.git tree yet, but it would be good to backport the change to the Ubuntu kernel, particularly the linux-headers packages that are used for building out-of-tree kernel modules. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set LANG to a language other than English (e.g. ja_JP.UTF-8) 2. Make sure that the correct language pack is installed and that localization is working; for example, run a command expected to print an error message, like `cp` with no additional arguments. 3. Install the NVIDIA GPU driver Actual results: The kernel panics when loading the nvidia-modeset kernel module. Expected results: The driver should install and load normally.
