Greetings!!!
IBM CI has reported kernel boot warnings with next-20251022 kernel. I
see there are couple of warnings hit and eventually system boots to
emergency mode.
With the identified first bad commit, is casuing the kernel to boot to
emergency mode. I reverted the bad commit and built the kernel, then kernel
is booting fine, but with boot warnings.
I guess that it is the same problem which should get fixed by the patch
https://lore.kernel.org/r/e52ee3edf32874da645a9e037a7d77c69893a22a.1760982784.git.jpoim...@kernel.org
Thank you Petr, for pointing to the fix patch. It fixes the kernel booting
to emergency mode.
Great.
But boot warning still persists.
I looks like another problem. I would expect that it is in
the ftrace code, either in the generic or arch-specific part.
Yeah. This is part of arch-specific code that does init of ftrace
out line stubs. The problem seems to be since commit 1ba9f8979426
("vmlinux.lds: Unify TEXT_MAIN, DATA_MAIN, and related macros").
Before this commit, .text.startup section was featured in INIT_TEXT
but now it seems to feature in TEXT. Is this change right/intentional?
If yes, I can post a fix patch in ftrace arch-specific code accordingly.
