[CentOS-virt] CentOS virt-sig Linux kernel 4.9.155 build

2019-02-09 Thread Pasi Kärkkäinen
Hello everyone,

Some of you might remember discussions earlier in 2017 (huh, long time ago) on 
centos-virt list about Linux kernel tty/ldisc related bug, which caused Xen 
dom0 kernel crashes for some people (and also more easy to trigger crashes on 
other arches, like on hp pa-risc), but the bug was difficult to reproduce for 
others/most people.

Fix for this issue was merged to centos virt-sig Linux 4.9.48-29 kernel earlier 
in 2017, but reverted/deleted in 4.9.75-30 due to problems with the patch. The 
patch in question was also merged to upstream Linux kernel, and later reverted 
there aswell.

But now finally the issue has been resolved in upstream Linux, and the patches 
have been already backported to Linux 4.9.152 longterm stable kernel. 
Changelog: https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/ChangeLog-4.9.152
You can find the tty/ldisc patches there.

So I propose we build the latest 4.9.155 kernel for CentOS virt-sig for centos6 
and centos7.



Thanks,

-- Pasi

It seems currently "centos-release-xen" package is broken in CentOS7,
it points to xen-46 repo, which isn't available anymore in CentOS 7.6:

http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/virt/x86_64/

-> xen-48/
-> xen-410/


# yum clean all
# yum search centos-release-xen
..
centos-release-xen.x86_64 : CentOS Virt SIG Xen repo configs
centos-release-xen-48.x86_64 : CentOS Virt Sig Xen repo configs for Xen 4.8
centos-release-xen-common.x86_64 : CentOS Virt Sig Xen support files
..

# yum install centos-release-xen
# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Xen.repo 

# CentOS-Xen.repo

[centos-virt-xen-46]
name=CentOS-$releasever - xen
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/virt/$basearch/xen-46
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1

I guess two things should happen in CentOS7:

1) Publish centos-release-xen-410 package
2) Update centos-release-xen package to point to.. 410 ?

Ah, actually it's there already in xen-48 and xen-410 dirs, but not in CentOS 
extras.

So it seems the "centos-release-xen" package in "extras" repo has the xen-46 
reference in it.
So we should update the package in extras.
