 Hi folks

 Following the discussion some weeks ago I have a patch to fix most of
 the problematic userspace header changes in 2.6.26.

I believe the following other incompatible changes should be addressed:

 asm-arm/unistd.h - changed a syscall define from __NR_timerfd to
__NR_timerfd_create, unknown impact on existing applications
 linux/msdos_fs.h - dropped the #define for FAT_VALID_MEDIA

 However I decided to ignore the following changes:
 - sparc: Removed a.out definitions, SunOS/Solaris emulation only
 - sparc: Removed SunOS/Solaris interface definitions

I'm somewhat skeptical about dropping these; there are lots of things that
like to include the kernel ELF headers, sometimes for no apparent reason, so
it's possible that something is trying to include a.out on sparc or use
other compat interfaces.

But we can watch for this and deal with it only if and when it causes a
problem, if the rest of the release team is ok with it.  If it does cause
problems, we should be prepared to restore these defns rather than spend
time on a full-archive hunt for incompatibilities.

 - Definitions for AF_WANPIPE socket

Seems ok, any regression is going to be very localized.

If someone can take care of patching the two issues mentioned above, then
I'm happy with a 2.6.26 upload to unstable.  Otherwise I'll work on the
patch myself tomorrow night.

NR_CPUS in debian linux-images

2008-07-29 Thread maximilian attems
hello

after getting an irc query and bug report on our currently set number of
cpu for the upcoming lenny release:
/boot/config-2.6.26-1-amd64:CONFIG_NR_CPUS=32

- http://bugs.debian.org/491309

we came to this issue:
10:13 waldi 1345623 3148364  417112 4911099  4aeffb x86_64-255/vmlinux
10:13 waldi 1339887  380556  273880 1994323  1e6e53 x86_64-32/vmlinux
10:13 waldi only change is the number of cpus *gna*

10:16 waldi struct irq_cfg irq_cfg[NR_IRQS] __read_mostly = {
10:18 waldi yeah, 2.5MiB just for the interrups
10:19 waldi #define NR_IRQS (256 + (32 * NR_CPUS))
10:29 waldi and because some parts have static initializers, it can't be moved
 into the bss section

the debian installer cares about the image size.

thanks for your input, as i see that you do the 4k cpu work on 2.6.27.

Re: NR_CPUS in debian linux-images

2008-07-29 Thread Frederik Schueler
Hi,

from cujrrent intel and amd roadmaps, expect 4-way and 8-way 12 core
boxes during the lenny life cycle.

I think NR_CPUS should really be set to 96, at least.

What is the actual limit?

Not raising this setting means loosing even more on the enterprise and
HPC terrain.

This are SunOS interfaces, so the users are completely sparc specific. I
did a check over all possible packages and found nothing. It makes not
much sense anyway to use them, most likely the kernel interface is
already broken.

thanks waldi and vorlon!

currently open, but not blockers (they can be added on the way):

 On a slightly separate but related note, I'm uploading
 user-mode-linux_2.6.25-2 now to fix a build error on x84_64.
 
 Uml 2.6.25 is not in testing yet (my fault, didn't have time to get on
 top of that recently) so I was wondering what are the plans for
 linux-source-2.6.25.
 Are you going to remove it from unstable and eventually realize the
 backup plan via tpu uploads?

2.6.25 linux source will be gone.

it is unlikely that the backup plan will come into effect.
 
 The current version in testing is unmaintainable as it build-depends on
 linux-source-2.6.24 which is not available anymore and it doesn't make
 any sense to realease it in lenny. On the other hand what is the
 scenario if 2.6.25 goes missing in unstable while uml is not in testing
 yet?

ask to push user-mode-linux soonest and update it when linux-2.6 hits
unstable which should be soonest.

 thanks for your input, as i see that you do the 4k cpu work on 2.6.27.
 

Hi,

Yes, we are aiming at having NR_CPUS=4096 as the default for distros using
2.6.27.  The above structure is by far the biggest memory hog (along with the
companion irq_desc[]) and we've targeted the next release to go to dynamically
allocated irq's (which btw, hopefully will have NR_CPUS=16384.)  The problem
with irq_cfg is that each element contains a cpumask_t field so growing NR_CPUS
causes an exponential increase.

You could look at the 2.6.27 version of include/asm-x86/irq_vectors.h to see
how NR_IRQ's is somewhat lessened (at least from a NR_CPUS=4096 perspective.)

Thanks,
Mike

I believe it is ok.  The number of irq's is not really based on NR_CPUS but
the number of IO_APICS.  But I can't say for sure as I've been solely focused
on 2.6.27 and haven't been following the breakup of NR_IRQS, NR_IRQ_VECTORS
and NR_VECTORS and how they are used in various places.

Btw, the biggest problem I found with increasing NR_CPUS was overflowing the
stack, though I doubt increasing to 96 or 128 will trigger any of the hot spots
fixed in 2.6.27.

Thanks,
Mike

2008-07-29 Thread Bob Goldberg
Hi-
 
I can see in the message thread, it appears this problem has been fixed.
However, I can't find a version of the ccs package other than ver.
1.03.00-2.
 
I've looked everywhere, even in backports.
 
If this was fixed, could someone point me to where the new package is?
(it also does not show up in updates under aptitude).

Package: linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64

Justification: kernel panic

*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hello,

I installed today debian on a MSI MegaBook PR200 the new kernel image 
linux-image-2.6.25-2-amd64 and
I wasn't able to boot it since it panics when trying to mount the root
partition. The previous kernel I had instlled, linux-image-2.6.24-1-amd64, has 
no such prblem and
boots just fine.

The root parition is on LVM and the bootloader is lilo.

Sorry for the lack of information, I will provide it, if necessary.
