There has been some work to generate module aliases and uevents for x86
CPU features.  This would allow udev to load cpufreq drivers just like
any other device, removing the need for cpufrequtils to know which
drivers handle which CPUs.  It looks like this will be going into Linux
3.4 but I would be open to backporting this feature to 3.2 for wheezy.

The changes I see in linux-next are:

Sorry, this patch probably isn't going to make any difference, as only
processes *not* running as root are affected by the ioctl filtering.
And the patch certainly won't remove the warning message.

Denny, I suspect the RAID failure is due to an error condition that's
detected at boot time and it would have showed up whenever you rebooted,
regardless of any upgrade.  You can probably check this by running an
older version of the Debian installer in rescue mode.

Ben.

Does the attached patch fix this?  This change should be in the longterm
update 2.6.32.56 and we can put it into a stable update pretty soon if
necessary.

You can fairly easily build individual binary packages using the targets

Right.  And I would like to be able to test building udebs for just one
flavour.  That bit is definitely useful.

Theoretically, but the installer never uses such a kernel configuration.

No, you misunderstand.  There was a deliberate change in Linux 2.6.31
that stops hwmon drivers from binding to devices that are used by the
firmware (BIOS).  It looks like that should have happened on this system
as well, but for some reason did not.

If you load the 'thermal' driver then you should be able to get the
temperature (but unfortunately not fan or voltage) readings via the
firmware.

Some shared libraries have code which can't be run without an executable 
stack, it's a small number of libraries that are written in assembler code.  
We want to allow running them but don't want to give all programs permission 
to execute code on the stack.

From memory the GR Security option for this was to flag the rare executables 
that want an executable stack and are permitted to have it.

The solution devised by libc/gcc upstream was to have a special assembly 
section in every shared object that doesn't require an executable stack and if 
an executable only loads shared objects that don't require it then the 
executable stack is disabled.  Then we have SE Linux policy to prevent most 
programs from having an executable stack which means that if they are tricked 
into loading some of the rare libraries that need it then it doesn't do 
anything bad.

The downside to the latter approach is that lots of shared objects which have 
some assembler code needed to be patched.

The PaX approach involved less work.

Well still the user wouldn't know how to configure it...
Actually I must admit that I haven't followed PaX/grsec now for some
time (mainly due to the deb package being always out of date in sid).

Wasn't it once the case with PaX that packages have to be compiled
specially? Or some ELF headers added or so?
And there were no execute features which are perhaps superseded to some
extent (now that AMD64 has NX bit)...
So what I mean in the end,... I'm surely not an expert with respect to
the kernel, but at least I used to have my own .config since years,..
still it would mean quite some effort for me to get PaX/grsec running in
a way that I for myself believe I've done it right.
And this does not include tracing problems (I _very_ vaguely remember
that one had to make exceptions e.g. for Java?)

And that's why I think that such "special" frameworks like PaX/grsec,
SElinux, Apparmor, Smack, etc. pp. make only sense if well supported by
the distro, at least for some (blind guess:) 80-90% of all potential
users.

There is an easy way to benefit from it.  Download and build an
official release.  I assume 'make deb-pkg' works like in mainline

You flatter us.  General experience with kernel development does not
make someone an expert that is capable of understanding all the
implications of rebasing a patch or patch set that modifies many core
kernel features.

I'm coming in late; please forgive my ignorance.

I assume the two patches in question are

 v2.6.35-rc1~521^2~16 (sched: Cure load average vs NO_HZ woes, 2010-08-22)
 v2.6.37-rc7~13^2~5 (sched: Cure more NO_HZ load average woes, 2010-11-30)

The first does not apply cleanly to the 2.6.32.y tree but Lesław Kopeć
backported it.  The other applies cleanly on top (and can be retrieved
in patch form with "git show v2.6.37-rc7~13^2~5").

So what would be most useful is:

 1. Try a pristine 2.6.32.y kernel, to make sure it reproduces the problem.
If you already have a git checkout of the kernel:

cd linux
git remote add stable \
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git
git fetch stable

Otherwise:

git clone -o stable \
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git 
\
  linux
cd linux

Then build and test:

git checkout stable/linux-2.6.32.y
cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config; # stock configuration
make localmodconfig; # optional: minimize configuration
make deb-pkg; # optionally with -j for parallel build
dpkg -i ../
reboot

 2. Try the patches, to make sure they fix it.

cd linux
git apply --index patch1
git apply --index patch2
make deb-pkg; # maybe with -j4
dpkg -i ../
reboot

If the problem is reproducible with current 2.6.32.y and the patches fix it,
we can submit them upstream so everyone benefits.

Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan

Since I've updated my server on Debian Squeeze, my scanner Fujitsu fi-4340C

error when I use scanimage :

The scan worked perfectly before with lenny, I've also tried to compile

scanimage give the same error.

Thanks all for your help.

Problem with it87 sensor in kernel 3.2.2 (sid).

2012-02-02 Thread Sergio Cipolla
Hi, linux-image was updated today from 3.2.1 to 3.2.2 in sid and broke
sensors for it87 chip.
Before the update, messages said:

Feb  2 08:09:55 debian kernel: [   11.269884] it87: Found IT8705F chip at
0x290, revision 2

Feb  2 08:09:55 debian kernel: [   11.270045] it87 it87.656: Detected
broken BIOS defaults, disabling PWM interface

After the update:

Feb  2 13:01:54 debian kernel: [   11.022946] it87: Found IT8705F chip at
0x290, revision 2
Feb  2 13:01:54 debian kernel: [   11.022956] it87: Beeping is supported

Feb  2 13:01:54 debian kernel: [   11.023017] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is
available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver


So this is a regression as this problem used to happen in older kernels and
was solved (
http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/FAQ/Chapter3#Mysensorshavestoppedworkinginkernel2.6.31
 ).

I was about to open a bug report but reportbug was unable to connect to
Debian BTS. So I would like to know if this is really a bug or if I should
find some workaround for it.

Thank you very much.


Allow building a subset of flavous in kernel/udeb build

2012-02-02 Thread Ian Campbell
Hi,

When doing kernel packaging bits work I often find it useful to hack the
package to only build a subset of the normal flavours (for speed etc).
However since udeb support was added this has stopped working (example
below for building only the kirkwood flavour on armel). The problem is
that we are still trying to build the udebs for flavours which are not
enabled and hence can't find the files.

The attached patches allow the kernel build to propagate the flavours it
is interested in to the kernel-wedge side of things and therefore avoid
attempting to build the uninteresting udebs.

I tried to make it such that it was a linux packaging only change but
that would seem to involve parsing the package names output by
gen-control in order to determine which are related to the flavours we
are actually building so we can include only those in the udeb_packages
list, which becomes $(PACKAGE_NAMES) in rules.gen. It seemed like it
would be a bit fragile, although I didn't actually build it.

Since this is a developer "feature" I don't think we particularly need
to bump the build deps for it.

Thoughts?

Is it possible that the same issue exists for disabling featuresets? I
didn't look.

Cheers,
Ian.

Bug#620297: base: vmstat and /proc/loadavg disagree

2012-02-02 Thread Aman Gupta
I'm seeing these issues as well.

The Ubuntu guys pulled the two upstream patches into their 2.6.32
build, and the RedHat guys did the same in their 2.6.35 and 2.6.38
builds. Is there anything preventing us from pulling in the patches
too?

Thanks.  Just for the record, applying as a patch to which kernel
version?

Anyway, as you noticed, the patch in question is queued for 3.2.3.
Thanks for finding it.

2012-02-02 Thread Andreas Fried
Hello,

sorry for not coming back to you earlier, I did not have access to the
oscilloscope until now. The issue is resolved by the folowing commit to
the kernel:

108e02b12921078a59dcacd048079ece48a4a983
(usb-ftdi_sio-fix-initial-baud-rate.patch)

Applying this as a patch to the kernel solves the problem for me.

Thank you very much for your time,

Andreas

I updated yesterday this faulty machine with latest
linux-image-3.2.0-1-amd64 (version 3.2.2-1) and I can confirm that this
bug is still present.

Is there a boot option I can try to get rid of this messages and what
is causing them?

TIA.

No, it maybe the same chip and/or driver. This will help point out the

All the best


Firstly, you should know the abbreviation of GNU -- GNU is not Unix.

The no. 1 reason for bad popularity of Linux/BSD on the Desktops is 
difficult administration (or initial setup, this includes installation, 
tweaking the UI etc... etc... etc...).


Second comes the DE -- Gnome 2 is dead, and with it, gnome as a whole 
too is dead


Then comes the design -- Gnome 3/shell is a proof that Developers cant 
be designers. We need designers and psychologist as contributer too, but 
I don't think we have much of them in the community.


The hardware compatibility -- AH! We need vendor support, and there're 
only going to support if there is *some* usage.


And actually, the UI really doesnt matter to 90% of the the end users 
until it follows traditional norms (taskbar, correct WM, minimize, 
maximize buttons etc...).


You might find the bad administration a disadvantage, but for many it's 
a good, and this's where the scope lies. ;-)


Also you should discuss about this in the debian-project and 
debian-desktop mailing lists -- you left these 2, they were the most 
relevant.
