a) on the desktop ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), where midi timing delivery is completely 
broken:

# uname -a
Linux gamma 2.6.26.3-rt3 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Sat Aug 23 19:34:05 WEST 2008 
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

# cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
tsc

b) on the laptop ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), where midi seems to work fine:

# uname -a
Linux zeta 2.6.26.3-rt3 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Sat Aug 23 19:14:58 WEST 2008 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

# cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/current_clocksource
hpet


least to say, audio (ie. jackd) works fine on both cases. i've also 
tried to set the clocksource to hpet in a) and got no change in midi/tty 
brokenness.

I haven't noticed any but then again my recent firewire work has been almost
exclusively with ffado.

I don't think I've used my DV camera with 2.6.25 or 2.6.26 - I'd have to
check.  I did do some transfers around March but that would have been under
2.6.24 at the latest.

And there haven't been issues with the old stack in recent kernels? i.e.
2.6.25, 2.6.26 ...

(It's possible the camcorder issues we've had are specific to something
with current debian kernels.)

I've been running a tickless 2.6.26 (NOT 2.6.26.3, and not RT) and USB
sticks have been fine for me.

 The good news is that they seem to be tackling these problems. We might see
 a much more RT-enabled linux in the future. I was quite optmistic after 
reading that
blog.

In the meantime, looks like we should not touch 2.6.26, not even with a 
bargepole.

ah. and more fun to the party: if the pc-keyboard is abused in way above 
said, to let midi delivery work miserably, it just stops working at all. 
you'll end with a dead pc-keyboard, something like its key-buffer gets 
fed up and can't get drained anymore.

 Update: on my laptop, the patched 2.6.26.3 kernel boots into an
 endless list of tracebacks on the console.  On the main box, USB
 MIDI input is only read as soon as a key is pressed on the USB

it just confirmed that NO_HZ is not the culprit here. midi events are 
still being delivered *completely* out of time and the funny thing is it 
just gets somewhat better whenever you hit the pc-keyboard keys. 
however, it all gets back to badness once you stop pressing any key (eg.

another funny thing goes that on a core2 duo T7200 laptop (x86_64) the

What about firewire? has anyone been seeing issues with audio devices or
hard drives?

I know there have been some problems with miniDV camcorders in most
recent kernels.

CONFIG_NO_HZ=y - same norm here; with good results iff it works.

I'll forward this email to LAT. MIDI with 2.6.26 MIDI has not been
mentioned there.

Since there's more of you LAD's compiling your own kernel that does not
work, what about posting .config, version/patchset and compiler info
before we all run into the same walls. - We're planning something like
this with http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/kernel/

Does anyone know of similar projects? How in your opinion can LAO best
supplement [rt] kernel bug tracking?

There's 2.6.26-rtX testing packages from various distributions eg:
http://linux.ilmainen.net/musix/temp/ or at
http://guests.goto10.org/~krgn/files/ more at LAT - none of which is
stable at the moment.

ah, it seems i'm not alone.

i'm currently recovering myself from schock after returning from 
vacation and while trying 2.6.26.x-rt for the rentrée it all seemed to 
work fine except omg... midi timing is a wreck, specially wrt.alsa 
sequencer. event delivery is completely fubar. i mean, completely. true 
showstopper, whatever :(

cacophony seems to be the right word to express what it is.

however, didn't had the time to check whether NOHZ is at stake. i'm 
certainly going back to 2.6.25.x-rt where things are still sane and 
pleasant for a while.

btw, having NOHZ=y (aka tickless kernel) has been the norm here, since 
its inception

Update: on my laptop, the patched 2.6.26.3 kernel boots into an 
endless list of tracebacks on the console.  On the main box, USB MIDI 
input is only read as soon as a key is pressed on the USB keyboard 
(the one with the letters, not the MIDI one ...).  USB MIDI out is 
broken, too.  So it's back to the old version.

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/patch-2.6.26.3-rt2.bz2

worked for me.  Applied cleanly and compiled well after turning off 
some RCU-related preemption options that caused compilation errors, 
but I was in no mood to find out the exact how and why.  So far, it 
has collected a few hours of solid uptime too, but I haven't done any 
latency measuring.

I was told to revert to 2.6.24.17 (not possible in my specific
case, but there you go), in this list. Or to join the tuner's list.

[LAD] Patching linux 2.6.26.3

2008-08-20 Thread Julien Claassen
Hi all!
   I'm trying to patch the linux kernel version 2.6.26.3 with the rt-patch. But 
there's only a patch for 2.6.26. It's not working very well. Because some 
changes were already taken into the kernel. Which command should I use to do 
the patch properly. Or should I stop patching all together? Or is there 
another experimental place to get newer rt-patches.
   Thanks and kindest regards
   Julien
