Got the same bug on alternate Lubuntu amd64  i386 (di) installs.
Colors were bright and strange lime green  blue but the installs
proceeded as usual and completed. Reboots were okay and as expected
colors both isos 20120918..

Jeremy's right that this wouldn't affect installed systems with grub2,
in general.  grub2 uses the kernel's 32-bit entry point, which bypasses
the affected code.

[Bug 1049650] Re: Regression: Undefined video mode with 3.5.0-14.16

2012-09-17 Thread Matthias Klose
the pointer to binutils unfortunately wasn't the right one. I always was able 
to reproduce the issue with any binutils version.
there were section sizes for the .videocards section. 0 (the buggy one), 84 
(the correct one), and an even bigger one from comment #8. It was agreed not 
investigate the even bigger one, as it was only seen by one developer and 
couldn't be reproduced.

The root cause was a bug in the gcc-4.7 4.7.1-8ubuntu1 package, that the
unused video_cards static variables were optimized away, even while the
files were built using -fno-toplevel-reorder (which unfortunately was
hidden, because quiet build logs were turned on by default). It is
likely that Debian #687448 is the same issue. -7 and -7ubuntu1 didn't
show the issue, while -8 and -8ubuntu1 did show it, the only change
between these two versions being branch updates, however it couldn't be
reproduced with an upstream build. The issue couldn't be seen with an
update to the recent 4.7 branch (4.7.2 release candidate), which did
land as -9ubuntu1 in the archive.

The suggested kernel fix to explicitly mark the video_cards variables as
used isn't wrong, but maybe not needed. Please consider rebuilding the
linux package using -9ubuntu1/2 when this is available in the archive
for all architectures (even armel), so that files which may be affected
from the issue are correctly rebuilt.

2012-09-14 Thread Matthias Klose
Jakub Jelinek commented on freenode/#gcc:

from quick look at the kernel, I'd say the kernel is buggy
I'd say used attribute is a must in the #define __videocard struct card_info 
__attribute__((section(.videocards)))
because when it declares static __videocard var = { ... }; then the compiler 
has all rights to just nuke those as unused
though I can't reproduce it with:

struct S { int i, j; };
static struct S __attribute__((section (foobar))) s = { 1, 2 };
void foo (void)
{
  s.i = 2;
  s.j = 3;
}

actually, the kernel code is even more insane

struct S { int i, j; void (*p) (void); };
static struct S __attribute__((section (foobar))) s;
static void foo (void)
{
  s.i = 2;
  s.j = 3;
}
static struct S __attribute__((section (foobar))) s = { 1, 2, foo };

if this ever worked, it was purely by accident
note that the struct var is static, not marked as used, only used (visibly to 
the compiler) in a static function that is only referenced from the static 
struct variable's initializer
but please tell me which gcc would not optimize that away, even 4.1 at -O2 does

seems this got broken 4 years ago though

a preprocessed testcase still would be nice to see if for some reason it 
happens not to be optimized out by month old 4.7 and is right now
but the reduced testcase from what I saw in the kernel code really optimizes to 
nothing even in 4.1
even 3.4 does, 3.3/3.2 doesn't at -O2

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel?  Refer
to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest
v3.6 kernel[0] (Not a kernel in the daily directory) and install both
the linux-image and linux-image-extra .deb packages.

Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-
upstream-testing' tag.  Please only remove that one tag and leave the
other tags. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next
to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the
'needs-upstream-testing' text.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following
tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag:
'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, 
please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.  
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as 
Confirmed.


Thanks in advance.

[Bug 1049650] Re: Regression: Undefined video mode with 3.5.0-14.16

2012-09-12 Thread Seth Forshee
This message comes from early boot code, which hasn't changed recently.
The kernel includes a few options for handling video in early boot. Each
option defines a struct that gets linked into a section named
.videocards, and the kernel iterates through the structs in this section
looking for any which can provide mode information. Somehow we're ending
up with nothing in that section.

$ readelf -s setup.elf | grep video_card
   138: 3660 0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 video_cards
   151: 3660 0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT   12 video_cards_end

We should see some space between video_cards and video_cards_end, and
the fact that we don't means the kernel isn't going to find any options
for video.

I verified that beta 1 (3.5.0-13.14) doesn't have this issue. None of
the kernel changes between these versions look like they should have any
impact, so my best guess is that this is caused by some change to the
build tools. Those kernels are built with the same gcc version, but it
does looke like binutils changed recently.

  cjwatson said that this was related to the kernel:
  arch/x86/boot/video.c:332:  printf(Undefined video mode number: 
%x\n, mode);
+ 
+ I don't believe this affects installed Ubuntu with grub2. The Ubuntu
+ install images use isolinux instead.
