[ Impact ]
- * amdsmi 7.2.3 (libamd-smi26) ships four CLI/library bug fixes over the
+ * amdsmi 7.2.4 (libamd-smi26) ships four CLI/library bug fixes over the
7.2.0 release already in resolute:
1. [SWDEV-560235] gpu_board and base_board temperature monitoring was
implemented inline in amdsmi_commands.py, duplicating ~80 lines of
identical logic in both the `metric` and `monitor` code paths. The
refactored helpers get_gpu_board_temperatures /
get_base_board_temperatures
are extracted to amdsmi_helpers.py and two new `amd-smi monitor` flags
are exposed: `--base-board-temps` (-b) and `--gpu-board-temps` (-o).
Systems without the relevant sensors (e.g. MI100, consumer GPUs) see
all values reported as N/A; no behaviour change for existing
invocations.
2. [SWDEV-566465] `amd-smi reset --pptpowerusage` produced malformed JSON
when run across multiple GPUs. In the multi-device path print_output()
was called before store_multiple_device_output(), so each GPU's result
was flushed and the accumulation buffer was cleared prematurely. The
fix moves the early-return guard after store_multiple_device_output().
Single-GPU usage and non-JSON output are unaffected.
3. Fix for CPER AFID list printing garbage values on invalid CPER files —
When amdsmi_cper_decode encountered an unrecognised section type it fell
through to the else branch (logging an error) but then unconditionally
called afids.emplace_back() on the uninitialised afid variable. The fix
initialises afid = -1 before the if/else chain and only appends when
afid >= 0. Symptom: `amd-smi ras --cper` could print spurious integer
values in the AFID column when fed a CPER file with unknown section
types.
4. [SWDEV-560828] `amd-smi ras --cper --follow --file <path>` sent all
output to stdout instead of to the specified file. The CPER display
helpers (display_cper_files_generated, _print_header, dump_cper_entries)
were unconditionally calling print(); they now check the logger's
destination and write to the file when one is set.
- The update also carries a packaging-only change: debian/watch and
- debian/copyright are updated to track amdsmi from the new ROCm/rocm-systems
- monorepo release assets instead of the individual upstream repository.
+ On top of the above, the 7.2.4-1 packaging carries the following
+ packaging-only changes, with no runtime behaviour impact on the binary
+ packages shipped today:
+
+ - d/patches: add DEP-3 Forwarded: not-needed to
+ 0004-modify-shared-lib-loading-path.
+ - d/patches: drop malformed "yes, <url>" prefix from Forwarded in
0005/0006.
+ - d/libamd-smi26-tests.install: fix stale libamd-smi25-tests path (the
+ libamd-smi26-tests binary is not currently built, so this has no effect
+ on the packages actually shipped).
+ - d/upstream/metadata: add Repository field.
+ - d{control,*lintian-overrides}: remove XBSC-Comment field and use plain
+ comment instead.
+ - debian/watch and debian/copyright now track amdsmi from the
+ ROCm/rocm-systems monorepo release assets instead of the standalone
+ upstream repository.
[ Test Plan ]
1. Build:
- - sbuild or dpkg-buildpackage succeeds.
- - dpkg --compare-versions 7.2.3-0ubuntu1 gt 7.2.0-3 confirms the new
+ - dpkg-buildpackage succeeds, both source-only (-S) and binary (-b),
+ built locally in an igor-resolute LXC container and pushed through a
+ full autopkgtest build cycle (see item 3).
+ - dpkg --compare-versions 7.2.4-1~26.04.1 gt 7.2.0-3 confirms the new
version is greater.
- - Run dpkg-gensymbols against libgoamdsmi-shim64-1; confirm no symbols
- added, removed, or changed.
+ - abigail (abipkgdiff) comparing the newly built libamd-smi26 and
+ libgoamdsmi-shim64-1 against the binaries currently published in
+ resolute (7.2.0-3): 0 functions and 0 variables removed, changed, or
+ added in either library. The only differences reported are internal
+ libstdc++ template-instantiation symbols not referenced by debug info
+ (std::regex/std::vector internals), attributable to a compiler/
+ libstdc++ version difference between build environments, not a change
+ to the libraries' public ABI.
+ - lintian run on both the source and binary packages: no errors. Only
+ pre-existing warning/pedantic/experimental-level tags: groff-message
+ on the amd-smi man page, two spelling-error-in-binary hits for
+ upstream string typos baked into libamd_smi.so.26 ("retreive",
+ "wTH"), debian-revision-not-well-formed (expected, from the ~ppa/
+ ~26.04 SRU version suffix), and newer-standards-version.
2. Installability:
- - apt install amdsmi libamd-smi26 python3-amdsmi libgoamdsmi-shim64-1.
+ - apt install amd-smi libamd-smi26 libamd-smi-dev libgoamdsmi-shim64-1
+ libgoamdsmi-shim64-dev — confirmed installable as part of the
+ autopkgtest run below.
- Confirm reverse dependencies remain installable without rebuild.
3. Autopkgtest:
- - Run autopkgtest suite (run-amdsmi) on a GPU-equipped testbed.
- - All tests pass. Output:
+ - Ran the autopkgtest suite (run-amdsmi) on real AMD Strix Halo GPU
+ hardware (gfx1151) in an igor-resolute LXC container (null backend).

[ Where problems could occur ]
1. JSON reset output (fix 2, low risk): Applications parsing the JSON output
of `amd-smi reset --pptpowerusage` on multi-GPU systems were receiving
incomplete or duplicated per-GPU blocks. The fix corrects the ordering;
any code that was working around the broken output may need updating.
2. CPER AFID list (fix 3, very low risk): Systems that were relying on the
garbage AFID values to detect unknown section types will no longer see
them.
The correct behaviour is to omit invalid AFIDs entirely.
3. CPER --follow --file redirection (fix 4, low risk): The change redirects
CPER output away from stdout when --file is specified; any pipeline that
was capturing stdout from `amd-smi ras --cper --follow --file` will now
receive an empty stream (output goes to the file instead). This is the
intended behaviour.
4. New monitor flags (fix 1, no risk for existing invocations): The new
--base-board-temps and --gpu-board-temps flags are purely additive;
default
monitor output is unchanged. On GPUs that do not expose these sensors all
values will be N/A.
+ 5. libamd-smi26-tests install path fix (packaging, no risk): corrects a
+ stale install path that only affects the libamd-smi26-tests binary
+ package, which is not currently built or shipped.
+
[ Other Info ]
- * No ABI breakage: debian/libgoamdsmi-shim64-1.symbols is unchanged between
- 7.2.0 and 7.2.3. The SONAME of the main library remains libamd-smi.so.26.
- * This update is part of the coordinated ROCm 7.2.3 stack release.
+ * No ABI breakage: verified both by dpkg-gensymbols against
+ debian/libgoamdsmi-shim64-1.symbols at build time (no symbols added,
+ removed, or changed) and independently by abigail (abipkgdiff) comparing
the built
+ libamd-smi26 and libgoamdsmi-shim64-1 against the binaries currently
+ published in resolute (7.2.0-3): 0 function/variable ABI changes in
+ either library. The SONAME of the main library remains libamd_smi.so.26;
+ libgoamdsmi_shim64 remains .so.1.
+ * This update is part of the coordinated ROCm 7.2.4 stack release.
