Hello bugproxy, or anyone else affected, Accepted librtas into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/librtas/1.3.13-1~14.04 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance! ** Description changed: + [Justification] + librtas is an interface to a hardware management system specific to IBM POWER servers. It is built for Ubuntu's powerpc and ppc64el architectures. However, the version in Ubuntu 14.04 lacks full support for running on a little-endian host (ppc64el); and because powerpc is a 32-bit host OS its usage on IBM POWER servers is minimal. This is a hardware-enablement SRU to fix behavior of librtas on ppc64el. + + [Test case] + Proper functioning of librtas to be confirmed by IBM. + + [Regression potential] + The new upstream version of librtas includes endianness fixes and new APIs. The current package is of minimal utility on powerpc and is known to not work on ppc64el. Risk of regression is negligible. + + ---Problem Description--- Please include these additional patches to fix support for LE. - - Machine Type = POWER8 - - - Userspace tool common name: rtas_errd - - Userspace package: librtas + + Machine Type = POWER8 + + Userspace tool common name: rtas_errd + + Userspace package: librtas Please pull below patchset from upstream. upstream repo : git://git.code.sf.net/p/librtas/code - commit 1d54a4a346f9111e1326dfdec756fd78360add42 Author: Nathan Fontenot <nf...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Date: Fri Oct 17 10:18:40 2014 -0400 - When we pass _hi and _lo 32bits of a 64bit value, we - should convert the host endian value carefully. - - i.e, - X_hi = htobe32(BITS32_HI(X)) - X_lo = htobe32(BITS32_LO(X)) - - and not : - X_hi = BITS32_HI(htobe64(X)) - - NOTE: This patch is untested, but I believe this patch - is good to have than the current faulty conversion. - - This patch fixes all such occurrences in librtas. - - Signed-off-by: Suzuki K.
