wensyay, severe performance regression in 4.19.x on x86 :(07:44
wenssince 4.19.67 even, from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=linux-4.19.y&id=46b306f3cd7b07:46
szlindoes it affect 4.19 only?07:49
wensnooooo, it's also in 4.14, 4.9, and 4.407:51
wensit severely affects fork performance if CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y07:51
szlinhowa bout mainline?07:51
wensstill need to test CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=n, but based on the fix: https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/1137341/ it should be ok07:52
wensszlin: I would say yes, but PTT doesn't run mainline kernel :p07:52
wenssince the fix is still only in -next, mainline is likely to be affected07:53
szlinwens: I see, thanks. Maybe PTT can choose cip kernel in the future :p07:54
wensI'm using 4.19 for now, but we rarely update the kernel, as it's a pain to restart the machine07:55
wensanyway, that's my rant for the day08:12
*** fujita3 has joined #cip08:51
wenswell, CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=n only fixes part of it.08:59

masashi910== Quote from Iwamatsu-san ==09:03
masashi910I reviewed 4.4.202, and stable-rc on stable ML.09:03
masashi910I send some comments for 4.19.y and other.09:03
masashi910====09:03
pave1I reviewed 4.19.88 and started reviewing 4.19.89.09:03
masashi910pave1: thanks!09:04
masashi910SZ-san, Wen-san, do you have updates?09:04
wensclassify-failed-patches now includes more patches from the stable mailing list09:04
wensfinal step would be to include all the stable review series09:05
wensalso, cip-kernel-sec has seen a few more CVEs09:05
wenswill do another round of updates for cip-kernel-sec tomorrow.09:05
bwhI have been working on kernel-sec, including reviewing wens's changes. Also reviewed some y2038 patches upstream.09:05
pave1Speaking of failed patches... I don't monitor that closely,09:06
pave1but if there are changes that should be backported, I guess09:06
pave1I can try to help...?09:06
szlinmasashi910: none from me this week.09:07
wenspave1: I saw at least some ext4 patches, though I need to take a closer look09:08

masashi910patersonc: the floor is yours09:10
patersoncHello09:10
patersoncThis week I've seen a few build issues on the stable-rc branches for 4.4 and 4.19.09:10
patersoncTroublesome patches identified and reported to Greg.09:10
patersoncI've enabled arm, arm64 and x86 defconfig builds for the stable-rc testing.09:10
patersoncI've also been working on enabling the Siemens boards in our CI.09:10
patersoncBuilds are working okay, but haven't got the x86 board booting yet.09:10
patersoncIf anyone is x86 savvy can has a few minutes after the meeting I'd be glad for a few minutes of your time.09:10
pave1Savvy, I don't know, but I guess I can try to help.09:11
wensI don't know why odd dts patches get backported, while the related dtsi patches get missed :(09:11
patersoncThat's it from me. Any questions?09:11
patersoncwens: Indeed09:11
pave1And sorry for -rt still being on old .yml versions, we can talk about that later, too.09:11
patersoncpave1: Thanks09:11
pave1wens: Basically Sasha tries to backport _everything_ without checking closely if it is needed or not :-(.09:12
masashi910patersonc: thanks for working with Greg. By installing the fix, the issues were all solved?09:12
wenspave1: is there a way to tell his bot to not select certain patches (by file path?)09:12
szlinwens: many ppl did that via email...09:13
patersoncmasashi910: Issues resolved by dropping patches.09:13
wensszlin: I suppose that didn't work?09:13
masashi910patersonc: thanks!09:13
pave1wens: I believe we can take a trip to U.S.A. and take away his computer :-).09:13
wenslol09:13
*** suzuki98 has quit IRC09:13
*** kazu has quit IRC09:13
wenshe'll just get a new one09:14
pave1wens: I guess we can talk to Greg, explain that this causes problems for us,09:14
*** kazu has joined #cip09:14
pave1wens: and try to get him to do more reasonable patch selection.09:14
pave1wens: We are not only ones with this problems -- SuSE is not happy, either.09:14
patersoncI guess it's a problem for everyone, not just us09:14
wensfor my platform at least, dts/dtsi patches go hand in hand with driver patches09:15
patersoncIt just shows the value in us testing the stable release candidates09:15
pave1wens: I tried to talk to Greg in person, but I guess I did not get the message accross.09:15
*** suzuki15 has joined #cip09:15
pave1wens: If you want to exclude few .dts files, it should be enough to promise you'll do the stable marking for them.09:15
wensthanks, I'll discuss this with my co-maintainer and see what we can do09:15
pave1wens: That should actually be quite easy to do. (And does not include forced entry into buildings :-) )09:16

pave1wens: 4.19 regression...09:32
pave1wens: fortunately it is "only performance"...09:32
suzuki15thank you!09:33
wenspave1: I'll send out an email about this to the stable ML later09:33
*** suzuki15 has quit IRC09:33
bwhI notice 4.19 is also missing commit 9a62d20027da, which looks really bad for x86-32 (so I wonder why it wasn't found earlier)09:33
pave1wens: and unfortunately kpti is "new" (and forced to us by hw issues), so it might be hard.09:33
pave1wens: If you could cc me at pavel@denx.de...09:33
wenssure09:33
pave1bwh: I suspect I'm the last one running x86-32 :-).09:34
wenspave1: this server now runs with mitigations=off :)09:34
bwh$ git grep -l X86_32=y09:34
bwh4.4.y-cip-rt/x86/siemens_i386-rt.config09:34
bwh4.4.y-cip/x86/siemens_iot2000.config09:34
patersoncbwh: Currently we only build those configs. No testing09:35
pave1bwh: But that hardware is 64-bit capable, right?09:35
bwhI don't think so09:35
pave1bwh: aha, oops.09:35
pave1bwh: that may be some fun in future, because not many people are running x86-32 on next / recent mainline.09:36
pave1bwh: I do, but I suspect I'm the only one.09:37
pave1bwh: Testing mainline on our x86-32 boards might be good idea to keep ammount of regressions low.09:38
bwhMight be worthwhile, yes09:38
bwhThere are still Debian users that care about i386, but I think they mostly run stable09:38
* patersonc waves for x86 help...09:39
pave1bwh: Yes, I suspect quite a lot of users run x86-32 on various distribution kernels.09:39
pave1patersonc: Go ahead.09:39
patersoncAny suggestions as to what is going wrong here? https://lava.ciplatform.org/scheduler/job/814109:39
patersoncRFS isn't mounting09:39
patersoncIt's using siemens_ipc227e_defconfig09:40
patersoncI don't know if it's a LAVA issue or a config issue09:40
patersoncMentor have been using vmlinuz images, but it would make things a little easier for me if I can get bzImage working09:41
pave1Do you have CONFIG_NFS and CONFIG_NFS_ROOT enabled?09:41
pave1Let me take a look.09:41
bwhI don't see any "IP-Config" message09:41
pave1exactly.09:41
patersoncOkay09:43
patersoncHere's a healthy job: https://lava.ciplatform.org/scheduler/job/822309:43
patersoncUsing vmlinuz09:43
patersoncWhich has Ip-Config09:43
pave1CONFIG_IP_PNP_DHCP=y09:45
pave1It seems to have dhcp enabled.09:45
patersoncSorry, I need to afk for 15 mins09:47
pave1I don't see driver for network card.09:47
pave1I believe driver for network card needs to be enabled in kconfig.09:48
*** toscalix has joined #cip09:51
bwhYeah, either you need IP_PNP, IP_PNP_DHCP, ROOT_NFS, and the net driver built-in *or* you must use an initramfs with nfsroot support09:52
pave1Hmm. Bad Siemens.09:53
pave1https://mall.industry.siemens.com/mall/en/WW/Catalog/Products/10255625#Technical specifications09:53
pave1It explains that ethernet is 2x gigabit, but not what chip it uses.09:54
pave1bwh: Yeah. I guess for our testing building driver in is easier.09:54
patersoncBack10:01
pave1welcome :-)10:02
pave1See above.10:02
pave1.yml in -cip-rt: They did not make it, yet. They should make it during the next cycle.10:02
pave1Would it help testing if I merge them early?10:02
patersoncpave1: It doesn't really matter tbh10:03
patersoncFor now it can wait10:03
pave1patersonc: Ok, good, easier for me :-).10:03
patersoncSo it looks like the MAC isn't being set properly: https://lava.ciplatform.org/scheduler/job/8141#L19810:05
patersoncApparently this is an issue with the version of LAVA we're using10:05
patersoncBut somehow it doesn't affect things when using vmlinuz10:05
pave1Well, the MAC address - not sure what LAVA is trying to do there.10:06
pave1But you really need driver for the ethernet, and you don't seem to have one.10:06
pave1MAC may be secondary problem (or not).10:06
patersoncSo how is NFS mounting for the vmlinuz case?10:07
patersoncDoes vmlinuz have more things built in?10:07
pave1Do you have a boot log where it works ok10:07
pave1?10:07
patersonchttps://lava.ciplatform.org/scheduler/job/822310:07
pave1Thanks, let me take a look.10:08
pave1[    3.327006] igb 0000:02:00.0: eth0: (PCIe:2.5Gb/s:Width x1) 20:87:56:b6:21:d010:08
pave1Can you enable CONFIG_IGB in kconfig?10:10
pave1It is =m, but needs to be =y.10:10
patersoncAh that's another point10:12
patersoncI haven't included the Kernel modules in LAVA10:12
patersoncs|I|the scripts10:12
pave1You should not _need_ kernel modules for the boot test. And IGB will need to be built-in anyway due to nfsroot.10:14
*** kazu has quit IRC10:15
patersoncOkay10:16
patersoncI'll try a local build with CONFIG_IGB10:16
pave1(y)10:17
*** toscalix has quit IRC10:19
pave1(See you, if the boot problem persists, we can discuss over email).10:32

patersoncbwh: I'm having a go at generating the .sources list for the cip-kernel-config repo14:53
patersoncHow can I do it for just one config?14:53
bwhYou should be able to give that filename as the target for make14:54
patersoncOkay14:55
patersoncit looks like it tries to go to a directory ../kernel14:56
patersoncDo I just hack the Makefile according to my setup?14:56
bwhyou can put KSRC=... on the make command line14:56
patersoncDo I also need to set the crosscompiler and arch?14:58
patersoncI guess so15:00
patersoncLooks like it's compiling now15:01
patersoncThanks bwh15:01
bwhThe ARCH is automatically set based on the filename, and CROSS_COMPILE is set automatically based on the ARCH (but it might not guess right)15:04
