masashi9101. Combine root filesystem with kselftest binary - iwamatsu09:01
masashi910Iwamatsu-san, are you around?09:01
masashi910Let's come back if he joins.09:01
masashi9102. Do some experiment to lower burdens on CI - patersonc09:01
masashi910Chris-san, do you have any updates?09:02
patersoncI've done a workaround for the issue09:02
patersoncStill need to play around with having our repo in the docker image09:02
patersoncpave1: Have you seen any issues recently?09:03
pave1patersonc: Not recently. It is better now AFAICT.09:04
patersoncThanks09:04
masashi910patersonc: So, shall I close this AI or keep it open?09:04
patersoncKeep it open for now, thanks09:05
masashi910patersonc: Sure. Thanks!09:05
masashi9103. Check hitachi_omap defconfigs wrt CVE-2020-27820 [drm/nouveau UAF] - Hitachi-team09:05
masashi910I believe Hitachi-team is under investigation according to Kawai-san's mail.09:05
masashi910https://lore.kernel.org/cip-dev/TYAPR01MB242955EF692D73FD473196EDB5DC0@TYAPR01MB2429.jpnprd01.prod.outlook.com/09:05
masashi910So, let me move on.09:06
masashi9104. Discuss an open issue (https://gitlab.com/cip-project/cip-kernel/cip-kernel-sec/-/issues/8)09:06
masashi910      - the necessity to track issues that have been retired by distros - Kernel Team09:06
masashi910This "issue" points out that there is a possibility to overlook some security patches based on the timing, and the author tries to take a look at retired patches as well.09:06
masashi910Does anybody have any opinion?09:06
wensI ran into a new issue this week that Debian tracked then subsequently retired09:07
wensI believe they promptly retired it because as far as they were concerned, it was fixed for all their kernels09:08
pave1Well..09:08
pave1There's ton of bugs in the kernel, some of them get CVE ids.09:09
pave1The ones getting CVE ids are not neccessarily more important then the other ones.09:09
pave1Yes, we can spend more efforts tracing the CVE ones.... but that only helps if we still have time for the others.09:10
pave1You can google "crypto: ecdh - avoid buffer overflow in ecdh_set_secret()".09:10
pave1I don't think it is going to get CVE id, still it is as important as other bugs that _do_ get CVE id.09:11
wens:/09:11
patersoncShould more work be done to give cves to such (or all) issues?09:12
pave1Well... that's of course one possible solution.09:12
pave1Or "solution". Because it would result in a lot of work for everyone involved.09:12
patersoncIndeed09:13
pave1And goal is to have non-buggy kernel. Not 30 CVEs a week.09:13
pave1So.. at some point we may want to trust -stable maintainers that they are putting the relevant fixes in.09:14
pave1They are really merging a lot of stuff, and are erring on "lets merge this it might fix something" side...09:14
masashi910wens, pave1, patersonc: Thanks for your discussions.09:15
masashi910This deeply relates with our future task. So, let's discuss this in another thread.09:15
wensagree. CVE tracking helps more in situations like "Intel forgot to tag fixes for stable"09:15
masashi910So, I would like to close this AI for now. We need to revisit this anyway.09:16
masashi910So, let's move on.09:16
masashi9105. Decide the timing to branch 5.10 to start CIP development - Kernel Team09:16
masashi910Pavel-san has already started reviewing 4.4/4.19/5.10.09:16
masashi910https://lore.kernel.org/cip-dev/20201230111924.GA2691@duo.ucw.cz/09:16
masashi910Also, Pavel-san and Chris-san are discussing 5.10 testing config/environment.09:17
masashi910https://lore.kernel.org/cip-dev/20210104121516.GA11126@duo.ucw.cz/09:17
masashi910Does anybody have any idea when to start CIP development with 5.10?09:17
pave1To clarify. I review 4.19... If it means 4.4 and 4.10 patch gets reviewed at the same time, yes, I review those too.09:17
patersoncWhat "development" actually needs to be done? Presumably we just follow stable until someone submits CIP only patches?09:17
pave1But I did not start specifically reviewing 5.10 patches... I wanted to ask if we should be doing that.09:18
wensmaintaining the -rt branch?09:18
patersoncWe need to sort out what reference platforms we want to support, and what Kernel configs we want to support09:18
pave1Well, actually reviewing 5.10 patches would be one thing. Testing, second.09:19
pave1Making sure patches for 4.19-cip are also merged to 5.10-cip would be third.09:19
patersoncAll of the patches?09:20
patersoncDid we do that for 4.4 -> 4.19?09:21
pave1patersonc: If a fix is merged into 4.19-cip, we want it in 5.10-cip, too.09:21
pave1I mean... if Renesas submits fix for their board to 4.19-cip, we want it to be in 5.10-cip tree, too.09:21
pave1We don't need to do that for stable patches, hopefully Greg does right job there.09:22
patersoncOkay. In theory they should be as we upstream first. Although there will be a small difference between 5.10 and mainline now09:22
pave1Yes. We are now getting patches for 4.19 that are from 5.11-rc2.09:22
patersonc👍09:22
pave1There is just a small ammount of them.09:23
pave1(I got unicode something I don't understand :-( )09:23
masashi910It looks like we need some criteria agreed before "starting development".09:24
masashi910Let's discuss it offline via email.09:24
masashi910Shall we move on?09:25

*** brlogger changes topic to "Kernel maintenance updates (Meeting topic: CIP IRC weekly meeting)"09:25
p4v31I have reviewed 4.19.164 and 4.19.165. I'm working on scripts that make it easier to review commits from multiple versions.09:25
masashi910p4v31: Are you Pavel-san?09:26
pave1Yep, sorry. My irc client... needs some work.09:26
masashi910pave1: I see. Thanks for your works!09:27
wens6 new CVEs from the past three weeks. Of them, CVE-2020-27066 from Android seems bogus; CVE-2020-36158 [mwifiex] fix will need backporting.09:27
pave1wens: The mwifiex thing looks trivial to backport. Not sure why it is not there, yey.09:28
pave1yet.09:28
wensI can check the stable queue.09:29
masashi910wens: Thanks for your works! Please allow me to refer your three reports here for the record.09:29

wenshmm, nothing in the queue.09:30
pave1wens: My suggestion would be to revisit the issue in a week or two :-).09:30
wenspave1: the patch wasn't tagged for stable09:30
wenspave1: agreed09:30
masashi910wens, pave1: Shall I open an AI to track CVE-2020-36158?09:30
wensmasashi910: Yes please. Let's keep it on the board for two weeks.09:31

masashi910wens: Please.09:31
wensebardie has worked on some improvements to the Debian importer for cip-kernel-sec09:32
wensGitLab is not working properly to create merge requests though.09:32
masashi910wens: Ok, so, how should it be dealt with?09:33
wenswithout MRs, I suppose I could directly review the commits, but the review history would get lost?09:34
wensmasashi910: who would have authority to reach out to GitLab about the issue?09:34
pave1wens: I believe that is reasonable workaround. It is not that history for our support scripts is super important.09:34
wensOK. I can start reviewing then, though I believe GitLab should be fixed properly.09:35
wensIs anyone hitting the same roadblock on other repositories?09:36
masashi910wens: Thanks. Don't you have authory to fix GitLab?09:36
wensmasashi910: we would need to reach out to GitLab support09:37
patersoncWe should raise an issue on their support forum at least09:37
masashi910wens: I see.09:38
masashi910wens: anyway, I would appreciate it if you can start reviewing.09:38

*** brlogger changes topic to "Kernel testing (Meeting topic: CIP IRC weekly meeting)"09:39
patersoncI hope to start getting CI running on the 5.10 stable-rc releases soon, at least on in-tree defconfigs. After that we need to decide what CIP specific configs we want to support/test.09:39
patersoncAnd what the official reference platforms are09:39
patersoncI guess that's a topic for the TSC though09:39
pave1Actually... It might be better to do it the other way around :-).09:40
patersoncTrue09:40
pave1Just run the configs from 4.19, so we can tell TSC "hey, these platforms work".09:40
patersoncGood shout09:41
pave1I assume/hope everything will just work, but it would good to confirm before something becomes "officially supported".09:41
patersoncIndeed09:41
masashi910patersonc: Thanks for your works!09:42
