3.5 merge started

Mostly as FYI, I've started building the 3.5 merge window kernels today.
The one building in Koji right now boots on my local x86_64 system
without issue.  I'm not sure if that trend will continue, but I plan on
testing locally before I do koji builds.

I've done the first round of Kconfig options settings.  Secondary
architectures, please review this and let me know if you want/need
something set differently from how I have it.

NOTE: The ARM configs are both confusing and too numerous, so I have not
touched those.  Also, the kernel-3.5.0-arm.config file seems to be dummy
and winds up with a lot of options unset.  The ARM team will need to do
some config option settings, preferrably sooner rather than later.
Perhaps as time goes on, I'll gain a better understanding of what to set
where and how.

What is the earliest x86 64bit CPU we support?

So... what is it?

I think the earliest is the AMD Opteron (2003).

From a "earliest in each family" perspective, I think the answer is:

AMD: AMD Opteron (2003).
Intel: Intel Xeon (Nocona) (2004)
VIA: VIA Nano (2008)

Excluding Itanium (thank god), are there any other early x86 64bit CPUs
that I'm missing or any that we explicitly no longer support?

CONFIG_NR_CPUS


> * Tue Jan 17 2012 Dave Jones <davej <at> redhat.com>

_today_

amd:   4sockets * 16cores = 64
intel: 4sockets * 10cores * 2threads = 80

mount --move

I'm pretty sure that in 3.3.2-6.fc16.x86_64 this sequence worked:

  mkdir -p /tmp/testing
  cd /tmp/testing/
  mkdir -p foo bar
  mount -t tmpfs tmpfs foo/
  mount --move foo bar/

With 3.3.5-2.fc16.x86_64 the last step gives:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /tmp/testing/foo,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

Didn't test any kernels between those two.

Is this a bug or feature? Didn't see anything is syslog.

Re: Experimental kernels with inode-uprobes, without utrace

Hello All,

  I've built kernels with uprobes patches for Fedora 17 and Rawhide. All
backported uprobes patches are in -tip:perf/uprobe tree and aimed for
linux-3.5 merge.
  Git tree: http://j.mp/JDu8sM
  Fedora Yum repo: http://j.mp/LN8vZO
  How to try uprobes using perf or sysfs: http://j.mp/LN9fhi http://j.mp/KwKzs4

cheers,
Anton Arapov.

[PATCH] sunrpc: set CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG=y in config.debug

This is quite handy for debugging but was recently made optional in
mainline kernels since it shrinks the size of the rpc/nfs modules
substantially if you turn it off.

This patch turns it on in debug kernels. Should we also consider
reenabling this in non-debug kernels?

Fwd: [PATCH 2/2] ARM: audit: use only AUDIT_ARCH_ARM regardless of endianness

Please apply to our Fedora kernels.

-------- Original Message --------
Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ARM: audit: use only AUDIT_ARCH_ARM regardless of

Date: Fri,  4 May 2012 17:53:52 +0100
From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@...>
To: patches@...
CC: stable@...

The machine endianness has no direct correspondence to the syscall ABI,
so use only AUDIT_ARCH_ARM when identifying the ABI to the audit tools
in userspace.

Fwd: [PATCH 1/2] ARM: audit: fix treatment of saved ip register during syscall tracing

Please apply to our Fedora kernels.

-------- Original Message --------
Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ARM: audit: fix treatment of saved ip register
during syscall tracing
Date: Fri,  4 May 2012 17:52:02 +0100
From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@...>
To: patches@...
CC: stable@...

The ARM audit code incorrectly uses the saved application ip register
value to infer syscall entry or exit. Additionally, the saved value will
be clobbered if the current task is not being traced, which can lead to
libc corruption if ip is live (apparently glibc uses it for the TLS
pointer).

This patch fixes the syscall tracing code so that the why parameter is
used to infer the syscall direction and the saved ip is only updated if
we know that we will be signalling a ptrace trap.
