PostPosted: Fri Mar 10, 2006 3:39 am    Post subject: 2.6.16-rc5-no2 "Rock like Ninja"|(All Of -mm)(Susp Reply with quote

Part of conrad projects
Now Based COMPLETELY off of -mm!
This release status:unstable - Reason: -rc* release
2.6.16_rc5-no2"Rock like Ninja"
What is it?
No-Sources is a patchset completely based off of Andrew Mortons -mm kernel. It includes a lot of additional patches that users demand and want, and it includes some performance based patches, as well as -ck patches. It also includes a custom modified suspend2 patch to work with -mm.
-----
SUPPORT
IRC: #no-sources (at FreeNode)
Otherwise, post in this thread
Please do not bug the gentoo devs with any problems from no-sources! cheater-conrad/joecool would much rather hear the problem ;)
-----
[_CPUSCHED_]
(Default = Ingosched)
Code:
{ There are 9 available cpu scheduler you can choose from , either from the kernel config or by using cpusched="nicksched" in /boot/grub/grub.conf
  (assuming you are using grub) as a kernel parameter.

  Available options are:
  cpusched="nicksched"
  cpusched="staircase"
  cpusched="zaphod"
  cpusched="spa_no_frills"
  cpusched="spa_ws"
  cpusched="spa_svr"
  cpusched="spa_ebs)"
  cpusched="ingosched"
  cpusched="ingo_ll" (low latency)
}

-----
NICKSCHED TIMESLICE
The nicksched timeslice is set statically in the code to 128, it is very easy to change, it can be changed by editing.
kernel/nicksched.c

Just search for 128 (only 1 entry) and change it to what you wish.

Am just about to take it for a spin.
Just a minor tweak: In your first wget line, you've got -rc4- instead of -rc5- :-)

It's got a nasty compile error in arch/x86_64/kernel/time.c; there are two different versions of get_cmos_time() in it.

I've backed out the suspend2 patch, and it seems to be compiling fine so far. I'm not quite sure if there's a better solution though - just commenting out the 'new' get_cmos_time didn't work particularly well.

heh thanks tiger :)

I did not get any chance to test it out on x86_64, only standard x86. (I don't install 64-bit gentoo)

I will put the patch in the main post when I get home ;)

Though I don't know if I'd say you are fixing the patchset

Hmm, how I have not seen that in any other case. I would try the config with a different kernel and see if it persists (ie vanilla-sources), if it does not persist, then I will track it further ;)

ok, going to release 2.6.16-rc5-no2 in a few minutes, just a hotfix with tiger's found problem (thanks again tiger) and the default timer frequencies will be changed to that of ck (i.e. the hz-* -ck patches)

Updated to 2.6.16-rc5-no2

Included tiger's small patch to fix time.c for x86_64, also added the hz-* patches from -ck to change the defualt hz values.

It's suspend2 related, so no wonder that vanilla works fine ;)

I thought it was suspend2 related as well, but considering he has no suspend* configuration in his kernel config, and he had this problem with the 2.6.16_rc4-no1 release, I dont think it is suspend2 related. Unless something else in his config is conflicting.

I wish I had more time to look at this issue. I got to go to my dads for the weekend, so I'll see you then.

Hmm :(
It may just be your specific arch, laptop, or whatever. But I will keep working on it.

Looks like I will have to try again :x

cheater1034,
I was wondering if this patch set included the ext3 multiple block allocation patches from mm. I had tried them before on a vanilla, and also tried several mm versions with them already included, and had trouble with random inode blocks having to be constantly repaired on all partitions at bootup. Had to give them up, because I still had the problems even after they supposedly fixed it with a new patch. I looked at your detailed patchlist, and didn't see them, so I'm hopeful they aren't included, or if they are, are now fixed- is this the case?

Guess I'll try the new no-sources anyway, as I just did a fresh nesl247 conrad install with his new guide, and need a new kernel. I've been a long-time user of mm kernels, so no-sources seems to suit me just fine.

Hey, guys!
Had no problems with _rc4, but now _rc5-r1 and -r2 won't boot anymore after choosing them from GRUB menu. Just blank black screen... I'm using the same .config as in _rc4... wtf? :roll:

Well, with this kernel it is completely based off of the -mm patchset. (2.6.16-rc5-mm3) It is not messing around with any of the individual sets of -mm patches. So it is including every single patch from the current -mm kernel, you can see them at, http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.16-rc5/2.6.16-rc5-mm3/broken-out/

I don't know where you've had this problem at, I've been on -mm based kernels for some time, except for 2.6.14/15 I've been on vanilla based kernels with few -mm patches.

I would not worry about it, I think Andrew Morton would realize, and fix it, if the problem was common, because of the degree that -mm goes to (the size of it).

If you have problems I will find a fix, if I can't find one, I will try to make a patch to reverse the ext3* patches from -mm.

Which cpu scheduler are you using? If it is not ingosched, try ingosched and see if it still won't boot.

Also, if you are using a framebuffer/gensplash, make sure splashutils is recompiled, otherwise it won't work on the brand new kernel. If you are using a framebuffer to change the resolution but no gensplash theme, then make sure all the appropriate config options are set. Try to boot with nofb if it is the case, and see if it won't be a blank screen then ;)

If those suggestions don't work, I could take a look at your .config on a pastebin or something :wink:

Thanks cheater1034,
I'm compiling the new no-sources today. In case you're interested in what my problem was about, I have several posts towards the bottom of page 9 on the ext3 tips thread describing it.

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-305871-start-0-postdays-0-postorder-asc-highlight-ext3+tips.html

I eventually traced it to the ext3 multiple block allocation patches, both in mm (but only after Andrew started including them), and self-applied to vanilla. When I dropped them (even after the fix patch was added), at boot it repaired things one last time, and never happened again. Maybe mm is fixed now, and if they are still in there, I won't have the problem. Will post back and let you know.

Hey, guys!
Had no problems with _rc4, but now _rc5-r1 and -r2 won't boot anymore after choosing them from GRUB menu. Just blank black screen... I'm using the same .config as in _rc4... wtf? :roll:


Which cpu scheduler are you using? If it is not ingosched, try ingosched and see if it still won't boot.

Also, if you are using a framebuffer/gensplash, make sure splashutils is recompiled, otherwise it won't work on the brand new kernel. If you are using a framebuffer to change the resolution but no gensplash theme, then make sure all the appropriate config options are set. Try to boot with nofb if it is the case, and see if it won't be a blank screen then ;)

If those suggestions don't work, I could take a look at your .config on a pastebin or something :wink:


with "nofb" I saw this:
