Think there are logs there with it off 15:09:33 jlinton: with some guidance I am happy to help 15:10:03 I've been testing kernels for armhfp, but userspace status is completely unknown in F33 15:10:13 Well, I've just applied the fedora ./configure settings to a git tree, then I started bisecting the branch as I mentioned in the defect. 15:10:58 that should get you to the failing commit, and from there stepping the early init should get you to the crashing command 15:11:03 Its the latter I haven't done. 15:13:08 jlinton: do you think you will have time for the latter? 15:15:14 or do we have someone else that can take a look? 15:16:34 No, let me drop this _DMA() so I can just focus on the glibc and the coresight patches. 15:16:48 thanks jlinton 15:17:21 big thanks jlinton 15:17:43 #topic 2) ==== Kernel Status ==== 15:17:55 #info kernel-5.8.0-0.rc1.1.fc33 15:17:55 #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1523678 15:18:16 started to test this week, no issues so far on either armhfp or aarch64 15:18:19 Ok, yah there is a acpi _DMA() limit/mask problem, seemingly only with the xhci 15:19:01 keeps machines with ZONE_DMA requirements from working (rpi4 being one) 15:20:08 there's another regression with the rpi too, I think rpi3, but the maintainer is looking at that 15:20:23 I'm slowly catching up on kernel stuff 15:20:31 I thought it would be straightforward but the adapter takes a generic fault, so I'm sorting through piles of buffers trying to figure out which one caused it. 15:21:24 surely being rpi4 people are falling over themselves to fix it? 15:22:22 Right, i'm not even sure why its not hitting the DT case, except luck? or the fact that there is an init difference between the xhci-pci and xhci-plat drivers. 15:22:54 I don't think its an rpi bug, so much as one that gets triggered there easier due to the DMA situation 15:23:16 OK, I figured as much 15:23:47 Any other kernel issues? 15:24:14 #topic 3) ==== Bootloader Status ==== 15:24:30 I did get a new rc4 build done end of last week 15:24:30 #info New U-Boot available for testing - uboot-tools-2020.07-0.3.rc4.fc33 15:24:30 #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1522690 15:24:41 mostly untested 15:25:00 Just started testing it here, will report back if I find any issues 15:25:34 #topic 4) ==== Fedora 33 ==== 15:25:34 #link https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test 15:26:23 https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2403 15:26:35 Blank currently for arm/aarch64.
