Hi,
After working on generating a bug report web page for our
arm-porting-queue effort (mostly my wife actually), I decided to
create a similar bug report web page to make the life easier for
people managing the bugs affecting the Linaro Ubuntu project.
The link: http://people.linaro.org/~rsalveti/linaro-ubuntu-bugs/linaro-ubuntu-bugs-re…
There you can easily find all the bugs that are currently opened
against the 'linaro-ubuntu' project, and also check which ones are
related with a Landing Team (or Igloo Community for ST-E).
Besides being able to easily sort any column, you can also find the
test cases tags that are produced when executing our release tests.
For people wanting to understand better the test tags, and which test
cases we're maintaining, please check at
https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/QA/TestCases/Ubuntu (mostly manual
atm, but we're working on porting them to LAVA asap).
For the LT projects, please also make sure you open a bug task ("also
affects project" at Launchpad) against 'linaro-ubuntu' if it's related
with our Ubuntu LEB images in any sort. That way we can also have your
bug at our radar.
Thanks!

I forgot to say that I've installed Linaro Ubuntu Desktop 3.1.1.8 on a
Pandaboard ES.

Here is a list of things we plan to talk about and do in the toolchain
group next week:
https://wiki.linaro.org/MichaelHope/Sandbox/Q1.12Plans
Some of the 'next steps' topics will become more concrete this week.
If you're interested in specific topics, let me know or just come on
by. We'll be hacking away most of the time.

If you're interested in specific topics, that page contains names of
people to talk to. Ask me if you have trouble tracking them down.
Come and say Hi. :)

Hello,
As was discussed recently on the linaro-android list, the Android Build
jobs (https://android-build.linaro.org) were renamed so each build name
includs all the information to identify components it was build
from/with/for.
The new naming scheme is:
~linaro-android/<board>-<android_rel>-<gcc_ver>-<kernel_id>-<open/blob>
Most of the jobs have been renamed, few had issues and postponed for
clarification. Please review naming and build config match for the
jobs you maintain/work worth, and follow up if there are any issues or
suggestions.
Thanks,
Paul

I'm writing a kernel module which creates a substantial amount of
kernel threads. After dropping the real stuff, the module skeleton is:
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/sched.h>
#include <linux/kthread.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/slab.h>
#include <linux/ktime.h>
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
static int nrthreads = 128;
module_param(nrthreads, int, 0644);
static int loopcount = 1024;
module_param(loopcount, int, 0644);
static struct task_struct **threads;
static struct completion done;
static atomic_t nrunning;
static int test(void *unused)
{
int i;
ktime_t expires = ktime_set(0, NSEC_PER_MSEC);
for (i = 0; !kthread_should_stop() && i < loopcount; i++)
schedule_hrtimeout_range(&expires, 50000, HRTIMER_MODE_REL);
if (atomic_dec_and_test(&nrunning))
complete(&done);
return 0;
}
static int __init testmod_init(void)
{
int i, j, err = 0;
atomic_set(&nrunning, 0);
init_completion(&done);
threads = kmalloc(nrthreads * sizeof(struct task_struct *), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!threads)
return -ENOMEM;
for (i = 0; i < nrthreads; i++) {
threads[i] = kthread_run(test, NULL, "test/%d", i);
if (IS_ERR(threads[i])) {
err = PTR_ERR(threads[i]);
for (j = 0; j < i; j++)
kthread_stop(threads[j]);
kfree(threads);
return err;
}
atomic_inc(&nrunning);
}
return 0;
}
static void __exit testmod_exit(void)
{
wait_for_completion(&done);
kfree(threads);
}
module_init(testmod_init);
module_exit(testmod_exit);
For the most of the cases, it works as expected, at least from 8 to 128 threads.
But if I try 'insmod testmod.ko && rmmod testmod', it's possible to catch a
very rare crash:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 7f18c034

Code: bad PC value
Note the PC is bad, and stack is just a nonsense. IIUC, this happens if the
kernel calls testmod_exit() and frees module memory _before_ all test/X threads
are really dead - i.e. the module memory is freed when at least one of the test/X
threads is somewhere in do_exit() or nearby. Is that possible? If yes, what's
the better way to ensure that all test/X threads are really gone at some point of
testmod_exit()?
Thanks in advance,
Dmitry
Hi All,
If you're one of the unlucky ones who won't be attending Linaro Connect
Q1.12 next week, you'll be pleased to hear we're enabling remote
participation via Google Hangouts for the 5 morning Session rooms. As
Hangouts allow use of webcams, this will hopefully make it a more
interactive experience for you - for example with webcams located in the
rooms you can see who's in the room and who's talking at any particular time
(and you'll better know who to tell to speak up if they're too quiet J).
We've provided guidelines for remote participation at the bottom of the
Schedule page here:
http://connect.linaro.org/schedule
or directly here:
http://connect.linaro.org/remote
I'm conscious this is the first time we've used this facility, so do let me
know if the guidelines aren't clear. And then I'll also appreciate your
feedback during the week to help us improve next time.
Thx
Stephen Doel
