Arthur,
Thanks for reporting the problem.
Can you provide info on to help me trace the issue:
1) What kind of cpu you're using? (can you send info in /proc/cpu)
2) Does your root disk use crct10dif integrity check?
Thanks.
Tim

Hi thanks for your reply.
I've reproduced the problem on x86_64 (AMD Athlon64) and i386 (Pentium 4).
I'm not sure what the root disk is doing, just using Debian's mk-kpkg
kernel_package to build a kernel with an initial ramdisk.
On one of the failed boot-up attempts I saw an error like:
sd_mod - unknown symbol crc*
(where crc* could have been a longer symbol name starting with crt10dif)
I'm happy to look further if I could be given directions on how to find
out if the root disk is using crc10dif integrity check or not.
Regards,
Arthur.

That's odd. The new crct10dif code should not be built and invoked for i386.
Wonder if something is wrong with the generic algorithm cast as a crypto
transform.
Can you send me your .config files
you used for building your kernel (for x86_64 and i386)
so I can see how the kernel is built.
Please also send me the precise version of kernel you are using.
Send me contents of /proc/cpu so I can see
what are the feature flags on your machine.

If you have any detailed dumps on the messages from sd_mod that will
be helpful.

In the mean time, can you try to apply the following debugging patch
and run it.
It checks to see if a proper crct10dif crypto transform is allocated
properly. It should print out the crct10dif algorithm being used
(generic or pclmulqdq).
The patch also tests the crct10dif function to see if the test code
executes (see the printk for the tests). If everything goes through
properly for a system that supports PCLMULQDQ instruction, you should
see the test pass message. There should be no error message if
everything runs. Look for the printk outputs in the patch.
Thanks.
Tim

I think that's the key. Whatever is creating the initrd of that
distro isn't including the new crct10dif module. I can't believe
they still haven't fixed the initrd tools to do dependency checking.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. Thanks both to Tim Chen and Herbert Xu for
your help!
In more recent git pulls from Linus' tree the kernel builds and runs
fine using Debian's mk-kpg.
If it is possible to use git-bisect to find which commit fixed the
problem I am happy to do so, or run any tools on the created initrd to
see if there was a problem with its creation that caused the problem I
reported against the kernel.
Regards,
Arthur.

Oops, that should be crc_t10_dif with one "f".
