Hi, still interested in this patch, though since quite a bit of time
has passed since submission, there's a newer kernel/u-boot release for
this hardware. I think the best is to drop this "v2" and if I'll
submit an updated "v3" instead (just testing the build).

Cheers,

I'm content to maintain my own limited solution (external toolchain,
no shared cache dirs) as a private buildroot mod, as it meets my
needs.  By all means, reject away.

I am still able to reproduce this on my buildroot-2014.05 system with
NTP updated to the latest version and patches - but I cannot reproduce
this issue using HEAD with the save defconfig.  I don't understand it,
but its hard to argue with success.  Lets withdraw this one as well.

I've no personal investment with this one.  You asked me to look into
an autobuilder failure, and this was the resulting fix.  The defconfig
from that original failure *still* causes a Qt build failure, and the
patch still applies (with a shift), and still fixes the build failure.
So I think this patch is still applicable, and okay as-is.

Please tell me how can I update those patches that need updating.
Should I just send new versions to this mailing list, or should I send
them as answers in original threads, or is there any other preferred
way?

Sorry for the late response here :-s
For the changes below, I won't be able to repost them before the
2015.05 is closed, but here is a status:

For this opencv serie, last time I rebased it (around the last BR dev
days back in February), it still cleanly applied with no conflict but
i don't remember the build test result.
This series mostly miss review and/or feedback.
Anyway, I'll rebase it, retest it and repost it for the next merge window.

Polishing still in progress.
Again, for the 2015.08 cycle.

Still valid for me, it's a refactoring change so the behavior doesn't change.

As suggested i'm working on using the external toolchain wrapper to
set the sysroot, so I've maked this patch set as "Changes Requested".


IMHO there are other patches ready to be merged:

packages: fix and improve support for top-level parallel makefile
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/458382/

giflib: remove from the description the reference to libungif
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/460474/

1/4 support/download/cvs: add support to use a date instead of a tag
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/464749/

2/4 manual: cvs: document that a date can be used instead of a tag
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/464750/

3/4 expect: bump to version 5.45.3
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/464751/

4/4 manual: don't use a comment at the end of the version variable assignment
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/464752/

I have applied those patches now. I'm currently finalizing the last

I have been very busy past few weeks and I had no time to test these
patches. 

During this week-end I have prepared a config and built images to test
all these patches on a tegra3 hardware.
I give you the results of my tests in the next two weeks.

Requires more discussion I think, Alexey accepted it, you didn't like the
implementation (choosy). The usefulness of this package is also contested.

Still relevant, as BR Readonly ROOTFS is currently broken (?) because
/etc/fstab always mounts as RW. Requires double check.

[Buildroot] Reminder about your pending Buildroot patches

[Romain Naour]

Hello Thomas,

Le 21/04/2015 14:56, Thomas Petazzoni a ?crit :
> 
>  - package/openvmtools: enable openvmtools kernel modules
>    http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/441785/

This patch needs to be updated since the last openvmtools bump.

With the previous version, I was able to build all kernel module with 3.2.64
kernel but the build was broken 3.4+ kernel and with 3.2.64+ kernel due to a
backported patch.
As Karoly said, most of those drivers has been merged upstream (3.18~3.19), I'm
not sure we want to add a lot of patches to be able to build with stable kernel
release 3.4.y, 3.10.y, 3.12.y, 3.14.y.

Nevertheless, we can add this option with a big warning and say that the kernel
modules has been build and tested with a limited number of kernel version, at
least 3.2.64.

I'll ressent it rebased on master.

At least a couple of these depend on making perf patchable. :(

But the dependency ones (slang, numactl, libunwind) should be straightforward.

No, which is why the patch introduces the BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SSP_STRONG
flag (-fstack-protector-strong is the newest addition, added in GCC
4.9).

-fstack-protector and -fstack-protector-all were introduced at the
same time, but I'm not sure which version they were introduced in --
but since Buildroot doesn't currently have flags for whether the
toolchain supports it, we can assume it existed for quite some time.

It's available on Haswell and later. Enabling lock elision in glibc
will have it do a CPUID check whether the feature is supported before
using it, so it's safe to enable on *any* x86_64 build.

Fair enough, I am so used to thinking in this context that I didn't
realize it was non-trivial.

Eventually. I have a lot on my plate right now. I have another patch
series I do want to send out eventually as well (introducing the X32
ABI support) but that's all on hold until things quiet down.

We can drop the submission until I can address the comments.

Again, being busy doesn't help. :)

Well, it sort of is. Just extract it for both and deal with it. But
people are [perhaps rightfully] stingy about how much space is
consumed by extracting the kernel tree again. We could filter the
extract down to just the tools directory and any top-level Makefiles
that the tools directory depends on, and then it would be feasible to
extract+patch.

Perhaps. If we pass *neither* --enable-debug or --disable-debug then
things should be fine. But libpthsem currently mishandles it and
considers both of --{enable,disable}-debug as enable -- which is
basically the opposite of what we wanted.

Ok. I'll have a look at those perf patches.

Do all the gcc versions support those different levels of stack
protection?

Is lock elision a feature always available on x86-64 ? Or only on
certain cores ? I believe it required a certain generation of hardware.
But maybe the glibc gracefully falls back to a non-elided lock
implementation when the hardware does not have the required features.

All sort of questions that should have been addressed in the commit
log... which is currently empty :-)

There has been some comments. Can you address them and resend? The
comments have been made a month ago. While I agree we (Buildroot
maintainers / core developers) are not best placed to criticize about
delays, it would be good to respin patches not too long after the
comments, so that they are kept "alive and moving".

Not really: we are going to get rid of passing --enable-debug /
--disable-debug. A patch series doing this has already been posted. I
believe it will make this patch irrelevant. Can you confirm?

Still valid inmy point of view.

Anyone can test this up to and including patch 5, as this does not
require access to specific hardware.

As for patches 6-8, anyone with access to a tegra2/3 system should test
it, as I do not have access to such a system.
