Summary

Review of the current Ubuntu Kernel patch delta from upstream. This session will look at the current delta comprised of both patches to the core and the ubuntu specific drivers. The aim is to record what we are carrying, review the reasons for that component(s) to be carried, and recommend replacements, updates, cleanups, upstreaming etc of those components.

Release Note

Rationale

Not every patch and/or driver carried in the Ubuntu delta is automatically sync'd with the upstream kernel for various reasons. This places a maintenance burden on the Ubuntu kernel team. These patches and/or drivers must be regularly reviewed to determine if they are still needed, if they need updating to a later version, or if they are now ready for upstream acceptance. The purpose of this blueprint is to facilitate and record this review for the 13.04 cycle.

Ubuntu Patches (for review)

  1. Andy Whitcroft
    1. UBUNTU: SAUCE: efivarfs: efivarfs_fill_super() ensure we clean up correctly on error
    2. UBUNTU: SAUCE: efivarfs: efivarfs_fill_super() ensure we free our temporary name
    3. UBUNTU: SAUCE: efivarfs: efivarfs_fill_super() fix inode reference counts
    4. UBUNTU: SAUCE: efivars: efivarfs_create() ensure we drop our reference on inode on error
    5. UBUNTU: SAUCE: efivarfs: efivarfs_file_read ensure we free data in error paths
    6. UBUNTU: SAUCE: efivarfs: Add documentation for the EFI variable filesystem
      • all upstream -- dropped during rebase
      • DROPPED
    7. UBUNTU: SAUCE: ata_piix: add a disable_driver option
      • (no-up) this is a local only change
      • SEEMINGLY MISSING?
    8. UBUNTU: SAUCE: rds_ib_send() -- prevent local pings triggering BUG_ON()
      • CVE fix, ought to be upstream but appears not, needs review
    9. kconfig: in debug mode some 0 length message prints occur
      • fixed out of tree configuration review -- either not needed or should be upstreamed
    10. UBUNTU: tools/hv: add basic manual pages
    11. UBUNTU: tools/hv: add basic Makefile
      • (no-up) this is a local only change
    12. UBUNTU: ensure debian/ is not excluded from git by default
      • (no-up) this is a local only change
      • apw: MARKED (no-up)
    13. UBUNTU: SAUCE: vesafb: enable mtrr WC by default
    14. UBUNTU: SAUCE: vesafb: mtrr module parameter is uint, not bool
      • both of these relate to changed we have made to make vesafb modularisable
      • probabally ought to be folded down into that fix and possibly upstreamed
    15. Revert "mmc: fix all hangs related to mmc/sd card insert/removal during suspend/resume"
      • DROPPED
    16. UBUNTU: SAUCE: drm -- stop early access to drm devices
      • this likely is no longer needed since the the BKL was removed -- needs checking
    17. UBUNTU: SAUCE: add option to hand off all kernel parameters to init
      • needed for upstart, should be upstreamed
    18. UBUNTU: SAUCE: isapnp_init: make isa PNP scans occur async
      • need to work out if this is still giving us any advantages
  2. Chase Douglas
    1. UBUNTU: SAUCE: Input: synapticss - Set buttonpad property for all clickpads
    2. UBUNTU: SAUCE: Input: synaptics - add second variant of two-button clickpad
      • (Comments from sforshee, after consulting with cnd) Keep both, so long as they continue to apply cleanly. According to cnd, the patches apply only to a couple of old Dell minis, and Dell has said they don't intend to use those touchpads again. Upstreaming these patches stalled due to lack of information/response, and continuing to pursue it probably isn't worth the effort, so they can be marked no-up. There's no harm in keeping the patches, but if they become a problem they can be dropped.
  3. Colin Ian King
    1. UBUNTU: SAUCE: PCI: Allow pcie_aspm=force to work even when FADT indicates it is unsupported
      • This didn't get much traction last time it was sent to upstream. It's been re-sent and we'll see if we can get this to stick.
    2. UBUNTU: SAUCE: S3 early resume debug via keyboard LEDs
      • Will re-work this a bit to make it more acceptable for upstream although it's not likely to get anywhere upstream quickly. Recommend carrying this in raring while we wrestle with upstreaming it.
  4. Ike Panhc
    1. UBUNTU: SAUCE: ARM: highbank: retry wfi on reset request
    2. UBUNTU: SAUCE: net: calxedaxgmac: rework transmit ring handling
    3. UBUNTU: SAUCE: net: calxedaxgmac: drop some unnecessary register writes
    4. UBUNTU: SAUCE: net: calxedaxgmac: use relaxed i/o accessors in rx and tx paths
    5. UBUNTU: SAUCE: net: calxedaxgmac: remove explicit rx dma buffer polling
    6. UBUNTU: SAUCE: net: calxedaxgmac: enable operate on 2nd frame mode
    7. UBUNTU: SAUCE: net: calxedaxgmac: fix net timeout recoveryh
      • all of the above are now upstream and therefore DROPPED
    8. UBUNTU: SAUCE: arm highbank: add support for pl320-ipc driver
      • not upstream as yet, keep for now until we decide higbank is gone
  5. James M Leddy
    1. UBUNTU: SAUCE: input: fix weird issue of synaptics psmouse sync lost after resume
      • (Comments from sforshee) Keep. There is a fix upstream that fixes some machines, but others still need this. James will work on getting a fix upstream.
  6. Jeremy Kerr
    1. UBUNTU: SAUCE: efi: add efivars kobject to efi sysfs folder
      • Required for secure boot key management while this percolates upstream
    2. UBUNTU: SAUCE: efi: Handle deletions and size changes in efivarfs_write_file
      • Required for secure boot key management while this percolates upstream
    3. UBUNTU: SAUCE: efi: Add support for a UEFI variable filesystem
      • Required for secure boot key management while this percolates upstream
  7. John Johansen
    1. UBUNTU: SAUCE: apparmor: fix IRQ stack overflow
      • Drop in favor of upstream commit 2e680dd61e80592385338bfbeb86833d1c60546c
    2. UBUNTU: SAUCE: AppArmor: basic networking rules

      • needed while we await upstream acceptance
    3. UBUNTU: SAUCE: apparmor: Add the ability to mediate mount
      • needed while we await upstream acceptance
    4. UBUNTU: SAUCE: AppArmor: Add profile introspection file to interface

      • needed while we await upstream acceptance
    5. UBUNTU: SAUCE: Improve Amazon EBS performance for EC2
      • -> DROPPED: was dropped from Quantal as well as Amazon confirmed it is not doing anything (would require support from dom0 side) [smb].

    6. UBUNTU: SAUCE: AppArmor: Disable Add PR_{GET,SET}_NO_NEW_PRIVS to prevent execve from granting privs

  8. Kamal Mostafa
    1. UBUNTU: SAUCE: input: Cypress PS/2 Trackpad move PSMOUSE_CYPRESS enum
      1. Dropped in favor of upstream commit 0799a924bc93ba46a23e8e7e6b1431ab585fd2ea
  9. Leann Ogasawara
    1. UBUNTU: SAUCE: SECCOMP: audit: always report seccomp violations

      • Reverted in Raring. No longer necessary.
  10. Manoj Iyer
    1. UBUNTU: SAUCE: Added quirk to recognize GE0301 3G modem as an interface.
      • seems to need upstreaming -- keep until it hits upstream.
  11. Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre
    1. UBUNTU: SAUCE: ipv6: make the net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr sysctl propagate to interface settings
      • Keep as sauce for now. Some additional changes to this patch will be emailed to the kernel team mailing list. This patch was originally Nak'd upstream, but it should be resubmitted with the supporting evidence it's been carried in the distro without negative impact.
  12. Ming Lei
    1. UBUNTU: SAUCE: fireware: add NO_MSI quirks for o2micro controller
      • made it upstream and this is now triggering a duplicate entry.
      • DROPPED [apw]
  13. Paolo Pisati
    1. UBUNTU: SAUCE: omap3 clocks .dev_id = NULL
      • DROPPED: dropped during rebases
  14. Seth Forshee
    1. UBUNTU: SAUCE: dell-wmi: Demote unknown WMI event message to pr_debug
      • Keep. Dell was supposed to have implemented the missing functionality but have not, so I'll send this patch upstream.
  15. Stefan Bader
    1. UBUNTU: SAUCE: Mask CR4 writes on older Xen hypervisors
      • DROPPED: Was dropped in Quantal, too. Not needed anymore since upstream code now does not set bits in order to probe for functionality.
