Linux 2.6.24 Kernel Released

Phoronix: Linux 2.6.24 Kernel Released

In time for Linux.Conf.Au that is starting in just four days, Linus Torvalds has this afternoon released the Linux 2.6.24 kernel. Compared to the 2.6.24-rc8 kernel there aren't many changes...

http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=NjMwMQ

[Kano]

I would have expected rc9 before... But thanks that it finally arrived.

[yoshi314]

finally. let's see those angry faces that (presumably) can't get fglrx to build with it now :]

[Kano]

There is absolutely no problem to compile latest fglrx with it. Kanotix uses 2.6.24 and you can use fglrx down to 8.39.4 (with mlau's patch) and without it works since 7-11. There are just packageing problems when you can not install the driver.

[n3Cre0]

Well fglrx doesn't compile for me on this 2.6.24 (gold) :(

[Kano]

Maybe gentoo added additional patches. I usually use Ubuntu git code.

[n3Cre0]

I think I found the problem.

See
error: implicit declaration of function 'pci_find_slot'
In /usr/src/linux/.config I noticed this option; or better in `make menuconfig`:
Bus options (PCI etc.) > Enable deprecated pci_find_* API
The help on that option:

│ CONFIG_PCI_LEGACY:
│ Say Y here if you want to include support for the deprecated
│ pci_find_slot() and pci_find_device() APIs. Most drivers have
│ been converted over to using the proper hotplug APIs, so this
│ option serves to include/exclude only a few drivers that are
│ still using this API.
| Symbol: PCI_LEGACY [=y]
│ Prompt: Enable deprecated pci_find_* API
│ Defined at drivers/pci/Kconfig:24
│ Depends on: PCI
│ Location:
│ -> Bus options (PCI etc.)

EDIT: Yup worked as a charm >_>
Most drivers have been converted over to using the proper hotplug APIs, so this option serves to include/exclude only a few drivers that are still using this API.
Well, guess we're lucky fglrx is one of those *few* drivers

[Zibi1981]

So, after You disabled this option, You were able to install AMD/ATI drivers on 2.6.24 kernel?

[Kano]

Well it seems all kernels which allow it use

CONFIG_PCI_LEGACY=y

that means enabled.

[Zibi1981]

Hmm, but when I had this option enabled, I got the same error as presented above...

[Kano]

That's not the error, you get only warnings from the other too. The error is the first. Also you use realtime patches not pure 2.6.24.

[Zibi1981]

Yes, I do, but I also get the same warning ‘pci_find_slot’ is deprecated... Any suggestions?

[Kano]

The warning is correct and would never stop compilation. Try a kernel without rt patch or check line 888 in the mentioned file.

[Zibi1981]

Well, here's what I found in /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/firegl_public.c close to line 888:

for (i = 0; i < __KE_MAX_SPINLOCKS; i++)
dev->spinlock[i] = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED;

for (i=0; i < __KE_MAX_SEMAPHORES; i++)
sema_init(&dev->struct_sem[i], 1);

dev->pubdev.psigmask = (__ke_sigset_t*)&dev->sigmask;

if ( (retcode = firegl_init(&dev->pubdev)) )
{
__KE_ERROR("firegl_init failed\n");
kfree(drm_proclist);
return retcode;
}

I'm not a programmer, so could anyone explain what that mean, and what to do next?

In this thread (http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6269) HellMind seems to have an idea how to make ATI drivers work with rt-kernels, but I don't know what he mean exactly...

[n3Cre0]

So, after You disabled this option, You were able to install AMD/ATI drivers on 2.6.24 kernel?

No, I had to enable it. It was disabled.

[mlau]

replace the following line:

dev->spinlock[i] = SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED;

with

spin_lock_init(&dev->spinlock[i]);

[Zibi1981]

You mean to replace this line in /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/firegl_public.c, right? And after I do that? Should I try to install the drivers once again?

[mlau]

You mean to replace this line in /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/firegl_public.c, right? And after I do that? Should I try to install the drivers once again?

Yes, replace that line and recompile the module
(just type 'make' in the directory where fglrx_public.c
resides)

[Zibi1981]

After following Your suggestions I got this

So I guess it's time to make use of these suggestions (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ATI_Drivers#Build_ati-drivers_on_rt-kernels_failed).

[Zibi1981]

I finally maneged to successfully compile that module

Any ideas?

Could you please post Xorg.log and maybe dmesg output?
(and output of 'LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo').
I don't know very much about userspace though. Others
on this forum do.

[Zibi1981]

No need to, I found the solution! :D

Your idea was right, but I had to do it another way. Firstly had to rebuild fglrx module using make.sh script, which on my Mandriva 2008.0 is located in /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod

You must change your working directory to /lib/modules/fglrx
and then call ./make_install.sh in order to install the built module.

Finally I had to change directory to /lib/modules/fglrx (that is one up from previous) and install the modules using another script - make_install.sh

[root@Felipe fglrx]# ./make_install.sh
- recreating module dependency list
- trying a sample load of the kernel modules
done.

After reboot all is working well, AFAIK :)

Thx much guys. Would never done that without your professional help! :)

This isn't windows -- in the worst case you only need to:
kill X
rmmod radeon
rmmod drm
rmmod fglrx
reinstall the module
modprobe fglrx
restart X

and be done with the kernel side of things.

rmmod radeon
rmmod drm
rmmod fglrx
reinstall the module
modprobe fglrx
restart X

and be done with the kernel side of things.

You are probably right, but much easier is just to reboot, especially considering I'm quite a newbie comparing to many Phoronix-forums users ;)

Once again thx! :)
