3.4.61-rc1 applied cleanly to 3.4.60

Compiled and booted on the following systems:

Samsung Series 9 900X4C Intel Corei5
HP ProBook 6475b AMD A10-4600M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics

dmesgs look good. No regressions compared to the previous dmesgs for
this release. dmesg emerg, crit, alert, err are clean. No
regressions in warn.

Thanks for testing and letting me know.

Compile tested on Samsung Chromebook Exynos5 (ARMv7):
3.4.60 compile fail - it is not a regression. Existing issue in
3.4.y It has to do with missing config selections in
arch/arm/mach-exynos/Kconfig for this system. Debugging now using
the Kconfig selections from 3.10.y for this file.

Is there a patch I can backport for this to work properly? I'd like to
get some type of ARM coverage if possible.

thanks,

greg k-h


Greg,

I did some debugging and found 3.4 needs several patches to that
made exynos4 support common for exynos4 and exynos5. It appears some
changes made it into 3.4, at least changing the directory name from
mach-exynos4 to mach-exynos, however the rest of the support is not
in 3.4. I identified the following commits:

6f9e95e6ed34ceff090ec1a1d27dfc85828d1dbd
60e49ca654eea42e04912b259fa36bad2c3e56ef
20ef9e08d27b3f5e09c32d4d371fa97f610a3069

Those three are "reasonable".

Cool. I will pull just these 3 patches and see if that works and let you know if it works.


b1b3f49ce4606452279b58b17f2bbe2ba00304b

That just reorders the config options, is that really needed?

So, with those first 3 patches, does the kernel now work on that
platform for you?

thanks,

greg k-h


Yes the last one b1b3f49ce4606452279b58b17f2bbe2ba00304b, is a reordering patch.
