Title: A1-X1000: Linux Kernel 4.1
Post by: xeno74 on April 15, 2015, 02:17:40 PM
Hi All,

The merge window have been opened this week and it was added a lot of new source code for the future kernel 4.1. Therefore I want to start with testing. I compiled the first alpha today.

New Nemo patch: http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz/download/file.php?id=1691

Download alpha1: vmlinux-4.1-alpha1-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2 (http://www.xenosoft.de/vmlinux-4.1-alpha1-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2)

New: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/

PLEASE test the alpha1.

Cheers,

Christian

Hi All,

It was added a lot of new patches for the future kernel 4.1 for example for PA6T systems last days.

Link: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d28a0d94d752354d9830f8cc0426e9119f9f227d

Therefore I had to create a new Nemo patch for the alpha2 yesterday.

Download: nemo_4.1-2.patch.zip (http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz/download/file.php?id=1694)

And here is the alpha2: vmlinux-4.1-alpha2-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2 (http://www.xenosoft.de/vmlinux-4.1-alpha2-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2)

Have a nice weekend!

Cheers,

Christian

Many patches for graphics cards were added to the kernel 4.1 source code.

I created the alpha3 with the latest kernel 4.1 git source code today.

[SIZE=150]Alpha4[/SIZE]

New:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/


It also includes:




Support running guest kernels in virtual machines on processors without using hypervisor mode in the host, by running the guest in user mode (problem state) and emulating all privileged instructions and registers.
This is not as fast as using hypervisor mode, but works on machines where hypervisor mode is not available or not usable, and can emulate processors that are different from the host processor, including emulating 32-bit processors on a 64-bit host.

Could you please test the 3D acceleration with Glxgears and SuperTuxKart?

I would like to thank you very much in advance for testing the first bug fix version of kernel 4.1.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

I am looking forward to getting your reply.

Best regards,

Hi All,

I have really great news for you. :) The stable longterm kernel 4.1 (http://www.xenosoft.de/vmlinux-4.1.29-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz) is back! The kernel developers solved the problem with the kernel freezing. They also fixed the build break due to missing PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC.

The new longterm kernel 4.1.29 (http://www.xenosoft.de/vmlinux-4.1.29-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz) is very stable again. :)

I tested a lot of things with the kernel 4.1.29 (http://www.xenosoft.de/vmlinux-4.1.29-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz) and it works very well.

Test results:
