A1-X1000: Linux Kernel 4.4

[xeno74]

Hi All,

Darren solved the problems with the new interrupt system so I was able to release the RC1 of kernel 4.4.

Download: vmlinux-4.4-rc1-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2



New:

• Support for the new interrupt handling
• Boot by UUID or disk label with an initrd
• Linux 4.4-rc1 Kernel Released - phoronix.com
  
• ChangeLog

It also includes:

• KVM_BOOK3S_64_PR

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.

• Mac-on-Linux support
• network support for AROS hosted
• support for 4 serial ports
• Bluetooth USB dongle support
• kernel tracing with ftrace
• ubuntu MATE 15.04, 15.10, and 16.04 LTS support
• Debian 8 support
• Btrfs support
• systemd support
• Wacom Intuos/Graphire tablet support (USB)
• Linux kernel icon for OS4.1 by Tommysammy

Cheers,

Christian

Here is the RC3 for testing: vmlinux-4.4-rc3-AMIGA_one_X1000.tar.bz2

New: Linux 4.4-rc3 Kernel Released -- phoronix.com

Note: Unfortunately the P.A. Semi ethernet doesn't work on our Nemo boards with the release
candidates of the kernel 4.4 currently. Further information: forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz

By the way, iceweasel 42.0-1 and icedove 42.0~b2-1 are available for Debian Sid.

Hi all,

I have done a git revert of the commit ' [RFC/PATCH,v2] powerpc/iommu: Support "hybrid" iommu/direct DMA ops for coherent_mask < dma_mask (https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/472535/)' without these following files:

Code: [Select]


arch/powerpc/platforms/powernv/pci-ioda.c
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/iommu.c


After that I compiled the kernel 4.4.0-rc5 and the P.A. Semi Ethernet interface works without reverting the two files above.

Download: vmlinux-4.4-rc5-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.gz

New:

• Linux 4.4-rc5 Kernel Released -- phoronix.com
  
• Support for the Power Statistics tool
• Problem with the P.A. Semi Ethernet fixed

OK, the problem must be in the following files:

Code: [Select]


arch/powerpc/Kconfig
arch/powerpc/include/asm/device.h
arch/powerpc/include/asm/dma-mapping.h
arch/powerpc/include/asm/iommu.h
arch/powerpc/kernel/dma-iommu.c
arch/powerpc/kernel/dma-swiotlb.c
arch/powerpc/kernel/dma.c
arch/powerpc/sysdev/dart_iommu.c
include/asm-generic/dma-mapping-common.h


Cheers,
