New kernels

[xeno74]

Merry Christmas

[xeno74]

The good old hardware has a home in our AmigaOnes

• Creative Sound BLASTER LIVE Player 1024 PCI (EMU10K1 audio processor) sound card
• Typhoon TView RDS + FM Stereo PCI (BT 878 video decoder chip) TV card (frame grabber)

The new kernel 6.12.6 supports really good the old hardware.

We have found the first bad commit.

Links:

• KVM: PPC: Book3E: KVM HV host module doesn't work anymore #4 -- github.com
• KVM: PPC: Book3E: KVM HV host module doesn't work anymore -- Linuxppc-dev mailing list

I was able to create a revert patch. With this revert patch, KVM HV works again.

Here is the patched kernel: github.com

You can use the kernel modules from the kernel v6.13.0-rc4.

I also tested KVM PR on my X1000 yesterday. KVM PR isn’t affected.

FYI: I tested the SB Live gameport today with the kernel module emu10k1_gp. But I have issues with this kernel module (kernel panics).

I found out which area is responsible for the KVM HV issue while reducing the revert patch.

If I replace the following line in the file a/arch/powerpc/kvm/e500_mmu_host.c then KVM HV works again.

Code: Select all

-		pfn = __kvm_faultin_pfn(slot, gfn, FOLL_WRITE, NULL, &page);
+		pfn = gfn_to_pfn_memslot(slot, gfn);

The fix is already found, I will send it out shortly but everybody is on
vacation now

I reported the issue with the Sound BLASTER gameport to the kernel developers yesterday.

Hi All,

I released the RC5 of kernel 6.13 for the X1000 and X5000 today.

Download and further information: github.com

Alternative download link: linux-image-6.13-rc5-X1000_X5000.tar.gz (xenosoft.de)



Please test the kernels.

Thanks,
Christian

Hi All,

I released the RC5-2 of kernel 6.13 with the kvm_hv_final.patch because of the KVM HV issue #4 for the X5000 yesterday.

You can use the kernel modules from the kernel v6.13.0-rc5.

Download and further information: github.com

Alternative download link: linux-image-6.13-rc5-2-X5000.tar.gz

I have found the KVM news for the kernel 6.13. Link: Linux 6.13 KVM Eliminates An "Awful Idea", Many x86_64 Improvements



Cheers,
Christian

Kernel 6.13-RC5-2 up and running on my AmigaOne X5000

I have seen my desktop icons disapear and reappear a few times now..
