15:00:17 <pwhalen> Good day folks, whos here today?
15:00:38 <marc84> morning everyone
15:00:58 <pwhalen> hi marc84 :)
15:01:14 <marc84> hi pwhalen
15:01:37 * pbrobinson is here
15:01:53 * jonmasters is on
15:02:50 * pwhalen gives it another minute for others
15:03:45 <pwhalen> ok, lets get started.
15:03:47 <pwhalen> #topic 1) ==== Userspace Status  ====
15:04:28 <pwhalen> any build issues?
15:04:47 <pbrobinson> none that I'm aware of, had anyone seen anything reported to the list?
15:05:34 <pwhalen> Ive not
15:06:29 <pwhalen> #info No build issues reported.
15:06:36 <pbrobinson> is anyone aware of people looking at OpenCL bits (via mesa or otherwise), maybe jonmasters is aware of something?
15:09:20 <pwhalen> #info Docker image fails to run when selinux is enforcing on aarch64 (BZ#1440875)
15:09:42 <jonmasters> not currently
15:09:57 <pwhalen> #info initial-setup.service: Failed to set up stdin: Inappropriate ioctl for device (BZ#1438046)
15:10:44 <pwhalen> ok thanks, any other userspace issues?
15:11:34 <jlinton> Has anyone been running graphics on F26A?
15:11:42 <jlinton> gnome-shell?
15:11:44 <pwhalen> not I
15:11:54 <jonmasters> not I yet
15:12:04 <jonmasters> BUT I want to try Ard and Alex's GPU work
15:12:07 <jonmasters> so maybe soon
15:12:18 <pwhalen> sounds like youve seen some issues?
15:12:40 <jlinton> Well i'm worried the mesa/llvm bug isn't fixed.
15:12:44 <pbrobinson> jlinton: I've not had a chance yey
15:13:14 <pbrobinson> jlinton: for the installer, or even in general running
15:13:20 <jlinton> and I haven't had time to try and look at the generated code to verify it.
15:13:42 <jlinton> I think you have to have gnome-shell running, the installer doesn't use shaders the same way
15:14:11 <jlinton> The bug was always intermittent, and I expressed doubt that simply rebuilding mesa was going to be sufficient to fix it.
15:14:30 <pbrobinson> yea, that was my general thought but at least mesa should now have been rebuilt against the patched llvm
15:14:49 <pbrobinson> so I was more wondering if we need to rebuild any other bits of the stack against the new llvm/mesa
15:15:21 <pwhalen> jlinton, ok. I'll test it and see how it looks.
15:15:44 <jlinton> Right, but its the JIT in llvm that is broken, not the normal code generator, which means its code that is being generated at runtime.
15:17:50 <jonmasters> yeah ouch
15:18:13 <jonmasters> jlinton: is anyone working on that?
15:19:32 <jlinton> Yah, the patches are in the fedora bug
15:21:08 <pwhalen> thanks jlinton
15:21:24 <pwhalen> #topic 2) ==== Kernel Status ====
15:21:31 <jlinton> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1429050
15:21:43 <pwhalen> #undo
15:21:43 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Link object at 0x4af62250>
15:21:44 <jlinton> (that is the llvmpipe bug)
15:22:37 <pwhalen> #topic 2) ==== Kernel Status ====
15:23:03 <pwhalen> #info kernel-4.11.0-0.rc5.git0.1.fc26 should resolve monitor detection issues on the Raspberry Pi 2/3, wider testing appreciated.
15:23:06 <pbrobinson> jlinton: sure, I'll check that the stable mesa is built against an NVR with the patch, but I don't think we should need to rebuild wayland etc right?
15:23:42 <jlinton> pbrobinson: I don't think anything but llvm needs a rebuild. (could be wrong)
15:25:16 <pwhalen> #info Latest - kernel-4.11.0-0.rc6.git0.1.fc26
15:25:16 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=878715
15:26:33 <pwhalen> #info Please test and report any issues to the list or #fedora-arm.
15:26:47 <pwhalen> anything other kernel issues/news?
15:27:27 <jlinton> Yah, I guess the hikey patches are worth mentioning
15:27:47 <pbrobinson> jlinton: which ones?
15:27:57 <jlinton> a couple of tiny tweaks to the hikey regulator and reset modules fix problems experienced by building them as modules (in fedora)
15:28:08 <jlinton> They should be in 4.12.
15:29:14 <pbrobinson> jlinton: if you've got a git branch or a link to an upstream patch series that would be great
15:30:00 <jlinton> https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/4/8/23
15:30:04 <jlinton> (digging up the other link)
15:31:13 <jlinton> https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/4/3/20
15:31:44 <jlinton> With those two patches the MMC & graphics will work out of the box
15:32:03 <jlinton> (assuming the appropriate modules in the initrd)
15:32:05 <jonmasters> woot
15:32:25 <jlinton> (and of course a working firmware, which isn't yet upstream)
15:32:42 <pbrobinson> jlinton: cool, I've got a patch to that will fix bluetooth on that device too (I need it for two other devices with the TI wifi)
15:33:02 <jlinton> pbrobinson: Sweet, I've been looking at the wifi/bt, and not sure what to do about the driver.
15:33:22 <pbrobinson> jlinton: yay! The first 96boards device still doesn't have upstream firmware.... booo!
15:34:35 <pbrobinson> jlinton: the driver for wifi should all be there, might need some DT bits (I'll check) and the bluetooth will be handled with the patches I need for BBoneWireless and Hummingboard
15:36:37 <jlinton> pbrobinson: I've got some BT bits added to the DT i'm using, that is part of the upstream edk2/hikey problem. It lacks a DT loader, expecting grub to load it.
15:37:10 <jlinton> pbrobinson: Pretty easy fix, I've been sitting on those patches until I'm happy all of fedora is working as expected.
15:38:00 <pbrobinson> jlinton: the BT patch series are http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-bluetooth/msg70169.html https://www.spinics.net/lists/devicetree/msg170619.html
15:38:23 <pbrobinson> adds driver and does away with the need of the TI_ST driver and the horrid userspace util
15:38:44 <jlinton> Nice.
15:41:10 <pwhalen> ok, moving on ..
15:41:29 <pwhalen> #topic 3) ==== Bootloader Status ====
15:41:38 <pwhalen> #info uboot-tools-2017.05-0.3.rc1.fc26. Changelog: Add support for STi STiH410
15:41:44 <pwhalen> #link https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=879384

15:42:25 <pwhalen> pbrobinson, anything else to note for this?
15:42:42 <pbrobinson> nope, nothing in particular. Test basically
