ThunderX boot-time linkup issue
by Itaru Kitayama 16 Oct '17

16 Oct '17

Hi, Our 2-socket ThunderX server (GIGABYTE model R150-T62) fails to link up one of the 4 fibre ports, part of the SoC at boot time for some reason. Bringing up the port manually fails too: # ifup enP2p1s0f1 # ifdown enP2p1s0f1 [30836.757508] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): enP2p1s0f1: link is not ready Device 'enP2p1s0f1' successfully disconnected. # ifup enP2p1s0f1 Connection successfully activated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/5) The above is misleading as the port is not activated unless we re-plug the fibre cable. Has anyone hit this issue or should we suspect the HW issue? Itaru PS We've tested all the other three physical ports; none worked.

kernel 4.11.0-22.el7.2.aarch64 does not boot on ThunderX
by Itaru Kitayama 13 Oct '17

13 Oct '17

Hi, In our attempt upgrading from 4.5.0-25.el7.aarch64 to the 4.11-based kernel we see the latter does not boot on ThunderX. Here's the HW details: http://b2b.gigabyte.com/ARM-Server/R150-T62-rev-100#support-manual The BIOS release is T43. (According Red Hat, they've been testing fine their 1 socket GIGABYTE server with their RHEL 7 kernels.) I am wondering what ThunderX platform CentOS has been using for testing, and the list happens to have the above HW. The boot process seems to be stuck as soon as system prints our EFI stub messages. No messages from the kernel. Is the CentOS Alt architecture group going to release a 4.12 or .13 kernel soon? Itaru

Hi All, Can you advise how I can discover which version of GCC was used to compile the CentOS bits that I'm using? best regards,Richard

Centos support for Marvell Armada 7k/8k
by Marcin Wojtas 05 Oct '17

05 Oct '17

Hi, As for the news, unmodified CentOS-7-aarch64 downloaded from http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/aarch64/ works great on Marvell Armada 8040 MacchiatoBin (http://macchiatobin.net/) You can see vmlinuz-4.11.0-22.el7a.aarch64 bootlog here: https://pastebin.com/kuDQRzDV All interfaces that are supported in the mainline linux kernel (with ACPI) work fine with Centos image as well. However as there's an effort to add ACPI support to remaining interfaces (e.g. network or sd/mmc controllers), we would like backport upstream patches to your tree. Hence I have a couple of questions in addition to what can be found in https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/AArch64/Contributions: 1. Are the Centos kernel sources accessible in some kind of public repository? 2. When sending patches to arm-dev, do you require original commit log and URL to adequate patch in the kernel.org? 3. Is patch existence in linux-next sufficient for you to accept it? 4. I imagine proceeding in two steps - align drivers between v4.11 and mainline first and later add (still being developed) ACPI support patches once they are ready and merged upstream. Would it be ok for you? 5. Do you have some kind of merge windows/release cycles to follow, when upstreaming patches? Given current quality of Centos support for new family of ARM64 SoCs, how about mentioning Armada 7k/8k family in 'Supported Hardware' section on https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/AArch64 ? Best regards, Marcin

CentOS 7.4 Gnome-shell crashes
by Phong Vo 04 Oct '17

04 Oct '17

Hi Jim, Currrently, gnome-shell core dumps on latest aarch64 build. The issue appears to be the same as reported here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1429050 RHELSA 7.4 does not have the issue and it looks like RHEL has a more up-to-date version of llvmpipe mesa-private-llvm-3.9.1-3.p1.el7a.aarch64.rpm while CentOS version is mesa-private-llvm-3.9.1-3.el7.aarch64.rpm Please see if you can release an RPM update for this. Thanks, -Phong

Kernel bump to 4.11 for aarch64
by Jim Perrin 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

I've just pushed the 4.11 kernel rebase into git ( https://git.centos.org/summary/?r=sig-altarch/kernel ) The previous patches included in the 4.5 kernel have been dropped as the majority either are now included or no longer apply cleanly. Please take a look at configs listed and submit patches for things you'd like to see enabled. This 4.11 base will be coming out shortly as part of the 7.4.1708 build. -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77

Kernel problems on APM X-Gene
by Jeremiah Rothschild 22 Sep '17

22 Sep '17

Hey everyone! I cannot get any kernel past 4.5.0-23.el7.aarch64 to work on APM X-Gene hardware. This includes the new (CentOS 7.4) 4.11.0-22 kernel. The last thing ever displayed during boot is this: EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel... EFI stub: Using DTB from configuration table EFI stub: Exiting boot services and installing virtual address map... L3c Cache: 8MB which is usual. However, nothing is logged to /var/log/messages (presumably it isn't making it far enough in the boot process) and I'm not sure how to further troubleshoot the issue. Has anyone else been successful? Are there new patches I am unaware of? Can someone please help me debug deeper? Thanks in advance! j

Fwd: Kernel problems on APM X-Gene
by Gordan Bobic 22 Sep '17

22 Sep '17

This sounds familiar. ISTR messages like this when I tried to use any PCIe cards in my machine, and the machine would typically lock up as soon as the driver for the PCIe card was loaded. I eventually gave up on running with any PCIe cards. What was interesting that the CentOS kernel package would run fine, but as soon as I rebuilt a mainline kernel with the same config and 4KB memory pages, the machine would become allergic to any PCIe card I put in it (tried several AMD and Nvidia GPUs and several SATA controllers). Do you have any PCIe cards in yours? On 22 Sep 2017 01:35, "Jeremiah Rothschild" <jeremiah(a)franz.com> wrote: On Thu, Sep 21, 2017 at 03:14:41AM -0700, Jeremiah Rothschild wrote: > Hmm, interesting.

Official docker containers are now available for AArch64/ARM64
by Jim Perrin 15 Sep '17

15 Sep '17

As of the release of 7.4.1708, the official centos docker containers are now available via multiarch support from the docker hub. For those of you who have been using the centos/aarch64 namespaced base container, you can now use 'FROM centos' as the proper method. I'll keep the centos/aarch64 container around for a little while longer to give people time to migrate. TL;DR: 'docker pull centos' now does the right thing, and provides the image appropriate for your architecture. -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77

Request for a new package: raspberrypi-vc
by Jordi Sanfeliu 13 Sep '17

13 Sep '17

Hello, Following the Fabian Arrotin recommendation, I open here the request to include the 'raspberrypi-vc' package into the CentOS 7 EPEL repository, or in the main tree. This package includes a command called 'vcgencmd' which offers a set of interesting values of the Raspberry Pi board; e.g. its temperature. Check here <http://www.elinux.org/RPI_vcgencmd_usage> for more information. I've downloaded the SRPM package from here <http://www.squeezecommunity.org/repo/fedora/24/pi/SRPMS/raspberrypi-vc-2016…>, and I realized that it was pretty easy to build on a full-updated CentOS 7 (kernel 4.4.14-v7).
