Firmware
by David Woodhouse
Been playing with how I'd make the kernel package deal with the new
'make firmware_install' stuff. Currently looks something like this.
I suspect that (for now) we should make the kernel binary packages
depend on kernel-firmware?
Should the package own the /lib/firmware/ directory?
Ideally we'll want kernel-firmware to be a .noarch.rpm, but we can't get
that until we start to build it from a separate srpm.
Other comments?
(the patch is from git.infradead.org/users/dwmw2/firmware-2.6.git)

[PATCH] ia64: export account_system_vtime
by Doug Chapman
This has been pushed and ACKed upstream on the linux-ia64 list. If
possible I would like to get this pulled into Fedora now since it breaks
Fedora ia64 kernel builds.
thanks,
- Doug
----------------------------
The symbol account_system_vtime is used by the kvm module but
not exported. This breaks building with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
and CONFIG_KVM=m.

kernel module options for cpufreq
by Richard Hughes
At the moment we set:
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_PERFORMANCE is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_USERSPACE=y
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_ONDEMAND is not set
# CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_DEFAULT_GOV_CONSERVATIVE is not set
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_PERFORMANCE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE=m
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE=y
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND=m
CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_CONSERVATIVE=m
This is not ideal from a power-saving point of view.
In an ideal world we would:
* remove CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_CONSERVATIVE -- ondemand does a better job
on all workloads
* remove CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_USERSPACE -- we have nothing in userspace
that needs this sort of control, and if we did, the latency would be
horrible
* remove CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_POWERSAVE -- ondemand automatically
throttles down to lowest, and is just a hardcoded state
* compile into the kernel CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_GOV_ONDEMAND -- we really
want to be running this on all systems that support it
* set ONDEMAND or PERFORMANCE to default as USERSPACE is just changed
to something else by cpuspeed. You really don't want to be using
USERSPACE at all.
Matthew Garrett and I are working on a latency profile for power
management, and having all these modules potentially loaded is bad.
Comments?
Richard.

revisit: turning some of the "always used" modules to built-in
by Arjan van de Ven
A few weeks ago the discussion about considering making some of the things
in the fedora kernel not-a-module came up, but then died out. I'd like
to revisit that discussion with a very specific proposal of things
to turn into built-in.
For me, there are 3 key reasons to make certain things not-a-module:
1) Built-in code is easier to debug/diagnose. This may sound weird, but
really, things inside the vmlinux allow for much better automated
bug diagnostics/analysis.
( and the www.kerneloops.org site uses these, but can only do the more
advanced automatic analysis on the built-in oopses)
2) Built-in code tends to be smaller and faster; there is a space and TLB
overhead associated with modules (several datastructures get rounded up
to 4K boundaries, and modules are vmalloc'd which has TLB overhead)
3) A system with key functionality not-in-the-vmlinux is more fragile
if something goes wrong
With this in mind, I came up with the list below, I've split it into 4
categories.
I would like to ask feedback on this list, with the goal of getting
these changes made to fedora 10 asap to then get a wider audience input
to see if anything breaks.
Category 1: Always loaded anyway
--------------------------------
Rationale: Since we load these always anyway, why bother making it modules
- ata_generic, pata_acpi
- libata
- sg, sd_mod, scsi_mod
- ext3, jbd, mbcache
Category 2: Always loaded in default install
--------------------------------------------
Rationale: yes you can turn off your firewall.. but nobody should do that.
The others are default-loaded as well
- ip_tables, iptable_filter
- ip6_tables, ip6table_filter
- dm_mod
- ipv6
- battery, ac, button, video, output
Category 3: popular/very common and makes the system more robust
----------------------------------------------------------------
Rationale: having these built in makes the system more robust, also
in case of failure
- ahci (default storage for all new systems; means that there the system
always has the / device driver)
- ehci_hcd (means you have a USB keyboard early)
- cpufreq_ondemand (means the cpu can slow down for power/thermal)
- acpi_cpufreq (means the cpu can slow down for power/thermal)
Category 4: VERY popular
------------------------
Rationale: pretty much always loaded in default installs
- snd_seq_dummy, snd_seq, snd_seq_device,
snd_pcm, snd_timer, snd_page_alloc, snd

- Das Beste an Vi. ist die Sicherheit, dass man "mit Autopilot fliegt", dass man entspannt und ohne Sorgen zur Sache kommen kann, dass der Staender auch haelt, auch wenn man unterbrochen wird (die Kinder klopfen an die Schlafzimmertuer, der Hund bellt, das Kondom sitzt schlecht). Wenn man Vi bewusst anwendet, kann es auch der Partnerin gegenueber ein grosses Geschenk sein. Nur ein Rat: Sagen Sie ihr nicht, dass Sie es verwenden, das weibliche Selbstwertgefuehl ist genauso verletzlich wie das unsere.
