)
:
Situation: RasperryPi, OOT lkrg module, requires config setting enabled, amd64 is enabled.
Surprised that is is not consistent enabled.
Concerns about enabling it, since kconfig help explicitly tells that if concerned about memory, increased size of image.
@benh, @waldi: OOT lkrg module patches symbols to get some auditing to/from it.
Remark: Config is enabled on amd64 because we enabled livepatch on amd64.
Is livepatch for all architctures? Just going for arm64 does not sound right. (ppc64el, s390x, ... major architectures)
@benh: We could ask people ask people (@santiago, @eamanu) working on livepatch implementation.
@ema: livepatch only supported on amd64, but they will need as well the option on arm64 when its ready.
livepatch: is patching arbitrary code and needs know where it is located.
@ema: kprobes as well as arguments to enable the option.
@ukleinek: Is it already techincally possible that depending bootparameter to get all symbols or not?
@benh: possibly there is not not (yet) an option for that. Don't know if there is a mechanism for that.
@ema: technically possible, but there is no bootparameter for that.
@ukleinek: if the boottime parameter would exist, then yes we could go on to enable it on the major architecutres, but not clear now.
@ema: All the other distros have it on.
@enh: Main reason is for debugging and tracing, so enable it on all architectues where we have BTF enabled?
Agreement: enable it on all architecutes where BTF is enabled. @benh followsup on the MR, @ema will take care.

)
@ukleinek: maybe a hardware problem with RAM? Can be.
@ema: could be a memeory problem.
-> Try a memory checker, to see if they have some bad ram.
@benh: we could disaselble the code.
We could look deeper in the code, look into exact failure but first to test hardware
First step memory checks.
@ukleinek: takes action to ask back.

\#1102175
](
https?/bugs.debian.org/1102175
)
Kernel is tainted, not the first warning
So we need to get full kernel log
If it is reproducible ask it it on the latest kernel to possible too.
It is 6.12.17.
so test newer kernel. 6.12.21 6.13.10 from experimental.
@ukleinek: we had similar bug recently.
Action. (@carnil ask for the above informations)

\#1102422
](
https://bugs.debian.org/1102422
)
`tpm tpm0: tpm_try_transmit: send(): error -62`
62 is
`ETIME 62 Timer expired`
@ukleinek: similar problem on own laptop. kernel parameter, which makes the TPM work, disbled IOMMU to make it work?
-
more information about full kernel log
-
ask if it is a regresson? (maybe it is ....)
-
do noewer kernel work?
-
error reported is quite uncommon.
-
Reporter uses MrChromebox-4.10, could be a coreboot / firmware bug.
Action: @ema take action to ask for more information.

\#1101546
](
https://bugs.debian.org/1101546
)
@waldi: firware possiblly not loaded?
@benh: suspect BIOS update did reset things harder and made wifi work again
@ema: perhaps windows driver did tune some internal state, so might possible that the BIOS update did reset those.
Action: possible ask for kernel log for working system and nonworking state?
@waldi: the reporter does not have the correct firmware, fails to load every firmware it tries? Linux is not able to load the firwware.
-> We do not have log for a nonowrking state.
Linux tries to detect the HW and fails with timeout.
Action: ask to provide full logs of working and non working state, otherwise close. (@waldi)

works with backports kernel, not on bookworm.
User should use first reportbug
Ask for a proper report, if nothing comes back close the bugreport
(maybe close the bug as fixed in bookworm-backports)
@ukleinek takes action.

\#1101940
](
https://bugs.debian.org/1101940
)
amdgpu is not only thing broken, we need more logs
should get more information / full.
upstream issue which look similar.
related issues are linked, not not resolution as far we can see.
@benh: amdgpu dkms found bug about the adding of modprobe file, filled upstream
@ukleinek: Okay to wait until next week
@ema: Ask Cordell Bloor, to look at the amdgpu specific, can work for AMD specifically on Debian bugs.

Close the bug, there is nothing to do with with that
-> close the bug.
-> Action: close the bug (@carnil)
# New version 6.15
@waldi, let's go to 6.14 first. Takes care of updating for experimental.
@benh: preference on 6.14 first so we have a reference package as well.
# Merge reeueqsst
*
handbook MR
@waldi: we should fix the values in the scripts.
*
modprobe.d bug report
one problem: implementation either requires debianutils from trixie or
`modprobe -c`
considering about
`modprobe -c`
and filter out things out.
`run-parts`
does not properly skip directories which does not exist -> @waldi has to fill a bug
*
@ukleinek takes arm64 specific MRs
-
@ukleinek: [arm64] Enable
`ARM_CCA_GUEST`
as module important for both flawours? -> so mostly usefull for cloud images but neabled for both.
*
Enable
`CONFIG_HZ_1000`
@benh posted his statement in the MR.
So just take into consideration just for
`debian/latest`
not trixie.
Keep it out of trixie
@benh: not saying we should defintively enable them as suggested. They should just be considered as well.
Not urgent, we can see how it moves on.
# AOB
Chair: @benh takes care.
