Kernel 3.12.13 for ROSA 2012 2012.1 OMV 2013 2014 cooker

Post by NicCo »

Kernel 3.12.13 for ROSA 2012lts, rosa2012.1 and omv2013.0, omv2014.0, and cooker (omv2014.0)
Kernel 3.12.13 arrives totally unexpected for me,
two kernels releases in one single week is a very rare event, and almost unique...

It's an unusual and very fast release, especially because is NOT like a revert patch release, fixing one heavy bug coming from the previous version, but is a real version with a great and interesting number of patches fixes and with new drivers, a number of changes close to 100...

Considering the upcoming release of OpenMandriva Lx 2014 Beta, I have deemed it appropriate that it was urgent, so I've prepared it today, just this morning I have compiled it on my PC, then I've installed on my 3 Pcs and I've verified that it works as expected, finally I have sent it to ABF


Kernel 3.12.13 - https://lwn.net/Articles/587754/
Since version 3.12.11 we use the new stable major version of BFQ v7r2

we found a solution to be applied directly to the vmware sources

A little comparison of boot times between current Kernel 3.10 and 3.12

In the laptop Dell Precision M6600, I tried to test the boot times between the kernel 3.10 and latest 3.12 developments:
a clean install of ROSA Fresh x86_64, the ISO is latest one from > http://mirror.rosalab.ru/rosa/rosa2012. ... utotested/

At first I rebooted the PC 3 times with the same kernel version, all this in order to have more stable and constant values.
I have repeated the comparisons for five times, we can notice that we have a gain of about 10 secs (kernel + userspace)
(with the latest kernel 3.10 we range from 52 to 58 secs, with the current 3.12.13 we range from 41 to 47 secs)

A subsequent test kernel desktop nrjQL 3.12.3 gives the same values, about 45 secs of total average, as the nrj flavour

Kernel nrj and nrjQL are such complex beasts with a lot of features and patches!

We need to wait for all those patches availability, before we can start preparing...

Generally, our first version has been the fourth or fifth, like for example 3.12.5

This time the fundamental patchset CK and BFS scheduler arrives a little late,
the past week finally has been released the latest necessary piece we needed
http://ck-hack.blogspot.it/
Monday, 3 March 2014
BFS 0.446, 3.13-ck1
Announcing a resync and update of BFS for linux kernel 3.13.x
and so, few days ago, the preparation for nrj/nrjQL 3.13 has silently started...


Today I've worked on the preparation of kernel docs
https://wiki.openmandriva.org/en/Kernel


Next week I'll focus entirely on preparing and completing the first kernel 3.13.x:
I hope that we can do on time for upcoming OpenMandriva 2014 Beta release.
