#82692 — Agenda items for kernel-team meeting on 2024-06-12

Hi all,

Thanks partecipating to the kernel team meetings. As we agreed on the
last meeting, here is the start of the thread to collect potential
agenda points for the next meeting.

I plan to collect those on (e.g.) a wiki page on our salsa kernel-team
project and share them at least 24h in advance of the meeting again.

If you have any improvement wish for those meeting, ideas, feedback
etc. share it please. The goal will remain to improve our team
comunication and address issues more timely.

The last meeting notes are at:
https://meetbot.debian.net/debian-kernel/2024/debian-kernel.2024-06-05-19.00.html

Regards,
Salvatore

Hi,

I want to find a resolution for the default sysctl issue in time for
Trixie. Given the kernel team has expressed strong preferences in the
past, I would greatly appreciate it if you could please discuss it at
one of your meetings, more details at:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1027773#82

Let me know if you need any more information. Thanks!

Kind regards,

Hi,

I'd like to propose the following item:
- Adapting the Debian build scripts for the tools build framework

In the upstream `tools` dir there are a number of `Build` files which seem to 
be part of the tools build framework.
They look a lot like `Makefile`, but apparently are a bit different?

It became an actual problem when working on 6.10-rcX due to this commit:
82b0945ce2c2 ("tools: hv: Add new fcopy application based on uio driver")

IIUC, the `Build` file tells the build system to build `vmbus_bufring.o` (which 
is needed for `hv_fcopy_uio_daemon`), but that is not part of the `Makefile`.
So when I (or Salsa's CI) tries to build it, it fails as it doesn't have 
`vmbus_bufring.o`.

Rather then try to hack around to fix this specific problem, it would be better 
and more sustainable if the Debian build scripts were adapted so that it uses 
the (upstream) build framework (when needed).

https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/merge_requests/1081 
titled "Update to 6.9.x" also contains the following commit:
"d/rules.d: rtla: Update Makefile for upstream restructuring"
which references the following upstream commit:
01474dc706ca ("tools/rtla: Use tools/build makefiles to build rtla")

I'm not saying it's wrong, but it was an adaptation for a kind of hack, so it 
may be  useful to take that into account as well.

Cheers,
  Diederik
