Description Benjamin Schindler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-24 15:42:04 UTC
When trying to compile glibc with nptl, it refuses to compile (running kernel 2.6.4 here)

Comment 1 Benjamin Schindler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-03-24 15:43:21 UTC
Forgot... I'm emerging
[ebuild   R   ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.3_pre20040207  
Comment 2 Gabriel Ebner 2004-04-04 09:59:54 UTC
I get the same errors here.  Also amd64.
Comment 3 Christian Meunier 2004-04-04 16:56:34 UTC
Got the same issue with a fresh install from stage1. Anyone was able to build glibc using nptl under amd64 ?
Comment 4 Benjamin Schindler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-04 22:27:19 UTC
I just noted that the nptl-fix for the nvidia-x drivers hasn't made it's way into  the amd64 drivers. As long they don't I'm not really able to test this - but I'm glad not to be the only one having this problem
Comment 5 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-11 01:31:33 UTC
good news for the nvidia users... i'm currently using nptl with nvidia on amd64.

[ebuild   R   ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.5332-r1
[ebuild   R   ] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.5332-r2
[ebuild   R   ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0
[ebuild   R   ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.3_pre20040207

there seems to be a bug where nvidia-kernel is depending on vanilla-sources-2.4.25... so i merged it with --nodeps (and that may be part of why it's working, which is why i mention it)

and no, I dont have a fix for this bug... note that glibc was built against 2.6.3 and this bug seems to be about compiling with 2.6.4 or greater. but you no longer have to worry about using nptl with nvidia on amd64 like you used to... at least if you use xorg-x11 (i've never used nptl+nvidia with xfree).
Comment 6 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-11 21:01:33 UTC
linux/types.h, asm/types.h, linux/posix_types.h, asm/posix_types.h, and linux/config.h are the same between the two kernels (2.6.3-r1 and 2.6.4).

I hope x86-kernel doesn't mind if I ask for help ^_^;
and yes, this seems to be an amd64-only problem. :(
Comment 7 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-11 22:05:38 UTC
i guess all i needed to do was complain, cuz as soon as i did i managed to figure it out. *hangs head* just take a look at asm/unistd.h

i'm going to bed. i'll take a fresh look at it after class tomorrow, but i should have a patch for this relatively soon.

and it works. for a cheap hack until i submit a patch, just copy the old 2.6.3-r1 unistd.h into /usr/include/asm after upgrading linux-headers
Comment 9 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-12 13:34:08 UTC
Created attachment 29157 [details, diff]
patch to fix asm-x86_64/unistd.h for nptl

this patch encloses some craziness in an #ifdef __KERNEL__ so that it doesn't
break userspace.

you need to cd ${S}/include/asm-x86_64/ before applying
Comment 10 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-12 13:55:37 UTC

nptl patch that isnt broken

oooops. this version of the patch actually works. honest. i accidentally catted
the new version of the patch onto the file with append instead of over-write,
so the previous patch attempts to patch the same thing twice.
Comment 11 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-12 14:31:29 UTC
ok, tested this patch and compiling nptl against 2.6.4 and 2.6.5. both work, so i'm closing this bug. the update might take a little bit to reach rsync, but after that... sync up and enjoy. ;)

Look at Bug 49025..it's a duplicate of this bug and reports the problem for 2.3.3_pre20040420.
Comment 16 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-26 20:27:35 UTC
what you have is a bug in linux-headers, not glibc. it wont compile with your kernel's headers. rm /usr/src/linux && rm /lib/modules/(kernel_version_here)/build && emerge /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-headers/linux-headers-2.6.5.ebuild

if it still fails after that let us know. nptl isn't really supported as well as it should be yet...

Are you sure that my (41950) bug is duplicate of this?
I have seen this bug before reporting my, but the error message in my bug was different and showed no direct connection with kernel headers.

BTW. I currently have 2.6.2-rc2-mm? (+ some patches) kernel.
Comment 19 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-27 07:14:51 UTC
Try to renave your kernel source tree (so that /lib/modules/<ver>/build and
/usr/src/linux wont resolve.  Install linux-headers-2.6.5.

If that still do not work, try with gcc-3.3.3-r3 and latest binutils - might
be that it needs a new attribute that I missed.
Comment 20 Thomas Weidner 2004-04-27 09:51:32 UTC
ok it works with linux-headers-2.6.5. why is the neccessary patch in linux-headers -2.6.5 but not in gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.5? 
Comment 21 Grzegorz Kulewski 2004-04-27 10:51:22 UTC
Compilation succeded after relinking /lib/modules/<ver>/build and /usr/src/linux to more or less vanilla 2.6.6-rc2-bk3 dir (kernel was compiled in this dir before).

I did not installed linux-headers-2.6.5. I still have linux-headers-2.4.?.

Thanks.

if the patch were included in gentoo-dev-sources it risks breaking the kernel itself, without fixing anything for anyone not using gentoo-dev-sources.

it's good to hear that this bug is finally fixed upstream... i'll be looking forward to using nptl without jumping through hoops of fire.
Comment 23 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-28 13:15:41 UTC
I should just get glibc to check and fail if linux-headers is not 2.6.x.
Comment 24 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-28 15:51:24 UTC
that's a bad idea. a lot of other packages break with 2.6 kernel headers. if it were up to me, they wouldnt get installed until everything works with them. i think bundled headers just for glibc+nptl would work better, and having an upstream fix would be even better.
Comment 25 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-04-28 15:56:26 UTC
'a lot of other packages break with 2.6 kernel headers' ...

do you have a list of packages to back that up ?  ive been building my systems now with 2.6 headers and havent hit snags ... the ones i have hit, ive worked with plasmaroo to fix

of course, this is just x86/hppa/ppc/arm that ive done this on ... i cant vouch for amd64/sparc/alpha :P
Comment 26 Grzegorz Kulewski 2004-04-28 16:20:58 UTC
Kernel developers are yelling on LKML about once a week that kernel headers should not be used to build userspace apps _excluding_ glibc.

And there is set of sanitized 2.6 kernel headers (with some pieces from 2.4 headers) that can be (probably) used by userspace. They are "maintained" by Mariusz Mazur <mmazur@kernel.pl> and probably used by PLD - Polish(ed) Linux Distribution. There are anounces on LKML from time to time...

[Warning: I have never used it. And I have not very good opinion about this distro and its developers... But maybe headers are ok?]
Comment 27 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-04-28 16:32:59 UTC
we have researched other 'sanitized headers' and we know the state of what lkml feels on the subject ... we've just rejected other packages because they diverge so much from the actual kernel

our linux-headers-2.6.x are patched to make them work with user space
Comment 28 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-28 17:23:38 UTC
i should harass lordkow to give a list, he's been using 2.6 headers... but on amd64, sash has yet to be fixed. i thought it would be good to go, but it isnt. i cant recall any other apps off the top of my head. also, i just recently fixed this bug that allowed NPTL to compile... which should compile with 2.6 headers without problem to begin with. at least on amd64, i would like not to push 2.6 headers yet.

anyone on this bug like to comment on applications that give you a hard time with 2.6 headers?
Comment 29 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-04-28 18:09:02 UTC
are you refering to this bug with sash ?
