A patch posted to rhkernel-list today. Moving to 5.2. Can we confirm this is in RHEL5.2. Kei, are you happy? I can see this in the CVS head at the moment, but let's make sure it's cool with you before closing. Jon. Don, can you set this MODIFIED if you're happy with it? in kernel-2.6.18-73.el5 You can download this test kernel from http://people.redhat.com/dzickus/el5 I have confirmed the symbols are in the recent whitelist (ia64) and I am OK with either closing this bug or setting it VERIFIED. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0314.html |
We found a problem concerning kabi_whitelist when we trid to make a test module of MCA handler. [root@RHEL5-ss3 TMP5.1]# /usr/bin/python ./abi_check.py /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/FJ SVmcadrv-RHEL5-1.1/obj/default/mca_recovery.ko Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 ABI -------------------------------- Module: /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/FJSVmcadrv-RHEL5-1.1/obj/default/mca_recovery.ko Kernel: 2.6.18-41.el5 Whitelist: /usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-41.el5-ia64/kabi_whitelist WARNING: The following symbols are used by your module WARNING: and are not on the ABI whitelist. symbol: ia64_mca_printk symbol: ia64_mlogbuf_dump Both ia64_mca_printk and ia64_mlogbuf_dump are introduced by the patch here, which are exported for use by a platform-specific MCA handler (which registered via ia64_reg_MCA_extension), but are not on the whitelist. So this couple of symbols needs to be added to the whitelist, ex. the following changes are required: [rhel5_arch_ia64_kernel_u1] __ia64_pal_call_static + ia64_mca_printk + ia64_mlogbuf_dump
