Bug#733895: kernel 3.12 FTBFS and parisc patches
Package: linux
Version: 3.12
Severity: bug
Tags: patch
In Bug# 721191 we removed the parisc-smp and parisc64 (non-SMP) kernel variants.
Sadly I forgot to correct the kernel versions in the debian/installer/hppa/kernel-versions file, so that the final build stage failed because it tried to package the parisc64 variant for the debian-installer, while only the parisc64-smp variant is available.
The attached patch fixes this.
Furthermore the attached patch changes the kernel to build-in the AGP modules, else we get an AGP-error at boot (Ben Hutchings suggested in bug 721191 this: "You might yet need to make them built-in, as nothing else ensures that AGP devices are initialised before DRM devices.").
And the attached patch enables the CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW=y option. With that one, we get enhanced information about stack usage in the /proc/interrupts file and stack overflows was one of the main problems regarding stability of the parisc-kernel in the past.
Performance-penalty of this option is minimal.
Thanks,
Helge
