Igor,

 

I noticed that your build script automatically parses a URL to determine what the current stable release is for "Next".

 

Since 4.3 is now officially released and has a number of features worth checking out, it would be nice if the build script offered an option to pick from stable vs. mainline.

 

For now I am just manually setting the KernelTag to "4.3", but it would be nice not to have to modify any of the scripts manually and have this be an option you can pick from.

 

Just a suggestion...

 

Thanks.

hi ytn,

 

in configuration.sh just replace "stable" by "mainline" and also comment non relevant patches in patching.sh

 

kernel 4.3.0 compiles ok, working also, but new features as sunxi-ss are not working I get

[    5.097091] sun4i-ss 1c15000.crypto-engine: no reset control found
[    5.098655] sun4i-ss 1c15000.crypto-engine: Die ID 0
[    5.098672] sun4i-ss 1c15000.crypto-engine: Fail to register md5
[    5.098947] sun4i-ss: probe of 1c15000.crypto-engine failed with error -22

otherwise the patch to test the sunxi prng doesn't work. Other new features seem to have no effect.

Hi Wilcat,

 

Thanks for the response. The sunxi-ss has a bug... that's primarily the reason I wanted to test 4.3.

 

I emailed the driver developer about that error. He has submitted a patch to fix that problem... here's a link to the patch request:

Just define a KERNELTAG in a call script and this way you override automatic selection.

 

We can also add a parameter for MAINLINE / STABLE if that is less confusing?

Hi Igor,

 

A command line parameter to compile.sh would be nice e.g. "./compile.sh mainline"

 

if no parameter is passed in, then it could default to stable. That would make things a lot simpler and not require modifying any of the lib files or having to create separate call scripts to define KERNELTAG.

ytn,

 

thanks for the patch, you have spared me some time :)

 

ss seems to work in /proc/crypto

I am unsure about "just" a ./compile.sh mainline

as one need to be careful with patch management & kernel config in Igor's Armbian tools

Thanks for the feedback on the testing. Any plans to test the other stuff like AES, SHA1 etc?

 

 

it is a decent prng, impossible to assess anything about being a csprng

good question, I need to read soon or later the details of the crypto tests included in the kernel, I only see the following logs (the one with higher priorities for the kernel)

 

 

gr@bpi:~$ dmesg | grep test

as well as the tests marked as "passed" for sun4i_ss/arm/neon

Im trying to build the mainline kernel instead of the stable branch. In this topic i read that i need to change stable to mainline in configuration.sh, however i can not find where i need to do this.

Is it this line:  LINUXKERNEL="git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git" ?

Could someone point me into the right direction ?

To achieve this in current script is a bit hard but you are welcome to jump into testing branch, where this is possible out of the box. This was also one of the core reasons to rework the script.

 

Use this branch:

https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib -b master

Remember to alter branch in this line before start and start from clean dir.

https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/compile.sh#L78

 

It's a dev branch so please be patient ... and report if you encounter strange behavior.

Thanks Igor, i will post my progress here.
