Kernel 3.18 is ready for developer testing

[pstglia]

Thank you very much for this! After trying to merge 3.16 and Android 3.14
kernels through "git rebase", I know how hard this work is.
Plus, I saw the patches you pushed to fix lot of problems

It's really amazing the job you've been doing all these years with
Android-x86

Regards,
pstglia

ps: For many people, you are Santa Claus today :)

Hi,
I have pushed the android-3.18 branch of kernel
based on the vanilla kernel 3.18 to the git server.
cd kernel
git fetch x86 android-3.18
git checkout x86/android-3.18
cd ..
Then build the iso_img as usual.
m -jX iso_img
(with 32-bit userspace)
touch bionic/libc/kernel/uapi/linux/binder.h
m -jX iso_img TARGET_KERNEL_ARCH=x86_64 \
TARGET_USES_64_BIT_BINDER=true
It is only build-able with the lollipop-x86 branch now.
Later I'll update the kitkat-x86 kernel building rules
to align with lollipop-x86.
Especially thanks to pstglia who made this possible.

Chih-Wei thanks a lot for brand new kernel to you and pstglia



I'm trying to build x86_64 iso, with mesa 9.2.0devel modded for 64 bit, at
this point the only thing missing is to enable ASM optimizations for i915
and i965.



Question1: is TARGET_KERNEL_ARCH=x86_64 mandatory when giving the following
command (without 64 bit binder, just 32 bit one)?

make -j5 iso_img TARGET_PRODUCT=android_x86_64 TARGET_KERNEL_CONFIG=my_x86_64_defconfig




Question2: TARGET_USES_64_BIT_BINDER=true in my undestanding this will enable binder64, will it also enable zygote64?


Thanks

Oh, I pushed the wrong branch.

Sorry for that.

The kitkat-x86 branch is updated to be compatible

Unfortunately the 64-bit kernel is not compatible with kitkat-x86
(since kitkat only supports binder version 7)
So you can only build the 32-bit kernel with kitkat-x86.

Anyone one has Dell Venue 8 Pro or other similar BayTrail-based tablet,

Does Asus T100 qualify as "similar baytrail"?

cat and lsmod result attached (tried copy-pasting it, but android terminal
emulator is not copy-paste friendly).

Additional info:
wifi:
- works after I installed it to disk with system rw (doesn't work on live).
No need to add any additional firmware.
- kinda flakey. It works when its on from the start, or when it's off but
then you turn it on. It doesn't work when you turn it off and then on.
- connection speed is good, which is better then on ubuntu and
t100-specific kernel (
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4s5KNXf2Z36MlhrQVplZC14UWM&usp=sharing&tid=0B9C1WK1FQhjfcXNrbzN6djQzajg
, slow to the point of unusable)

other things that work:
- youtube
- battery status

what doesn't work:
- bluetooth
- physical buttons (which works on ubuntu with the above kernel)
- scroll using touchpad
- other things that are known to be broken (i.e. suspend/resume using power
button)

Sometimes it also freezes, or seems to be under heavy load (slow to
response)

I tested with my Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 8. Wifi and BT don't work, probably
because the broadcom device registers as a usb device instead of as a sdio
device (see attached dmesg). Sound also doesn't work. In order to get wifi
to work i dumped the broadcom nvram from efivard using the fedlet linux. I
also attached that file.I had to rebuild system.img with that file included
in /lib/firmware/brcm I also replaced the wifi main driver file by the
attached one which I extracted from the win8.1 driver package. So far I
never got wifi to work with any of the android and linux images I tried on
my thinkpad tablet.It appears the sdio wifi device depends on some other
device.

Keep up the great work guys!

/JockyW

PS: On my Voyo A1 mini, which is also a baytrail device with intel hd
graphics, the display garbles as soon as android starts when it should show
the Android splash. The only OS I can get to work on the Voyo is Ubuntu
14.04 with a 3.13.0-32-generic kernel. All other images (fedlet, android,
etc.) have the same garbled graphics issue upon start.

I have successfully managed to build the lollipop branch with this kernel,
and it run's successfully on my Toshiba WT10-A tablet, however the Wifi
does not appear to work. I can turn it on, however no access points appear.

I have located the source code for my wifi card
(RTL8723BS) https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs - However, i am unsure how
to merge the code into the android source to compile this driver into
Android.

Any help?

https://github.com/hadess/rtl8723bs - However, i am unsure how to merge
the code into the android source to compile this driver into Android.

You can do something like this:

1) Get hadess's git and copy entire directory
to kernel/drivers/net/wireless:

$ *ANDROID_SRC_DIR*/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8723as$ ls -l

-rwxr-xr-x 1 paulo paulo 360 Dec 30 02:04 Kconfig*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 paulo paulo 42101 Dec 30 02:04 Makefile*
drwxr-xr-x 3 paulo paulo 4096 Dec 30 02:04 core/
drwxr-xr-x 7 paulo paulo 4096 Dec 30 02:04 hal/
drwxr-xr-x 4 paulo paulo 12288 Dec 30 02:04 include/
drwxr-xr-x 3 paulo paulo 4096 Dec 30 02:04 os_dep/


2) Under kernel/drivers/net/wireless/Kconfig, add the line marked with +
signal (do not include the plus sign when pasting):

source "drivers/net/wireless/rtl818x/Kconfig"
+ source "drivers/net/wireless/rtl8723bs/Kconfig"

3) Go to root directory and type these to access kernel menuconfig:

$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch android_x86-eng
$ make -C kernel O=$OUT/obj/kernel ARCH=x86 menuconfig

4) Inside menuconfig, navigate to Device Drivers -> Network Device Support
-> Wireless LAN and enable these 2 options using spacebar ( [M] to compile
as module ; [*] to be built-in kernel img ):


*Realtek 8723A SDIO or SPI WiFi*

*Realtek 8723B SDIO or SPI WiFi*
*Enable SDIO interface for Realtek*

5) Save your new config and exit menuconfig

6) Delete these files/directories to ensure they will be built with your
changes:

# For safety :)
cd /tmp

rm -f ${OUT}/kernel ${OUT}/system.sfs
${OUT}/obj/PACKAGING/systemimage_intermediates/system.img
rm -rf $OUT/system/lib/modules

7) build as usual

Note: You can also edit .config and add options directly on it. It's your
choice

Hope this helps

I completed all these steps successfully as a module, however the rtl8723bs
code is not compiling. I've double, and triple checked the steps.

Android is building OK, just not the new driver.

I completed all these steps successfully as a module, however the
rtl8723bs code is not compiling. I've double, and triple checked the steps.
Android is building OK, just not the new driver.

A) Confirm if the config options were included to your .config file:

cd YOUR_ANDROID_SRC

egrep "8723[AB]S|WLAN_SDIO" out/target/product/x86/obj/kernel/.config

Should return this:
CONFIG_RTL8723AS=m
CONFIG_RTL8723BS=m
CONFIG_WLAN_SDIO=m

B) Confirming 1, try removing all the files and directories inside
out/target/product/x86/obj/kernel ( keep there just .config file ). Remove
all the other files/directories mentioned before on step 6 and try building
again

Regards,
pstglia

[Andrew Stubbs]

I can confirm the presence of the lines in the .config file, I can also confirm all build files from the out directory were removed.

I even did a clean, and fresh build however the driver is not building.

I can only assume something is missing preventing the driver from building?

[Andrew Stubbs]

Ok, i got a little closer. I added the following line to
kernel/drivers/net/wireless/Makefile

obj-$(CONFIG_RTL8723BS) += rtl8723bs/

and the driver starts to compile, however errors out with

Seems related to this patch:

A parameter was removed from cfg80211_rx_mgmt function (gfp_t
<http://lxr.free-electrons.com/ident?v=3.17;i=gfp_t> gfp)

Try removing the last parameter from every call to "cfg80211_rx_mgmt" and
try again.

Removing of the parameter appeared to work. The wifi now turns on, and
displays neighboring access points. However it does not appear to last
forever.

When you select your AP and enter the password, it saves it but does not
connect. When you reselect, and click connect, it just sits as saved.

If you refresh the AP List, none appear. Looks like the wifi initially
works, then fails.

Have you looked dmesg/logcat outputs? Maybe we can have a clue what's going
on there

Removing of the parameter appeared to work. The wifi now turns on, and
displays neighboring access points. However it does not appear to last
forever.
When you select your AP and enter the password, it saves it but does not
connect. When you reselect, and click connect, it just sits as saved.
If you refresh the AP List, none appear. Looks like the wifi initially
works, then fails.

If I use 3.10 it works.
I use a realtek card and as far as I can tell the driver loads properly. It
turns on, but above you can see no scans results.

I found the problem on my wifi card:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88951
Kernel 3.18.1 comes with a fix for the problem of no networks on the SSID
scan.
I backported the 3 changes mentioned on the bug and I was able to compile
and have wifi working.
I guess when the project gets updated to 3.18.1 this will be fix for
everyone. As for now, seems to work by just applying the patches.

and have wifi working.
I guess when the project gets updated to 3.18.1 this will be fix for
everyone. As for now, seems to work by just applying the patches.

Good to know that.
Thank you for the info.

[Jocky Wilson]

Yes, the patch works fine and I could build a x86 kk image with kernel
3.18.1 booting up nicely on my baytrail tablets, a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 8
and a Voyo A1 Mini.
Unfortunately, wifi still doesn't work. My Voyo A1 mini has a RTK8723BS
SDIO which isn't detected. There are no devices shown in
/sys/bus/sdio/devices
When I boot Fedlet (== Fedora with Adam Williamson's Baytrail patches)
which uses kernel 3.18.0 the RTK8723BS sdio device is detected and shows as
mmc1:0001:1 directory under /sys/bus/sdio/devices

Is SDIO support missing in the kernel config? I used git checkout
x86/android-3.18 and applied this 3.18.1 patch
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/patch-3.18.1.xz

[Jocky Wilson]

I merged various settings from the Fedlet kernel config. Unfortunately
still no sdio devices listed on the Voyo A1 mini tablet.
In the kernel log there is an entry:
mmc1: SDHCI controller on ACPI [INT33BB:00] using ADMA
When I insmod 8723bs.ko then the driver loads without problems, but no wifi.

On the Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 8, the broadcom sdio wifi device (brcmfmac)
is found and does show up under /sys/bus/sdio/devices, but wifi doesn't
start
After insmod brcmfmac.ko I see "mmc1: queueing unknown CIS tuple 0x80 (2
bytes)" errors, followed by "byt-rt5640 baytrail-pcm-audio not registered",
"byt-rt5640 requests probe deferral", brcmfmac loads, followed by
"brcm_sdio_htclk: HT Avail timeout (1000000): clkctl 0x50" errors. It seems
the broadcom wifi device is somehow coupled with the sound device?!

Not so easy to tackle these issues :(

Hey rbg,

Just Downloaded And Installed 5.0.2 -r2 x64, Running like a Bad A$$, Wifi, Sound working on my Dell 1750, Question though, Got A way to Put GAPPS on Here, Atleast the Play Store? Or Is that Gonna Cause An Issue?

Or Maybe Update from the 5.0 Alpha? Dunno If that would work with the Kernel Change....

Any Ideas?

Thanks

Hi Andrew, I had missed your reply, sorry

I saw some occurrences of this msg on dmesg output:

<0>[ 248.319520] RTL871X: fw read cmd failed..


This is print inside FillH2CCmd8723B function:


========================================================================

//pay attention to if race condition happened in H2C cmd setting.

do{

h2c_box_num = pHalData->LastHMEBoxNum;

#endif //DBG_CHECK_FW_PS_STATE

//DBG_8192C(" 0x1c4: 0x%8x\n", rtw_read32(padapter, 0x1c4));

goto exit;

}

========================================================================


To be very honest, I have no idea this function and "*_is_fw_read_cmd_down*" is supposed to (fw reading?)

This appears to be part of Realtek original code, as many drivers share the same function call/ debugging msg.


I tried to search more info on web. On fedlet page, I saw someone say that they could with networks using WEP encryption and Open networks (both with bugs - not that stable), but no WPA.

Can't hurt to try :)

Removing of the parameter appeared to work. The wifi now turns on, and
displays neighboring access points. However it does not appear to last
forever.
When you select your AP and enter the password, it saves it but does not
connect. When you reselect, and click connect, it just sits as saved.
If you refresh the AP List, none appear. Looks like the wifi initially
works, then fails.

Thanks pstglia for looking into this. I'll have a look around regarding the specific errors and see if I can find anything.

I've also noted a free me commits to the drivers got, one specifically for the 3.18 kernel, so I'll sync my code tonight and rebuild to see what happens.

Hi Jocky,

I just downloaded the master branch, cleared all build files and rebuilt
5.0.2 with 3.18 kernel - When it boots, it run's like a charm. Connecting

work's fine, installed a few games which ran without issue (other than no

Hi Andrew,

The master branch has changed a lot in the past couple of days. You can
find your version in the file .git/logs/HEAD, the commit version is usually
the first 7 digits of the hash value, e.g. 3dd8594d if the hash is

Hi, I'm using the stock 4.4 version which was published together with a
dual-boot firmware (bios) by Voyo. It works perfect for me, but I
understand some a1 users had issues after they flashed the firmware, like
no screen output iirc.
If time allows I want to build a android-x86 or cyan based on the stock
64bit kernel/modules version.

Ok, i got a little closer. I added the following line to
kernel/drivers/net/wireless/Makefile

obj-$(CONFIG_RTL8723BS) += rtl8723bs/

and the driver now compiles.

Post by Andrew Stubbs
I can confirm the presence of the lines in the .config file, I can also
confirm all build files from the out directory were removed.
I even did a clean, and fresh build however the driver is not building.
I can only assume something is missing preventing the driver from building?

I have pushed the android-3.18 branch of kernel
based on the vanilla kernel 3.18 to the git server.
cd kernel
git fetch x86 android-3.18
git checkout x86/android-3.18
cd ..
Then build the iso_img as usual.
m -jX iso_img

touch bionic/libc/kernel/uapi/linux/binder.h
m -jX iso_img TARGET_KERNEL_ARCH=x86_64 \

It is only build-able with the lollipop-x86 branch now.
Later I'll update the kitkat-x86 kernel building rules
to align with lollipop-x86.

Hi,
I have pushed the android-3.18 branch of kernel
based on the vanilla kernel 3.18 to the git server.
cd kernel
git fetch x86 android-3.18
git checkout x86/android-3.18
cd ..
Then build the iso_img as usual.
m -jX iso_img
(with 32-bit userspace)
touch bionic/libc/kernel/uapi/linux/binder.h
m -jX iso_img TARGET_KERNEL_ARCH=x86_64 \
TARGET_USES_64_BIT_BINDER=true
It is only build-able with the lollipop-x86 branch now.
Later I'll update the kitkat-x86 kernel building rules
to align with lollipop-x86.
Especially thanks to pstglia who made this possible.

Hi all!

May I ask for some help regarding the 3.18 kernel?

building the kernel out of the box for x86 is working without build errors
but when booting on my Microsoft Surface Pro 2 I get a bootloop
bootscreen shows like a normal boot procedure but befor getting to the
android boot logo the last line : SysRq emegency remount R/O ==> leads to a
reboot.

building the complete source for X86_64 I got building errors like
glabi_mapi_tmp.h (Mesa stuff) not found,...

Would be very interesting how you solve this issues

And yes, its a fresh and unmodified source :-D

regards
Mario

[Mario Holzinger]

OK must be my little knowledge about git.

Using gitg under my Ubuntu environment to change back to 3.10 and return to 3.18.2 now it boots (x86 build) :-)

[oscar bg]

It's very nice to see android x86 progressing fast with lollipop 64bit
kernel builds but what about 64 bit user space lollipop builds?
it's possible? what's left to do?
thanks..

Just finished a little experiment with todays 4.4.4 build and the gapps extracted from 4.4R1 and 4.4R2 isos

Both gapps act funky and have issues (google keyboard inop, must skip through setup and turn it off) maps FC)

.. but if you use the gapps included in 4.4r1, they UPDATE, and everything starts working well, eventually.
(still have to work your way through turning off google keyboard until updated etc, bt works after updates and a reboot)

Using the gapps included on 4.4R2 they mostly update, but one of the core ones will not update(provisioning?), and neither will maps.

The installs using the R2 included gapps also hang randomly.

Will 64 bit userspace builds help anything?

A 64 bit kernel allows full memory space, and one can install a 64 bit Linux in a chroot, but I can't think of too many Android apps that can really need/use 64 bit address space.

...Or am I missing something?

[Jason Mayfield-Lewis]

x86 has twice the registers in x86-64 Long mode, hence it actually performs
better. Does ART in Lollipop support AMD64? If so it would definitely be
worth it (unlike the Nexus 9 reviewers have been making a fuss about, which
gains nothing and only has 2GB of RAM!)

Greetings, Android(86) port developers Chih-Wei and all,
I apologize if posted in wrong thread, couldn't post a new one.
As a blind user of linux and android and windows,
Just like to know if its possible to get speech feedback within the
installation steps of the android86,
like what we have with fedora, archlinux, ubuntu and sonar etc?
that way we would be able to test and use android86 builds without the need
of the sighted acisstance, from others, wich most of the time they has no
knaulage about what we need.
so please give it a deep look cause its a very important feature for us to
have since in the current its a nogo on our own.
and to know more about it see the link below
http://linux-speakup.org/distros.html
Thanks in advance
my best regards

I tried lollipop on an AMD Turion(tm) X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile ZM-80 and
got the following fatal error.

F libc : Fatal signal 4 (SIGILL), code 2, fault addr 0xb56ae795 in tid
1892 (main)

Tried again with 3.18 to see if the SSSE3 kernel patch would fix the
problem, but it did not. I'm not sure what else would be causing a SIGILL
other than SSSE3, as the chip has SSE3. But, that would mean that the SSSE3
emulation patch to enable houdini would be pointless if the system couldn't
boot in the first place. So, I'm lost.

Ok, and I'm sure that patch was written for KK, which does boot without
SSSE3.

So, that patch probably just needs expanded upon.

If I remember correctly, Robert, the author of
the SSSE3 emulation patch said he only
emulates the SSSE3 instructions used
by houdini.
Another possible reason is, Robert's patch
was developed on kernel 3.10 before.
It may not be correctly ported to 3.18.
(I just applied it and fixed some minor conflicts)
Hope Robert can give better comment.

great kernel is updated to 3.18.8

it can be built out of the box and first tests seems to be ok
