Re: Moving Linux Kernel to 6.12

The MIP is a dedicated MSI(-X) target present in the 2712. It is hardwired to a number of GIC interrupts, and thus gives a faster interrupt response than you get with the Root Complex's built-in MSI target which requires a chained interrupt handler.

Thanks for the reply. That MIP sounds like a good thing. Now I wonder why the no-mip option.

Hi,

I am having a problem with the new kernel. I am trying to build and install decklink drivers on my Pi5 but this fails because the linux headers for kernel 6.12.22-v8-16k+ are not available.

Regards,

Mick

FYI in case I'm not the only one: the 6.12 kernel has a nasty regression in the mt7921 Wi-Fi driver which I use as an AP. The driver crashes shortly after any connection is made.

The fix just made it to the 6.12.23 stable release of the kernel a couple days ago, which I suppose means it'll soon be picked up in the raspberry pi tree. For now I've reverted to 6.6

wifi: mt76: mt7921: fix kernel panic due to null pointer dereference

commit adc3fd2a2277b7cc0b61692463771bf9bd298036 upstream.

Address a kernel panic caused by a null pointer dereference in the
`mt792x_rx_get_wcid` function. The issue arises because the `deflink` structure
is not properly initialized with the `sta` context. This patch ensures that the
`deflink` structure is correctly linked to the `sta` context, preventing the
null pointer dereference.

After updating to 6.12 via rpi-update, /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/gpu_usage disappears, so it is no longer possible to monitor GPU usage.

Edit:
... at least on my CM4. I haven't yet tested other devices.

Edit:
According to https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/6517, the stats have moved to a new location, but I still can't find them.

Edit:
According to https://github.com/raspberrypi-ui/wfplu ... 29d571e746 wfplug-gpu was updated to read stats from /sys/devices/platform/axi/1002000000.v3d/gpu_stats, but that file also doesn't exist, so it seems wfplug-gpu will need another update.

Pi4/CM4 is /sys/devices/platform/v3dbus/fec00000.v3d/gpu_stats. I'll give the relevant person a ping.

Thanks for the report.

If anyone is still monitoring this post, it seems 6.12.25 breaks ptp4l again.

I posted here: viewtopic.php?p=2321622#p2321622

Any advice is much appreciated.

anything after "6.12.25+rpt-rpi-2712" breaks my pi5 ptp configuration

EBUSY on opening /dev/ptp0

See previous comment. The upstream patch for the upstream breakage appeared in rpi-6.12.y today, and you can install a beta build with "sudo rpi-update", but be careful if you are relying on the initramfs (e.g. for exotic filesystems or drivers) in order to get to your root filing system - rpi-update won't rebuild that for you, you'd be better of waiting for the next kernel package in apt.
