Petitboot is now upstream in the base set of buildroot packages. Remove it from the op-build br2-external tree, and remove things that are now automatically selected by CONFIG_PACKAGE_PETITBOOT=y from the buildroot config. The udev rules pertaining to SCSI devices, software RAID devices, and removable devices are not upstream. Move them to the overlay. Also move petituser's dotfiles to the overlay, to retain the "root shell by default" behavior from commit db6ca35 ("petitboot: Enable user separation").

With the newer buildroot, * Building for power8 is now the default for ppc64le * GCC 11 is no longer available * The default optimization level has changed from -Os to -O2 Adjust to these changes and normalize our configs by running openpower/scripts/update-defconfigs.sh \ --disable BR2_GCC_VERSION_11_X \ --enable BR2_OPTIMIZE_S Signed-off-by: Reza Arbab <arbab@linux.ibm.com>
Due to buildroot commit 8f88a644ed7d ("support/scripts/apply-patches.sh:
set the maximum fuzz factor to 0"), a couple of patches now fail to
apply. Adjust them to apply without any fuzz.

There is no difference between our custom device_table.txt and the default one. Remove it to keep us in sync with buildroot updates going forward. Signed-off-by: Reza Arbab <arbab@linux.ibm.com>
The inittab in our overlay is currently missing the changes from these buildroot commits: 22fde22 ("Create and mount /dev/shm") d39641c ("target/generic: inittab: fix devpts mounts when devtmpfs is used") bf01e51f3c62 ("skeleton + init: prepare /run/lock and adjust compat symlinks") d524cc7 ("busybox: add an inittab entry to activate swap") 456ea98 ("busybox: add /dev/std{in, out, err} symlinks to inittab") fb4c041 ("inittab: disable reboot by ctrl-alt-del") Our inittab is really just the buildroot default with every line modified to suppress console output. To prevent us from getting out of sync going forward, stop overlaying a new inittab and just use a post-build script to modify whatever buildroot provides instead.

Can one of the admins verify this patch? |
|
@runlevel5, does this look okay to you? I know you ran into issues with |
|
@rarbab thanks much for this work I will let you know as soon as I am back from holiday |
This was referenced Jul 8, 2025
|
@rarbab while you are at this, could you please bump the kernel to latest 5.15? |
|
@runlevel5 Is there some reason we need 5.15? From a service perspective, the 5.10.x and 5.15.x LTS releases are both currently projected to have the same end-of-life. |
@rarbab ultimately I want to bump to latest 6.15.x series because it has up-to-date firmwares for hardwares. For example the RaptorCS Blackbird workstation would not be able to load up AMD graphic card driver at the early stage of boot menu. |
Is that currently the state of things with 5.10? AMD cards don't work? I think we should ride 5.10 out until its end-of-life is near, and then jump to whichever LTS release buys us the most service time. (FWIW, 6.15 is not LTS.) |
Yes, it won't.
The 6.12 LTS does support many modern AMD GPUs, perhaps we should consider bumping to 6.12 instead? |
|
@rarbab is there any particular policy from IBM or OpenPOWER on choosing kernel version? |
|
I think the idea has always been to keep churn to a minimum. Essentially what I described; pick an LTS release and stick with it for as long as possible. It's less important now because a lot of the IBM platforms themselves are out of service, but I'd personally like to stick with that. 5.10, 5.15, 6.6, and 6.12 all end in about a year. As that time nears we should know the next LTS. I will start rigging up a proof-of-concept with 6.x just to get ahead of any possible gotchas and test it out, so we are ready to go when the time comes. FYI, we are testing out 6.1 (which ends in two years) in the service branch for mowgli, so that could be a good canary. |
|
@rarbab fair point. Now I do agree with you that we should stick to 6.1. I will test the 6.1 branch on my blackbird |

Long overdue update to modern versions of buildroot, the kernel, and skiboot, for security and bug fixes.
On a RHEL8 builder, every defconfig in openpower/configs still builds for me.
