*	Sat Jan 7 20:30:44 UTC 2023...We're going to go ahead and jump to the 6.1.4 kernel, in spite of the fact that a kernel bisect identified the patch that was preventing 32-bit from booting here on a Thinkpad X1E: ------ From 2e479b3b82c49bfb9422274c0a9c155a41caecb7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Kelley <mikelley@microsoft.com> Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2022 10:41:24 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86/ioremap: Fix page aligned size calculation in __ioremap_caller() commit 4dbd6a3e90e03130973688fd79e19425f720d999 upstream. Current code re-calculates the size after aligning the starting and ending physical addresses on a page boundary. But the re-calculation also embeds the masking of high order bits that exceed the size of the physical address space (via PHYSICAL_PAGE_MASK). If the masking removes any high order bits, the size calculation results in a huge value that is likely to immediately fail. Fix this by re-calculating the page-aligned size first. Then mask any high order bits using PHYSICAL_PAGE_MASK. Fixes: ffa71f33a820 ("x86, ioremap: Fix incorrect physical address handling in PAE mode") ------ The non-SMP non-PAE 32-bit kernel is fine even without the patch revert. The PAE kernel also works fine with this patch reverted without any need to revert ffa71f33a820 (the patch that this one is supposed to fix). The machine's excessive (for 32-bit) amount of physical RAM (64GB) might also be a factor here considering the PAE kernel works on all the other machines around here without reverting this patch. The patch is reverted only on 32-bit. Upstream report still pending.

*	Sun Dec 25 23:21:25 UTC 2022...Hey folks, Merry Christmas and Hanukkah Sameach! Figured it was about time to get some kind of kernel activity going again, but it most definitely belongs in /testing for now. I've been trying to shape this up for weeks, but there are still issues, and maybe someone out there can help. The biggest problem is that the 32-bit kernels crash on boot. Initially there's some sort of Intel ME failure (this is on a Thinkpad X1E). If those modules are blacklisted, then the kernel will go on to crash loading the snd_hda_intel module. The other issue is that I've got a 4K panel in this machine, and have always appended the kernel option video=1920x1080@60 to put the console in HD instead, and then loaded a Terminus console font to make the text even larger. With these kernels, that option is completely ignored. I've tried some other syntax I've seen online to no avail. And when the Terminus font is loaded the text gets even smaller for some reason. So be careful of these kernels (especially the 32-bit ones), but I welcome any hints about what's going on here or if there are config changes that might get this working properly. Is anyone out there running a 6.x kernel on bare metal 32-bit x86? Cheers! ap/vim-9.0.1091-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/meson-1.0.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. d/ruby-3.2.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
