Package: udev Version: 0.146-5 Severity: important Upgrading to version 0.146-5 of udev fails. The ‘preinst’ script emits the following error:
=====
Since release 146, udev requires support for the following features in
the running kernel:
- inotify(2) (CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER)
- signalfd(2) (CONFIG_SIGNALFD)
Please upgrade your kernel before or while upgrading udev.
=====
Looking in the package's ‘preinst’ script, I see that this is because
the following code is failing to detect the kernel symbols:
=====
local needed_symbols='sys_inotify_init sys_signalfd'
local missing_symbol=0
for symbol in $needed_symbols; do
if ! egrep -q "^[a-fA-F0-9]+ T ${symbol}$" /proc/kallsyms; then
missing_symbol=1
break
fi
done
=====
The grep regex is failing to match the actual symbols as found in this
machine's symbol table:
=====
$ uname -a
Linux aster 2.6.30-2-powerpc64 #1 SMP Sun Oct 4 09:29:28 UTC 2009 ppc64
GNU/Linux
$ needed_symbols='sys_inotify_init sys_signalfd'
$ for symbol in $needed_symbols; do egrep "^[a-fA-F0-9]+ T ${symbol}$"
/proc/kallsyms; done
$
=====
The symbols *do* appear in the kernel symbol table, but they are named
with a leading period (I don't know why), so the following regex
succeeds in matching the symbols:
=====
$ needed_symbols='sys_inotify_init sys_signalfd'
$ for symbol in $needed_symbols; do egrep "^[a-fA-F0-9]+ T \.${symbol}$"
/proc/kallsyms; done
c000000000170e00 T .sys_inotify_init
c000000000172e84 T .sys_signalfd
$
=====
I would submit a patch for the ‘preinst’ script, but presumably
changing the regex this way would cause it to fail on other machines.
I don't know why it's different or what the correct regex would be to
match on all machines.
