*** collab-meetbot` changes topic to "AI review (Meeting topic: CIP IRC weekly meeting)"12:02
jki1. create kernelci pipeline for buster images (arisut)12:02
jkiarisut: your isar-cip-core patch is related, I assume12:03
jkiso, still ongoing, right?12:04
arisuti sended a mail to isar-cip for a patch fir adding buster, bookworm and bullseye12:04
arisutAny prospect on merging time? Or questions?12:04
jkiI'm still wondering about the number of jobs we spawn, and if that is needed for every CI run12:05
jkispecifically as we seem to hit some wall at git.kernel.org around fetching tarballs12:05
jkibut let's follow up on the mailing list on that, ok?12:06
arisutYeah i see that, we cannot mirror it anymore?12:06
jkiwe had issues with github - or was it gitlab? - in the past as well12:07
jkisee commit 73f779e067b75a7fbb09bdcf6f8744b41b3c180212:08
arisutOk12:08
jki"gitlab.com turned out to be too unreliable for fetching on-the-fly generated kernel tarballs in CI. Let's hope kernel.org will do better." - well...12:08
arisutOther than that looks ok?12:08
jkibut even with that solved, the number of jobs also affects our AWS bill12:09
jkiand I would like to manage that according to our actual needs, that's why I was challenging the expansion12:09
arisutBut still isar-cip images need to be tested with the respective linux-cip kernel12:10
jkisure, then may drop some other jobs we no longer need after adding your new ones?12:10
arisutAs we decided same as Debian is doing12:10
jkiagain, let's resume the ML discussion thread, I can follow up after this meeting12:11
arisutBuster with 4.19.y-cip bullseye with 5.10.y-cip and bookworm with 6.1.y-cip12:11
arisutOk12:11
jki2. draft press release about 6.1-cip (jan)12:11
arisutAlso one question I couldn't understand it, sorry12:12
jkiI started to write, will hopefully send something to the members list later12:12
jkiyes? do you have one more question?12:12
arisutOne question you asked in the ML, i replayed to that that I couldn't understand12:13
jkiok, will check that again12:13
arisutThanks12:13
jkithen let's move on12:14
jki#topic Kernel maintenance updates12:14
*** collab-meetbot` changes topic to "Kernel maintenance updates (Meeting topic: CIP IRC weekly meeting)"12:14
jki[uli] "reviewing 6.1.45"12:14
masamiThis week reported 2 new CVEs and 19 updated CVEs.12:14
pave1I did reviews, 6.1.44 and renesas patches.12:14
masamito all: thank you for answering to Dinesh-san's email.12:15
pave1Speaking about security...12:15
pave1I don't believe CVEs are too useful for us.12:16
pave1Not everything security related has a CVE, and not nearly all CVEs are security problems that affects us.12:16
pave1I wonder if we could push security team to watch CVEs, and talk to us if there's something that we really need to care about?12:17
pave1I guess they already have to watc the CVEs for everything non-kernel...?12:17
jkito my understanding, the security team is not yet in execution mode, rather in gap analysis and process definition mode12:18
jkithere will likely be more todos as outcomes of their analysis and assessor discussions12:18
pave1May be true.12:18
masamiI heard from security team creating a script to watch CVEs for packages12:18
jki...and pull from Debian DB?12:19
jkiall that is done by Debian already12:19
jkifor their packages, not for our own ones, including the CIP kernel12:19
masamiyes. it may get CVE information from debian.12:19
pave1But should we push the process in that direction? Security team watches for security bugs, if we have a security bug they don't like, they talk to us?12:20
masamiand cip-kernel-sec12:20
pave1And we keep the cip-kernel-sec mostly up-to-date, so they can see our status.12:20
jkibut we need to look at patches ourselves anyway12:21
pave1Yes, we do.12:21
jkiif some happen to relate to CVEs does not really matter12:21
pave1But the patches we see may or may not have CVE annotation.12:21
jkiright12:21
jkithat must be clear in the process documentation that the kernel team is not CVE-driven12:22
pave1Right.12:22
jkiCVEs are by-products12:22
jkino difference to mainline here12:22
pave1Reading CVEs needs special skills. I assume security team has them, and I'd like them to watch the CVE stream for "this needs fixing for CIP" bugs.12:23
jkiwhich should generally result in, "yes, we already know"12:24
jkiconcretely: how is the situation beyond 6.1 for recent Downfalls & Co.?12:24
jkiare there / will there be backports to older kernels?12:25
pave1Yes. But that means we don't need to go through CVE feeds and don't need to have processes for that :-).12:25
jkiok, getting that - did we ever spot information in CVEs that weren't already in the stable patch stream?12:26
pave16.1.44 has patches for "Gather Data Sampling" and they were queued for 4.14 and up.12:27
pave16.1.44 has patches for "Speculative RAS Overflo\12:28
pave1w mitigation" and they are for 5.10 and up.12:28
pave1jki: Not really. We get the information from stable, not CVEs. Not that we are watching CVEs too closely.12:28
pave1"Gather Data Sampling" is the Intel problem12:29
pave1"Speculative RAS Overflow" is the AMD problem, AFAICT.12:29
jkiwell, masami is reporting here every week - are you reading up details of the CVEs as well?12:30
masamiyes. if nvd or other source have vulneratiblity details I read it.12:31
pave1I try to go through his emails, yes. (Still need to go through today's one). If something looks interesting, I sometimes do investigate, but that may happen once in two months or so.12:32
jkithen, would that time elsewhere be invested with even better efficiency?12:32
jkiand where?12:32
jkiasking openly12:32
pave1I'm quite happy how it currently works. But I'd hate to have to specify formal rules for CVE investigation.12:34
jkiwell, we have to describe how we work so that others can understand it without having to do it themselves12:35
jkidoesn't mean that we are bound to only work like that - to my understanding12:35
jkii think this is something to discuss, not only with the security team, but they also need to present it to the assessors12:37
pave1My preffered solution would be "security team looks at CVEs". (And we make some informal effort to "already know" if something obvious pops up).12:38
jkithen follow up on Dinesh email on that point so that also other can see and comment12:39
jkiincluding kernel team members on leave right now12:40
jkiok, anything else on this topic?12:40

sietzeI realized to get some tests sent to our SQUAD staging instance12:47
jki212:47
jkiah, cool!12:47
sietzeNote sure if anybody is interested in that; this is how it currently looks like: http://squad.ciplatform.org:8000/cip-kernel/linux-cip/build/6.1.38-cip1_093191f30/12:47
sietzeWe're still testing though and we still need to get https going12:48
jkiwhat will be the key benefits in the end when everything works?12:48
jkisingle page summary? those compare features?12:49
sietzeYes, better test overview, test results vs time, abilitiy to include other tests than kernel tests12:50
jkiok, great12:50
jkiok - anything else?12:51

jki#topic AOB12:52
*** collab-meetbot` changes topic to "AOB (Meeting topic: CIP IRC weekly meeting)"12:52
jkiquestion: do you have options to host your cip releases as tarballs somewhere?12:52
jkiwould that be useful beyond the CI case?12:53
jkiok, will try to ask that also on the mailing list as follow up12:54
jkiother topic: I'm off next week, who can take over?12:55
pave1I can take over, I guess.12:55
