Re: [PATCH] pciutils: Update to version 3.7.0

Hi Peter,

One difference is that I changed from the .gz file to the .xz file

However I had also downloaded from the https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/utils/pciutils/ site This has both .gz and .xz files.

I just now checked the md5sum from the .gz from this location and it is still different from the one you quoted.

You downloaded from the https://mj.ucw.cz/download/linux/pci/ site. This only has a .gz file and doing an md5sum on that file I get the same as you.

So there is a difference in the md5sum for the supposedly same file stored on the mj.ucw.cz location compared to the www.kernel.org location.

The reason I used the www.kernel.org location is that they have a whole range of packages on their location covering various core stuff and seem to be a common location for that sort of stuff. Many packages only get stored on www.kernel.org (or its mirrors). I think this is the first that I have found having a local copy as well.

It will be interesting to hear what you find out for the reason for the difference.

Just checked and Arch Linux used to download the source from the www.kernel.org location but that source line is now commented out and the mj.ucw.cz location is now being used in their PKGBUILD.

Regards, Adolf.

Hello Adolf,

I regret to inform you that I worked on the same thing.

Comparing both patches (see https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=commit;h=34a98832ee5ec33ef75f4732... for mine), the MD5 checksum differs: Yours is e6e20482b4f25c5186e6a753c5edc361, while mine is 51554c538b5a57b61123326e14ea28a1.

I will investigate into this and report back later.

Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller

• Update from 3.5.6 (2017) to 3.7.0 (2020)
• Update of rootfile
• Changelog 2020-05-31 Martin Mares mj@ucw.cz
  • Released as 3.7.0.
  • Added or improved the following capabilities: Designated Vendor-Specific, Compute eXpress Link, Resizable BARs, VF Resizable BARs, Link Capabilities 2, Link Status 2.
  • On Linux, lspci can show IOMMU groups.
  • setpci can be asked to skip bus scan and operate on a device completely specified by its domain/bus/dev/func address. This involved major internal cleanup.
  • The above feature of setpci uses the pci_get_dev() function, which obtains a struct pci_dev without doing a bus scan. This was always possible, but apparently little used, because back-ends frequently choked when operating on such devices. Fixed a lot of minor bugs related to this.
  • Also, back-ends which do not support domains now correctly fail when trying to access devices outside domain 0.
  • Semantics of pci_fill_info() and pci_dev->known_fields was underspecified, which lead to inconsistencies between back-ends. Improved documentation to give a more precise definition and updated all back-ends to conform to it. Most importantly, pci_dev->known_fields shows all fields requested over the lifetime of the pci_dev, but never those which are not supported by the back-end.
  • As usually, updated pci.ids to the current snapshot of the database. 2020-01-25 Martin Mares mj@ucw.cz
    • Released as 3.6.4.
  • A new back-end for the GNU Hurd was contributed by Joan Lledó.
  • When printing VPD item identifiers, non-ASCII characters are escaped. 2020-01-22 Martin Mares mj@ucw.cz
    • Released as 3.6.3.
  • `lspci -t' (tree mode) can be combined with `-s' to show a sub-tree. We also fixed potential buffer overflows in the tree dumper.
  • Cleaned messy code for dumping of I/O, memory, and ROM regions. This helped fixing a bug, which caused some 64-bit regions to be reported as virtual. All flags are now printed after the address (previously, "[virtual]" and "[enhanced]" were before it for no good reason).
  • Added pci_find_cap_nr() to the library, which handles capabilities which occur multiple times in a single device.
  • Minor improvements in printing of PCIe capabilities.
  • We now decode the Multicast and Secondary PCI Express extended capabilities.
  • The list of capability names available to setpci was updated.
  • Minor bugs were fixed in FreeBSD and Solaris ports.
  • We now prefer HTTPS URLs in all documentation
  • The pci.ids file has a man page.
  • As usually, updated pci.ids to the current snapshot of the database. 2018-08-12 Martin Mares mj@ucw.cz
    • Released as 3.6.2.
  • Added "-P" and "-PP" switches to lspci, which display the path through bridges to each device.
  • Fixed a couple of bugs in computation of bus topology. It was previously used only for the tree display, but we re-use it for computing the paths.
  • As usually, updated pci.ids to the current snapshot of the database. 2018-07-12 Martin Mares mj@ucw.cz
    • Released as 3.6.1.
  • Fixed compilation issues on Linux systems with MUSL libc. 2018-06-30 Martin Mares mj@ucw.cz
    • Released as 3.6.0.
  • BARs reported by the OS, but not set on the device itself are reliably marked with "[virtual]".
  • Library: Introduced a generic mechanism of string properties. This avoids lots of special cases and makes ABI compatibility easier.
  • On Linux systems with OpenFirmware, report corresponding device tree nodes as device properties.
  • VPD decoder knows several non-standard extensions.
  • When PCIe link speed is less than the maximum supported by the device, it is explicitly marked as "downgraded".
  • Several new capabilities are not decoded yet, but at least their names are printed.
  • The Null capability is easily decoded.
  • Formatting of several capabilities was cleaned up.
  • The VGA16 bit in the bridge control register is now supported.
  • Added a port to SylixOS. Thanks to YuJian Gong for contribution.
  • Added a port to DOS/DJGPP. Thanks to Rudolf Marek for contribution.
  • The order in which back-ends are probed was decoupled from the internal back-end IDs. This helps, because new back-ends must have their ID allocated at the end to keep the ABI, but they might need to be probed earlier.
  • The fbsd-device back-end should work again.
  • Fixed a couple of bugs. Most notably, DeviceName was not printed.
  • As usually, updated pci.ids to the current snapshot of the database.
