  9This document is designed to provide a list of the minimum levels of
 10software necessary to run the 4.x kernels.
 11
 12This document is originally based on my "Changes" file for 2.0.x kernels
 13and therefore owes credit to the same people as that file (Jared Mauch,
 14Axel Boldt, Alessandro Sigala, and countless other users all over the
 15'net).

 19
 20Upgrade to at **least** these software revisions before thinking you've
 21encountered a bug!  If you're unsure what version you're currently
 22running, the suggested command should tell you.
 23
 24Again, keep in mind that this list assumes you are already functionally
 25running a Linux kernel.  Also, not all tools are necessary on all
 26systems; obviously, if you don't have any PC Card hardware, for example,
 27you probably needn't concern yourself with pcmciautils.

 62Kernel compilation
 63******************
 64
 65GCC
 66---
 67
 68The gcc version requirements may vary depending on the type of CPU in your
 69computer.
 70
 71Make
 72----
 73
 74You will need GNU make 3.81 or later to build the kernel.
 75
 76Binutils
 77--------
 78
 79Binutils 2.21 or newer is needed to build the kernel.
 80
 81pkg-config
 82----------
 83
 84The build system, as of 4.18, requires pkg-config to check for installed
 85kconfig tools and to determine flags settings for use in
 86'make {g,x}config'.  Previously pkg-config was being used but not
 87verified or documented.
 88
 89Flex
 90----
 91
 92Since Linux 4.16, the build system generates lexical analyzers
 93during build.  This requires flex 2.5.35 or later.
 94
 95
 96Bison
 97-----
 98
 99Since Linux 4.16, the build system generates parsers
100during build.  This requires bison 2.0 or later.
101
102Perl
103----
104
105You will need perl 5 and the following modules: ``Getopt::Long``,
106``Getopt::Std``, ``File::Basename``, and ``File::Find`` to build the kernel.
107
108BC
109--
110
111You will need bc to build kernels 3.10 and higher
112
113
114OpenSSL
115-------
116
117Module signing and external certificate handling use the OpenSSL program and
118crypto library to do key creation and signature generation.
119
120You will need openssl to build kernels 3.7 and higher if module signing is
121enabled.  You will also need openssl development packages to build kernels 4.3
122and higher.
123
124
125System utilities
126****************
127
128Architectural changes
129---------------------
130
131DevFS has been obsoleted in favour of udev
132(http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/)
133
13432-bit UID support is now in place.  Have fun!
135
136Linux documentation for functions is transitioning to inline
137documentation via specially-formatted comments near their
138definitions in the source.  These comments can be combined with ReST
139files the Documentation/ directory to make enriched documentation, which can
140then be converted to PostScript, HTML, LaTex, ePUB and PDF files.
141In order to convert from ReST format to a format of your choice, you'll need
142Sphinx.
143
144Util-linux
145----------
146
147New versions of util-linux provide ``fdisk`` support for larger disks,
148support new options to mount, recognize more supported partition
149types, have a fdformat which works with 2.4 kernels, and similar goodies.
150You'll probably want to upgrade.
151
152Ksymoops
153--------
154
155If the unthinkable happens and your kernel oopses, you may need the
156ksymoops tool to decode it, but in most cases you don't.
157It is generally preferred to build the kernel with ``CONFIG_KALLSYMS`` so
158that it produces readable dumps that can be used as-is (this also
159produces better output than ksymoops).  If for some reason your kernel
160is not build with ``CONFIG_KALLSYMS`` and you have no way to rebuild and
161reproduce the Oops with that option, then you can still decode that Oops
162with ksymoops.
163
 
 
 
 
 
 
164Mkinitrd
165--------
166
167These changes to the ``/lib/modules`` file tree layout also require that
168mkinitrd be upgraded.
169
170E2fsprogs
171---------
172
173The latest version of ``e2fsprogs`` fixes several bugs in fsck and
174debugfs.  Obviously, it's a good idea to upgrade.
175
176JFSutils
177--------
178
179The ``jfsutils`` package contains the utilities for the file system.
180The following utilities are available:
181
182- ``fsck.jfs`` - initiate replay of the transaction log, and check
183  and repair a JFS formatted partition.
184
185- ``mkfs.jfs`` - create a JFS formatted partition.
186
187- other file system utilities are also available in this package.
188
189Reiserfsprogs
190-------------
191
192The reiserfsprogs package should be used for reiserfs-3.6.x
193(Linux kernels 2.4.x). It is a combined package and contains working
194versions of ``mkreiserfs``, ``resize_reiserfs``, ``debugreiserfs`` and
195``reiserfsck``. These utils work on both i386 and alpha platforms.
196
197Xfsprogs
198--------
199
200The latest version of ``xfsprogs`` contains ``mkfs.xfs``, ``xfs_db``, and the
201``xfs_repair`` utilities, among others, for the XFS filesystem.  It is
202architecture independent and any version from 2.0.0 onward should
203work correctly with this version of the XFS kernel code (2.6.0 or
204later is recommended, due to some significant improvements).
205
206PCMCIAutils
207-----------
208
209PCMCIAutils replaces ``pcmcia-cs``. It properly sets up
210PCMCIA sockets at system startup and loads the appropriate modules
211for 16-bit PCMCIA devices if the kernel is modularized and the hotplug
212subsystem is used.
213
214Quota-tools
215-----------
216
217Support for 32 bit uid's and gid's is required if you want to use
218the newer version 2 quota format.  Quota-tools version 3.07 and
219newer has this support.  Use the recommended version or newer
220from the table above.
221
222Intel IA32 microcode
223--------------------
224
225A driver has been added to allow updating of Intel IA32 microcode,
226accessible as a normal (misc) character device.  If you are not using
227udev you may need to::
228
229  mkdir /dev/cpu
230  mknod /dev/cpu/microcode c 10 184
231  chmod 0644 /dev/cpu/microcode
232
233as root before you can use this.  You'll probably also want to
234get the user-space microcode_ctl utility to use with this.
235
236udev
237----
238
239``udev`` is a userspace application for populating ``/dev`` dynamically with
240only entries for devices actually present. ``udev`` replaces the basic
241functionality of devfs, while allowing persistent device naming for
242devices.
243
244FUSE
245----
246
247Needs libfuse 2.4.0 or later.  Absolute minimum is 2.3.0 but mount
248options ``direct_io`` and ``kernel_cache`` won't work.
249
250Networking
251**********
252
253General changes
254---------------
255
256If you have advanced network configuration needs, you should probably
257consider using the network tools from ip-route2.
258
259Packet Filter / NAT
260-------------------
261The packet filtering and NAT code uses the same tools like the previous 2.4.x
262kernel series (iptables).  It still includes backwards-compatibility modules
263for 2.2.x-style ipchains and 2.0.x-style ipfwadm.
264
265PPP
266---
267
268The PPP driver has been restructured to support multilink and to
269enable it to operate over diverse media layers.  If you use PPP,
270upgrade pppd to at least 2.4.0.
271
272If you are not using udev, you must have the device file /dev/ppp
273which can be made by::
274
275  mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0
276
277as root.
278
 
 
 
 
 
 
279NFS-utils
280---------
281
282In ancient (2.4 and earlier) kernels, the nfs server needed to know
283about any client that expected to be able to access files via NFS.  This
284information would be given to the kernel by ``mountd`` when the client
285mounted the filesystem, or by ``exportfs`` at system startup.  exportfs
286would take information about active clients from ``/var/lib/nfs/rmtab``.
287
288This approach is quite fragile as it depends on rmtab being correct
289which is not always easy, particularly when trying to implement
290fail-over.  Even when the system is working well, ``rmtab`` suffers from
291getting lots of old entries that never get removed.
292
293With modern kernels we have the option of having the kernel tell mountd
294when it gets a request from an unknown host, and mountd can give
295appropriate export information to the kernel.  This removes the
296dependency on ``rmtab`` and means that the kernel only needs to know about
297currently active clients.
298
299To enable this new functionality, you need to::
300
301  mount -t nfsd nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd
302
303before running exportfs or mountd.  It is recommended that all NFS
304services be protected from the internet-at-large by a firewall where
305that is possible.
306
307mcelog
308------
309
310On x86 kernels the mcelog utility is needed to process and log machine check
311events when ``CONFIG_X86_MCE`` is enabled. Machine check events are errors
312reported by the CPU. Processing them is strongly encouraged.

 80The build system has, as of 4.13, switched to using thin archives (`ar T`)
 81rather than incremental linking (`ld -r`) for built-in.a intermediate steps.
 82This requires binutils 2.20 or newer.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 83
 84Flex
 85----
 86
 87Since Linux 4.16, the build system generates lexical analyzers
 88during build.  This requires flex 2.5.35 or later.
 89
 90
 91Bison
 92-----
 93
 94Since Linux 4.16, the build system generates parsers
 95during build.  This requires bison 2.0 or later.
 96
 97Perl
 98----
 99
100You will need perl 5 and the following modules: ``Getopt::Long``,
101``Getopt::Std``, ``File::Basename``, and ``File::Find`` to build the kernel.
102
103BC
104--
105
106You will need bc to build kernels 3.10 and higher
107
108
109OpenSSL
110-------
111
112Module signing and external certificate handling use the OpenSSL program and
113crypto library to do key creation and signature generation.
114
115You will need openssl to build kernels 3.7 and higher if module signing is
116enabled.  You will also need openssl development packages to build kernels 4.3
117and higher.
118

120System utilities
121****************
122
123Architectural changes
124---------------------
125
126DevFS has been obsoleted in favour of udev
127(http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/)
128
12932-bit UID support is now in place.  Have fun!
130
131Linux documentation for functions is transitioning to inline
132documentation via specially-formatted comments near their
133definitions in the source.  These comments can be combined with ReST
134files the Documentation/ directory to make enriched documentation, which can
135then be converted to PostScript, HTML, LaTex, ePUB and PDF files.
136In order to convert from ReST format to a format of your choice, you'll need
137Sphinx.
138
139Util-linux
140----------
141
142New versions of util-linux provide ``fdisk`` support for larger disks,
143support new options to mount, recognize more supported partition
144types, have a fdformat which works with 2.4 kernels, and similar goodies.
145You'll probably want to upgrade.
146
147Ksymoops
148--------
149
150If the unthinkable happens and your kernel oopses, you may need the
151ksymoops tool to decode it, but in most cases you don't.
152It is generally preferred to build the kernel with ``CONFIG_KALLSYMS`` so
153that it produces readable dumps that can be used as-is (this also
154produces better output than ksymoops).  If for some reason your kernel
155is not build with ``CONFIG_KALLSYMS`` and you have no way to rebuild and
156reproduce the Oops with that option, then you can still decode that Oops
157with ksymoops.
158
159Module-Init-Tools
160-----------------
161
162A new module loader is now in the kernel that requires ``module-init-tools``
163to use.  It is backward compatible with the 2.4.x series kernels.
164
165Mkinitrd
166--------
167
168These changes to the ``/lib/modules`` file tree layout also require that
169mkinitrd be upgraded.
170
171E2fsprogs
172---------
173
174The latest version of ``e2fsprogs`` fixes several bugs in fsck and
175debugfs.  Obviously, it's a good idea to upgrade.
176
177JFSutils
178--------
179
180The ``jfsutils`` package contains the utilities for the file system.
181The following utilities are available:
182
183- ``fsck.jfs`` - initiate replay of the transaction log, and check
184  and repair a JFS formatted partition.
185
186- ``mkfs.jfs`` - create a JFS formatted partition.
187
188- other file system utilities are also available in this package.
189
190Reiserfsprogs
191-------------
192
193The reiserfsprogs package should be used for reiserfs-3.6.x
194(Linux kernels 2.4.x). It is a combined package and contains working
195versions of ``mkreiserfs``, ``resize_reiserfs``, ``debugreiserfs`` and
196``reiserfsck``. These utils work on both i386 and alpha platforms.
197
198Xfsprogs
199--------
200
201The latest version of ``xfsprogs`` contains ``mkfs.xfs``, ``xfs_db``, and the
202``xfs_repair`` utilities, among others, for the XFS filesystem.  It is
203architecture independent and any version from 2.0.0 onward should
204work correctly with this version of the XFS kernel code (2.6.0 or
205later is recommended, due to some significant improvements).
206
207PCMCIAutils
208-----------
209
210PCMCIAutils replaces ``pcmcia-cs``. It properly sets up
211PCMCIA sockets at system startup and loads the appropriate modules
212for 16-bit PCMCIA devices if the kernel is modularized and the hotplug
213subsystem is used.
214
215Quota-tools
216-----------
217
218Support for 32 bit uid's and gid's is required if you want to use
219the newer version 2 quota format.  Quota-tools version 3.07 and
220newer has this support.  Use the recommended version or newer
221from the table above.
222
223Intel IA32 microcode
224--------------------
225
226A driver has been added to allow updating of Intel IA32 microcode,
227accessible as a normal (misc) character device.  If you are not using
228udev you may need to::
229
230  mkdir /dev/cpu
231  mknod /dev/cpu/microcode c 10 184
232  chmod 0644 /dev/cpu/microcode
233
234as root before you can use this.  You'll probably also want to
235get the user-space microcode_ctl utility to use with this.
236
237udev
238----
239
240``udev`` is a userspace application for populating ``/dev`` dynamically with
241only entries for devices actually present. ``udev`` replaces the basic
242functionality of devfs, while allowing persistent device naming for
243devices.
244
245FUSE
246----
247
248Needs libfuse 2.4.0 or later.  Absolute minimum is 2.3.0 but mount
249options ``direct_io`` and ``kernel_cache`` won't work.
250
251Networking
252**********
253
254General changes
255---------------
256
257If you have advanced network configuration needs, you should probably
258consider using the network tools from ip-route2.
259
260Packet Filter / NAT
261-------------------
262The packet filtering and NAT code uses the same tools like the previous 2.4.x
263kernel series (iptables).  It still includes backwards-compatibility modules
264for 2.2.x-style ipchains and 2.0.x-style ipfwadm.
265
266PPP
267---
268
269The PPP driver has been restructured to support multilink and to
270enable it to operate over diverse media layers.  If you use PPP,
271upgrade pppd to at least 2.4.0.
272
273If you are not using udev, you must have the device file /dev/ppp
274which can be made by::
275
276  mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0
277
278as root.
279
280Isdn4k-utils
281------------
282
283Due to changes in the length of the phone number field, isdn4k-utils
284needs to be recompiled or (preferably) upgraded.
285
286NFS-utils
287---------
288
289In ancient (2.4 and earlier) kernels, the nfs server needed to know
290about any client that expected to be able to access files via NFS.  This
291information would be given to the kernel by ``mountd`` when the client
292mounted the filesystem, or by ``exportfs`` at system startup.  exportfs
293would take information about active clients from ``/var/lib/nfs/rmtab``.
294
295This approach is quite fragile as it depends on rmtab being correct
296which is not always easy, particularly when trying to implement
297fail-over.  Even when the system is working well, ``rmtab`` suffers from
298getting lots of old entries that never get removed.
299
300With modern kernels we have the option of having the kernel tell mountd
301when it gets a request from an unknown host, and mountd can give
302appropriate export information to the kernel.  This removes the
303dependency on ``rmtab`` and means that the kernel only needs to know about
304currently active clients.
305
306To enable this new functionality, you need to::
307
308  mount -t nfsd nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd
309
310before running exportfs or mountd.  It is recommended that all NFS
311services be protected from the internet-at-large by a firewall where
312that is possible.
313
314mcelog
315------
316
317On x86 kernels the mcelog utility is needed to process and log machine check
318events when ``CONFIG_X86_MCE`` is enabled. Machine check events are errors
319reported by the CPU. Processing them is strongly encouraged.
