  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).

 17Current Minimal Requirements
 18****************************
 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.

 73
 74The latest formal release of clang and LLVM utils (according to

 76kernels. Older releases aren't guaranteed to work, and we may drop workarounds
 77from the kernel that were used to support older versions. Please see additional
 78docs on :ref:`Building Linux with Clang/LLVM <kbuild_llvm>`.
 79
 80Make
 81----
 82
 83You will need GNU make 3.81 or later to build the kernel.
 84
 85Binutils
 86--------
 87
 88Binutils 2.23 or newer is needed to build the kernel.
 89
 90pkg-config
 91----------
 92
 93The build system, as of 4.18, requires pkg-config to check for installed
 94kconfig tools and to determine flags settings for use in
 95'make {g,x}config'.  Previously pkg-config was being used but not
 96verified or documented.
 97
 98Flex
 99----
100
101Since Linux 4.16, the build system generates lexical analyzers
102during build.  This requires flex 2.5.35 or later.
103
104
105Bison
106-----
107
108Since Linux 4.16, the build system generates parsers
109during build.  This requires bison 2.0 or later.
110
111Perl
112----
113
114You will need perl 5 and the following modules: ``Getopt::Long``,
115``Getopt::Std``, ``File::Basename``, and ``File::Find`` to build the kernel.
116
117BC
118--
119
120You will need bc to build kernels 3.10 and higher
121
122
123OpenSSL
124-------
125
126Module signing and external certificate handling use the OpenSSL program and
127crypto library to do key creation and signature generation.
128
129You will need openssl to build kernels 3.7 and higher if module signing is
130enabled.  You will also need openssl development packages to build kernels 4.3
131and higher.
132

136
137Architectural changes
138---------------------
139
140DevFS has been obsoleted in favour of udev
141(https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/)
142
14332-bit UID support is now in place.  Have fun!
144
145Linux documentation for functions is transitioning to inline
146documentation via specially-formatted comments near their
147definitions in the source.  These comments can be combined with ReST
148files the Documentation/ directory to make enriched documentation, which can
149then be converted to PostScript, HTML, LaTex, ePUB and PDF files.
150In order to convert from ReST format to a format of your choice, you'll need
151Sphinx.
152
153Util-linux
154----------
155
156New versions of util-linux provide ``fdisk`` support for larger disks,
157support new options to mount, recognize more supported partition
158types, have a fdformat which works with 2.4 kernels, and similar goodies.
159You'll probably want to upgrade.
160
161Ksymoops
162--------
163
164If the unthinkable happens and your kernel oopses, you may need the
165ksymoops tool to decode it, but in most cases you don't.
166It is generally preferred to build the kernel with ``CONFIG_KALLSYMS`` so
167that it produces readable dumps that can be used as-is (this also
168produces better output than ksymoops).  If for some reason your kernel
169is not build with ``CONFIG_KALLSYMS`` and you have no way to rebuild and
170reproduce the Oops with that option, then you can still decode that Oops
171with ksymoops.
172
173Mkinitrd
174--------
175
176These changes to the ``/lib/modules`` file tree layout also require that
177mkinitrd be upgraded.
178
179E2fsprogs
180---------
181
182The latest version of ``e2fsprogs`` fixes several bugs in fsck and
183debugfs.  Obviously, it's a good idea to upgrade.
184
185JFSutils
186--------
187
188The ``jfsutils`` package contains the utilities for the file system.
189The following utilities are available:
190
191- ``fsck.jfs`` - initiate replay of the transaction log, and check
192  and repair a JFS formatted partition.
193
194- ``mkfs.jfs`` - create a JFS formatted partition.
195
196- other file system utilities are also available in this package.
197
198Reiserfsprogs
199-------------
200
201The reiserfsprogs package should be used for reiserfs-3.6.x
202(Linux kernels 2.4.x). It is a combined package and contains working
203versions of ``mkreiserfs``, ``resize_reiserfs``, ``debugreiserfs`` and
204``reiserfsck``. These utils work on both i386 and alpha platforms.
205
206Xfsprogs
207--------
208
209The latest version of ``xfsprogs`` contains ``mkfs.xfs``, ``xfs_db``, and the
210``xfs_repair`` utilities, among others, for the XFS filesystem.  It is
211architecture independent and any version from 2.0.0 onward should
212work correctly with this version of the XFS kernel code (2.6.0 or
213later is recommended, due to some significant improvements).
214
215PCMCIAutils
216-----------
217
218PCMCIAutils replaces ``pcmcia-cs``. It properly sets up
219PCMCIA sockets at system startup and loads the appropriate modules
220for 16-bit PCMCIA devices if the kernel is modularized and the hotplug
221subsystem is used.
222
223Quota-tools
224-----------
225
226Support for 32 bit uid's and gid's is required if you want to use
227the newer version 2 quota format.  Quota-tools version 3.07 and
228newer has this support.  Use the recommended version or newer
229from the table above.
230
231Intel IA32 microcode
232--------------------
233
234A driver has been added to allow updating of Intel IA32 microcode,
235accessible as a normal (misc) character device.  If you are not using
236udev you may need to::
237
238  mkdir /dev/cpu
239  mknod /dev/cpu/microcode c 10 184
240  chmod 0644 /dev/cpu/microcode
241
242as root before you can use this.  You'll probably also want to
243get the user-space microcode_ctl utility to use with this.
244
245udev
246----
247
248``udev`` is a userspace application for populating ``/dev`` dynamically with
249only entries for devices actually present. ``udev`` replaces the basic
250functionality of devfs, while allowing persistent device naming for
251devices.
252
253FUSE
254----
255
256Needs libfuse 2.4.0 or later.  Absolute minimum is 2.3.0 but mount
257options ``direct_io`` and ``kernel_cache`` won't work.
258
259Networking
260**********
261
262General changes
263---------------
264
265If you have advanced network configuration needs, you should probably
266consider using the network tools from ip-route2.
267
268Packet Filter / NAT
269-------------------
270The packet filtering and NAT code uses the same tools like the previous 2.4.x
271kernel series (iptables).  It still includes backwards-compatibility modules
272for 2.2.x-style ipchains and 2.0.x-style ipfwadm.
273
274PPP
275---
276
277The PPP driver has been restructured to support multilink and to
278enable it to operate over diverse media layers.  If you use PPP,
279upgrade pppd to at least 2.4.0.
280
281If you are not using udev, you must have the device file /dev/ppp
282which can be made by::
283
284  mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0
285
286as root.
287
288NFS-utils
289---------
290
291In ancient (2.4 and earlier) kernels, the nfs server needed to know
292about any client that expected to be able to access files via NFS.  This
293information would be given to the kernel by ``mountd`` when the client
294mounted the filesystem, or by ``exportfs`` at system startup.  exportfs
295would take information about active clients from ``/var/lib/nfs/rmtab``.
296
297This approach is quite fragile as it depends on rmtab being correct
298which is not always easy, particularly when trying to implement
299fail-over.  Even when the system is working well, ``rmtab`` suffers from
300getting lots of old entries that never get removed.
301
302With modern kernels we have the option of having the kernel tell mountd
303when it gets a request from an unknown host, and mountd can give
304appropriate export information to the kernel.  This removes the
305dependency on ``rmtab`` and means that the kernel only needs to know about
306currently active clients.
307
308To enable this new functionality, you need to::
309
310  mount -t nfsd nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd
311
312before running exportfs or mountd.  It is recommended that all NFS
313services be protected from the internet-at-large by a firewall where
314that is possible.
315
316mcelog
317------
318
319On x86 kernels the mcelog utility is needed to process and log machine check
320events when ``CONFIG_X86_MCE`` is enabled. Machine check events are errors
321reported by the CPU. Processing them is strongly encouraged.
