Importance: Undecided
Status: New

** Description changed:

At September 2013, after more than 2 years since 4.20, 5.01 is finally
out and the development of Memtest86+ is now fully resumed.

- Please merge memtest86+ 5.01-2 release from Debian - memtest86 4.2.0 in
- Ubuntu 15.04 beta is 4 years old and doesn't support lots of current
- hardware :(
+ Please backport memtest86+ 5.01-3ubuntu1 from Ubuntu 15.10 Wily to 14.04
+ LTS - memtest86+ is 4 years old in 14.04 LTS and doesn't support lots of
+ current hardware :(

Bellow is debian/changelog entry:
+
+ memtest86+ (5.01-3ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium
+ * Merge with Debian; remaining changes:
+ - Only run update-grub in the postrm on remove/purge.
+ - Drop the multiboot image from the GRUB menu for now, since it's
+ experimental and has known problems detecting all memory on some
+ systems at the moment.
+ - Do not update grub configuration, if running in container, or
+ update-grub not present, or grub config has not been previously
+ generated.
+ - Support localization of GRUB menu entries.
+ - Don't present the GRUB menu option on EFI systems, since it won't work.
+ -- Matthias Klose <***@ubuntu.com> Thu, 27 Aug 2015 14:44:32 +0200
+
+ memtest86+ (5.01-3) unstable; urgency=medium
+ * Build with -fgnu89-inline for GCC 5 (Matthias Klose, Closes: #778001)
+ -- Yann Dirson <***@debian.org> Thu, 25 Jun 2015 19:14:21 +0200

memtest86+ (5.01-2) unstable; urgency=medium
  * Build -O0 to workaround what is apparently a gcc 4.9 optimisation bug,
    and use "static" the __in and __out macros to allow compilation to
    proceed under this condition (as done in other distros, including
    Mageia, closes: #753627): memtest86+-5.01-O0.patch.
  * Fix PCI bus scanning on Nehalem architectures (patch from the Mageia
    package): memtest86+-5.01-array-size.patch.
  * Bumped Standards-Version to 3.9.5, no change.
 -- Yann Dirson <***@debian.org> Wed, 10 Sep 2014 21:58:11 +0200

memtest86+ (5.01-1) unstable; urgency=medium
  * Switch to source format 3.0 (quilt).
  * New upstream release (Closes: #727638).
    * Drop makeiso.sh fix for genisoimage, integrated upstream.
    * Refresh multiboot patch, but do not include additional fix for
      #568176 yet (needs more work).
    * Call build target explicitely, since the default target now attempts
      an scp.
  * Include chineses translations for package descriptions (Anthony Wong
    <***@gmail.com>, Closes: #741432)
  * Only run update-grub in the postrm on remove/purge (Luke Faraone /
    Ubuntu, Closes: #587340)
  * Remove leading ./ in lintian-override paths so they get recognized again.
 -- Yann Dirson <***@debian.org> Sat, 28 Jun 2014 17:02:10 +0200

memtest86+ 5.01-3ubuntu1 has been merged and is available in Ubuntu
Wily, thus I believe this can be marked as Fix Released.

Thanks for adding the trusty-backports task, might be possible to make
it available for 14.04 as well.

Forget it. MemTest86_v5 is not GPL, the last one was 4.3.6.

Patch fixes non-working binary with later GCC versions.

I have been working on this problem for a while. Disabling the inline-
functions called-once optimization fixes the problem.

I also ran the static analyzer Cppcheck, and solved an array out-of-
bounds bug, and an incorrect pointer bug.

Hi,

thanks for the patch, I will apply it with one minor change. I have already used:
- for(i = 0; i < sizeof(possible_nhm_bus); i++) {
+ for(i = 0; i < sizeof(possible_nhm_bus) / sizeof(possible_nhm_bus[0]); i++) {

I will keep it, because it is more generic solution than the hardcoded
number of iterations.

Could you provide more information about the -fno-inline-functions-
called-once. What it fixes and why?

I like the more generic way of getting the size of an array in C. I've
never seen this technique before, and I'll have to look into it.


About the -fno-inline-functions-called-once optimization:

I do not understand what it fixes or why. I will do more research into
the problem and report back what I discover.


This patch is part of my larger effort of improve Memtest86+'s SMP mode.
It always locks up hard on my Intel Core 2 Quad machine when in SMP.
Once I find the deadlock issue my goal will be to improveimprove SMP
performance.

Here is my project page: github.com/oraac/memtest86--SMP

If anyone here want's to help I'd be happy to get you a SSH key for
commit access.

Thanks.

I probably haven't encountered this problem, because I am using -O0
instead of -O1, i.e. no inlining at all. I will also keep this as is, it
may resolve other hidden problems.
