Bisecting would work as follows:
- Cloning the upstream source:
git clone
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
cd linux
git checkout v6.11
- Reusing the Debian configuration and disable all modules not in use:
cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config
make localmodconfig
cp .config arch/x86/configs/my_defconfig
- Building a kernel package:
make -j10 my_defconfig bindeb-pkg
The last step creates a kernel package. Install it and test if the issue
occurs. For 6.11 I would expect this to work (but in general it's good
to make sure one's assumptions are good, so please don't skip that
test).
Then do
git checkout v6.12
make -j10 my_defconfig bindeb-pkg
which creates another kernel package. Test this in the same way.
If this shows the problems you're set for a bisection:
- Start the bisection:
git bisect start v6.12 v6.11
- Build and test the version that git suggested:
make -j10 my_defconfig bindeb-pkg
... install + boot
- Depending on the outcome of your test do either
git bisect good
(if the tested kernel package doesn't show the problem) or
git bisect bad
and repeat starting at "Build and test the version that git
suggested" until git identfied the first bad commit.
I skipped some steps (like maybe you need to install build dependencies
and how you install the resulting package). Also you probably need to
deinstall the test packages again to not fill your /boot partition (if
you have one). If you still have questions, don't hesitate to ask.
