Backport packages for 16.04.4 HWE stack

[Timo Aaltonen]

[Impact]

*** hwe-16.04 refresh for 16.04.4 ***

A minor update, only some driver updates plus a newer Mesa.

Mesa needs llvm-toolchain-5.0 and libclc, libdrm, wayland-protocols updates.

[Test case]

upgrade from/to stock & old hwe stack, test desktop usage

[Regression potential]

libdrm:
Slim to none, changes from 2.4.76 to 2.4.83
- amdgpu: pci-id handling moved here, new pci-ids, bugfixes, tests
- intel: new pci-ids
- drm: leak fixes, manpage updates
- exynos, etnaviv, freedreno, android: fixes, new stuff

wayland-protocols:
None, just adds a few protocol definitions (xml files)

llvm-toolchain-5.0:
None, a new package

libclc:
I'd say none, very little has changed, added support for llvm-5 is the main reason for this slightly newer snapshot

xorg-server:
Slim, it's an upstream bugfix release, changes from 1.19.3 to 1.19.5 include:
- security fixes
- backported bugfixes to glamor, modesetting driver, xwayland etc

mesa:
New major release plus a few bugfix updates after that. Regressions at this point are less likely. Upstream is tested by Intel CI system for instance. And we're already testing it via a ppa on OEM systems for 16.04.4. Tracking bug for the bugfix release (xenial & artful) is bug 1727390

[Other information]

build order: [libdrm, wayland-protocols, llvm-toolchain-5.0], [libclc, xorg-server], mesa

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

The regression potential here is insufficient, additionally the version of libclc in xenial would be greater than the one in artful so it not blowing up there doesn't seem relevant.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

After cleaning up the bug description please also upload newer versions of libclc to Zesty and Artful.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

looks like libclc -4 was used by mistake, the only diff to -3 was upload to sid.. I'll reupload a proper version. But I don't think zesty should be a concern, we don't upload mesa backports to interim releases, because usually by the time the backport hits xenial the interim release is EOL.

I'll edit the description to match what it was for 16.04.3

RE: llvm-toolchain-5.0
Works fine here in 16.04.x, no issues, would be great to see it leave proposed asap.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

This set of packages work fine on Intel Coffee Lake, Broadwell and Skylake, and Radeon R7 260X.

There are a couple of minor driver updates to backport, but those can be added separately and shouldn't block these updates, which enable Coffee Lake and bring bugfixes via Mesa.

[Pranav Sharma (sudopluto-deactivatedaccount)]

This update fixes a bug that was in the last xorg update: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php/72149-Mouse-artifact-introduced-in-7-26-update - I think the promotion of this to stable will be very helpful for kde neon. Tested on my laptop, the bug is gone.

[Pranav Sharma (sudopluto-deactivatedaccount)]

Sorry about this silly question, but will this update be shipped in February? If it isn't tied to the HWE release schedule and can be released earlier, is there any way I can help test?

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

16.04.4 images will ship with this stack, but they can be pushed to -updates earlier.

If you have a radeon capable of running vulkan apps, please verify this on xenial:
