I'd like to locate a kernel regression on ubuntu mainline kernel (from kernel-ppa/mainline - Kernel Ubuntu) between Quantal 3.6.1 and Quantal 3.6.2. I build on Mint 13 Maya (which is based on Ubuntu Precise. I know it is not 100% pure Ubuntu, but I believe that in this case the difference shouldn't influence the relevance of the question in Ask Ubuntu):
For this I tried to follow the Kernel/KernelBisection - Ubuntu Wiki and issued the following commands (3445cb2e52e98dd2413bdc6bcccab475d3871dc1 was the commit returned by git bisect bad):
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-stable
git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/kteam-tools.git
PATH=$PATH:/home/adam/tmp/kteam-tools/mainline-build
cd linux-stable
git remote add quantal git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-quantal.git
git bisect start
git bisect good v3.6.1
git bisect bad v3.6.2
mainline-build-one 3445cb2e52e98dd2413bdc6bcccab475d3871dc1 quantal
The last command returned:

commit 3445cb2e52e98dd2413bdc6bcccab475d3871dc1

mm: fix invalidate_complete_page2() lock ordering
commit ec4d9f626d5908b6052c2973f37992f1db52e967 upstream.
In fuzzing with trinity, lockdep protested "possible irq lock inversion
dependency detected" when isolate_lru_page() reenabled interrupts while
still holding the supposedly irq-safe tree_lock:
invalidate_inode_pages2
invalidate_complete_page2
spin_lock_irq(&mapping->tree_lock)
clear_page_mlock
isolate_lru_page
spin_unlock_irq(&zone->lru_lock)
isolate_lru_page() is correct to enable interrupts unconditionally:
invalidate_complete_page2() is incorrect to call clear_page_mlock() while
holding tree_lock, which is supposed to nest inside lru_lock.
Both truncate_complete_page() and invalidate_complete_page() call
clear_page_mlock() before taking tree_lock to remove page from radix_tree.
I guess invalidate_complete_page2() preferred to test PageDirty (again)
under tree_lock before committing to the munlock; but since the page has
already been unmapped, its state is already somewhat inconsistent, and no
worse if clear_page_mlock() moved up.

precise-amd64: chroot not found (::,)
I suspect it has something to do with the fact, that I build kernel for Quantal on Precise. Maybe this path doesn't support such cross-version building scenario. Or maybe the tutorial missed something obvious to kernel hackers, which I didn't know.
Update:
I figured I need to install the devscripts for the dch, but the problem persists; I've updated the output.
