Had anyone seen that before? When a socket has buffers charged to it the socket cant be destroyed so the kernel hangs on to it. It indicates one of several things - a socket that has some state timeouts left to do that are longer than 10 secs after the close, a socket that has buffers queued up with a very constipated driver, or a leak.

Is there MesaGL support for aalib ;-) Actually aalib is already performing pretty nicely on the old console. However the ``linux'' driver doesn't work right due to some console bug; one has to use the slang driver. So aa is more a test of the correctness than the performance.

It currently supports all Indy models (R4400, R4600, or R5000 MIPS(TM) CPUs, with or without secondary caches). Additional SGI hardware support is planned but not yet available.

Maybe it's fixed in some version I don't > have yet? No, I have no idea what might be causing this. I myself got bus errors now and then but for me they have disappeared. Looks like I fixed them en passer. The bad thing with a bus error is that it may be delayed for a very long time thus resulting in a useless program counter. What happens is that the CPU writes to some invalid address but the write access over the system bus is delayed because the writeback cache policy is being used. Later, maybe even much later, when the cacheline gets written back to memory for some reason the system board signals a bus error interrupt. At this point the program counter may already be completly useless. I'm shure this has happened in your case as well.

You cannot get a delayed bus error on a cached write, unless you do a "create dirty exclusive" cache operation to validate the line before writing. You can get delayed bus errors on uncached writes, as to device control registers. Since any K1SEG address is uncached, it is not too hard to generate a bus error with a bad pointer value.

At least on XEmacs this hasn't worked for a while, and I guess FSF Emacs isn't in any better shape in that area. Fixing the undumping code may be easier.

Linux uses Create_Dirty_Excl_D as optimization where possible, so the probability for this to happen is relativly high. Linux however should never use Create_Dirty_Excl_D or Create_Dirty_Excl_SD on R4[04]00SC CPUs, have to verify this. > You can get delayed bus errors on uncached writes, > as to device control registers.

It accelerated the Indy console from Sun 3 style performance to too fast to read performance. Things that I noticed - bb is still broken when using aalib's Linux console driver - We seem to have an off by one error. The topmost scanline is also being displayed at the bottom of the screen. - The display as programmed by Linux is somewhat offseted from IRIX's. Bad because one has to reduce the size of the display and still the display will wander around when switching between operating systems. - I broke the esp driver.

At first I got the hardhat-5.1 alpha1 archive. Booting with tftp was no problem. After the package selection the installer was not able to open the rpm database. The programm received a signal 11 and terminated. The kernel output was not helpful. So I initialized the rpm database in the nfsroot environment and the next time the installer started extracting the packages. But a lot of packages failed with "execution of script failed". The kernel reported excepions from ldconfig and afterwards every program I wanted to start on the second tty terminated with segmentation fault. I found no way to get around that. Then I got the testinstall-tree from the devel directory and the packages from redhat5.1alpha2. After that I installed a few packages in this tree like fileutils, mount and so on. During the manual install I experienced that after the installation of the bash and the glibc package in the installation directory all installation scripts worked fine. I think the installer should at first install this packages in the install directory, because rpm chroots to this dir. In the meantime I have a lot of packages installed, but without the use of installer. So I still lack some important packages, but it's going on... A few questions: - can I use the mouse with gpm, which device ? - which one is the newest kernel version, and where can I get it ? - I installed egcs, should I better use gcc ? - does the XFree86-FB work, where can I get developer versions ?

Sounds to me like a processor thing. Could that be, Ralf? I'm not sure I've seen anyone try on an R4000 before, and if so, wha the implications of are for its cache. Either that, or somehow there's a bootloader issue. I expect the MIPSEB or MIPSEL Magic is part of the (ecoff?) header; perhaps the image you're booting from or your version of ARC is somehow incorrect.

Shall I retry? The PROM on older Indy systems, especially those with R4000 processors, may only support MIPS ECOFF binaries. Are you booting an ELF or an ECOFF kernel binary? If you have an ELF kernel binary, and it cannot be converted to ECOFF, you may need a two-level loading scheme. Note that you could try loading sash from the local disk, and then have sash boot vmlinux via bootp(), since sash does know about ELF binaries.

For Indys we currently only build ELF kernels. I've implemented a clean solution how to boot ECOFF systems because I needed that for the RC3230, I'll publish it when it's debugged.

No, _this_ is not a processor thing. However some 100MHz R4000 have a processor bug (the count/compare thing) which we don't handle yet. The bug shouldn't be lethal it might just result in temporary lockup of the machine for about 86s during which no more timer interrupt are being delivered. The fix is known; it just needs to be implemented.

These sections are mostly being used for code using global pointer optimization. .lit8 is also being used for fp code when assembling li.d macros. For kernel code global pointer optimization is incompatible with our current use of $gp as the current pointer; in userland gp optimization is incompatible with PIC code.

With a crude hack in unexec(), I now have a emcas binary, which will show up an empty X window. Looking with strace and tcpdump it looks like emacs tries to do more X work, but doesn't succeed.
