When booting the kernel pass the additional argument init=/bin/sh. You'll end up in a single user shell, can remount your root fs r/w and fix things. The whole securetty thing has become a senseless annoyance since the introduction of pseudo terminals and more fine grained mechanisms for controlling access from networks.

All this is done with very few changes to the source. I am putting together a set of patches currently. I'll post here when they are ready. I don't have submit access to the CVS tree so I won't be able to put them there. I would like some people to make sure the patches don't break the Indy ;) Also, what is a good way of getting the boot messages to print via the prom commands? Currently I have a hacked up printk to do this, but would like something cleaner. Would it be feasible to write a prom console? It might make it easier to work on boxes without any sort of graphics support available yet... -Andrew From owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Sat May 1 21:06:37 1999 Received: from cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (cthulhu.engr.sgi.com [192.26.80.2]) by neteng.engr.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/970903.SGI.AUTOCF) via ESMTP id VAA46677 for ; Sat, 1 May 1999 21:06:37 -0700 (PDT) Return-Path: Received: (from majordomo-owner@localhost) by cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/970903.SGI.AUTOCF) id VAA36006 for linux-list; Sat, 1 May 1999 21:03:10 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (owner-linux@relay.engr.sgi.com) Received: from sgi.com (sgi.engr.sgi.com [192.26.80.37]) by cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/970903.SGI.AUTOCF) via ESMTP id VAA30985 for ; Sat, 1 May 1999 21:03:08 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (jcoffin@sv.usweb.com) Received: from sv.usweb.com (null-client16.sf.usweb.com [207.138.177.16] (may be forged)) by sgi.com (980327.SGI.8.8.8-aspam/980304.SGI-aspam: SGI does not authorize the use of its proprietary systems or networks for unsolicited or bulk email from the Internet.) via SMTP id AAA03982 for ; Sun, 2 May 1999 00:03:08 -0400 (EDT) mail_from (jcoffin@sv.usweb.com) Received: (qmail 16307 invoked by uid 500); 2 May 1999 04:10:56 -0000 To: tsbogend@alpha.franken.de CC: linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Subject: RE: Yet Closer From: Jeff Coffin Date: 01 May 1999 21:10:55 -0700 Message-ID: X-Mailer: Gnus v5.5/Emacs 20.3 Sender: owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Precedence: bulk Content-Length: 525 Lines: 27 > Try the vmlinux-initrd kernel from the test directory.

This will let people with an Indigo2 actually boot into Linux. However, they probably won't be able to do much thereafter (I get the kernel to die while doing a 'cat README' in the root directory). Unfortunately, this won't print the console boot messages to the screen either. To do this, I replaced the printk code in kernel/printk.c with the printf code in arch/mips/arc/printf.c. I'm sure there is a better way, but I haven't found it yet. These were made against the yesterday's (1999.05.01) version of the CVS tree. -Andrew P.S.

Great, most of the work has already been done for me. ;) This is what I had thought about, I just hadn't tried to figure out where to start yet. A PROM console would probably be a help on any of the SGIs until some sort of graphics support is worked out. > > -LINKFLAGS = -static -N > > +# having -N in LINKFLAGS causes my Indigo2 not to boot > > +LINKFLAGS = -static > > This is a problem with the cross linker and not with the kernel itself, it's the > same for Indy's.

I was all happy about seeing Andrew's Indigo2 patches, and decided that I _had_ to try and make it work on an Indigo2 Impact 10000... Suffice it to say that it isn't straightforward. I first tried to get the machine to boot an elf32 kernel. That failed miserably, since it doesn't recognize 32-bit ELF objects. Comparison of sashARCS and sash64 indicated that I needed to use elf64. My first inclination was to just try the same load address as the Indys and r4400 Indigo2s use. I can't remember the exact error message, but the PROM basically panicked while loading the first word at 0x88002000 (or wherever). So I tried using the 64 bit start address from sash64 (high hex nibble is 0xa). Needless to say, the elf32 linker options conflicted with that one, and the linker (from binutils-2.8.1 or so) seg faulted. When I finally recompiled with -mips3 and with a revised linker script, I noticed something curious. Instead of just truncating the 64-bit addresses, it rounded them off to 0xffffffff. Any thoughts on this? Am I approaching this wrong?

The R10000 "bug" is, in a sense, a feature, in that it improves performance, and is harmless on machines with cache-coherent I/O. Specifically, on a speculative store miss (a cache miss due to a speculatively executed store instruction), the R10000 fetches the line dirty-exclusive and marks it modified, in anticipation of the store. If, however, the speculatively executed store never graduates (is never committed), the line is left dirty, even though it has not been modified. If the line happens to be part of a buffer into which data is being DMAed, a subsequent victim writeback of the dirty cache line might overwrite good data from the DMA with the obsolete data in the cache line. This means that, one way or the other, a system with non-cache-coherent I/O and an R10000 must avoid allowing the processor to perform a speculative store miss with respect to memory into which a DMA is taking place. Note that the Indigo2 and O2 have somewhat different workarounds. The Indigo2 deals with the kernel side using a special compilation mode, and the O2 deals with the kernel side using a special hardware feature plus a generalization of the solution for the user mode part of the problem. Both deal with the user mode by invalidating TLB entries for pages into which data is being transferred via DMA, so that the processor cannot resolve the virtual address, and hence cannot speculatively fetch a cache line at that address, while the DMA is in progress. The kernel side is harder, since the TLB is not used for K0SEG and XKPHYS address spaces, which is where things get complicated. I can provide the details to someone who is really interested in working on this, but, as Dave Olson indicated, you don't want to start on this unless you have a LOT of spare time.

Ok, you don't have to look at it I think since I just smashed the bug. I found that indy_sc_wipe corrupted the interrupt mask, and that it relayed on that it was restored by other functions to a correct state again.

To celebrate that, I've uploaded a new version of the driver. Including a binary kernel with sound support this time. If you want to play some music go through the following steps: 1. Get a binary linux-indy-sound kernel from ftp://ftp.linux.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/test. 2. Install the ALSA and mpg123 precompiled RPM packages you get from ftp://ftp.linux.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/ALSA (note that I have moved it out from the test directory). 4. You will now have to create the ALSA sound devices. Run the script snddevices in /usr/doc/alsa-driver-0.3.0-pre5. 5. Insert the modules, in the order: snd.o snd-pcm.o snd-timer.o snd-pcm1.o snd-mixer.o snd-pcm1-oss.o snd-hal2.o snd-card-hal2.o. Write this in the boot scripts if you don't want to insert the modules manually each time. 6. Play audio! 7.

Now I have a box running maybe I can help by porting some of the userland rpms? I have managed to get the development tools installed and can now build a kernel from the 2.2.1 sources I have been around Linux since Linus released the first kernel around '91, so I am comfortable building the kernel and other sources. It's been a while since I did any serious coding so suggestions on some simple/small ports would be welcome. I have a full copy of the RH 5.2 sources and could make a start on those. I know this is a regular question but what's the latest with the X Server? I am more than willing to test code if anyone would like me do do so. I have compiled my current kernel with efs support but mount does not want to play! I'm running 2.7l of mount, do i need a newer version?

In return, IBM will offer 24-hour phone support to users of DB2 on TurboLinux. The announcement clarifies an earlier announcement by IBM that it would support the four leading Linux distribution vendors, so expect news of similar deals with SuSE Inc, Caldera Inc and Red Hat Software Inc in the weeks to come - "specific things with specific distributions," as director of integrated solutions and Linux marketing for IBM, Jon Prial, puts it. IBM plans to be as agnostic about different flavors of Linux as it tries to be about those other server operating systems, Solaris and NT. "We are not getting into a religious war," says Prial, "the bottom line comes down to customer choice." PHT chief executive, Cliff Miller says the deal should give PHT's corporate customers peace of mind. "The relationship extends far beyond combining our software together and the ease of installation, and performance boosts that will bring," he told ComputerWire, "there's also the support infrastructure that IBM brings." Prial agrees: "What we're finding is that there clearly is an interest in Linux," he says, "it's just not running under the purview of the CIO. Our announcement of support should make Linux more viable." Another plus for PHT is the North America sales channels that Big Blue can provide. PHT has just re-entered the US market after a successful sojourn in Asia. "IBM has a little bit of experience in this area," Miller jokes. PHT's Asian beachhead won't hurt DB2 in those markets, either. "We're working closely with IBM Japan to address internationalization," Miller says, adding this jab at his rivals: "DB2 already runs on TurboLinux with support for Japanese, whereas with some of the other distributions, support for Japanese is broken." If this seems like the perfect marriage of open source and binary-only software vendors, it's not. Miller famously attributes part of the success of TurboLinux in Asia to its laissez-faire attitude towards software piracy. "With Linux, that's really not an issue," he says. Add DB2 to TurboLinux CDs and unlicensed copying takes on a very different complexion. Prial insists that the Chinese market is changing and that pretty soon: "Software sales will become a good source of revenue." Again, support will be the key. It may be easy for Chinese companies to obtain unlicensed copies of DB2, but it will remain difficult for them to obtain technical support unless they can prove they have handed over the purchase price. © ComputerWire Inc, 1999. -- .--------1---------2---------3---------4---------5---------6---------7--- Eric Kimminau eak@sgi.com Electronic Support Tools Vox:248-848-4455 Fax:248-848-5600 VNET:6-327-4455 "I speak my mind and no one else's."

If it's one that isn't yet supported in our sources then I suspect you have a problem either with the cacheflushing routines themselfes or the calls to them in the network driver. What NIC are you using, btw?

Since we don't have bootp working (don't ask!) I put the vmlinux file on the Irix file system and booted that from the sash prompt, using an intel linux machine as an nfs server for the distribution. Everything was fine once I used the ip kernel option to turn off autoconfig. There's nothing about this in the notes but I figured it out with some help from my colleagues. Something I note is that two routes were set up to the local subnet: (at least according to the output of netstat -r) Apparently you no longer need to do this by hand with kernels version 2.2.* - this appears to happen in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup . Also, the default installation for portmap and ypbind starts them up in the wrong order: I gather this is a standard RedHat error? Anyway, these are minor gripes not related to the HardHat distribution, and the box rocks. However, not having an X-server is a bit painful. I'm a bit confused about what is actually available: there seem to be lots of x applications, XFree86 and so on in the RPMS directory, so what's missing? A frame buffer? Can anyone reading this give me an update on the likely availability of the XServer? I'm not savvy enough to contribute to the code, but I can now volunteer to beta-test it. If you're still with me, I'd like to congratulate everyone involved in the porting effort on doing an excellent job. Nice one!

However a correct patch is slightly more complex and will acount for the fact that KSEG0 through which we route the access is only 512mb large. Therefore we might have to install a temporary mapping and access memory through it, if outside of the 512mb. The other bug is that memory accesses via ptrace for virtual addresses which are uncached would be executed cached, trouble ahead. Further complexity is added by handling write buffers for the R3000 and virtual coherency for R4000.

This happens because we use an old version of net-tools in HardHat but use a current kernel. It's harmless however.

Debugging :-) In particular the ring structures are nasty, allocate them as uncached memory in KSEG1. In general the rule is that you should try to handle as much in uncached memory as possible when debugging such problems.

That means we need something like read_phys() and write_phys() for all CPU variants, even board variations. The functions needs to get passed an virtual address as well such that it can deal with virtual coherency on R4000.

Why upgrading net-tools is necessary you also have to upgrade /sbin/ifup to a newer version. The problem's cause is that Linux 2.2 adds a route to every interface automatically. The ifup script then adds another route ... > On a slightly different note, has anyone succeeded in building glib ?

The program should be linked against libpthread, so the above link command lacks the -lpthread option. The question is now, why. I think this happens due to a bug which has been fixed in the meantime. Please try to upgrade to the libc from the Redhat 5.2 directory, does rebuilding work them? Ralf
