Its an NEC 5074 development board with an VR5000 -- 32K I and 32K D Primary cache no secondary cache. which vec0 code should I be using? NEC seems to have a bunch of errata and hazards in this part when dealing with TLBWR and friends... Is any of the existing code supposed to respect these?

I don't have the errata at hand but as I remember we deal correctly with all the cache and TLB errata documented by IDT/QED. Otherwise for shure Linux wouldn't run on my R5k Indy.

BTW, with this patch, I have managed to successfully boot my Indigo2 and have gone as far as installing hardhat on it. It hasn't crashed so far, even after I got it up to a load average of 164... ;) However, I do consistently get "signal 11" errors while trying to compile a kernel on it.

(I guess > 5.2 was less taxing on 32 M RAM.) We beat IRIX, that sound great to me ;-) I'm interested in how this CD playback works.

This is the only problem, which points back to an error on the NFS server that is giving out the root filesystem. I get a similar error on my Indigo2 at home, but not on the one I have in my office. I am planning on upgrading my home bootp/root NFS server to see if that makes it go away. I haven't found any details on the specific NFS errors though, so I can't intepret it for you.

The SCSI driver only detects one (the internal) controller. This is fine and dandy on the Indy 'cause it only has one SCSI controller. The Indigo2 has two, so the driver needs to be modified to detect (and access) the second one.

Since the file is decompressed without warnings I assume that the scp went fine. Anyhow, when I had decompressed the file I got corruption in the middle of the patch. The corruption affected only a couple of lines, 10 or so. The problems I experience are not repeatable. Everything went smooth after a reboot. I usually reboot the machine when it's messing with me, that helps.

Btw, I started to store important stuff on NFS. I can't stand NFS. Files, or entire directories vanish from ls, but I may still open them if I specify their names directly.

It looks like the problems appear when more than one SCSI devices are present. You only have one internal SCSI drive, right? Do you mind telling us more exactly what type of file corruption you suffer from? It would also help if you could attach an output from hinv, or just tell us what hardware you have.

What CVS is doing is correct, it converts the files into what the local system - the NT system - is using. As a workaround try the keyword expansion mode -kb when checking out.

There is nothings special with external devices, so if they result in crashes you should double check that cabeling and termination are ok.

Good spotting, the CPU detection code has a bug causes only V4 CPUs to be detected as R4400. The difference is just cosmetics; R4000 and R4400 are almost the same. Especially it's unrelated to the file corruption problem.

Yes, we've fixed a bug freeing memory used by the PROMs and I'm almost certain that this bug caused your 6.0 machine to freeze. Iff that still doesn't help, could you do some experiment for me? I want to know if the problem is really related to the CPU version 6.0 and you seem to have multiple Indys. Could just try and put the R4400 6.0 module into the Indy which seems to be fine with Linux and report your findings? (Swapping a CPU module is easy with Indys, SGI did nice work on that.)

Anybody interested in maintaining this facility? IRIX 4.* binaries are COFF binaries, not ELF, and have a very different ABI from IRIX 5.* binaries. The present support is really for IRIX 5 binaries, which are much closer in interface semantics to Linux native binaries.

It's hard to say since these problems are very hard to reproduce, and I forget what happens from time to time. I have unfortunately not written down the results. It sounds like this may be the cause of the type of file corruption I have when only a little part of the file is damaged (sounds like the problem covers both icache and dcache). That type of file corruption goes away after reboot. I haven't had a chance to try this with my discard-disk-cache program since this happens very seldom.. > What model of CPU do you have in your machine? I have a 133 MHz R4600 with 512kb board cache, 16kb dcache and 16kb icache.

I've alreayd tried to boot/install from a remote mounted cdrom. This always results in an error. Then I've tried to copy the Irix-CD to a directory and install from this directory. I was able to invoke fx on the Indy, but I was not able to proceed with the installation. (During Linux/SGI install I made propably an error which results in a corrupted Indy-filesystem - so I'm forced to reinstall Irix on my Indy.) //Tom From owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Wed Jun 30 16:11:44 1999 Received: from pneumatic-tube.sgi.com (pneumatic-tube.sgi.com [204.94.214.22]) by lara.stud.fh-heilbronn.de (8.9.1a/8.9.1) with ESMTP id QAA15846 for ; Wed, 30 Jun 1999 16:11:41 +0200 Received: from cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (cthulhu.engr.sgi.com [192.26.80.2]) by pneumatic-tube.sgi.com (980309.SGI.8.8.8-aspam-6.2/980310.SGI-aspam) via ESMTP id HAA3934182; Wed, 30 Jun 1999 07:09:14 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com) Received: (from majordomo-owner@localhost) by cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/970903.SGI.AUTOCF) id HAA77753 for linux-list; Wed, 30 Jun 1999 07:06:14 -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 HAA46095 for ; Wed, 30 Jun 1999 07:06:11 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (weave@eng.umd.edu) Received: from imap0.glue.umd.edu (imap0.glue.umd.edu [128.8.10.158]) 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 ESMTP id HAA05503 for ; Wed, 30 Jun 1999 07:06:10 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (weave@eng.umd.edu) Received: from z.glue.umd.edu (root@z.glue.umd.edu [128.8.10.71]) by imap0.glue.umd.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA28517 for ; Wed, 30 Jun 1999 10:06:09 -0400 (EDT) Received: from z.glue.umd.edu (sendmail@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by z.glue.umd.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id KAA10050 for ; Wed, 30 Jun 1999 10:06:08 -0400 (EDT) Received: from localhost by z.glue.umd.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id KAA10046 for ; Wed, 30 Jun 1999 10:06:08 -0400 (EDT) X-Authentication-Warning: z.glue.umd.edu: weave owned process doing -bs Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 10:06:07 -0400 (EDT) From: Vince Weaver X-Sender: weave@z.glue.umd.edu To: linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Subject: Re: IRIX Partations with HardHat Linux In-Reply-To: <199906301348.PAA13995@sun168.eu> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Precedence: bulk Content-Length: 1413 Lines: 37 On Wed, 30 Jun 1999, Tom Woelfel wrote: > Dag Bakke writes: > > No, you're not.

It involved a Linux box with an early 2.3.x kernel on it [2.3.2 I think] with efs support compiled it. It took many hours of tweaking the booptab file and tftp, but finally we got the SASH off the Irix CD to load, and eventually a miniroot. The one thing that really helped was putting the Debug Messages in bootp up as high as possible, so you can see what files the SGI is requesting, and then mess around with your bootp server until it gets the file it is looking for. I would be a bit more explicit but the final breakthrough was made late at night after many, many, many randomly guessed attempts, and we were so happy to get it working we were afraid to try and replicate it because we never thought we'd figure it out again.

This is not tested, but I think it may work. If it works you may setup the initrd partition so that you have the tools you need to partition the SCSI harddrive with a decent EFS disklabel (this partition is afterwards appended on the end of the kernel). I think Thomas has been working on a new redhat installer using the initrd, but I doubt he finished it. What's the current status?

I have been looking at the fault handling and the cache flushing routines for the R4600. In do_no_page() in mm/memory.c, we have: flush_page_to_ram(page); I don't see where any code invalidates the icache, which might have cached lines from a previous incarnation of the page. flush_page_to_ram(), for the R4600, essentially does a writeback of the dcache, if I understand the code correctly. I believe that an icache invalidate is also needed, at least for executable pages (including any page for which mprotect() with PROT_EXEC has been called, not just for text pages from an executable file). Also, unless something has changed, my understanding is that conflicting virtual aliases (in the dcache) are still possible, which will also lead to data corruption when it happens. In particular, if process A mmaps a file page at virtual index 0 and process B happens to mmap the same file page at virtual index 1, they will in general corrupt each other's view of the data. There is a comment in memory.c that a non-present page shouldn't be cached, but it is not yet clear to me that this is guaranteed for the icache. Also, the flush_page_to_ram() slows down processing on machines which physical cache tags, for cases where the virtual index used by the kernel and the virtual index used by the application are the same. It should have an extra argument of the intended user virtual address, so that it can decide whether to flush or not on architectures such as MIPS. Handling the virtual index conflicts requires dynamic ownership switching (including cache flushing), which means that we have to record those hardware-valid PTEs currently referencing the page, so that we can invalidate the PTEs and flush the cache when a fault happens for a mapping of a different color. We could take a brute-force approach, and record just one mapping, forcing a fault on each use of a different message, which would allow us to keep the reverse map in an array parallel to mem_map, or we could use some more complex structure to record mappings. Also, to reduce the frequency of conflicts, address assignment in do_mmap() should take cache color into account on machines with virtually indexed caches which lack hardware cache coherency (such as the R4000PC, R4600, and R5000).

Suppose physical page X has been used as logical page 100 of executable file ABC, and is then freed, but is still partially in the icache at virtual index 0. Then suppose the page X is reused as logical page 200 of executable DEF, at virtual index 0. The writeback of the data cache is good, but there are still cache lines from file ABC in the icache. If nothing flushes the icache (and there is no reason to flush the icache when reusing a page for data), the icache will have stale data with respect to the new identity of page X as logical page 200 of executable DEF. Also, if there are incompatible aliases for a page, and there are dirty lines left in the cache when the mapping for, say, virtual index 1 is released, and then the mapping for virtual index 0 is also released, and the page, which has KSEG0 virtual index 0 is used for I/O, the normal flushing will flush only virtual index 0. A later victim writeback of the dirty lines for virtual index 1 will overwrite the new data with stale data, even if the new data is instructions. This case can apply even if the one alias is a kernel KSEG0 alias and the other is a user alias. For regular file I/O, this is not a problem, but it is a problem with mmap(), particularly since Linux mmap() makes no attempt to keep multiple mappings of the same page of a file color-congruent. (mmap() addresses are essentially arbitrary.) The icache issue applies to all processors. The dcache issue applies only to the R4000PC, R4600, and R5000. > > There is a comment in memory.c that a non-present page shouldn't > > be cached, but it is not yet clear to me that this is guaranteed for > > the icache. > > Flushing the caches for pages which are being unmapped is done by > flush_cach_page and takes care of the VM_EXEC flag. > > On exec, fork or exit we flush the entire cache so that problems shouldn't > hit us either.

Yes, since those have write-through caches. The icache invalidation is still an issue, if there are any paths, such as try_to_swap_out(), which break a virtual-to-physical mapping without flushing the icache. > For virtual indexed CPUs something like change_page_colour(oldvaddr, newvaddr) > would usually do a more efficient job than always flushing the page to > memory especially when combined with an allocator which takes the vaddr where > the page will be mapped as a hint. Right. Also, for IRIX and RISCos, I had mmap prefer an mmap address for which color(address) == color(file_offset), so that applications not using MAP_FIXED would always map a given file page at the same virtual color, and I had the kernel use page_mapin() to make a page addressable, so that I could have page_mapin() create a KSEG2 mapping of the appropriate color if it were different from the KSEG0 color of the page (for cases where the allocator could not allocate a page with KSEG0 color to match the desired virtual color). page_mapin() would of course return the KSEG0 address if the KSEG0 color matched the virtual color. The color changing code is still neaded to deal with MAP_FIXED and so on, but it is much less performance-critical.
