Binaries of binutils and egcs are available for the following types of hosts are available in /pub/linux/mips/crossdev/ - Linux/i386 (glibc 2.1 required) - Linux/Alpha (glibc 2.0 or newer required) - Linux/Sparc (glibc 2.0 or newer required) - Linux/PPC (glibc 2.0 or newer required) Credits for providing the Alpha and Sparc binaries go to Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo (acme@conectiva.com.br). Please read the list of changes to the patch files and RPM packages below. Please report problems ralf@uni-koblenz.de or one of the Linux/MIPS mailing lists. Ralf Changes to egcs since egcs 1.0.2: - Fixed #ident operator to generate .ident, not .string. You must upgrade binutils to at least binutils-2.8.1-1.diff before you can use or build this compiler. You must installed this compiler release if you want to compile modutils; previous releases were producing bad code. Changes to binutils since version binutils-2.8.1-2.diff: - TLB instructions are now applied to the same instruction scheduling rules as other coprocessor instructions. - Rebuilt the binary RPM using the new patch. You must upgrade to binutils-2.8.1-2.diff if you wish to compile Linux/MIPS kernels for R3000 CPUs. Changes to binutils since version binutils-2.8.1-1.diff: - Fix the .ident pseudo op in gas to handle sections correctly. You must upgrade to at least this version before you want to upgrade to egcs-1.0.3a.diff. 66f22d90c7bdbf77035f35a4cffa0e63 binutils-2.8.1-3.diff.gz 24906a53ab1abc105256d29e4928a77e binutils-mips-linux-2.8.1-1.alpha.rpm 331bbbe37ec6005a429d8e5886ccba1c binutils-mipsel-linux-2.8.1-1.alpha.rpm 17c1a924b4934040e6a5d0f7eef42278 binutils-mips-linux-2.8.1-1.i386.rpm 1e45a295ec695b241434332721144b1e binutils-mipsel-linux-2.8.1-1.i386.rpm c3214c60813f045e72ca2162a23c717e binutils-mips-linux-2.8.1-1.ppc.rpm 30652af3c6d6daf390f1c8b682dcdbde binutils-mipsel-linux-2.8.1-1.ppc.rpm 289f49618cb1fd122c0a1080575e30b8 binutils-mips-linux-2.8.1-1.sparc.rpm 489e2e34bf8d1671645b85fb3c630f68 binutils-mipsel-linux-2.8.1-1.sparc.rpm ef30d241f81c13cf443631bcd5ab1914 cross-binutils-2.8.1-1.src.rpm e64f9950999f3e0850ba7f73e65b75e5 cross-egcs-1.0.3a-1.src.rpm 5f57e092d9b5f221054332fc039dc4ff egcs-1.0.3a-2.diff.gz 04b9084199eb234b588ae8fcdb930dac egcs-c++-mips-linux-1.0.3a-1.alpha.rpm f10ddf2c07d2fd36ad02bed7a3e3acc7 egcs-c++-mipsel-linux-1.0.3a-1.alpha.rpm bbcfe6b7b1594d639156b90687fb4a5c egcs-g77-mips-linux-1.0.3a-1.alpha.rpm 1ccb88ad648f1ee762f45788e4a61e79 egcs-g77-mipsel-linux-1.0.3a-1.alpha.rpm 67af9cea602b93b6d125e569a3f938b3 egcs-libstdc++-mips-linux-2.8.0-1.alpha.rpm f0d2a5c19cbaf63859405f725f41818b egcs-libstdc++-mipsel-linux-2.8.0-1.alpha.rpm e3bf275316b98adb6367304d9db01a1d egcs-mips-linux-1.0.3a-1.alpha.rpm 1ae65785a9deb0cdedb5a656ade821c4 egcs-mipsel-linux-1.0.3a-1.alpha.rpm 720e571214f8d9ba05a998a10704af6b egcs-objc-mips-linux-1.0.3a-1.alpha.rpm 32bc3f37365483d5b65bd1aa4c8e0876 egcs-objc-mipsel-linux-1.0.3a-1.alpha.rpm 3d0dc466d92175c121300bdef4881a33 egcs-c++-mips-linux-1.0.3a-1.i386.rpm c4272a37fe8e57b3f9bb8be738274836 egcs-c++-mipsel-linux-1.0.3a-1.i386.rpm c0de740218490e1b5256c002df724e9e egcs-g77-mips-linux-1.0.3a-1.i386.rpm 9d539da26bb07b7edca4c2106cb23d3a egcs-g77-mipsel-linux-1.0.3a-1.i386.rpm e6bd26ab57563f6d6e854325728fe3f2 egcs-libstdc++-mips-linux-2.8.0-1.i386.rpm 42300569bb1356d4c3209006700f1c6a egcs-libstdc++-mipsel-linux-2.8.0-1.i386.rpm 9d69a4a9bb481ff8bde126b58e13f184 egcs-mips-linux-1.0.3a-1.i386.rpm a84256a9295121d8042e0a5a8f1127ea egcs-mipsel-linux-1.0.3a-1.i386.rpm e5583f2486e5a87e4715e2a0757f316d egcs-objc-mips-linux-1.0.3a-1.i386.rpm 0a1d9166d05c40fe242ebf3e8e4c9d67 egcs-objc-mipsel-linux-1.0.3a-1.i386.rpm f0f1d54a00c61541326d7a9c6fabd856 egcs-c++-mips-linux-1.0.3a-1.ppc.rpm f28e90e7bf2494be0c55d85a15ed7763 egcs-c++-mipsel-linux-1.0.3a-1.ppc.rpm ee7eb7f1bb1a24ba024ef6b16eb140d1 egcs-g77-mips-linux-1.0.3a-1.ppc.rpm 599424fb7cb8c6f9c665b4724be07bc8 egcs-g77-mipsel-linux-1.0.3a-1.ppc.rpm bf4a42ed26188fd3deaceeaf864d7765 egcs-libstdc++-mips-linux-2.8.0-1.ppc.rpm 770888f1c4c2882c9e5d1c6627c3ab81 egcs-libstdc++-mipsel-linux-2.8.0-1.ppc.rpm be4bf0ac5d0804fcd6a31ec88cfe651e egcs-mips-linux-1.0.3a-1.ppc.rpm 679de1a46ea47ef7a829e6abcb47a257 egcs-mipsel-linux-1.0.3a-1.ppc.rpm 3ab9e864b8b3d58bcac6c07fa7363daf egcs-objc-mips-linux-1.0.3a-1.ppc.rpm c48aaeabd8b7373ee8fd3b358fa0869c egcs-objc-mipsel-linux-1.0.3a-1.ppc.rpm f5dacd4ad42184f57a8cff6ea650e4be egcs-c++-mips-linux-1.0.3a-1.sparc.rpm 09f2301fc208bf434fb83c6ccebe9752 egcs-c++-mipsel-linux-1.0.3a-1.sparc.rpm dd9630b77a2ec7fa057da244040b4d6d egcs-g77-mips-linux-1.0.3a-1.sparc.rpm 26c01a32ec26cbc1746bca05c9726e3b egcs-g77-mipsel-linux-1.0.3a-1.sparc.rpm f6c2debe62d93ddedf95a91ee98805fb egcs-libstdc++-mips-linux-2.8.0-1.sparc.rpm 3da0d34a7420762c75fe477416451b71 egcs-libstdc++-mipsel-linux-2.8.0-1.sparc.rpm2ab9227097946bfbd4e795a07cad82a1 egcs-mips-linux-1.0.3a-1.sparc.rpm 0f19e28546a185da5969442a6d35b495 egcs-mipsel-linux-1.0.3a-1.sparc.rpm 6cdcfe0d1b52d3fd033c64a289ee4836 egcs-objc-mips-linux-1.0.3a-1.sparc.rpm 32ca712e0aa483520afe39b87b0fc6ab egcs-objc-mipsel-linux-1.0.3a-1.sparc.rpm -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: latin1 iQCVAwUBN3qbV0ckbl6vezDBAQGUsgP9F1VrQQELRKgm5SuVG7z13235ZgBmRnhA dYkE9NQMY798XedAnuf7SmZZGeaqYivM1/td8AXaDG8gueMcAzOoIkNhdeOGBVj2 L7CilWqpW60iMdTsjbXYT+azD4/xAB8CoBnK7hgEeZIqkEgTXfxPuOeb8G+2NAGc QpMp1L5xE+k= =Spnq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Thu Jul 1 02:28:44 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 CAA16884 for ;

The particular flush_page_to_ram() call is only necessary because the call to vma->vm_ops->nopage() may have brought the page into the primary cache under it's KSEG0 address. > 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. Oh, the common case is either shared r/o mappings or SysV SHM which per ABI is 64kb aligned, so the hairy case doesn't hit us. Usually ... Especially I don't see why anything should corrupt executable pages which are r/o mapped. > 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. Actually we're pretty generous with our cacheflushed, we flush more than we should. > 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.

For R3000 and R6000 flush_page_to_ram() is a no-op, see arch/mips/mm/r2300.c and arch/mips/mm/r6000.c. 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.

I recently managed to install Linux on my Indy by just installing over the whole IRIX partition. I never thought that would work, but it did. :) The only thing that bugs me now is that I have to netboot it, but I can live with that. I was able to compile a few things, like Apache 1.3.6 and Roxen 1.3.111 without problems, and they seem to run just fine. Now I am wondering, did anyone get MySQL to compile on HardHat ? My version (3.22.23b) complains that my egcs should be at least 1.0.3, but I haven't found anything on ftp.linux.sgi.com newer than 1.0.2, and the latest egcs-release doesn't work out of the box. And what is the latest kernel ? I am using the 2.2.1-sound kernel, but I wanted to compile my own kernel, but I couldn't find sources for 2.2 on ftp.linux.sgi.com, only for 2.1. Otherwise, great work, now I finally can really put that Indy to use.

That seems to be exactly the problem R3k DECstations have. Processes are dying with SIGABRT SIGBUS or SIGSEGV shortly after swapping occurs. Trying to hunt that down I removed all optimisations from the cacheflushing routines and replaced them with flush_cache_all() but that didn't help. --- Regards, Harald From owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Thu Jul 1 16:48:07 1999 Received: from dns1.rz.fh-heilbronn.de (dns1.rz.fh-heilbronn.de [141.7.1.18]) by lara.stud.fh-heilbronn.de (8.9.1a/8.9.1) with ESMTP id QAA08480 for ; Thu, 1 Jul 1999 16:47:46 +0200 Received: from pneumatic-tube.sgi.com (pneumatic-tube.sgi.com [204.94.214.22]) by dns1.rz.fh-heilbronn.de (8.8.8/8.8.5) with ESMTP id QAA14779 for ; Thu, 1 Jul 1999 16:47:44 +0200 (MET DST) 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 HAA4126518; Thu, 1 Jul 1999 07:43:06 -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 HAA91970 for linux-list; Thu, 1 Jul 1999 07:38:27 -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 HAA42438 for ; Thu, 1 Jul 1999 07:38:25 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (andrewb@uab.edu) Received: from lilith.dpo.uab.edu (lilith.dpo.uab.edu [138.26.1.128]) 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 HAA09661 for ; Thu, 1 Jul 1999 07:38:22 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (andrewb@uab.edu) Received: from mdk187.tucc.uab.edu (mdk187.tucc.uab.edu [138.26.15.201]) by lilith.dpo.uab.edu (8.9.3/8.9.3) with SMTP id JAA26192 for ; Thu, 1 Jul 1999 09:17:01 -0500 Date: Thu, 1 Jul 1999 09:48:25 -0500 (CDT) From: "Andrew R.

Ok, yes that can happen in theory if code has been executed in a page which was not marked PROT_EXEC but execed though. Fixing that makes things quite a bit slower, we'll have to flush the icache on every flush_cache_page. flush_cache_range() already does this. Hmm... Maybe a my-software-behaves-properly-and-I-know-this-is-dangerous- sysctl() which restablishes the current i-cache flushing behaviour if VM_EXEC is unset? I herewith order an execution protection bit for the next generation MIPS and while we're at it an integer add with carry for faster IP checksums. > The icache issue applies to all processors.

Linux works just fine in little endian mode on Magnum 4000. The big endian mode uses the same partitioning scheme like IRIX which we purely coincidentaly happen to support :-) fdisk has some not too great support for creating Mips Disk Volume Headers in current versions.

For the most part of it you can just ignore it's existence. For the rest of it I can send you actual code :-) I hope all that sounds at least somewhat attrative to somebody to actually complete the big endian port. Myself and if necessary hopefully a couple of MIPS RISC/os engineers as well can help if necessary :-) > To make things more confusing, Alpha and Mips both have both SRM and > ARC consoles available, and both call their boot loader MiLo. We don't use Milo anymore on the little endian ARC machines.

IRIX bootp definately works, it unfortunately just has a different configfile from Linux's bootp. The bootp daemon usually used with Linux build and works just perfect under IRIX (6.5 in my case), so just rip of the sources from some Linux distribution. I uses RH 6.0 in my case, btw.

One thing that can bite you is that many bootp daemons give no indication of truncated replies (ie, your parameters don't fit into one packet).

The R3000 has a write-through cache, so there cannot be dirty cache lines, although you do have to flush the write buffers to be completely correct (in the case of a DMA device writing to memory VERY quickly after the register write which starts it up, on some hardware).

Note that on R3000 with it's physical indexed caches there is no way that cache problems should be able to crash the whole system. At least under the provision that DMA drivers get their cacheflushing right. I recently tried to put our memcpy / memmove from the kernel into libc and as result ended up with a libc which was almost unusable. Also, a part of memove is disabled by #if 0, it was demonstrated to cause data corruption. Time to fix that bastard. The whole file is a big mess, btw. because the code tries to share as much code as possible between memcpy, memmove and __copy_{to,from}_user.

I was able to run the linux install process, though using IRISconsole to talk to serial port 1 on the back of the challenge s is really bizarre. The screen redraws are odd and it usually requires 2 character inputs to really do something. that is having to press space bar twice or figure out how many tabs to press to get back to the button you want and then press space, but I digress. Anyway, it says Don't forget to change setup-1.9.1-2.noarch.rpm to add some securetty's so that you can log in over the network. My problem is that I don't know hoe to edit a *.rpm file. I can't figure out how to extract a rpm spec file. I would like to just leave out the securettys file all together for now. After reading the rpm man page I can see how to create an rpm file and I know how to extract the files that get installed from an rpm but I don't want to accidentally forget something that may be only mentioned in a spec file. Right now I have a machine that is pingable and telnetd responds to telnet but of course I can't get in. I tried to boot using the installfs as the root file system but it immediately launches the install program, I'm trying to use the nfsroot to get at my /dev/sdb1 so that I can remove the /etc/securettys file.

Most R3000 (and many R4000/R4600/R5000) boxes do not have cache-coherent I/O, and Linux/MIPS does do cache flushing. If everything is well-organized, one can flush the d-cache only before an I/O. On an R3000, it does not much matter which approach you take, since the caches are write-through (aside from the need to flush the write-buffer before initiating a DMA). For later processors, you must flush the d-cache BEFORE a DMA, since victim writebacks of dirty lines after a DMA into memory has updated memory will lead to I/O data corruption, and failure to flush dirty lines before a DMA from memory will lead to stale data being written to disk. If it is possible for the CPU to access the buffer during the DMA, then you must invalidate the cache for the buffer after a DMA into memory as well, but a well-constructed system should never do that. If you have a buffer which is not cache-line-aligned (which is possible with the general case of raw or direct I/O, although not in unmodified Linux at the moment), then, for DMA into memory, you must use temporary buffers for any portion of the buffer which occupies just part of a cache line, and copy the data from the temporary buffer to the real buffer after the DMA completes, to account for the possibility of a separate thread modifying data outside the buffer in the shared cache line, leading to a victim writeback (or a writethrough on the R3000). This could apply even to the R3000, depending on how the compiler generates code for a partial-word update, although it is unlikely.

The old one was misshaving when working on a branch. That is after a sequence of commands like cvs update -d -P -r linux_2_2 cvs update -d -P the final local copy would end up containing files both from the branch linux_2_2 and the main branch. This is fixed now. Just in case everybody who is working on a branch should explicitly give an ``-r '' option on the next update, ESPECIALLY before doing checkins; the archive might get messed up otherwise.

I couldn't get bootp working, so I copied the install kernel to the efs-root of the Irix (5.2?) disk, which proved a workable solution. I have a few questions: 1) The console uses 62 lines, but I can see only 47 of them using an Iiyama monitor. I also tried a genuine SGI monitor, which gives me all 62 lines. How can I set the number of lines? 2) How can I specify kernel options in the ARC firmware? I tried setenv -p OSLoadOptions "root=/dev/sdb1" init printenv OSLoadOptions which gives OSLoadOptions=root=/dev/sd so this doesn't seem to work. Can I use rdev on i386 machine for this? 3) What is the prefered partitioning scheme. I would like to go back to one disk, with no IRIX installed. So the question is what partition types is the arc-firmware able to boot from? (iso,fat) Can we alternatively store the kernel in the disk-label? From within Linux?? Is the following possible? sda1 20 MB /boot type=efs (or iso9660, or fat) sda2 100 MB / type=ext2 sda3 whole disk? Is this necessary? sda4 800 MB /usr type=ext2 sda5 128 MB SWAP sda6 REST /data type=ext2 Is linux capable of writing to an efs partition?

Get a newer kernel, which will autodetect the screen size setup by the ARC console. You can find a newer kernel on ftp://ftp.linux.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/test/vmlinux-indy* (take the newest one).

If > someone could confirm or deny their existence on any other platform? The float / va_arg bug is a pilot error. See ANSI C draft chapter 6.5.2.2, paragraph 6 and7. In short the problem is that float parameters will be promoted to double. You therefore have to to change the call of va_arg in your float.c to va_arg(va, float). Obvious, heh ;-) Btw, SGI's compiler also doesn't attempt to get va_arg(..., float) right.

That one is funny. It was/is a longstanding libc bug originally reported by Dong Liu. I actually thought it'd be fixed but now thanks to your report I see it's still broken. So the multithreaded variant of your double.c doesn't work at all on our libc. The bug is in glibc/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/clone.S; I suppose Cobalt's libc which I last worked on late October is still using my old clone.S from that time or somebody else there came up with a funky new bug completly on it's own - which might explain why double.c cannot even successfully create the threads. More later ...

It is later :-) Attached are fixed versions of clone.S. I also attach Dong's old test program. While now threads are working dong.c still fails for a large number of threads, that is > 1000 or so with a SIGSEGV.

We have the fix, I think. Not clone.S, but in glibc-2.0.7/linuxthreads/internals.h line 86 we need to tell gcc that this struct (_pthread_descr_struct - which defines the offset of a thread's stack from a well-aligned, malloc() returned addr) be padded to be aligned correctly on an 8byte boundary: -}; +} __attribute__ ((aligned(__alignof__(double)))); It's working for us now. Please confirm if it works for you folks, too. A bug report has been filed for glibc, though I doubt if anything official goes on for 2.0.x, now. Hopefully 2.1.x will fold this in. A thread's stack really should always be well aligned :) Funny, the doubles were actually calculated right, but stdio functions use va_arg - which expected double's to be aligned, and weren't. The work got done, but it couldn't tell us! As for the va_arg "bug" - I realized it was pilot error shortly after sending it out. I just needed to look at something that was NOT this double bug for a while. :) So the new question is who wants to do thread support in gdb !!

As this will obviously attract hackers, our sys-admin really wants to bring the machine in an up-to-date security state before widely announing it. Right now it has RedHat 5.1 installed, without any security updates. This seems to run fine. I've seen some effort to produce redhat5.2 RPMS and even a message about getting glibc2.1 to work on mipseb, but nothing further. My (next) questions are: 1) Is there already someone building/maintaining a 5.2 or 6.0 distro? 2) Would supplying the right packages/hdlist to the 5.1 installer work? 3) Are the diffs needed to build the 5.1 distro backported in RedHat 6.0? (if not, are these stored somewhere?) I'm running rpm --rebuild *redhat6.0.src.rpm right now. At least glibc2.1 is giving errors, I'll see about some more tomorrow morning.

It's been on my to do list for a long time to check if -G > 0 will be a better use of $28 than putting the current variable there.

At least it works with redhat-alpha. If you can get the kernel loaded and recognising the CD, it should be do-able. Just boot the kernel with vmlinux root=/dev/scd0 You can't just dump the RPMS to the CD. The whole install image should be on the CD, it should be mountable as a rootfs. Beware that there are quite some absolute symlinks. They could pose problems. Make sure that mkisofs picks the right contents in this case. (e.g. sbin/init instead of /sbin/init) BTW: I'm trying to come up with recompiled rpm for the updates relative to HardHat. Is anyone interested in these?

In preparation for that I have cleaned up some things and made the CPU configuration finer granulated (if you want it) so that it will be possible to configure Linux for CPUs with, for example, an R4000 core but without ll/sc instructions. As a side effect it will be no longer possible to build "generic" kernels, i.e. kernels that are able to work on R3xxx and R4xxx machines and you'll have to choose at least the right CPU core. Wanting to have "generic" kernels leads to major uglinesses like avoidable indirect function calls and self-modifying code and I don't like that. AFAIK only the DECstations will be affected and I can happily live with that when it leads to cleaner, leaner and faster code.

Well, the VR4111 doesn't support ll/sc instructions and without the R3000 patch you will have no chance to get a working kernel. > On topic: I like the fine-grained CPU configuration. By any chance did you > include Vr4111 in there? Not exactly. I was more thinking along the lines of: "Hey, I have this wonderful CPU with an R4000 core (i.e. R4000 exception handling) but it doesn't support ll/sc instructions so use the R3000 variant for atomic operations" or "My CPU is based on an R3000 but it does have ll/sc instructions so use them" or even "Yes, my box has an R3000 variant but linux doesn't have to care about the writeback buffer, some magical hardware does this". That is already implemented (No big deal, to be honest. Just some config.in hacking and replacing some "#if (_MIPS_ISA == _MIPS_ISA_MIPS1)" with "#if !defined (CONFIG_CPU_HAS_LLSC)"). This concept can easily be expanded to, let's say, DMA snooping or "cache coherent I/O", if needed. An additional idea is to hide all these details from Joe Average, based on assumptions from the machine and CPU type, but to make them available to developers. --- Regards, Harald From owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Tue Jul 20 00:07:55 1999 Received: from deliverator.sgi.com (deliverator.sgi.com [204.94.214.10]) by lara.stud.fh-heilbronn.de (8.9.1a/8.9.1) with ESMTP id AAA29183 for ; Tue, 20 Jul 1999 00:07:53 +0200 Received: from cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (cthulhu.engr.sgi.com [192.26.80.2]) by deliverator.sgi.com (980309.SGI.8.8.8-aspam-6.2/980310.SGI-aspam) via ESMTP id PAA13296; Mon, 19 Jul 1999 15:05:31 -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 PAA24591 for linux-list; Mon, 19 Jul 1999 15:01:31 -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 PAA54524 for ; Mon, 19 Jul 1999 15:01:22 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (ralf@lappi.waldorf-gmbh.de) Received: from mailhost.uni-koblenz.de (mailhost.uni-koblenz.de [141.26.64.1]) 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 PAA08894 for ; Mon, 19 Jul 1999 15:01:17 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (ralf@lappi.waldorf-gmbh.de) Received: from lappi.waldorf-gmbh.de (cacc-19.uni-koblenz.de [141.26.131.19]) by mailhost.uni-koblenz.de (8.9.1/8.9.1) with ESMTP id AAA13740 for ; Tue, 20 Jul 1999 00:01:14 +0200 (MET DST) Received: (from ralf@localhost) by lappi.waldorf-gmbh.de (8.9.3/8.9.3) id AAA14039; Tue, 20 Jul 1999 00:00:25 +0200 Date: Tue, 20 Jul 1999 00:00:25 +0200 From: Ralf Baechle To: Edwin Hakkennes Cc: Eric Melville , linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Subject: Re: 200mhz indy Message-ID: <19990720000025.A13786@uni-koblenz.de> References: <37922879.C3136AE3@rigelfore.com> <199907191330.PAA06009@zaphod.et.tudelft.nl> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.4us In-Reply-To: <199907191330.PAA06009@zaphod.et.tudelft.nl>; from Edwin Hakkennes on Mon, Jul 19, 1999 at 03:30:53PM +0200 X-Accept-Language: de,en,fr Sender: owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Precedence: bulk Content-Length: 484 Lines: 12 On Mon, Jul 19, 1999 at 03:30:53PM +0200, Edwin Hakkennes wrote: > BTW: I'm trying to come up with recompiled rpm for the updates relative to > HardHat.

We've got a fix for one of the many libbfd coredump bugs in elf32-mips.c in our patchset of ftp.linux.sgi.com. I think it won't cure this particular case, however.

Current libbfd doesn't rely on it anymore. Guess it's time to bite the bullet and try to rebuild the entire system just using binutils-current from Cygnus CVS. Binutils, born to be fixed ... There is another bug in libbfd where section->owner is NULL which makes the linker do the segv boogy. It's being trigger by the linker options ``-lm -lieee'' when linking arbitrary code using the native linker. I didn't research that case further because I got detracted into GDB debugging when GDB started crashing while I was investigating that case ...
