As most of the Architectures (IP22, Decstation etc) have VERY special hardware and nothing in common with the "default pc architecture" wouldnt it be a good way to 1. Have a choice of ONE architecture to select (Most of them can coexist within the same kernel) 2. Depending on the selected Architecture include "config" scripts within their special directory (Probably common CPU Type and networking option, filesystem selection) 3.

BTW: Does ANYONE use the "I am using a crosscompiler" config flag ? I dont as i have a different name for my compiler (It assumes mips-linux- or mipsel-linux- but i have the full name mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-) - The old style method by inserting it into the Makefile works also.

I made sure that glibc now actually compiles even with 2.3.99-pre3 headers which stock 2.0 won't on any architecture. The full glibc patch is a bit too large to be posted to this list, so I'll just put it on oss.sgi.com after my arrival in Mountain View so that should be about Tuesday. The pause fix itself is a new pause(3) function which tries to use pause(2) where available. If that ever fails with ENOSYS then it will switch over to the emulation of the pause syscall. I'll also add the pause(2) syscall back to all kernel flavours which will ensure that either a libc or a kernel upgrade will fix the pause bug.

This is the fix: As we are still quiet experimental and nobody else complained about pause syscall wouldnt it be overkill to do a pause emulation ? Just fix the kernel and other glibc bugs and document this in the MIPS-FAQ that people seeing this problem should upgrade to . > This next libc release fixes all open bugs on my list except maybe a merge > with all one of the inofficial 2.0.7 releases that have been made by > non-FSF people.

I have made a glibc 2.0.7 package (debian) from the original slink debian package + the mips patches - I have problems building without hacking as binarys like "zic" etc dont work with the old glibc installed natively (They are compiled against the fresh glibc and run with the old glibc something IIRC so they segfault - Makefile bugs).

I wont post the full package list but i think the debian people will setup an apt-getable area within the next weeks. Currently no X or gtk based packages are available due to lack of XFree packages - I dont think ill port the debian 3.3.6 package but ill start working on XFree4 the next days. I havent set up an "debian autobuilder" but hopefully will do so the next weeks so we will have an up2date distribution all the time.

Two additional notes over what has already been mentioned in other postings. First, somebody else has made a libc release without telling me, that one has a higher version number this release even though it's older. I don't know about the differences. Second I changed rpm again such that it uses *.mips.rpm, not mipseb.rpm als package extension. This will make the assumption from many spec files that $RPM_ARCH-linux is a valid GNU-style architecture descriptor true also for big endian MIPS. This did eleminate most of the necessity to change spec files for big endian MIPS. Anyway, that's why the binary rpm packages again have the .mips.rpm extension.

If it has PCI slots, you can insert a PCMCIA or Cardbus bridging card.

Yes. There's even support for ATARI, Archimedes and SBUS. Unlike other subsystems, `PC-style hardware' is only a small section of the Config.in.

Perhaps this helps: the bootmem stuff in arch/mips/ddb5074/prom.c works fine. The DDB5074 has 64 MB of fixed non-upgradable memory at physical 0x00000000 virtual 0x80000000.

IIRC the Virtual/Physical mapping is on the Mips cpus 1:1 on bootup right ? So what would one pass to init_bootmem and co ? At the moment i see start 0x8800 and size 0xff85 Then - A bit later - the bitmap gets allocated (Free all - allocate/reserve back - Changed that - Not the fault) ~0x1ff4 bytes ~2 Pages - I tried to increase this (bootmap_size*4) but still in the mm/bootmem.c the machine crashes in the memset as it trys to memset to 0 from 88002000 and ~4MB ... The most interesting thing is that even if i increase the bootmap_size (*4) the memset begins at the same address - It seems that it doesnt care on allocation.

(The installer seemed to have a problem with the root password I entered.) I can now boot the Indigo2 with the 2.3.21 kernel (boot vmlinux root=/dev/sdb1 console=ttyS0) and see the kernel boot-up messages in the serial console. The last messages visible are: Freeing unused kernel memory: 48k freed Unable to find swap-space signature [this message appears four times] At this point, the hard drive is silent, and telnet from another machine elicits this response: Hard Hat Linux Hard Hat release 5.1 (Manhattan) Kernel 2.3.21 on a mips login: My attempted root login is then declared invalid. For my next trick I'll try pre-loading installfs/etc/passwd with a valid account, then re-running the installer. Is there any reason this shouldn't work?

The reason your root login is not validated, is because Redhat doesn't allow root logins over a tellnet session by default, and because of some stupid decission made once, it doesn't allow you to make a user account during installation. That's why you've had to change the setup-noarch.rpm to add a secure tty, to login as root over a telnet session. your /etc/passwd trick would also work Richard From owner-linuxmips@oss.sgi.com Thu Apr 6 01:25:17 2000 Received: by oss.sgi.com id ; Thu, 6 Apr 2000 01:25:07 -0700 Received: from deliverator.sgi.com ([204.94.214.10]:54067 "EHLO deliverator.sgi.com") by oss.sgi.com with ESMTP id ; Thu, 6 Apr 2000 01:24:41 -0700 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 BAA16639; Thu, 6 Apr 2000 01:19:58 -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 BAA03945 for linux-list; Thu, 6 Apr 2000 01:12:47 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (owner-linux@relay.engr.sgi.com) Received: from deliverator.sgi.com (deliverator.sgi.com [150.166.91.37]) by cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/970903.SGI.AUTOCF) via ESMTP id BAA63435 for ; Thu, 6 Apr 2000 01:12:46 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (flo@rfc822.org) Received: from noose.gt.owl.de (noose.gt.owl.de [62.52.19.4]) by deliverator.sgi.com (980309.SGI.8.8.8-aspam-6.2/980310.SGI-aspam) via ESMTP id BAA14530 for ; Thu, 6 Apr 2000 01:08:05 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (flo@rfc822.org) Received: by noose.gt.owl.de (Postfix, from userid 10) id 1DA597F4; Thu, 6 Apr 2000 09:59:35 +0200 (CEST) Received: by paradigm.rfc822.org (Postfix, from userid 1000) id B16008FC3; Wed, 5 Apr 2000 22:34:13 +0200 (CEST) Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2000 22:34:13 +0200 From: Florian Lohoff To: linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Subject: cause of early indigo2 crash Message-ID: <20000405223413.B996@paradigm.rfc822.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.95.3i Organization: rfc822 - pure communication Sender: owner-linuxmips@oss.sgi.com Precedence: bulk Return-Path: X-Orcpt: rfc822;linuxmips-outgoing Hi, i discovered that the prom of the indigo2 reports 2 MEMTYPE_FREE segments - One at 08002000 and the other at 88000000 - The second one at least 16 times larger - If i exclude the first segment from beeing freed and thus used the kernel boots much further - This is what i did in the arch/mips/arc/memory.c for (i = 0; pblocks[i].size; i++) if (pblocks[i].type == MEMTYPE_FREE && pblocks[i].base != 0x8002000) free_bootmem(pblocks[i].base, pblocks[i].size); Now i get a very different crash - After SCSI Detection i get scsi::resize_dma_pool: WARNING, dma_sectors=0, wanted=96, scaling scsi::resize_dma_pool: WARNING, dma_sectors=0, wanted=80, scaling scsi::resize_dma_pool: WARNING, dma_sectors=0, wanted=64, scaling scsi::resize_dma_pool: WARNING, dma_sectors=0, wanted=48, scaling WARNING, not enough memory, pool not expanded Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00000000, epc == 880cc668, ra == 880cc5d8 [...] Thats it - Might the first area be DMA bounce buffer only which have to be initialized in the memory controller ?

Usually it tells the function where it crashes. :) I dont have an System.map available - But i think i know the cause of the crash - I think the arch/mips/arc/memory.c forgets to allocate/not-free the memory the kernel - I dont think the ARC Prom is able to mark the kernel memory different - But i cant see a location where it explicitly reserves/allocates the kernel pages. Dec and ddb to something like free_bootmem(bootmap,&_end,size-_end) - Nothing like that in the arc things ... They free all memory segments the ARC Prom gives back as "MEMTYPE_FREE" (arc_contigm, arc_freem) and then it just takes the largest segment (there are 2 segments - before and after the arc-prom segment) and installs the bootmem-map in there. The next alloc and memset causes the crash as it allocates from 88002000 which is the end of the mem map - My suspicion is (Which ill try tonight) that the memory map with 2 pages is that small that is just overwrites parts of the kernel with no effect - The next alloc and memset is 4MB - This destroys the kernel completely and though causes a crash. > I see these panics sometimes as well.

Now i have a different problems - The kernel halts on further boot with no memory for SCSI DMA. This is due to my indigo2 having physical memory from 0x08002000 - 0x08740000 0x08200000 - 0x0ff85000 Now the official DMA able memory from include/asm/dma.h is #define MAX_DMA_ADDRESS (PAGE_OFFSET + 0x01000000) which is 0x81000000 which is completely out of range for the SGI. I now just changed this to 8f000000 but what is the correct way to solve this and what is the correct dma able memory (I suppose all memory is dma-able). -- Florian Lohoff flo@rfc822.org +49-subject-2-change "Technology is a constant battle between manufacturers producing bigger and more idiot-proof systems and nature producing bigger and better idiots."

Its in drivers/scsi/scsi_dma.c It happens due to no available scsi dma buffers which is caused by the fact that MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is below the lowest free memory segment (Kernel overlaps). If i increase the MAX_DMA_ADDRESS include/asm/dma.h. As most of the drivers dont use the MAX_DMA_ADDRESS (zone allocator should have made it obsolete) i suggest leaving it like it is and changing arch/mips/mm/init.c to: #if defined(CONFIG_ISA) || defined(CONFIG_PCI) if (low < max_dma) zones_size[ZONE_DMA] = low; else { zones_size[ZONE_DMA] = max_dma; zones_size[ZONE_NORMAL] = low - max_dma; } #else zones_size[ZONE_DMA] = low; #endif as the dma.h comment says that this only applies to standard PC dma controllers. If no one objects ill commit this.

This change is not acceptable for the IP22 because the Indigo2 has EISA slots. When only using the builtin SCSI hostadapter nothing should use GFP_DMA; on IP22 the entire memory is DMA-able.

It does request DMA pages which are not available within the zone allocator or at least not because the kernel occupies the dma able pages with the setup above. That causes the SCSI Partition scan to fail as scsi_dma.c requests space for 96 dmaable sectors which are not available. A couple of locations in the generic scsi code call scsi_resize_dma_pool which itself tries to get DMA memory via __get_free_pages(GFP_ATOMIC | GFP_DMA, 0); Which trys to get pages from ZONE_DMA which itself contains no free pages on MY indigo2 as the kernel occoupies the handful pages in the default specified range. This causes scsi_resize_dma_pool to fail but the locations i checked in the generic scsi code do not check for return values. BTW: Are the EISA slots supported ? Does the "Default" MAX_DMA_ADDRESS apply to that DMA controller ? My above solution just declares all memory to DMA-able memory. Solution ?

I think there's a gdb tree in the CVS repository on oss.sgi.com. Try to check out the gdb module. I have been using gdb to cross debug my MIPS machine so it was at least functional last summer. I have a patch that adds kdb support do the MIPS kernel, but I don't think it's finished. Scott Lurndal was hacking on it a couple of months ago and I can send it to you if you're interested.

I can load the kernel from sash and it actually starts at kernel_entry (whow) and - no wonder - crashes somewhere in init_arch (because I didn't change anything there ...). Now, it would of course be nice to have some kind of debugging output early on. Does anyone know if the R3k Indigo has the same ARCS console semantics as the Indy ? I.e. there is a PROMBLOCK struct at address 0xa0001000 (as defined in include/asm-mips/sgiarcs.h) which points to romvec which I can then use to dereference PROM functions ? Or is it something completely different ? Of course, if someone unexpectedly finds some Indigo R3k hardware docs somewhere, I'd appreciate it ;).

Nothing in struct semaphore guarantees this alignment, and in fact, struct tty_struct has a struct semaphore that is not 64-bit aligned. Depending on how a tty is used (I think it's a non-blocking read that triggers the problem, in drivers/char/n_tty.c), the kernel will attempt an unaligned lld, it will cause an address error, and the handler in arch/mips/kernel/unaligned.c will kill current with SIGBUS (since lld/scd cannot be properly simulated). The quick-and-dirty workaround is to put 32 bits of padding before the atomic_read member of struct tty_struct. Of course, that doesn't fix the real problem, and there may well be other non-64-bit aligned struct semaphore's out there. A proper fix would be to either hack up struct semaphore to guarantee dualword alignment, or rework the was down_trylock does its thing. While I'm on the topic of unaligned handling, this behavior of sending SIGBUS, SIGSEGV, or SIGILL to current on unaligned accesses seems to me like incorrect behavior if the original fault happened in kernel mode. The above example of an unaligned lld sending SIGBUS is not too bad, since the fault does happen while doing something on behalf of the current process. Consider this example, though: If kernel code attempts an unaligned word read to virtual address 0x00000001 (for example), the unaligned handler will attempt to simulate with 2 aligned reads, which will fault, and since the unaligned handler catches those faults, it will wind up sending SIGSEGV to current. I would think that condition should cause an oops, since that's what an equivalent aligned access would do, and especially since the access may have had nothing to do with current (it may happen from an interrupt, for example).

Well, as you can imagine I have absolutely no idea, but if you have a chance to disassemble the beginning of the PROM (0xbfc00000) you can easily check if the Indigo provides callbacks a la MIPS (very much like the DS3100). If you find something like: 0: 0bf0008a j fc00228 4: 00000000 nop 8: 0bf0012a j fc004a8 c: 00000000 nop 10: 0bf0013f j fc004fc 14: 00000000 nop 18: 0bf0012c j fc004b0 1c: 00000000 nop (and I wouldn't be surprised if you did) then you should have a look at include/asm-mips/mipsprom.h and the startup code in arch/mips/dec/prom. -- Regards, Harald From owner-linuxmips@oss.sgi.com Mon Apr 17 09:54:42 2000 Received: by oss.sgi.com id ; Mon, 17 Apr 2000 09:54:22 -0700 Received: from pneumatic-tube.sgi.com ([204.94.214.22]:60248 "EHLO pneumatic-tube.sgi.com") by oss.sgi.com with ESMTP id ; Mon, 17 Apr 2000 09:53:56 -0700 Received: from cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (cthulhu.engr.sgi.com [192.26.80.2]) by pneumatic-tube.sgi.com (980327.SGI.8.8.8-aspam/980310.SGI-aspam) via ESMTP id JAA03841; Mon, 17 Apr 2000 09:57:55 -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 JAA23978 for linux-list; Mon, 17 Apr 2000 09:35:07 -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 JAA28040 for ; Mon, 17 Apr 2000 09:35:03 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (Harald.Koerfgen@home.ivm.de) Received: from mail.ivm.net (mail.ivm.net [62.204.1.4]) 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 JAA06829 for ; Mon, 17 Apr 2000 09:35:01 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (Harald.Koerfgen@home.ivm.de) Received: from franz.no.dom (port184.duesseldorf.ivm.de [195.247.65.184]) by mail.ivm.net (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id SAA25110; Mon, 17 Apr 2000 18:34:32 +0200 X-To: linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.4.0 on Linux X-Priority: 3 (Normal) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="_=XFMail.1.4.0.Linux:000417182219:353=_" In-Reply-To: Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2000 18:33:34 +0200 (CEST) Reply-To: Harald Koerfgen Organization: none From: Harald Koerfgen To: Mike Klar Subject: RE: Unaligned address handling, and the cause of that login prob Cc: linux-mips@fnet.fr, linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com Sender: owner-linuxmips@oss.sgi.com Precedence: bulk Return-Path: X-Orcpt: rfc822;linuxmips-outgoing This message is in MIME format --_=XFMail.1.4.0.Linux:000417182219:353=_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii On 16-Apr-00 Mike Klar wrote: > While tracking down a random memory corruption bug, I stumbled across the > cause of that telnet/ssh problem in recent kernels reported about a month > ago: > > The version of down_trylock() for CPUs with support LL/SC assumes that > struct semaphore is 64-bit aligned, since it accesses count and waking as a > single dualword (with lld/scd). Good spotted. This is perfectly in line with my observation that telnet/ssh worked perfectly well if you built a kernel without CONFIG_CPU_HAS_LLSC.

I'll put __attribute__ ((aligned(64))) to the structure which will fix this. This will have to be changed again when we add support for 32-bit processors with ll / sc instructions but for now we don't support them, so it's the right thing. > While I'm on the topic of unaligned handling, this behavior of sending > SIGBUS, SIGSEGV, or SIGILL to current on unaligned accesses seems to me like > incorrect behavior if the original fault happened in kernel mode. > The above > example of an unaligned lld sending SIGBUS is not too bad, since the fault > does happen while doing something on behalf of the current process. The assumption is that the kernel should never ever use ll, lld, sc and scd on improperly aligned memory objects, so not checking is ok. In other words it's it's perfectly ok if the kernel dies or behaves silly following such a can-not-happen case. Note that while we don't attemt to handle missaligned ll/sc/lld/scd instructions because that would break atomicity on SMP machines. On the other side again emulating them on CPUs that don't have them at all like the R3000 is ok because those are not used on SMP systems. That is not counting the oddball SMP systems which we'll probably not support ever.

I used egcs 1.0.3a and binutils 2.8.1 + mips patches to create the kernel + modules ... Might there be a bug in egcs and/or binutils ? ----- Forwarded message from Keith Owens ----- From: Keith Owens To: Florian Lohoff Subject: Re: Bug#62617: depmod segfaults on mips/mipsel Message-ID: <3565.956140102@ocs3.ocs-net> The problem is some input objects that do not conform to the ELF specification that modutils is using, modutils is written to Elf 1.1. Several of your modules have a mismatch between a field in the section headers and the data. In a section with type SHT_SYMTAB, the sh_info field should contain "One greater than the symbol table index of the last local symbol (binding STB_LOCAL)", obj_load uses sh_info to allocate the local symbol table. In st.o the symtab section has an sh_info of 10 but there are a lot more than 10 local symbols. This overflowed the local_symtab array, overwrote the next malloc area and broke free(). This patch lists the offending symbols instead of getting SEGV. I will include it in modutils 2.3.11 as a sanity check. However it drops the extra local symbols so the module may not load anyway. Are you using an unusual set of binutils? I think the next step is to pass this info to the MIPS binutils people and get them to check the format of your st.o object, with particular reference to the number of local symbols. for i in `find /lib/modules/2.3.99-pre3/ -name '*.o'`; do echo $i ; /sbin/depmod -ne $i ; done lists a lot of local symbol table overflows.

Note that I didn't actually *write* the code in question, but having rewritten it fairly recently, I think I understand what's going on. The main thing to keep in mind here is that the "mini" form of the FPU emulator (the one in softfp.S) is an incomplete emulation of IEEE FP. Forcing flush-to-zero for denormalized results isn't really kosher, since that's supposed to be under the control of the application, but it avoids having to compute denormalized results in softfp.S, so the trap handler, as an expedient, changes the application's rounding mode in hopes that the problem was in fact a denormal result. If that "works", the application will get an incorrect answer, but one can hope that no one will notice ;-). If, having tried that trick, the trap handler gets invoked again, things are more serious, and the limited emulator is invoked. >arch/mips/kernel/traps.c > > 354 printk(KERN_DEBUG "Unimplemented exception for insn %08x at 0x%08lx in %s.\n", > 355 insn, regs->cp0_epc, current->comm); > 356 simfp(insn); > 357 } > 358 > 359 if (compute_return_epc(regs)) > 360 goto out; > 361 //force_sig(SIGFPE, current); > 362 printk(KERN_DEBUG "Should send SIGFPE to %s\n", current->comm); > 363 > 364 out: > 365 unlock_kernel(); > > >Might it be that compute_return_epc in branch.c does not support >the mentioned instructions (FP instructions ?) and though can not >calculate the correct epc ? I never did figure out why that code is in there. Perhaps it dates from a previous version of compute_return_epc(). The current version does try to emulate the branch-on-floating-condition instructions, and can only fail if the EPC is misaligned or if there is an error fetching the instruction from user space (which should have been caught earlier in the FP trap handler if it was actually a problem), and as such the force_sig() should use the value returned by compute_return_epc() as the signal number, and not SIGFPE, and the signal should really be sent to the process, not just noted as a signal wannabe. I was going to make another cleanup pass over traps.c this week, so it looks like you've found me another nit to excise. (Although we've got the full-blown Algorithmics emulator in our source base - coming soon to a repository near you - we kept the old stuff around for people wanting to build for a minimal footprint).

My previous response was a bit confused, because I was looking at our already-modified code and reconstructing the old logic. Looking at the more-or-less-current 2.3 tree, I see the further bug to which you are referring. There *should* be another goto following the simfp() call. The code that does the compute_return_epc() followed by the force_sig(SIGFP) should be executed in all cases where the emulator was not invoked, which is to say in the cases of real FP exceptions, but not if the mini-emulator has handled the situation. Presumably, the absence of that bypass path was causing bogus SIGFPE's, prompting someone to comment out the force_sig() in all cases and add the printk(), but that's not the correct behaviour. The overall handler (MIPS version) looks like this: (and yes, it still can be improved, as I mentioned earlier...) /* * XXX Delayed fp exceptions when doing a lazy ctx switch XXX */ void do_fpe(struct pt_regs *regs, unsigned long fcr31) { #ifdef CONFIG_MIPS_FPU_EMULATOR if(!(mips_cpu.options & MIPS_CPU_FPU)) panic("Floating Point Exception with No FPU"); #endif #ifdef CONFIG_MIPS_FPE_MODULE if (fpe_handler != NULL) { fpe_handler(regs, fcr31); return; } #endif lock_kernel(); if (fcr31 & FPU_CSR_UNI_X) { #ifdef CONFIG_MIPS_FPU_EMULATOR extern void r4xx0_save_fp(struct task_struct *); extern void r4xx0_restore_fp(struct task_struct *); int sig; /* * Unimplemented operation exception. If we've got the * Full software emulator on-board, let's use it... * * Force FPU to dump state into task/thread context. * We're moving a lot of data here for what is probably * a single instruction, but the alternative is to * pre-decode the FP register operands before invoking * the emulator, which seems a bit extreme for what * should be an infrequent event. */ r4xx0_save_fp(current); /* Run the emulator */ sig = fpu_emulator_cop1Handler(0, regs); /* Restore the hardware register state */ r4xx0_restore_fp(current); /* If something went wrong, signal */ if(sig) { force_sig(sig, current); } #else /* Else use mini-emulator */ extern void simfp(int); unsigned long pc; unsigned int insn; /* Retry instruction with flush to zero ... */ if (!(fcr31 & (1<<24))) { printk("Setting flush to zero for %s.\n", current->comm); fcr31 &= ~FPU_CSR_UNI_X; fcr31 |= (1<<24); __asm__ __volatile__( "ctc1\t%0,$31" : /* No outputs */ : "r" (fcr31)); goto out; } pc = regs->cp0_epc + ((regs->cp0_cause & CAUSEF_BD) ? 4 : 0); if(pc & 0x80000000) insn = *(unsigned int *)pc; else if (get_user(insn, (unsigned int *)pc)) { /* XXX Can this happen? */ force_sig(SIGSEGV, current); } printk(KERN_DEBUG "Unimplemented exception for insn %08x at 0x%8lx in %s.\n", insn, regs->cp0_epc, current->comm); simfp(MIPSInst(insn)); compute_return_epc(regs); #endif /* CONFIG_MIPS_FPU_EMULATOR */ goto out; } if (compute_return_epc(regs)) { goto out; } force_sig(SIGFPE, current); printk(KERN_DEBUG "Sent SIGFPE to %s\n", current->comm); out: unlock_kernel(); } From owner-linuxmips@oss.sgi.com Thu Apr 20 10:18:09 2000 Received: by oss.sgi.com id ; Thu, 20 Apr 2000 10:17:59 -0700 Received: from deliverator.sgi.com ([204.94.214.10]:26140 "EHLO deliverator.sgi.com") by oss.sgi.com with ESMTP id ; Thu, 20 Apr 2000 10:17:50 -0700 Received: from nodin.corp.sgi.com (nodin.corp.sgi.com [192.26.51.193]) by deliverator.sgi.com (980309.SGI.8.8.8-aspam-6.2/980310.SGI-aspam) via ESMTP id KAA13322; Thu, 20 Apr 2000 10:13:05 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com) Received: from cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (cthulhu.engr.sgi.com [192.26.80.2]) by nodin.corp.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/980728.SGI.AUTOCF) via ESMTP id KAA59348; Thu, 20 Apr 2000 10:17:19 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from majordomo-owner@localhost) by cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/970903.SGI.AUTOCF) id KAA64541 for linux-list; Thu, 20 Apr 2000 10:07:35 -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 KAA77275 for ; Thu, 20 Apr 2000 10:07:33 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (kevink@mips.com) Received: from mx.mips.com (mx.mips.com [206.31.31.226]) 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 KAA07327 for ; Thu, 20 Apr 2000 10:07:33 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (kevink@mips.com) Received: from newman.mips.com (newman [206.31.31.8]) by mx.mips.com (8.9.3/8.9.0) with ESMTP id KAA11388; Thu, 20 Apr 2000 10:07:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from satanas (satanas [192.168.236.12]) by newman.mips.com (8.9.3/8.9.0) with SMTP id KAA18150; Thu, 20 Apr 2000 10:07:31 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <012b01bfaaeb$27911800$0ceca8c0@satanas.mips.com> From: "Kevin D.

Yep, unwinding MIPS stackframes is not possible for the general case unless you use debug information. We don't want that, so have to use an alternative solution that is fairly fragile and you're observing yet another case of this. Fixing ...

The first one is fairly old, was already used in RISC/os and is written in assembler. I'm not sure if it can properly deal with MIPS IV. It's successor is written in C and is what's currently being used in IRIX, is pretty clean and maintainable code. It was clearly written with a heavily optimizing compiler such as SGI's in mind and I assume that it won't perform well without major restructuring when compiled with GCC. On the other side it's as far as I know the only package that gets all the cornercases right.

Sure. The "IN" and "OUT" macros used to simulate x86 I/O instructions operating on ISA I/O space use mips_io_port_base as the base address for the memory-mapped I/O access to "non memory-mapped I/O" (in the PC sense) addresses. Since MIPS platforms don't always have the same address space layout as a standard PC, mips_io_port_base is not a constant, but a variable declared in arch/mips/kernel/setup.c and initialized (if a non-zero value is required) in the platform setup code. So arguably, what you need to do to make those macros work in user mode, is to have some kind of library module that you can link into the application that contains a declaration of mips_io_port_base, initialized to the correct value for your platform. >[...] >make CFLAGS="-O2 -g -Wall -D_REENTRANT" >make[1]: Entering directory `/home/builder/build/pileup-1.1' >gcc -O2 -g -Wall -D_REENTRANT -c AdLib.c >gcc -O2 -g -Wall -D_REENTRANT -c pileup.c >gcc -O2 -g -Wall -D_REENTRANT -o pileup pileup.o AdLib.o -lm -lpthread >pileup.o: In function `stop_thread': >/home/builder/build/pileup-1.1/pileup.c:229: undefined reference to `ioperm' >/home/builder/build/pileup-1.1/pileup.c:230: undefined reference to `ioperm' >pileup.o: In function `start_thread': >/home/builder/build/pileup-1.1/pileup.c:289: undefined reference to `ioperm' >/home/builder/build/pileup-1.1/pileup.c:290: undefined reference to `ioperm' >pileup.o: In function `main': >/home/builder/build/pileup-1.1/pileup.c:625: undefined reference to `ioperm' >pileup.o:/home/builder/build/pileup-1.1/pileup.c:626: more undefined references to `ioperm' follow >AdLib.o: In function `wr_register': >/usr/include/asm/io.h:308: undefined reference to `mips_io_port_base' >/usr/include/asm/io.h:304: undefined reference to `mips_io_port_base' >/usr/include/asm/io.h:304: undefined reference to `mips_io_port_base' >AdLib.o: In function `AdLib_found': >/usr/include/asm/io.h:304: undefined reference to `mips_io_port_base' >AdLib.o: In function `ºm\*ºm\und': >/usr/include/asm/io.h:304: undefined reference to `mips_io_port_base' >make[1]: *** [pileup] Error 1 >make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/builder/build/pileup-1.1' >make: *** [build] Error 2 >[...] > >Flo >-- >Florian Lohoff flo@rfc822.org +49-subject-2-change >"Technology is a constant battle between manufacturers producing bigger and >more idiot-proof systems and nature producing bigger and better idiots." > From owner-linuxmips@oss.sgi.com Sun Apr 23 14:57:11 2000 Received: by oss.sgi.com id ; Sun, 23 Apr 2000 14:57:02 -0700 Received: from pneumatic-tube.sgi.com ([204.94.214.22]:21353 "EHLO pneumatic-tube.sgi.com") by oss.sgi.com with ESMTP id ; Sun, 23 Apr 2000 14:56:47 -0700 Received: from nodin.corp.sgi.com (nodin.corp.sgi.com [192.26.51.193]) by pneumatic-tube.sgi.com (980327.SGI.8.8.8-aspam/980310.SGI-aspam) via ESMTP id PAA09128; Sun, 23 Apr 2000 15:00:52 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (owner-linux@cthulhu.engr.sgi.com) Received: from cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (cthulhu.engr.sgi.com [192.26.80.2]) by nodin.corp.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/980728.SGI.AUTOCF) via ESMTP id OAA64497; Sun, 23 Apr 2000 14:56:16 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from majordomo-owner@localhost) by cthulhu.engr.sgi.com (980427.SGI.8.8.8/970903.SGI.AUTOCF) id OAA45139 for linux-list; Sun, 23 Apr 2000 14:40:42 -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 OAA32564 for ; Sun, 23 Apr 2000 14:40:40 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (geert@linux-m68k.org) Received: from styx.cs.kuleuven.ac.be (styx.cs.kuleuven.ac.be [134.58.40.3]) 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 OAA05734 for ; Sun, 23 Apr 2000 14:40:38 -0700 (PDT) mail_from (geert@linux-m68k.org) Received: from cassiopeia.home (geert@dialup006.cs.kuleuven.ac.be [134.58.47.135]) by styx.cs.kuleuven.ac.be (8.9.3/8.9.3) with ESMTP id XAA14755; Sun, 23 Apr 2000 23:40:31 +0200 (MET DST) Received: from localhost (geert@localhost) by cassiopeia.home (8.9.3/8.9.3/Debian/GNU) with ESMTP id XAA01852; Sun, 23 Apr 2000 23:40:26 +0200 X-Authentication-Warning: cassiopeia.home: geert owned process doing -bs Date: Sun, 23 Apr 2000 23:40:26 +0200 (CEST) From: Geert Uytterhoeven To: "Kevin D.

This is similar like on other platforms, like e.g. PPC. I think the best solution is to provide the value of mips_io_port_base through some /proc interface, so userspace knows where ISA I/O space is located. Of course this is best coordinated across the different architectures where this problem occurs (e.g. PPC). > >[...] > >make CFLAGS="-O2 -g -Wall -D_REENTRANT" > >make[1]: Entering directory `/home/builder/build/pileup-1.1' > >gcc -O2 -g -Wall -D_REENTRANT -c AdLib.c > >gcc -O2 -g -Wall -D_REENTRANT -c pileup.c > >gcc -O2 -g -Wall -D_REENTRANT -o pileup pileup.o AdLib.o -lm -lpthread > >pileup.o: In function `stop_thread': > >/home/builder/build/pileup-1.1/pileup.c:229: undefined reference to `ioperm' And we don't have ioperm() on architectures that don't have special I/O instructions. Just for reference, this is an example of what I use on PPC to access ISA I/O space (please also look at include/asm-ppc/io.h, which resembles a bit to the MIPS version). --- tulip/tulip-diag.c.orig Wed Mar 22 09:30:07 2000 +++ tulip/tulip-diag.c Wed Mar 22 18:18:22 2000 @@ -42,6 +42,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include #include #include @@ -168,6 +169,56 @@ static int scan_proc_pci(int card_num); static int parse_media_type(const char *capabilities); static int get_media_index(const char *name); + +#ifdef __powerpc__ +unsigned long isa_io_base; +static int io_fd = -1; + +#define REAL_ISA_IO_BASE 0xf8000000 /* for CHRP LongTrail */ +#define REAL_ISA_IO_SIZE 0x01000000 + +#warning Make sure REAL_ISA_IO_BASE is the correct base address for ISA I/O space! + +static void enable_isa_io(void) +{ + if ((io_fd = open("/dev/mem", O_RDWR)) == -1) { + perror("open /dev/mem"); + exit(1); + } + isa_io_base = (unsigned long)mmap(0, REAL_ISA_IO_SIZE, + PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, + io_fd, REAL_ISA_IO_BASE); + if (isa_io_base == (unsigned long)-1) { + fprintf(stderr, "mmap 0x%08x: %s", REAL_ISA_IO_BASE, strerror(errno)); + exit(1); + } +} + +static void disable_isa_io(void) +{ + if (isa_io_base != (unsigned long)-1) { + munmap((caddr_t)isa_io_base, REAL_ISA_IO_SIZE); + isa_io_base = (unsigned long)-1; + } + if (io_fd != -1) { + close(io_fd); + io_fd = -1; + } +} +#else +static void enable_isa_io(void) +{ + /* Get access to all of I/O space. */ + if (iopl(3) < 0) { + perror("Network adapter diagnostic: iopl()"); + fprintf(stderr, "This program must be run as root.\n"); + exit(1); + } +} + +#define disable_isa_io() do { } while (0) +#endif /* !__powerpc__ */ + int main(int argc, char **argv) @@ -244,12 +295,7 @@ return 3; } - /* Get access to all of I/O space. */ - if (iopl(3) < 0) { - perror("Network adapter diagnostic: iopl()"); - fprintf(stderr, "This program must be run as root.\n"); - return 2; - } + enable_isa_io(); /* Try to read a likely port_base value from /proc/pci. */ if (port_base) { @@ -270,6 +316,7 @@ " '-e' to show EEPROM contents, -ee for parsed contents,\n" " or '-m' or '-mm' to show MII management registers.\n"); + disable_isa_io(); return 0; } Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert -- Geert Uytterhoeven -- Linux/{m68k~Amiga,PPC~CHRP} -- geert@linux-m68k.org In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker.

Indigo2 - I had the problem that the first alloc_bootmem i think got back pages in the kernel marked as "free" - The resulting memset let the kernel crash. My solution was to mark the kernel pages as reserved. BTW: What does break on indy ? Does it crash ? Does it hang in SCSI Detection ? The SCSI detection is a different thing - The problem is that the kernel gets loaded in a area which is from the MAX_DMA_ADDRESS DMAable memory. Afterwards no pages are left for DMA and the generic scsi layer is not able to get dma able pages (from zone 0 GFP_DMA) which results in error messages in the scsi layer. I solved this by changing mm/init.c to put ALL pages into zone 0 as from my understanding the MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is only aplicable to PC style DMA Controllers which the indy/indigo2 hopefully dont have. For this patch i didnt apply to CVS nobody gave back and usefull comment.

One might check if you walk through the memory table the arc gives back and free it via the bootmem api you can check whether you got back a memory chunk which contains the kernel (Or overlaps) and realloc it after freeing or just not free it up.

A lot of has changed between glibc 2.0 and 2.1 (and also between 2.1 and 2.2). I've decided to port glibc 2.2 for MIPS. This involved a number of patches and but I don't have the time to backport everything - and I will not support such a backport at all. All my glibc 2.2 patches have been added to the glibc archives and therefore will be in the official sources of 2.2.

He than was astonished on the large number of VCE. I than searched all my Mips books for an definition of those exceptions. But i dont think i currently understand the cause of those exceptions. BTW: [flo@resume flo]$ uptime && cat /proc/cpuinfo 2:55pm up 13 days, 20 min, 3 users, load average: 1.15, 1.09, 1.01 cpu : MIPS cpu model : R4000SC V6.0 system type : SGI Indy BogoMIPS : 124.93 byteorder : big endian unaligned accesses : 90 wait instruction : no microsecond timers : no extra interrupt vector : no hardware watchpoint : yes VCED exceptions : 130546469 VCEI exceptions : 36073607 On a medium loaded machine i see 40-50 VCEDs per second. Now i read in the "Mips R4000 Users`s Manual" page 133 ------ Cause: A Virtual Coherency exception occurs when one of the following conditions is true: - a primary cache miss hits in the secondary cache - bits 14:12 of the virtual address were not equal to the corresponding bits of the PIdx field of the secondary cache tag. - the cache algorithm for the page specifies that the page is cached. ------ The "Mips Risc Architecture" says that ALL conditions are to be met which i trust more :) As a resume - The exception is taken when the index of the 1st and the 2nd level cache are not identical - Right ? So - why is there a mismatch ? Might it be due to some invalidation of the 1st (and not the 2nd) level cache ? As the exception is taken quiet often and the "Mips Risc Architecture" states "Software can avoid the cost of this trap by using constistent virtual primary cache indexes to access the same physical data". Currently i dont think whats the exact cause of this exception and a probably optimization which brings this down.

Then all areas that are free as per ARC(S) firmware get freed. The kernel itself should of course not be part of those areas. Then even later once again as part of free_initmem() the rest of the ARC(S) memory gets freed, that's all the firmware temporary areas. Again the kernel memory should not reside in any of those areas. So I can't make any sense out of your changes?

All in all I think that given the work that has been invested into making a solid 2.2 port 2.2 might soon be the better choice than 2.0 and source compatibility issues should make a port of 2.1 mostly a non-issue.

If my builds of 2.1 are any indication: 2.0 may still be the better choice on very space-constrained platforms until there are good options for reducing the size of 2.2. I mean, 2.2 is not huge, but on devices with 2M non-volatile store *total*, it's an obvious target. I am not volunteering to work on this (yet), but I suspect that people who care intensely about size will have to start digging around in the link maps. H. J. Lu has done some of the work in this direction already. On the other hand, maybe the really tiny devices will go away.

I would help searching as I've got such a box and want to run Linux on it (instead of IRIX 5.2;) Btw, my box has a card added which has transceivers vor glass cables. Does anybody know what this is (FDDI or 10MBit ethernet...)?

I'll just attach the patch with what you get the kernel to work. Following things get changes: - Move __initcall(rs_init) to drivers/char/sgiserial.c This is obvious and rs_init in mips/sgi/kernel/setup.c is definitly only a dirty hack i introduced - Do a different (probably incorrect but working) memory setup - I had the problem of not having any DMAable pages after initialization. Now ALL pages get into ZONE_DMA which might be right ( I surrounded this by CONFIG_ISA and CONFIG_PCI as the PCee controllers mostly have DMA limits ) - Call init_serial_console even if CONFIG_SERIAL isnt set (but CONFIG_SGI_SERIAL) - Remove the console initialisation from sgi/kernel/setup.c as this hmmm - isnt the thing i think is correct. Normally a kernel "console=" parameter should override the setup of the prom (i have ArcEnv = g but want serial console) TODO: - Cleanup of mips/arc/memory.c changes for kernel allocation I seem to have luck to get the only broken prom version on the planet not allocating the kernel space. So - prevent allocating already allocated pages or ignorant freeing of ARC memory chunks for some broken proms. - Clean way of setting the console (Arc Console Env as fallback and priotity to console= command line and support for the major 5 minor 1 console device like on i386 etc ... I would like to have some comments on the different fragments.

As some of you will have noticed, I checked the FPU emulation machinery of for the MIPS 2.2 kernel into the oss.sgi.com repository earlier this week. Since then, I've been working on merging in the changes to the other kernel modules (most importantly traps.c, but a number of others) necessary to integrate it into the kernel. I had hoped to keep it to a subset of the mods and fixes we've made at MIPS, but as is often the case, there are chains of interdependency. I cannot spare the time to re-engineer everything to isolate the FP emulation support. In particular, I'm not going to back-out the changes that were made to eliminate the (intrinsically unsafe) use of bitfields for instruction decoding. So, here's the deal. Either I will merge the totality of our mods into the 2.2 repository, or I will leave things as they are now, and leave it to others to re-implement what we did at MIPS (and which can be ownloaded from ftp://ftp.mips.com/pub/linux/kernel ). My inclination is to check the stuff in and get it over with, but this *will* create some differences with the 2.3 tree that might confuse some people. It will also be the case that there I cannot test all known configurations - indeed, as far as SGI boxes go, I can only test on an Indy - and risk leaving some minor problems to be cleaned up by someone else with the appropriate platform. So it those sorts of prospects scare you, speak up now. Regards, Kevin K. __ Kevin D.

FYI, on PPC some people are working on kernel size optimization, ranging from automatically throwing away never used functions and data at link time to getting rid of all the kernel messages (I heard that's about 150 kB of textual data).

Attached a small test program that generates a large number of vced exceptions. It's causing aliases with the page cache and these are not covered by my patch. > Currently i dont think whats the exact cause of this exception and > a probably optimization which brings this down. The easiest part of the solution is choosing apropriate addresses for all memory mappings without forced addresses, that is mmap(2) and mmap2(2) without MAP_FIXED. A patch which fixes this part of the problem is attached. This patch does not fix other types of aliases like mmap(2) and mmap2(2) with MAP_FIXED or aliases between multiple mappings out of the page cache. Users of R2000 / R3000 / R7000 / R10000 CPUs can ignore this whole thread, those CPUs don't have such incredibly f*cked caches.

Apropriate placement of mappings in the address space isn't always possible. MAP_FIXED is one example. Aliases in the page cache are harder to handle. If one of the page cache mappings is writable then readers may even observe stale data or in worst case stale data being written to disk. Btw, the creators of the MIPS ABI were smart, they specified a sufficiently large value for SHMLBA such that we don't need to care about SysV IPC.

I've heard of the r8000, is that the same? Stupid answer: No, otherwise they'd have the same name :-) The R8000 was some kind of CPU hack which SGI came up with when the R4400 performance was begining to look bad in comparison to the Alphas and the R10000 project still would have taken quite some time. It was featuring roughly the integer performance and twice or trice the fp performance of a 250MHz R4400 while running at just 75 - 90 MHz. It was used only by SGI. The R7000 is kind of a successor to the R5000 featuring roughly R10000 performance but at a much lower price. This was developed by either IDT or QED mostly for embedded purposes.

I don't have hard numbers nor hardware, so I had to rely on the `hard facts' that others had given to me. In any case, the race stays unequal since the newest child of the R10000 family, the 400MHz R12000, will also enter the game soon if it isn't even already shipping.

Sadly, I've been handed a more urgent (and more to the point, paid) assignment, and won't be able to do anything about this a quickly as I would like. I note that you've posted a patch, Ralf, so one can hope that it will deal with Florian's problem. >Apropriate placement of mappings in the address space isn't always possible. >MAP_FIXED is one example. Aliases in the page cache are harder to handle. >If one of the page cache mappings is writable then readers may even observe >stale data or in worst case stale data being written to disk. mmap() is allowed to fail. I would think that, if someone tries to force an unsafe mapping, one should give them EINVAL if one doesn't want to deal with the special case otherwise, or create a copy-on-write clone in a safe physical page if one wants to be extra-specially nice...
