General protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP

2016-10-31 Thread Daniel Guillermo Bareiro
Hi all!

A few minutes ago I just experienced a horrible crash on one of my
computers with Debian Jessie:

I would report at Debian BTS.

Meanwhile, for testing purposes, you can get a new kernel (from the 
backports or by self-compiling sources in kernel.org), install in 
paralell and check if the problem persists.

Strange USB issue on 6.0.4 : kernel:[1202001.893158] Oops: 0010 [#5] SMP

The external USB disk is no longer mounted and any attemp to read it ( with a
simple ls ) results in IO errors.

I unplug it.

Wait 30 secs or so.

Plug it back in and then I see in /dev/sd? thus :

root@aster:~# ls -laptr /dev/sd*
brw-rw 1 root disk   8, 16 Mar 12 17:29 /dev/sdb
brw-rw 1 root disk   8,  0 Mar 12 17:29 /dev/sda
brw-rw 1 root disk   8, 17 Mar 12 17:29 /dev/sdb1
brw-rw 1 root disk   8,  3 Mar 12 17:29 /dev/sda3
brw-rw 1 root disk   8,  2 Mar 12 17:29 /dev/sda2
brw-rw 1 root disk   8,  1 Mar 12 17:29 /dev/sda1
brw-rw 1 root disk   8,  4 Mar 12 17:29 /dev/sda4
brw-rw 1 root floppy 8, 33 Mar 12 17:29 /dev/sdc1
brw-rw 1 root floppy 8, 32 Mar 12 17:29 /dev/sdc
brw-rw 1 root floppy 8, 96 Mar 27 21:53 /dev/sdg
brw-rw 1 root floppy 8, 97 Mar 27 21:53 /dev/sdg1

The last entry there /dev/sdg1 would be my external HP disk which I can now
mount :

root@aster:~# /bin/mount -v -t ext4 -o rw /dev/sdg1 /hp

Now the filesystem is usable with no real issues.

I have to repeat this process daily, once or twice, and the message on the
console are generally the same. More or less.

How would I go about debugging this issue if it is caused by the USB driver ?

Thank you in advance for any insights.

Dennis

 If you are running squeeze you shouldn't be searching for the module.

 What you see on this webpage is the Adaptec Storage Manager (ASM) which
 is the software to manage the controller. The aacraid module (which is
 needed for the kernel to access the controller and thus the raid
 containers) should be included in the stock squeeze kernel. At least
 this is the case for our 2410sa. I believe both controllers (2820sa and
 2410sa) are accessed through the same module, but I'm not sure. You
 should check.

 A good place for getting help and searching for solutions is the Adaptec
 Support Knowledgebase at:
 http://ask.adaptec.com

 As a matter of fact, I did use ASK quite recently (last summer) and
 while our controller is really old they, worked with me and helped me
 figure out what was messing up our setup. The support guy even gave me a
 link to download a version of ASM that wasn't in the download page of
 the 2410sa, compatible with debian.

 Hi there,

 I've scrolled back my notes and found that this was an issue with sarge
 and aacraid module prior to 1.1.5.-2400. This was solved as soon as we
 upgraded to etch (etch comes with aacraid 1.1.5-2409). As I can recall,
 the system had a rather arbitrary behaviour while running sarge: most of
 the times it would fail to boot, but sometimes it would reach the login
 prompt and then run steadily until the next reboot.

 For the record I can't remember getting any answers for this.

 Hope that helps a bit,
 Kostas

 Greetings all,

 Our main server is an Opteron system with an Adaptec SATA RAID 2410SA
 controller and 4x 250GB Seagate Barracuda disks attached to it, forming
 a RAID-5 and a RAID-0 container. The system is running sarge with the
 latest 2.6.8 kernel (2.6.8-13-amd64-k8).

 We recently upgraded the server with a second Opteron CPU. When we tried
 to boot the system with the SMP kernel it gave the following messages
 just after the login prompt and hung:

 Nov 9 09:52:58 myhost kernel: aacraid: Host adapter reset request. SCSI
 hang ?
 Nov 9 09:52:58 myhost kernel: aacraid: Host adapter reset request. SCSI
 hang ?
 Nov 9 09:53:32 myhost kernel: aacraid: SCSI bus appears hung

 Sarge 2.6.8 kernels contain aacraid 1.1.2-lk2. I managed to compile and
 install version 1.1.5-2400 (downloaded from Adaptec's site) but without
 any luck, the system still hangs.

 Please note that aacraid 1.1.5-2400 has been used in the single CPU
 system (i.e. before the addition of the second CPU) for quite some time,
  without any problems.

 Has anyone else faced a similar situation?

 A google search revealed this is an old bug, dated back to 2003 but with
 no clear solution whatsoever.

 Any help would be much appreciated. In the time being I have two
 options, either remove the second cpu or remove the raid controller,
 both of which suck :-).

I believe there is no choice. All kernels are smp-kernels.

A related bug report was closed in 2007 with the comment:

As recent Linux kernels in Debian all have SMP support built-in, I am
closing this bug report, as there is no need to install a specific
kernel version for system with more than one processor.

 Advice on how to proceed from here is greatly appreciated.

 I led you to the well but it's up to you to drink Arthur.  You didn't read the
 help screens.  All the frequency info you need is there.  It is the key to you
 succeeding at this.  You may have to experiment some, but that's a requirement
 when rolling one's own kernels.  Welcome to the club.  It's rarely easy. ;)

Asking on here isn't my first attempt at figuring things out. My
kernel config work is based on Greg KM's book The Linux Kernel In A
Nutshell. So, not only have I read the help screens, but I've also
read a pretty decent book by one of the kernel's prime maintainers.

I should have been more clear about the advice I was hoping for, since
there is nothing wrong with my kernel config, I was looking for advice
about how to go about further debugging this issue of not having full
frequency range. I wanted to give fixing it a solid try before filing
a bug against the kernel itself.

 BTW, I'm curious as to your motivations for this.  Is this basically a
 Windows can do 800MHz, so $deity dammit, Linux should be able to do it as
 well! thing?

Not as such. More like a my processor is supposed to scale from 800Mhz
to 1.6Ghz, and its strange that it doesn't. I wonder why.

 In practical terms Arthur, you will not notice a meaningful
 difference in thermal output or current draw (battery consumption) between
 800MHz and 1GHz with the n450.  The n450 has a TDP of 5.5 watts at 1.66GHz.
 Thus you won't even save 1 watt going from 1GHz to 800MHz in power save mode.
  It'll be something like 300 milliwatts or less.  This exercise of yours is
 futile if your goal is a _practical_ difference in system operation.

I suppose that will have to count as advice on how to proceed, but I
hope you'll forgive me if I continue to search for an answer. Your
comments are reassuring to me though, that it isn't a serious problem,
and I do thank you for that.

At this point, I'm thinking it's a problem with the kernel or a
problem with my bios, and I think there are some kernel command line
parameters I can use to test the latter in Greg's book.

Best wishes,
AM

Hi Chris,

Available frequencies are taken from
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/freq/available_scaling_frequencies, in
addition powertop shows the same information.

Governors are all compiled into the kernel, and switching between them
by echoing conservative or ondemand to
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/freq/current_scaling_governor works. I
haven't tried user space yet, because I don't have any userspace tools
installed right now to change cpufreq. I'll remedy that this weekend
and see if it makes any difference.

Currently I'm using the acpi_cpufreq built into the kernel, however a
few other intel related ones like p4 and even those marked as
deprecated are built as modules.

Appreciate the input,
AM

Arthur Machlas put forth on 7/30/2010 9:04 AM:

 Not as such. More like a my processor is supposed to scale from 800Mhz
 to 1.6Ghz, and its strange that it doesn't. I wonder why.

That's what I figured.  I had a similar mindset when I was a younger man.  Let
me share a relevant story:

Back in 1997 I bought a beautiful used Midnight Blue 1993 Ford Probe GT with
the hopped up 24 valve quad cam V6 and a 5 speed manual transmission.  It was
Motor Trend Magazine's 1993 Car Of The Year.  The tested top speed was 137
miles per hour.  I was dead set on achieving that published top speed.  I
didn't have a racetrack available for my testing.  Over the course of about 3
weeks I would find open stretches of Interstate 370 with little to no traffic.
 On 5 occasions I was able to hit 135 mph, but no more.  I was determined to
hit the magical 137 that Motor Trend said it would do.  On the six occasion on
a cool afternoon I had just hit 136 mph when I rocketed past a hidden Missouri
Highway Patrolman manning a radar gun.  As soon as I saw the cherries in my
rear view mirror I slowed down and pulled over.  Evading wasn't an option even
with that kind of speed and lead: you can't outrun a radio or a helicopter. ;)

Due to traveling at almost double the posted speed limit I spent a mandatory
night in jail.  The attorney cost me $450 and the ticket for doing 76 mph
_over_ the posted speed limit was $548, for a grand total of $998.  The
attorney got the reckless driving charge dropped and massaged the speeding
charge so I only took a 2 point hit on my license instead of 5.  A reckless
driving conviction along with the additional points would have put me into
what the insurance industry calls the high risk category, which would have
quadrupled my insurance premiums.  That would have driven my monthly insurance
payment to just under $500/month, which was more than my split of rent at the
time.

The moral of the story:  Even if they say it will do it, and others have
achieved it, it's not always wise, nor cost effective, to maniacally chase the
numbers. :)

 I suppose that will have to count as advice on how to proceed, but I
 hope you'll forgive me if I continue to search for an answer. Your
 comments are reassuring to me though, that it isn't a serious problem,
 and I do thank you for that.

There's nothing to forgive.  It's your time and effort going into this.  I'm
simply trying to save you large amounts of both as I've been there and done
that.

 At this point, I'm thinking it's a problem with the kernel or a
 problem with my bios, and I think there are some kernel command line
 parameters I can use to test the latter in Greg's book.

And before filing a kernel bug, it would be very wise to ask the questions you
have here on lkml before you submit a bug.  Debian-users isn't really the
proper venue for discussing your problem.  This is a user list, not a
developer list.  There are very few, if any, kernel hackers on this list with
the knowledge/answers you are seeking.  And no I'm not one of them.  Having
more than cursory experience rolling my own kernels is a far cry from being a
kernel hacker.  I'm not a C programmer.

My advice:  expend your energy on aspects of Debian/Linux that will yield
practical, tangible benefits.  This isn't one of them.

Re: Intel Atom N450 Kernel Config Options re: SMP

2010-07-29 Thread Stan Hoeppner
Arthur Machlas put forth on 7/28/2010 11:14 PM:
 Greetings,
 
 According to the spec sheet on the Atom N450 it has a single core,
 though it does support two threads. However, linuxinfo (replaces
 cpuinfo I suppose) says two unknown processors.

Your kernel doesn't either doesn't support CPU_ID or doesn't have the tables
for Atom CPUs, or both.  This is a kernel config option.

 r...@hpm210:/home/arthur/Misc/Linux/2.6.34-1# linuxinfo

 Two Intel Unknown 1666MHz processors, 6650.42 total bogomips, 1011M RAM

 Strangely, that's not the correct amount of ram in the system.

Strangely, most people don't rely on linuxinfo. ;)  File a bug report.

 Swap: 1972  0   1971
 
 Anyway, as you can see from the current directory, the reason I'm
 asking about the number of cpu's cores in the atom n450 is that I'm
 rolling my own kernel hoping a newer version will be able to get the
 freq down to 800mhz same as windows, currently reporting that it can
 only go as low as 1000. Also want to optimize for the atom processor
 and build in all modules needed for hardware.

In make menuconfig:

In Processor Type and Features
uncheck Symmetric multi-processing support
check   Intel Atom in Processor Family
check   SMT (HyperThreading)
uncheck Multi-core scheduler support
check   Intel MCE features
check   /dev/cpu/*/msr - Model-specific register support
check   /dev/cpu/*/cpuid - CPU information support

These last two are probably the reason for the unknown, especially given
you're running 2.6.34 which has all the CPU models currently on the market.

In Power management and ACPI options
select CPU Frequency scaling
check   CPU Frequency scaling (not a dup typo)
read the descriptions and decide which is the best default governor for you
then select the CPUFreq processor drivers that matches your hardware platform

You'll have to figure out all the other menu config settings on your own, as
most of us kernel monkeys have. ;)  These are simply the ones that directly
relate to your questions.

Hope this helped get you closer.

Probably just a problem with linuxinfo, which I'd never heard of
before, but installed when cpuinfo was not found and aptitude
suggested linuxinfo provided it. In any event, cat /proc/cpuinfo shows
all the right information.

You can't.. or rather, I can't select SMT support without first

I am using the kernel in my subject.  It seems as though this kernel

more stable?  It seems to happen mostly when I use Gnome and Gnome
crashes as well.

Sounds more like a thermal problem to me. Do you have lm-sensors
installed? What CPU model do you use? What's its temperature? How old is
the thermal paste between the CPU and the heat sink?

 Is there a
 kernel in Lenny or a newer kernel I could try to see if things become

What exactly crashes? Just Gnome or the whole machine? I suspect you are
mixing up two unrelated symptoms (but that's just a guess, of course).

Oi,

Parece que é um problema do kernel 2.6.30.1, pois o 2.6.26 funciona a
primeira ;)

SMP apm

2008-04-15 Thread Digby Tarvin
Just been chaseing up some post install loose ends, one of which was
getting the 'automatic power off on halt' to work...

The steps required turned out to be:
a. apt-get install apm
b. echo apm /etc/modules
c. echo 'options apm power_off=1' /etc/modprobe.d/apm

which seems to have done the trick nicely.

However I am a little concerned about the messages produced when apm
is loaded:
apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.16ac)
apm: disabled - APM is not SMP safe (power off active).

This is a SMP motherboard with two cpu's installed:
Intel MultiProcessor Specification v1.1
Virtual Wire compatibility mode.
OEM ID: INTELProduct ID: 440GXAPIC at: 0xFEE0
Processor #0 6:8 APIC version 17
Processor #1 6:8 APIC version 17
I/O APIC #2 Version 17 at 0xFEC0.
Enabling APIC mode:  Flat.  Using 1 I/O APICs
Processors: 2

So is the message about apm being disabled lying - it is doing something
as it is enabling my auto power off, and /proc/apm appears showing:
penemunde:/etc# cat /proc/apm
1.16ac 1.2 0x03 0xff 0xff 0xff -1% -1 ?

I have skimmed through the apm source, at it looks to me like it is just
that the message is a listtle misleading and that the power off part
of apm is safe with SMP, and the unsafe bits are disabled.

I think this is right, but thought it worth mentioning as it seems like
something that should be in an Etch FAQ..

Regards,
DigbyT

aacraid and smp kernel: SCSI hang

2007-12-05 Thread Kostas Magkos
Greetings all,

Our main server is an Opteron system with an Adaptec SATA RAID 2410SA
controller and 4x 250GB Seagate Barracuda disks attached to it, forming
a RAID-5 and a RAID-0 container. The system is running sarge with the
latest 2.6.8 kernel (2.6.8-13-amd64-k8).

We recently upgraded the server with a second Opteron CPU. When we tried
to boot the system with the SMP kernel it gave the following messages
just after the login prompt and hung:

Nov 9 09:52:58 myhost kernel: aacraid: Host adapter reset request. SCSI
hang ?
Nov 9 09:52:58 myhost kernel: aacraid: Host adapter reset request. SCSI
hang ?
Nov 9 09:53:32 myhost kernel: aacraid: SCSI bus appears hung

Sarge 2.6.8 kernels contain aacraid 1.1.2-lk2. I managed to compile and
install version 1.1.5-2400 (downloaded from Adaptec's site) but without
any luck, the system still hangs.

Please note that aacraid 1.1.5-2400 has been used in the single CPU
system (i.e. before the addition of the second CPU) for quite some time,
  without any problems.

Has anyone else faced a similar situation?

A google search revealed this is an old bug, dated back to 2003 but with
no clear solution whatsoever.

Any help would be much appreciated. In the time being I have two
options, either remove the second cpu or remove the raid controller,
both of which suck :-).

Some technical details

curious of the outcome.

Etch 2.6.18-5-486 stable but 2.6.18-5-686 crashes on PIII SMP???

2007-10-31 Thread Digby Tarvin
I have installed Etch using a recent netinstall on a Dell Precision 410,
and had a lot of trouble initially with mysterious frequent
'segmentation fault' errors and total system freezes which required a
reset.

After some trial and error and some advice from the net I discovered that
if I installed the 2.6.18-5-486 kernel and booted that instead of the
2.6.18-5-686 kernel from the installer then all the instability went away.

However this leaves me without use of my second CPU and without access to
a 'bigmem' kernel to access all of my ram :(

I am hoping that there might be some kernel experts out there that can
offer some suggestions as to what might be going wrong with the 686
kernel, and which I might be able to try in order to resolve (or at least
explain) the problem...

/proc/cpuinfo returns:

I tried booting the 686 kernel with the 'nosmp' option to see if there was
a problem with the SMP implementation on this machine, but that made no
difference (other than giving me a single processor).

Anyone come across anything like this? Any kernel experts with any
idea what difference between these two kernels might explain this
problem?

 running code that can take advantage of parallel processing, then
 those things that fit that criterion will run in parallel. And those
 tasks will then complete faster because they have more cpu time than
 they would get in a system with fewer cpus. 
 
 At least that's how it seems to me.


current multicore also shares (L2?) cache so there's contention there
too which will severely affect codes that require data to work on...

This was the vanilla config also.

If you want more CPUs, you will need to compile.

greetings

P.D. be careful with top, if you press '1', on a 25 lines term, with 16
cpus, you only will see the headers, and not process information :-)

P.D.2 on top, if you press 'f', then 'j', then 'enter' you will see a
new column titled 'P', where you will see the CPU that is using each
process. Press 'W' to make it permanent.

Not much, unless you can write software that can take advantage of the

 Hi all,
 
 just a general question - I'm interested in getting a motherboard that
 supports 4 of the new AMD Quad Core CPUs.  That would be effectively 16
 CPUs.  My question is, with the 2.6.18-5-686 kernel from etch, will the
 SMP kernel work with all 16 cores?  What is actually the current limit of
 cores (CPUs) that the 2.6.18 (or newer) kernel will support?
 
 Thanks much,

don't expect things to go 16x faster

Interessante, veja lá no e-mail que você mandou que, segundo o cat
/proc/cpuinfo, o seu processador tem HT (tá lá no meio das flags) mas
segundo o everest, não tem, diz Hyper-Threading Technology (HTT): Não
suportado.

Por que isso? É apenas uma curiosidade...

Rodolfo,

É verdade! mas na Bios diz que não há HT e tenho ela atualizada. Minha
placa quando o processador tem ht coloca a opção de habilitar/desabilitar.

O engraçado é que meu processador é o mais pobre da versão prescot. Na
família prescot os mais ricos têm suporte a ht. pelo menos do que li
no site da intel. Mas meu inglês é péssimo mesmo.

vou pesquisar mais. Sua observação foi boa. Obrigado

linux-image-2.6.18-5-686 - turn off SMP and then disable local APIC

For the options to persist across kernel updates/upgrades, add the
options 'nosmp' and 'noapic' to /boot/grub/menu.lst on the kopt= line,
then run 'update-grub'.  This works for all kenel versions.  For
example, edit:

# kopt=root=/dev/sda1 ro
to:
# kopt=root=/dev/sda1 ro nosmp noapic

Then run 'update-grub' and take a look at /boot/grub/menu.lst - you
should see your default options added to all the kernel boot blocks.

Take a look at the other option sections, if you wish to enable options
only in the alternative or non-alternative boot options.

  One thing I forgot to mention, there is little or no performance hit

  worry about that.

 I have a Dual 2 Core CPU.
 I must to disable SMP and locale APIC because the NVIDIA driver is not
 compatible yet with Dual 2 Core processors.

 Look here:

Can you disable SMP in the kernel by appending the kernel line in GRUB

2007-08-20 Thread Nigel Henry
I've been trying to help someone on the list with acpi related shutdown 
problems, with no success up to now.

When I had shutdown problems with FC5 (fixed with using acpi=force), someone 
on the Fedora list suggested that it could be a problem with SMP kernels.

I Googled a bit the other day, and found stuff about recompiling the kernel, 
and disabling SMP in it, but is there a way to disable SMP by appending the 
kernel line in GRUB?

I read one comment that said:
To disable SMP at bootup, use,
noreplace-smp

Is that an appendment to the kernel line or what? I don't want to suggest 
something stupid for Mark to try.

Any comments, suggestions welcome.

Nigel.

Yes, you would want to append that to the kernel line in 
/boot/grub/menu.lst .  You may also want to try nosmp or maxcpus=0 , both 
of those will disable the smp code.

Thanks Jeff for the quick response. All suggestions written down on hard copy 
for future reference.

These acpi related shutdown problems are a real nightmare to resolve. Not 
everyone is affected. it just seems to happen on some hardware, and later 
kernels.

for example on one of my 2 machines, an old Gateway 500, P111 (katmai), Fc5 
shutsdown completely whichever kernel I've booted up with. On a later 
I-friend machine, FC5 will shutdown completely if I boot with the original 
2.6.15 kernel, but booting with revisions of the 2.6.17 kernel, and later, I 
have to add acpi=force to the kernel line to get it to shutdown completely. 

My Debian Etch, and Lenny installs on the I-friend machine are using a 2.6.17 
kernel, but may be an earlier revision than the FC5 one, and I don't have any 
shutdown problems with my Debian installs. I'll try and find later kernels 
for Etch, and Lenny to see if the shutdown problem shows up.

Mind you, saying this, a bug report for Ubuntu to Launchpad showed acpi 
related shutdown problems with 2.6.15 kernels. Many suggestions to append the 
kernel line with, some worked, others didn't. It's all a bit bizarre.

Thanks again for your help.

Nigel.

 Problem:
 Using a recent Vista Family premium, I could not see the content on a 
 Samba shared folder (folder could be opened but i's empty...). Same 
 works when used by other XP or NT Windows based PC.
 I presume the tunning has to be on Vista rather the Linux Samba PC!
 
 Any hint?
 
What do the logs say?

On to another problem though: I was having trouble booting the domu's the
second time, Device 2049 (vbd) could not be connected, and I found a tip
about increasing the number of loop-devices, so I added modprobe loop
max_devices=64 in /etc/init.d/xend and went on to the next problem:
The first domu starts like a charm, so does the next for a couple of
seconds before I get a kernel panic about something not syncing (I only
have a couple of seconds to read it before the blasted thing reboots)

I noticed that the 64 loop devices turns up in /dev/, not in /dev/loop/
(where there's still a 0) don't know if it's supposed to be that way
though...

Does anyone have a clue about this, and if not can tell med the correct
way of increasing the number of loop-devices?

Thanx

Sorry for the delay, RL has been rather demanding of late.

I've installed 2.6.18 from sid but it's displaying the same problems.

As a test of CPU power I've been decompressing the kernel tree, with a 
UP 2.6 kernel this takes about 1m 15s, I don't know if bz2 is 
multithreaded but even if it's not I would expect a slight speed 
increase but in fact with a SMP 2.6 kernel it take 13 ~ 15m, with a SMP 
2.4 kernel it takes 1m 28s and with a 2.4 UP 1m 35s.


with 2.6.18 from sid I get

As you can see it's variable, I've got hda plugged into a SiI680 PCI

How about 2.6.18 from sid? If also bad, try bugzilla on kernel.org, or

Is it possible to do this without migrating the whole system to sid? I

.config file I could compile it in the same way.


Sure. And even in various ways, including downloading deb and installing it
by hands. But debian way is simpler and better, see man apt_preferences.

Kernel is special, any regression users or developers not aware of, may
propagate for long time. And finally, when you catch something, the only
way is to contact upstream developers in lkml. I think, Debian Kernel
Team will be interested only in security stuff. So, deb kernel in Sid
is something in between.

smp paketleri transition package olarak geçiyor artık:

686 paketleri, smp geliştirmelerini de içeriyor artık. Bu yüzden smp'ler

SMP/PREEMPT deaktivieren

2006-11-15 Thread Wolfgang.friedl
Hallo,

wg. eines Treibers sollte ich folgendes machen.

Troubleshooting Tips for rt2570

   1. Stability issues can be addressed by disabling USB2.0 (ehci) and
dropping back to USB1.1 (ohci). You can do this by blacklisting the ehci
module
   2. If you have SMP enabled, turn it off
   3. If you have PREEMPT enabled, turn it off 


Was mich interessieren wuerde (2 und 3) : gibt es eine schnell-schnell
Option (z.B: echo 0  /proc oder einen Lilo append... parameter) Option
oder muss ein zweiter Kernel erstellt werden?

Keine Ahnung ob dein Problem noch aktuell ist (und direkte Tips habe ich

Evtl. ein BIOS-Upgrade nötig/möglich?
Stöbere mal in der kernel-parameters.txt, dort gibt es etliche
Parameter, die mit Bios (strict bios, bios_irq,...) zu tun haben. Auch
apic bzw. lapic Parameter, wobei das Ausschalten von APIC bei SMP ja
IMHO keinen Sinn macht. Evtl. auch die Parameter zu ACPI.

Viel Glück!

Ich glaube, das ist auch der Hinweis auf die Unterscheidung, wie Du oben

Interessant ist (fuer mich) nach wie vor der Wert siblings, kann Deine 
Maschine vielleicht auch HT?
Weiters wuerde mich interessieren, ob man diesen Unterschied (HT--2core) 
auch vor SMP-Kernel sieht, sprich ob Du vielleicht noch ein cpuinfo von 
vor dem Kernel-Kompilieren haettest, wie ich schrieb habe ich ja keines 
mehr; und ob top bei Dir 1 oder 2 CPUs zeigt, ich wuerde mal auf 2 
tippen, aber was weiss man (oder ums anders zu formulieren, woher hat

Ja, ich glaub schon, und zwar ist es der Eintrag in /proc/cpuinfo, der 
da zaehlt:


...

cpu family  : 15
model   : 4

Nur den muss man dann halt wieder bei intel nachschauen, um 
herauszufinden, was das heisst (und Intel macht einem das nicht gerade 
leicht). Die Methode das physikalisch an der CPU nachzusehen wollte 
ich nur als letzten Ausweg noch angeben, falls alles andere nicht klappt 
(und der Vollstaendigkeit halber).
Du hast natuerlich recht, es ist vielleicht nicht so gut, jemanden zum 
zerlegen seines Kuehlers zu ermuntern; aber ich denke die natuerliche 
Scheu vor dem Geraet sollte und wird Ihn, C.M. Hilberg, diesen Schritt 
als letztes setzen lassen.


Vielleicht weiss jemand mehr ueber dieses Problem an nicht Intel/AMD - 
CPUs, dass heisst bei solchen, die einen niedrigeren CPUinfo-level besitzen?

HT ist nur bei den Pentium4 (+ evtl. Celeron und Xeon) im Einsatz

Dazu muss man doch einfach nur in den Quelltext von top schauen ;).

Ich habe auf dem System gerade ein Knoppix 5.0.1, da das Gerät bei mir
nur leihweise ist. 

In top habe ich CPU0 und CPU1 (die view mit 1 aktiviert). Mit dem
einfachen kcalc-Test habe ich noch festgestellt, dass ein Prozess
anscheinden gerne auf die erste CPU verschoben wird.

proc-id 4225 lief auf CPU0, proc-id 4226 auf CPU1. 4225 gekillt und
4226 ist nach CPU1 gewandert.

Wenn du bei (im Bios) aktiviertem HT einen SMP-Kernel lädst, sollten
zwei CPU angezeigt werden. Bei einem normalen Kernel halt nur einer.

Aber: Der Kernel in Etch (und sicher auch Sid) ist ein SMP-Kernel.

Wie oben gesagt, ich glaube es haengt davon ab welcher P4 es ist. Hier 
bei mir lauft ein Prescott P4 (genauer, die 950-er Serie, familie 15, 
modell 4), welcher als 2 CPUs (mit derselben ID) erkannt wird, obwohl es 
kein dual core ist, sondern HT; ich hatte allerdings nicht ausprobiert, 
ob mit dem eigenen Kernel die 2 CPUs erkannt werden, sondern gleich 
einen eigenen Kernel kompiliert, weiss also nicht ob SMP die Anzahl der 
CPUs fuer top aendert, weil z.B. dann SMP zwischen echtem dual core und 
HT unterscheiden kann.
Damit kann ich laut top 200% der CPU auslasten, aber die wird mir nur 
als einzelne angezeigt, da selbe CPUID.


/proc/cpuinfo sagt bei mir:

...
physical id: 0
siblings: 2
core id: 0
cpu cores: 1
...
physical id: 0
siblings: 2
core id: 0
cpu cores: 1

...

,also ich habe zwei CPUs mit derselben ID; der Kernel ist SMP-enabled 
2.6.16, und kann damit gut umgehen. Moeglicherweise bedeutet der Wert 
siblings: 2, dass ich HT habe, aber das weiss ich leider nicht genau 
(wenn ich das wort uebersetze: saeuglings-wert).

Ich haenge Dir ein vollstaendiges /proc/cpuinfo an, damit Du vergleichen 
kannst; acpi sagt mir, es gaebe nur eine CPU, xen laeuft hier nicht.
Irgenwo solltest Du auch (vom Kauf) die Info ueber das Modell Deines P4 
haben, dann koennte man ja bei intel nachschauen, was die CPU kann bzw. 
koennen sollte. Falls dies nicht mehr vorhanden ist kann man immer den 
Rechner aufmachen, den Luefter (natuerlich sehr vorsichtig) entfernen, 
und direkt auf der CPU nachlesen, was das ist (ist dann wieder ein 
eigener Code, den man unter intel nachschauen kann).


Summa summarum, ich wuerde glauben dass Du eine dual core CPU hast, zwei 
Xeons wahrscheinlich.

smp??

2006-10-06 Thread Enrique Morfin
Hi!

Im running sid with kernel 2.6.16-1-686-smp

I want to upgrade the kernel.

The question is:

Does the package linux-image-2.6.18-1-686-bigmem is
smp?

or where are the 2.6.17 and 2.6.18 smp images?

Thanks.

Linux supports smp-alternatives since 2.6.17. This means, that
additional processors can be added dynamically while the boot process of
the kernel.

Or in other words: all Debians kernel images do support smp (i386,
powerpc and some other archs).

ACPI does a lot more than just power management.  It handles PCI routing
setup and much of the initial hardware setup and discovery.

As to the original topic of what happened to the other two cores, the
local APICs that are being discovered and configured by ACPI are
required for multiple CPUs to be used.  The answer to is it possible to

SMP with ACPI disabled

2006-10-04 Thread Matt Parlane

Hi all...

I have a dual Xeon machine that was running fine on all four cores,
but then I started getting some filesystem corruption because of dodgy
RAID drivers.  I disabled ACPI, which fixed this, but now I am down to
running on two cores.

My question is, is there any way to run SMP (that will give me all
four cores) without ACPI?

Cheers,

Matt

If you are running on two cores, and you see both in /proc/cpuinfo, then
you have SMP enabled.

I can see two cores in /proc/cpuinfo, but I used to see four, since
the processors are both dual core (sorry, I should have mentioned
this).

I'm not sure if I'm only running on one physical processor or one core
from each processor, but I'm definitely only running on two cores, and
I was running on four cores before, and the only change I made was
disabling ACPI.

I have the dmesg output from before (with ACPI) and now (without ACPI)
if anyone is interested:

It's two processors each with two cores, no hyperthreading.

problem przy kompilacji jądra z smp

2006-09-18 Thread Wojciech Giel

Witam
używam debiana sarge mam zainstalowane jadro 2.6.8-3-686-smp i wszystko 
chodzi jak trzeba ale zachciało mi kompilowac własne więcv skompilowałem 
sobie jądro 2.6.17.13 z smp. problem w tym że nie mam sieci. w czasie 
bootowania pisze że eth0 zasoby są zajęte przez inny proces czy coś w 
tym stylu. jak pinguje server to czasami przez chwilę wyświetla 
normalnie i chwilę potem nic się nie dzieje jak powtórze to host 
unreachable. a jak pinguję swoją kartę to mam normalne dane z wyjścia. w 
każdym razie net nie działa.
jak wracam na stare jądro wszystko w pożądku.jest to moje pierwsze jajko 
z SMP i nie wiem za bardzo na co zwrócić uwagę. załączam mój config może 
coś znajdziecie. proszę o sugestie i dzięki

Es gibt ADSL-(PCI)Karten die Router sind.
Haben einen ARM drauf und laufen mit embedded Linux.

Hatte mich dafür interessiert, nur keinen Hersteller und auch keinen
deutschen Anbieter dafür gefunden.  Habe ein kompaktes System in einem
NMEA68 Gehäuse und bin auf der Suche nach einer ADSL-Router-Karte.

Hatte auch shon dran gedacht, einen einfachen ADSL2+ Router zu nehmen
und das Gehäuse zu entfernen um es unterzubringen, hat aber den Nachteil,
das WENN der Router mal abstürzt, Du nicht an den Resetknopf kommst.

Die ADSL-Router-Karten kann man beim Booten direkt über einen Shortcut
erreichen, wie z.B. das BIOS von SCSI-Karten.

Der NORMALE Kernel ist OHNE SMP.

Ich habe hier einen 2.6.17-k7 installiert und der ist definitiv ohne
SMP, sonst würde nämlich mein alter Athlon MP 1900 nicht starten.
Dieser Steinzeit SMP benötigt nen Eigenbau-SMP-Kernel.

 _Ich_ habe das in größerem Stil getan, bzw. bei der Neuanschaffung
 gleich auf Karten mit z.B. HFC-Chip gesetzt.

Okay, ich werde meine Karte auch entsorgen.

 Bei Ubuntu sind die Kernel mittlerweile alle mit SMP kompiliert, weil
 der Kernel automatisch erkennt, ob es nur ein UP-System ist und dann
 andere Code-Pfade wählt, so dass ein SMP-Kernel nicht mehr langsamer auf
 einem UP-System ist.

Ich habe gesehen, dass Ubuntu in unstable auch AVM-Firmware und 
Kernelsourcen (für 2.6.17) bereit stellt. Da ich bei Ubuntu keine
außerplanmäßigen Patche gefunden habe, gehe ich davon aus, dass
die Treiber bei Ubuntu auch nicht funktionieren werden ...

 Daher hat man sich wohl entschieden, alle Kernel gleich für SMP zu
 bauen, da man so die Anzahl der Kernel-Pakete reduzieren konnte.

Das ist eine vernüftige Entscheidung. Ich habe mal einen 2.6.17 ohne
SMP compiliert, weil Abschalten per nosmp auch nicht hilft.
Das Problem bleibt das selbe, nach Laden des Moduls und capiinit
kommt auch hier die Kernelpanic. Es liegt also nicht am Debiankernel.

Naja, die Karte muss weg, weil: 'End Of Maintenance state (EOM)' siehe auch:

Bei eb*y wird sich schon ein Wind*zer finden. ;-)

Die Firmware fürfte für die B1- und C4-Karten von AVM sein, für die es

Locking und anderen Dingen gespart, so dass das Ding früher oder später
einfacher stehenbleibt, hart.

Wenn ich das richtig sehe, brauchst Du fcdsl22.ko, das ist für Kernel mit SMP,

Hallo,

ich habe ein kleines Problem mit dem Kernel in Etch.

Zur Vorgeschichte: ich habe mit Kernel 2.6.16-2-k7 kein Problem.
Ich kann den Treiber für meine Fritzcard DSL problemlos damit
compilieren und benutzen. Dieser Kernel ist ohne SMP.

Update heute auf Kernel 2.6.17-2-k7 - die Treiber für die
Fritzcard (fcdslsl) compilieren problemlos. Ich kann das Modul
auch laden. Nach capiinit kommt es dann zur Kernelpanic.
Dieser Kernel kommt mit SMP! Dadurch wird wohl auch irgendwas
mit SMP in das Modul fcdslsl eincompiliert, was die ganze Kiste
einfrieren läßt. Ich brauche kein SMP für meine Single-CPU-Maschine,
von SMP steht auch nichts in der Paketbeschreibung.
Soll das SMP bleiben oder ist das ein Irrtum? Was mache ich jetzt?

Hi!

definitiv brauchst du keinen Kernel mit SMP. Es ist ein Kernel im APT
haben, der einfach nur 2.6.17-2-k7
(linux-image-2.6.17-2-k7_2.6.17-8_i386.deb) heisst

Oder einfach Selbstbauen! :-)

Nein, du sollst deine Karte wegwerfen, weil der Hersteller nicht mehr
