We're already running this system with two power supplys.  All old

Because we had multiple reboots without any trace we also replaced

Serial debug broken in recent -CURRENT?

2003-09-29 Thread Greg 'groggy' Lehey
After building a new kernel, remote serial gdb no longer works.  When
I issue a 'continue' command, I lose control of the system, but it
doesn't continue running.  Has anybody else seen this?

   I have not had this experience.  Can you give me details of your
machine and the kind of load that causes slugishness?  I'll
correct it as soon as I can identify it.
   
   The machine is an dual Pentium 2 300MHz, and I'm running gnome 2.4.
   I do also experience this with my computer at school, a single
Pentium3 733MHz.
   
   The load isn't very complicated, usually just gnome 2.4 and mozilla
   firebird running.  If I then do anything that requires lots of cpu,
   like a compile of a program, the interactivity drops fast.
   
   On the dual machine I have also experienced a *HUGE* increase in the
   time for portupgrade -ar to complete.  I am not familiar with how
   portupgrade works, but it seems to spawn a few make's and sort's,
but I am not sure why it is currently using 3 hours instead of 10
minutes to complete! (This was tested when there was no packages to
upgrade, which shouldn't take long)
   
   Both machines (this dual and the one at school) are running with a
   libmap.conf in order to use libkse, is this perhaps affecting the
   performance of ULE?
   
   I am not sure how useful this is to you, but if you have any other
   pointers as to what I should look at just ask.
   
   Are you running 5.1-release or 5.1-current?
   
   I ask because I have used ULE on two different kernels so far on this
   box. One was 5.1-release running gnome2, mozilla, xmms. On this the
   mouse stutters really badly whenever anything is being compiled.
   
   However on the 5.1-current kernel this behavior no longer happens and
   the mouse is fine.
   
   I suspect ULE has had a few enhancements between the release and now.
   
I am running 5.1-current

   Ahh I tell you the other difference. I had a USB mouse when I tried ULE
   with 5.1-release and it stuttered. It's just a ps2 one on the current
   kernel where it's not stuttering.
  
   Matt.
 
  I have a PS/2 mouse, I run -CURRENT from 2 days ago, and I experience the
  stuttering too.
 
  It happens when compiling stuff, when loading complicated pages in
  Mozilla Firebird, and when logging out of GNOME 2.4 (the 'background
  fade' animation brings my Athlon XP 2000+ to its knees when I use
  SCHED_ULE).
 
  Arjan

 Gnome seems to be a common theme.  Are you also using libkse?  There could
 be some interaction there.

Yes, I'm using libkse. It's also worth mentioning that it also happens in KDE, 
but only under the heavy load of a 'make buildworld' or compiling something 
else, or when for example extracting a big bzip2 file.

gkrellm and libthr

2003-09-29 Thread Vladimir B. Grebenschikov

Hi 

Just tried run gnome-2.4 desktop with:
% cat /etc/libmap.conf
libc_r.so.5  libthr.so.1
libc_r.solibthr.so

All seems smooth so far, but gkrellm.

First it works right (creates some threads)
Then system time consumed became all available CPU power (by systat -vm)

When I have kill gkrellm all returns to normal operation.

It is reproducible effect.

ICH sound after suspend/resume

2003-09-29 Thread Kevin Oberman
Re: kern/55395

I see a patch to ich.c back on the 15th to Correctly reset ich[3-5]
sound cards on resume., but I am still not able to properly use my
sound card after a resume because the card starts clocking at the wrong
rate, about 52K instead of the correct 48,000.

There is nothing in the tying it to any PR, but it looks like it's
trying to do the right thing on resume.

As before, the sysctl for the sampling rate has no effect.

Any ideas what I might try?

All I can suggest is going through the ICH sound docs.  Intel write both 
register descriptions and programmers guide for their h/w.  You might also 
look at the ALSA driver.  I believe the speed problem most likely lies in the 
AC97 resets.

I know I promised to look into this, but I've been struck by a shortage of 
time lately and don't see the situation improving in the near future.  I'm 
very close to calling it a day with the commit bit.

I understand completely. I did not send the message because of
impatience, but to make sure that you (and others) were aware that the
patch of 9/15 did not fix the problem.

If I get some time, I'll try looking at it, but my C skills are rusty
and my familiarity with hardware (let alone BIOS) pretty much ends
with DEC Alphas and VAXen. I've been living in the network world for
10 years and can talk in detail about the design of forwarding
engines, but they have little in common with PCs.

Re: yep, umass still broken

2003-09-29 Thread Doug White
What motherboards are you using with the OHCI controller?

John-Mark Gurney (jmg@) and I kicked this around at bsdcon but couldn't
reproduce it.  If its a common board or chipset we can probably get it and
work on the issue.  The zeroed block showed up in 8KB boundaries in the
instance we saw, which is asupicious since most OHCI controllers have a
DMA limitation of 1 page crossing.

I have a ppro with Intel OHCI which I haven't tested yet.

 -- End of Message

 You may not want to blame the umass driver.  I've been doing a little
 experimenting trying to get a handle on what's going on.  Luckily I have two
 machines sitting side-by-side, one with OHCI and one with UHCI.  Many of the
 UMASS devices I have fail with 5.1-CURRENT on the OHCI machine but work just
 fine on the UHCI system.

 Here's the note I sent as a followup to kern/54982:
   I am encountering this problem as well.  What I've seen so far is this:

   1. The corruption does not occur with all UMASS devices.  For example, I
   see data corruption with a Creative Labs MUVO (128M) and NEXDISK (256M)
   devices, but not with an Easydisc (128M) device.

   2. I've only seen the corruption with OHCI based controllers.  When I
   connect the same device to a UHCI based machine, built from an identical
   copy of the source tree, I see no corruption.

   3. The pattern of corruption is decidely non-random.  If you view the
   file as a series of 4K blocks numbered 0 to N, the corruption I've seen
   follows the following pattern:
  (B == a zero filled 4k block)

   Original: 0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 15 ...
   Corrupt:  0  3  2  B  4  7  6  B  8 11 10  B 12 15 14  B ...

   I can provide logs of a file copy done on both the OHCI and UHCI based
   systems done with hw.usb.debug=3 hw.usb.uhci.debug=6 hw.usb.ohci.debug=6
   and hw.usb.umass.debug=4294901760 if you wish.  They are far too long to
   attach here.

   This test was last run on 5.1-CURRENT cvsup'd on Sep 17th 2003.

 I'm presently updating both machines to -CURRENT cvsup'd this afternoon.

 I haven't gotten to the point where I understand the interactions between
 umass, ohci/uhci and cam well enough to even hazzard a guess about where the
 corruption is occuring.

Hi !

  I use the /dev/sysmouse and moused, not quite sure
 why but that's how I've always used my mouse (PS2 or USB) with
 FreeBSD.  Could this have something to do with the mouse feeling
 sloppy?

Hmmm, I never used moused and always /dev/psm0 in X.
Still experience the same thing.

 I'm not convinced this is the right direction to move in.  The problem

 with network interface cloning, but tun, tap, and vmnet aren't.
 
 I'm totally don't-care on the semantics of any and all of these,

SiL3112 SATA (RAID) Controller drives aren't working at all.

2003-09-29 Thread Gabriel Ambuehl
The drivers in 28.9.JPSNAP of current will allow you to install
FreeBSD on a SATA disk connected to a Silicon Image 3112 SATA RAID
controller but not much more. Shortly after booting, the system will
start getting UDMA timeouts and basically just freezes. Furthermore,
the disks connected to the controller will ALWAYS show up as
individual disks in the setup, no matter if they are alone, in a
stripe set or a real RAID 1 array.

Seeing that this probably belongs in Soren's domain, is there any
possibility to add some function to atacontrol to allow rebuilding
without having hotswap on HPT/Promise chipsets? (I know the Windows
drivers of both can do so, so imagine the feature has to be
somewhere).

Re: Bluetooth patch

2003-09-29 Thread John Hay
Hi Maksim,

 I have prepared Bluetooth mega patch for FreeBSD source tree. This patch
 updates FreeBSD sources to the most recent snapshot. The patch is quite
 extensive - it adds two new libraries (libbluetooth and libsdp) as well
 as puts some files into /etc/bluetooth and modifies quite a few other files.
 I also have modified Makefile's to add new libraries and usr.{s}bin/bluetooth
 to the build. 
 
 I've sent it to Julian and Ruslan, but they do not have free time to look
 at it. If anyone wants to review the patch please do so and let me know if
 i missed/forget anything. 
 
 The patch could be downloaded from
 
 http://www.geocities.com/m_evmenkin/patch/bluetooth20030914.diff.gz

I had a look at the patch and here is my comments. I haven't tried it
yet, but I did try your latest snapshot. I haven't looked at the man
page markup, someone more knowledgable can do that, or it can be
committed and then Ruslan can have a look at it when he gets time.

There are lots of $FreeBSD$ changes. In a lot of the files that is the only
change.

The additions in lib/Makefile, share/man/man5/Makefile should be sorted
alphabetically.

I think libbluetooth and libsdp should be added to share/mk/bsd.libnames.mk
and then the Makefiles should be modified to use ${LIBBLUETOOTH} and ${LIBSDP}
on the DPADD lines. /usr/lib/libbluetooth.a should not be hardcoded otherwise
buildworld won't work correctly.

The + after DPADD and LDADD should be removed. It should only be used when
a Makefile have more than one DPADD or LDADD line

There should not be '-L/usr/lib' on the LDADD line.

PS. Will Julian commit it when there was a review or are you looking
for a committer too?

ATAng regression in current

2003-09-29 Thread Kevin Oberman
I had not tried ACPI for about 3 weeks due to my travel schedule. I
saw a number of updates and thought I'd give it a spin.

System: IBM T30 running CURRENT as of last Friday (9/26)
System has a master on ata0 and no devices at all on ata1.

System will no longer recover from suspend. (This is probably an ATAng

Odd ACPI behavior

2003-09-29 Thread Kevin Oberman
I recently noticed that, when I boot with ACPI on my IBM T30, I get
errors trying to probe the BIOS disabled sio1. This does not happen
under apm and happens twice(?) when booting with ACPI and happens even
though I have the line 'hint.sio.1.disabled=1' in /boot/device.hints.
From my dmesg:
sio0: type 16550A
sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio1: port may not be enabled
acpi_cmbat0: Control method Battery on acpi0
acpi_cmbat1: Control method Battery on acpi0
acpi_acad0: AC adapter on acpi0
sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0
sio1: port may not be enabled

Any idea why this is happening? It does not seem to be a serious
issue, but it is very odd.

acpidump output, full dmesg, config and whatever available on request.

I talked to Wilko prior to the DevSummit and told him that since it

and support is almost finished (I looked at it this weekend and it
appears that upcalls work, there's probably something wrong with the

done) I likely would fix Alpha in one big swoop.

At the DevSummit we failed to reach agreement that alpha should be
dropped to a tier 2 platform, but we did acknowledge that alpha needs
developers pronto. There it was also agreed that I would enter a
holding pattern (which roughly boils down to me circling between home,
work and Starbucks) until either someone fixes KSE or my weakness
shows and I do it anyway (the fact that I looked at it this weekend
means that I was pretty close to folding -- I made it to Starbucks
just in time).

I also mentioned recently (in the last couple of days) that we should
worry more about sparc64 than alpha. Simply because I think alpha is
on it's way down and should already be a tier 2 platform and sparc64
is still on its way up ... sort of.

I am still unable to use my SATA drive, it's probed incorrectly
as I posted earlier.  Reverting to the August 10th 00:00 UTC
kernel fixes this problem, so I concluded that ATAng broke this.

If it makes any difference, my model is a SiI3112 RAID
controller, but I only have one drive and it probes as ad4... the
situation doesn't improve any if I add ataraid.  But maybe
ATAng doesn't take into account the difference between a normal
and a RAID SiI 3112, if any?

Here are my dmesg's again (Sep 18th, Aug 10th kernels):
http://csociety.org/~will/dmesg.badATAng
http://csociety.org/~will/dmesg.Aug10.preATAng

The problem shown in the first dmesg still showed itself when I
tried a new kernel on Sep 25th.

Having at least on architecture with the other byte order helps
keep our code honest.  I also think that VM afflicted people tend
to think that it is a good idea to have another model in order to
keep MI separated properly from MD.

Alpha has sort of outlived its role as our token architecture,
pc98 doesn't qualify due to inbreeding, amd64 doesn't qualify
due to nepotism, ia64 is not yet there.  That leaves us only
sparc64 as candidate for that job.

Therefore I would like to keep the sparc64 port alive, even at a
pretty high cost in effort.

 Do you kldload a module at some point during your boot?  If so, that
 would explain the double probe.

Yes, it would, but I am not loading any kernel modules except the
slightly automatic loads of ACPI, itself and a few others which should
not cause a probe: ntfs, linux, linprocfs, and daemon_saver.

ACPI attaches the bus twice.  See sys/dev/acpica/acpi.c:

/*
 * Scan all of the child devices we have created and let them probe/attach.
 */
ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_OBJECTS, first bus_generic_attach\n));

Re: Bluetooth patch

2003-09-29 Thread John Hay
 
   I have prepared Bluetooth mega patch for FreeBSD source tree. This patch
   updates FreeBSD sources to the most recent snapshot.
 
 [...]
 
   The patch could be downloaded from
   
   http://www.geocities.com/m_evmenkin/patch/bluetooth20030914.diff.gz
  
  I had a look at the patch and here is my comments. I haven't tried it
  yet, but I did try your latest snapshot.
 
 good, did it (snapshot) work for you?

Yes, I got a bluetooth ppp session going between 2 FreeBSD boxes with
usb-bluetooth devices.
 
  I haven't looked at the man
  page markup, someone more knowledgable can do that, or it can be
  committed and then Ruslan can have a look at it when he gets time.
 
 i tried to follow original man page style. it is possible that i missed
 few minor things, but in general i think it should be fine. my plan was
 to double check everything after commit and deal with the issues.

That is ok.

  There are lots of $FreeBSD$ changes. In a lot of the files that is the only
  change.
 
 i see, is that a problem? i can clean up the patch and remove these entries.
 (frankly i thought CVS should take care of it).

I don't think it will break cvs, it might just cause some extra bloat.
Maybe just get rid of those parts of the patch where the only change
to the file is the $FreeBSD$ line?

  The additions in lib/Makefile, share/man/man5/Makefile should be sorted
  alphabetically.
 
 sure, i assume i should sort entries in lib/Makefile for 
 .if ${MACHINE_ARCH} == i386 section right?

Yes, that too, but inside such a block it should be alphabetical. SUBDIR
should also be alphabetical except for those mentioned in the comments at
the top of src/lib/Makefile.

  I think libbluetooth and libsdp should be added to share/mk/bsd.libnames.mk
  and then the Makefiles should be modified to use ${LIBBLUETOOTH} and
  ${LIBSDP}
  on the DPADD lines. /usr/lib/libbluetooth.a should not be hardcoded
  otherwise
  buildworld won't work correctly.
 
 ok, i missed that one :) thanks! 
  
  The + after DPADD and LDADD should be removed. It should only be used when
  a Makefile have more than one DPADD or LDADD line
  
  There should not be '-L/usr/lib' on the LDADD line.
 
 got it.
 
 so, i hope those are minor things. can they be resolved right after commit
 is done? or i must fix them and submit revised patch?

I would prefer a patch with the makefile stuff fixed so that I can push
it through a make world and a make release before committing.

  PS. Will Julian commit it when there was a review or are you looking
  for a committer too?
 
 Julian and Ruslan are busy at the moment. M. Warner Losh has sent e-mail
 to core@ and asked for commit bit for me. in the mean time i'd like to
 commit this and resolve all issues in time for 5.2-RELEASE.

I can give it a go if no one else wants to do it.

Second, there seem to be a problem with some sil3112 setups where
timeouts and what not ruins the lunch, but so far I've not been
able to reproduce..
I am still unable to use my SATA drive, it's probed incorrectly
as I posted earlier.  Reverting to the August 10th 00:00 UTC
kernel fixes this problem, so I concluded that ATAng broke this.
I am not running a very recent CURRENT but I do have ATAng from a fairly
early point and it works here.  [I have the same chipset as Will 
SiI3112A RAID]

If it makes any difference, my model is a SiI3112 RAID
controller, but I only have one drive and it probes as ad4... the
situation doesn't improve any if I add ataraid.  But maybe
ATAng doesn't take into account the difference between a normal
and a RAID SiI 3112, if any?
Even Linux probes both disks even though I have but one.

I don't use any RAID capabilities beyond enabling the hardware to access
SATA.
Here are my dmesg's again (Sep 18th, Aug 10th kernels):
http://csociety.org/~will/dmesg.badATAng
http://csociety.org/~will/dmesg.Aug10.preATAng
The problem shown in the first dmesg still showed itself when I
tried a new kernel on Sep 25th.
I'd have to reboot and see how recent my FreeBSD stuff is... I have been
rather distracted by the job which pays me salary :).

Problems with geom_bde

2003-09-29 Thread Thorsten Greiner
Hi,

inspired by the recent posting of the gbde tutorial I went out and
set up an encrypted partition using geom_bde on my laptop. When
trying to umount this partition the umount fails with:

# umount /crypto
umount: unmount of /crypto failed: Resource temporarily unavailable

and the following message gets logged:

fsync: giving up on dirty: 0xc456ec8c: tag devfs, type VCHR,
usecount 5140, writecount 0, refcount 93, flags (VV_OBJBUF),
lock type devfs: EXCL (count 1) by thread 0xc4240130
dev ad0s3a.bde

This is with a fairly recent kernel, cvsupped a few hours ago:

# uname -a
FreeBSD tybalt 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #26: Mon Sep 29
22:18:26 CEST 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/TYBALT
i386

The kernel config is a standard GENERIC with some device drivers
removed. geom_bde was loaded as a module. Please let me know if I
can provide further information.

Regards
-Thorsten

I second that. I'm not running anything heavy, background or
not. Windowmaker, a few desktops, a bunch of aterms -- that's more or

(or Mozilla if you prefer). Compile anything, and try opening or closing

This is on a Thunderbird 1200 sporting 512MB RAM. It's not exactly fast

Hey, I didn't realise the process was that far already. My initial
reaction was because it looked like nobody else reacted and I got
tired of having to add the bluetooth snap everytime. :-)

 However, if you'd like to help
 review the changes before/as they go into the tree, my feelings won't
 be hurt :-)

If you need help time wise I'd be happy to help.

John

SiI 3112A doesn't probe, take two: found the commit that broke it

2003-09-29 Thread Will Andrews
Hi,

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-src/2003-September/009918.html

src/sys/dev/ata/ata-all.c, rev 1.188
src/sys/dev/ata/ata-lowlevel.c, rev 1.8

After an exhaustive binary search, I've found this is the commit
that broke probing for my SATA disk.  Merely reverting the change
on the latest kernel doesn't compile, however.  :-\

Hope this is more helpful, Soren...

I'll just stick with the Sep 1 00:00 UTC kernel for now.  If you
have any patches you think will fix this problem feel free to ask
me to test.

Regards,
