Re: this 48-core box...
The cache alignment happens because it hits a specific size threshold, and jemalloc/phkmalloc(I think!) just round everything up to be page size aligned. The underlying problem may actually be a code change to how the math is done. It just runs slower on page-aligned alignments.. adrian On 22 September 2013 05:10, Eduardo Morras wrote: > On Sat, 21 Sep 2013 12:53:36 -0700 > Adrian Chadd wrote: > > > .. just as a data point - there was a thread a while ago about numeric > > processing performance on linux vs bsd. > > > > It all boiled down to how jemalloc versus the linux allocator(s) allocate > > blocks. jemalloc will page align things after a certain size.

Re: this 48-core box...
.. just as a data point - there was a thread a while ago about numeric processing performance on linux vs bsd. It all boiled down to how jemalloc versus the linux allocator(s) allocate blocks. jemalloc will page align things after a certain size. Linux didn't. So when doing numeric processing, there was a lot of cache aliasing going on leading to inefficient cache usage and redundant memory operations. When the same workload on Linux was run on FreeBSD but with the Linux library/allocators, the performance was identical. No-one followed through. I think I may have to write a blog post about it. -adrian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: Laptop Fn key causes X (Gnome 2) to sleep immediately

Re: FreeBSD on ThinkPad W530
Hi! Yay another FreeBSD laptop user! Please do this: * join the freebsd-mobile list; * create PRs for each of your problems with -10 above!; * the power utilisation thing is going to be fun to track down - what kind of CPU is in there? Is it a recent Intel? I'm playing around with their tools at the moment; maybe we can look at the power the CPU is consuming and then add on the power from each of the other parts in your laptop until we figure out what's drawing said power * the brightness thing is known; a bunch of us have this issue and the "fix" is known. Trouble is, there's no (yet) clean fix that's made it into acpi_ibm. I'm glad there's another person who cares; it means we have more chance of getting a real fix that works for multiple people into the tree. As for suspend/resume - I'm glad it at least works for you. Right now I don't even get video output upon resume. But, it's a starting point. Let's get the PRs filed, the brightness thing pushed into -HEAD, and then start down the path of figuring out where the power consumption is coming from. -adrian On 13 August 2013 15:21, vermaden wrote: > Hi, > > I have just tried FreeBSD on ThinkPad W530 and I must say that its very > disapointing experience ... > > The FreeBSD 9.2-RC1 and PC-BSD 9.2-BETA2 does not even boot from the USB > drive - instant kernel panic and reboot. > > The FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT was able to boot successfully and I could install > FreeBSD onto the drive with 'ZFS Madnss' style. > > After installation with extended battery charged to 100% I have about 3 > hours of work ... while having about 10 hours on Windows (haven't tried > Linux yet).

Re: Please help me diagnose this crazy VMWare/FreeBSD 8.x crash
Hi, can you please, -please- file a PR? And place all of the above information in it so we don't lose it? If this is indeed the problem then I really think we should root cause why the driver and/or interrupt handling code is getting angry with the shared interrupt. I'd also appreciate it if you and the other people who can reproduce this could work with the em/mpt driver people and root cause why this is going. I think having FreeBSD on vmware work stable out of the box without these kinds of tweaks is the way to go - who knows what else is lurking here.. I'm very very glad you've persisted with this and if I had them, I'd send you a "FreeBSD persistent bug reporter!" t-shirt.

Re: Please help me diagnose this crazy VMWare/FreeBSD 8.x crash
Again, it's starting to sound like an interrupt handling issue which may or may not be limited to the storage device. You'll have to engage someone who knows those device drivers and likely have them add some debugging to the driver which can be easily flipped on (via binaries in a ramdisk - very important if you can't run sysctl because your disk IO has locked up!) to see what the current state of things. It's likely that the BSD mpt(4) and other storage drivers, and/or our interrupt handling code, is just slightly different enough to confuse the snot out of VMWare. I'd first look at the obvious - (eg, if you've just stopped receiving interrupts, even if new IO is scheduled). I'd also ask VMware if they have any tools that they can run on a VM to get the state of the internal emulated driver. For example, register dumps of the device to see if it's in a hung state, register dumps of the PIC/APIC to see what state they're in, etc. Maybe pull in someone like ixsystems and see if they can help debug this kind of stuff? If you're paying vmware for support, you could pull them into things with ixsystems and see if the two of them can help you sort this out?

Re: Please help me diagnose this crazy VMWare/FreeBSD 8.x crash
Hi, * have you filed a PR? * is the crash easily reproducable? * are you able to boot some ramdisk-only FreeBSD-8.2 images (eg create a ramdisk image using nanobsd?) and do some stress testing inside that? It sounds like you've established it's a storage issue, or at least interrupt handling for storage issue. So I'd definitely try the ramdisk-only boot and thrash it using lighttpd/httperf or something. If that survives fine, I'd look at trying to establish whether there's something wrong in the disk driver(s) freebsd is using. I'm not that cluey on ESXi, but there may be some PIC/APIC/ACPI change between 7.x and 8.0 which has caused this to surface. 2c, Adrian ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

The problem is that someone doesn't own the problem. If I commit someone's fix to the tree without really understanding what's going on, I take ownership of that change and any issues/breakages/changes that it creates. The people responsible for these areas are likely very busy with other things. It's not that they don't want to help! It's much more likely that they don't have the time. Trivial patches aren't always so trivial. You can change the behaviour of something subtle which works great for you and not for others. This is very likely what's going on with IO/CPU scheduling. It's a tricky area. A simple fix isn't always as simple. So if there's a diagnosed problem, with reproducable test cases and some patches which fix it, I suggest doing something like the following: * create a webpage, even if it's a wiki somewhere (even wiki.freebsd.org if you ask someone nicely) * dump all the information you can in there. Having stuff in emails is great - but it's only really helpful for tracking the 'flow' of a discussion. Having a summarised analysis of all of that on a webpage is much more helpful. * Add the patches there. * Encourage people who aren't in your immediate community to try them too - to try and find if your changes mess up other configurations somehow. * Be persistent trying to get your changes in. If you've done the background research, done some wide-spread testing and show you've not caused any obvious regressions, you're much more likely to get your changes in. With all of that done, you can likely find a committer who will help you get your fixes into the tree. Please just try not to interpret a lack of response as a lack of interest. There's only so much time in the day and committers tend to be a busy bunch, with day jobs that may in no way reflect their FreeBSD interests. Finally, if people do enough of the above and begin to take ownership of parts of the tree, you'll find someone will likely sponsor you for a commit bit.

Re: My FreeBSD-current/Xen install notes
2009/5/20 Saifi Khan : > Could you please share 'your insight' on the > 'set of virtualization problems' that Xen solves ? Xen lets you run multiple versions of modified OSes on the same box. Each OS for the most part can treat its small pool of resources as its own. It hides the underlying hardware from the virtual domain (although its apparently quite popular to break out bits of hardware to appear in the virtual domain.) The Xen paravirtualisation stuff in -theory- should be more lightweight than full hardware virtualisation and it should perform better. In practice? That's very much workload dependant. Xen also lets you write "other" OSes without needing to care about the hardware. One of my friends bootstrapped a toy OS of his inside Xen. He can then run it on any and all Xen boxes, unmodified, regardless of the underlying hardware. That really hasn't been exploited to its full potential though.

These solve different problem sets. :) People seem to think "virtualisation" is "virtualisation". It isn't. It depends on what kind(s) of problems you're trying to solve.

Re: FreeBSD bind performance in FreeBSD 7
(Sorry for top posting.)
Its not actually -that- bad an idea to compare different applications.
It sets the "bar" for how far the entire system {hardware, OS,
application, network} can be pushed.
If nsd beats bind9 by say 5 or 10% over all, then its nothing to write
home about. If nsd beats bind9 by 50% and shows similar
kernel/interrupt space time use then thats something to stare at. Even
if its just because nsd 'does less' and gives more CPU time to
system/interrupt processing you've identified that the system -can- be
pushed harder, and perhaps working with the bind9 guys a little more
can identify what they're doing wrong.
Thats how I noticed the performance differences between various
platforms running Squid a few years ago - for example, gettimeofday()
being called way, way too frequently - and I compare Squid's
kernel/interrupt time; syscall footprint; hwpmc/oprofile traces; etc
against other proxy-capable applications (varnish, lighttpd, apache)
to see exactly what they're doing differently.

Re: geli load key before rootfs is mounted
Chris wrote: I think you maybe running into a bug in 6.1 where the keyboard wont respond during the boot process. Of course you don't notice because keystrokes have no visual feedback at password input. Try adding this line to "/boot/device.hint" on your boot media: hint.kbdmux.0.disabled="1" I'm booting an encrypted root file system fine with GELI. Thank's for the tip. After reinitializing the geli device with -b flag, it works. Before, I used an rc script to geli attach, my mistake. Of course, rc scripts are read after boot. It seems loader.conf contents (which are exactly as before) are somehow ignored if the -b flag for that device is missing. I didn't dig for the details. Without the hint for kbdmux, it freezes. Or at least appears so, because it has no reaction to anything pressed. After adding the hint, it will attach the geli device correctly, however, the kernel fault traps right after that. I'm wondering if this is still a kbdmux issue, perhaps removing it from the kernel is better. -- Alin-Adrian Anton GPG keyID 0x183087BA (B129 E8F4 7B34 15A9 0785 2F7C 5823 ABA0 1830 87BA) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0x183087BA "It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong." - Voltaire ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Tyan S3950 and amd64 FreeBSD fails on bootup
Dear group, I got a problem with a new AMD Opteron box, when I bot FreeBSD 6.1 (amd64) I get this: fBSD/i386 bootstrap revision 1.1 kernel text= data= sym= at-xy not found [regdump] BTX halted I've put a (very bad) screenshot online here: http://www.hta-bi.bfh.ch/~gea2/freebsdamd.jpg It's a Tyan S3950 Mainboard which is on the list of devices that work at least for some people: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=104661 Specs of the machine: * CPU: AMD Dual Core A64 X2 4200+ / 2x2200MHz / 2x512KB Cache * Motherboard: TYAN 3950 AM2 with VGA / 2x Gbit Intel LAN (4 DIMM) I use a 3ware SATA RAID controller, the onboard one does not have to work and is on PATA compatibility mode already for the CDROM. I've booted this CD image: 6.1-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso I couldn't find anything useful with google or in the release notes/errata. Interestingly I can't find *anything* useful for the "at-xy not found" error message (which is really happening like this). The vendor ships a SUSE Linux with this box which works fine, also Fedora 6 amd64 boots just fine on it. I'm a bit lost now, especially because I cannot even disable anything in the kernel like this.

geli load key before rootfs is mounted
Hi, I've been playing around with geli and I was wondering if anyone managed to actually use the feature which loads the keyfile before the root filesystem is mounted. Specifically, to use something similar in /boot/loader.conf: geli_da1s3a_keyfile0_load="YES" geli_da1s3a_keyfile0_type="da1s3a:geli_keyfile0" geli_da1s3a_keyfile0_name="/boot/keys/da1s3a.key" If it worked, please let me know. I couldn't do it on a 6.1-REL0. (keeps saying password is wrong, probably because it doesn't "see" the keyfile). Of course, the .key file is on unencrypted media.

Re: help installing FreeBSD
If I'm not mistaken, I believe this is a long-time bug in the installer. I've installed several times seeing this error and never had a problem. However, to be safe you could always manually specify the geometry of your disk in the fdisk utility during install. I'm confused. At what point are you pressing Alt-F2? There isn't any point during the installation, that I can think of, that requires you hitting Alt-F2. Though, in reference the short error message above, I would first recommend verifying the checksum of your ISO and then reburning it - start with the simple things :). -David -- I'm sorry, I think I didn't explain it very well... When I choose the media type, a message is shown warning that '...this is the last chance... we can take no responsabillity". I hit 'ok' and then a message appears saying 'writing partitions...' and a few seconds later appears one message saying 'Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/ad0s1a! Command returned status 36' (sometimes the 'Command returned status 1'). I hit 'ok' and then appears: 'Couldn't make filesystems properly. Aborting'. And finally the last message I receive is 'Instalation completed with some errors. You may wish to scroll through...' At this point is where I press Alt+F2 and the errors (the WRITE_DMA errors) are shown. Is not necessary to press Alt+F2 but I read it somewhere. I hope you know now where do these errors are shown, if not please respond me again and I'll try to explain it better. By the way, I don't think is the checksum because I was trying to install FreeBSD 5.4 at first and the same error occured, but I will check the checksum, is just that... excuse my ignorance, but what is the checksum of my ISO image and how do I verify it Sorry I know that is a stupid question... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Re: Has the port collection become to large to handle.
And what about the case of a port that would be built many times over its lifetime, mainly due to program version changes? The first one that springs to mind would be Firefox. Firefox has had a number of version changes in the same space of time that Exim, a very commonly used mail server application, has been updated, and assuming an even distribution of mail servers and desktop users with firefox, firefox would appear to be 10-20 times more active over it's lifetime. And your point being? It is also common for people with a desktop computer to format their HDD every 3 months or so, and every time this occured, the desktop PC ports (Xorg, Firefox, KDE/XFCE/GNOME, OpenOffice.org, etc.) would get a rebuild/redownload, again throwing the stastics out of whack. No its still being used isnt it which is what we are interested in. I'm sorry, but when I read the continual posts on this topic, all stated that the count would occur while installing, not in usage. If the suggestion was that the FreeBSD system would report what packages where being used on a regular basis (the only way to properly record what ports/packages were being used), then that is an entirely seperate discussion, and one that I have not addressed to this point. However, If that was your suggestion, then I am extremely glad that is not how the ports system currently operates, for the same reason I am glad that spyware is not installed on my computer.

If at least one person uses a port it is justified and I very much like that most tiny apps I search for in the ports tree do indeed exist. How would you define commonly used ports? we would end up with a favouritism system in place and many arguments about which ports would be included in the commonly used group, you also forget that many ports that may look meaningless from where you sit are necessary as dependants to other ports. There would be not arguments as stats dont lie. Please read the entire thread there are some good ideas in there which would speed up day to day use of ports for everyone. Where you get the idea that ports is quick to maintain is beyond me it takes a good 30mins to sync up if your a few months out of date now a days. 30mins is not much if you have 1 machine but add it all up for a large number of machines and its a significant amount of time which we all could better spend doing other things instead of waiting for a cvsup to complete. This is why there are options in place that would allow you to download the cvsup to one of you computers, likely a server of some sort, and your other computers all retrieve the CVSup from this local server, significantly speeding up the retrieval time and decreasing the load on the primary servers, a win for everyone. If you have computers of varying architectures or in seperated geographical locations this would not work as worded, but from your wording it sounded like you had a local LAN of computers. Ohh, and for your informations, statistics do lie, that is the point of statistical analysis, which I spent 1 1/2 years of my life studying before changing into my current Software Engineering/Computer Security degree. And, the arguements would arise from the "common" ports/packages directory, a suggestion of fbsd's I believe, whereby common ports that would not be built often primarily due to their size, and so wouldn't show up in statistics (such as Gnome, KDE, OpenOffice, and a number of others), would be placed into a common directory of the ports/packages tree, and would be exempt from these statistics. The arguements would arise over what should be placed into this "common" directory.

Spadge wrote: fbsd wrote: fbsd wrote: * so working with in that same procedure the maintainer passes the packages to the audit people and they pass it on. No problem with this at all. Thus removing any kind of streamlining to speed up releases of new versions? the port make method will still be there for all ports with limited usage history, it will just not have a package for it because it has limited usage. And this is the crux of the matter. Would phpmyadmin have a php5/mysql4 version? Or do the majority of users use php4 still? And are there more test boxes than there are production servers? Is it fair to say the most commonly used ports are not the most commonly used packages? I would imagine that something like KDE would be a hugely popular package, on account of the sheer size of the beast, but that it wouldn't be the most popular port due to the number of people who don't run a GUI on their system. There is also the fact that you could fairly easily abuse this system if you wanted your software to be included in the 'most commonly used' list, by just hammering the server. There is no privacy issues. Passing cookies is normal and done as matter of fact by most commercial websites and any website that uses php session control makes cookies by default. This is a no-issue issue. Every browser on the planet has the option to disable cookies (in the same way that email clients have the option of indenting quoted text - it's a standard required feature). This is because it is a privacy issue. Different people have different views on what privacy is or isn't, and that's nine tenths of the entire point: we don't get to decide what their privacy levels are, they do. I can totally understand why you think this system would be better for you. I just hope you can understand why it wouldn't be better for everyone, nor even for the majority of people. Now, Marc G. Fournier's dynamic personalised ports tree suggestion ... that's a *real* idea. Agreed in full. Cookies and similar are, in my opinion, invasive, and this is why I have my browser set to ask me each time, and get rid of anf I accept when I close the browser. But other people love the benefits of cookies. Choice is the only real power. And, Marc G. Fournier definitely had something with his description of how the port system should work, when I read his post I was thinking that is exactly how I would have designed it as well (admittedly, when it was designed, it wasn't the size it is now).

However, these files in 6.0-RELEASE erroneously include checksums for the checksum files themselves. Although the checksums look like wrong, they can be safely ignored because a checksum for the checksum file never corresponds to one in the file. This problem will be fixed in the next releases. Well, looks like it was 6.0 that I was referring to, however, if you have had the same issue with 6.1 from 2 different locations (unless your connection and TCP/IP protocol is dodgy), I would think that maybe they did not resolve this issue.

Lucky we have a slightly fast connection (155Mbps)... Slightly fast? What do you call fast? :-) By the way, is it really dangerous to ignore these checksums that doesn't match with the published one? What's the reason behind this bad checksum mismatch??. It generally indicates that the file was corrupted during transmission. It could, however, happen because the site you're downloading from is serving a corrupt version. A checksum mismatch basically indicates that the file is not as it should be. You may still be able to use it without any adverse impact, but then again, you may not. It's also possible that someone has intentionally corrupted the file for sinister purposes. I'd strongly recommend not using it. It's probably worth trying to download the file again, from another mirror. Thanks From what I read about the checksums for 6.1, the checksum was generated with a checksum actually being present in the ISO (which was then overwritten by the newly developed checksum). As such, the checksum will never match, as a checksum can never match if it is included in the file that is being checksummed (well, in theory, it is possible for it to match, but the algorithm to calculate it and processing power required is astronomically complex). It is possible I am thinking of a different FreeBSD ISO, but I am sure it was one of the 6's, and there are only 2 of those.
