: CPU refactoring status....

The hardwaremain become more tidy. 

How about the progress about the romcc? I hope I can enable debug info while
include all ati support stuff.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Eric W. Biederman) writes:


 The next big task is to get make the SMP cpu initialization methods
 normal device tree methods.  I have everything ready to do that
 except I need a good way to get the information in the struct
 mem_range array by sizeram().   My gut feel is that I want to
 incorporate the sizeram functionality into the resource allocator,

Moving sizeram into read_resources/set_resources comes out fairly
clean, but it did require some grunt work.  

That has allowed me to sort out the device tree and have a fairly
generic method of initializing cpus.  Cpus don't fit into device
model methods as nicely as I would like (largely because their
methods have to run on the cpu in question).  But it does work
well enough I can remove the special case from hardwaremain.
I still have a special case in the root_device methods but
that can be overridden, if necessary.

Because I have restructured where things fall in the device tree.
Because I have removed the sizeram call.
Because I have refactored x86 cpu handling.
Because I have removed the array initial_apic_id.

Every port in the tree is likely to break when I check this code in.

I have the arima/hdama working and I can with a little care 
fix up the k8 based ports.

I can also likely fixup the recent e7501 forward port from the
freebios tree.

However beyond that I don't have testing resources to fix things up
so I am looking for some feedback before I break everything.

When in the next week or so is a good time?

Does any one have concerns about this set of changes?

I have attached my current version of hardwaremain below
to give a feel of what the changes look like.

Ok now I am off to bed.  Before I commit anything I am going to let
the code sit a little.  

Good Night,

The major bug that was causing the core dump is fixed.  As far as
improving the optimizations things are working well enough it
is not killing me at the moment.  At this point I feel more
urgency for getting the APIs in the freebios2 tree to the point
where we can comfortably freeze them.

Thinking about it size is a significant factor so if I can't reduce
the about of inlining in romcc we have some structural changes that
are needed at least on x86.  So that needs to come before a final
freeze as well.

YHLu your mailer currently breaks threads, because it does include
a references line for older messages.  Could see if that can be fixed?
It makes it hard to keep all of the pieces of a conversation together.

Filo Error Help

Hello,

  I'm using Linux BIOS with etherboot-filo.  I have a usb stick has a

This same elf works fine in etherboot.  Any sugestions?

I got that problem for my SiSFB Lite too. On some version of the VGA 
core, it take two set modes to actually set the hardware to the correct
vide mode. Probably you can try the same trick.

 Are you sure about the official SiS driver? For me the 2.6 SiS driver seem 
 to be nearly the same Thomas Winischhofer released on his site. And he stated 
 that he had no help from SiS.
 

He based his code on a very old official SiS release. SiS lost their 
interest in supporting that stuff after a few public releases and pretty
much abandoned it. I am really amazed that he could figure out their
code without any support from SiS (and persisted for such a long 
period).

 Eric, would it make sense for you to send a few of us the tree so we can

 i'd like to take a week or two on this if needed to make sure we are all 
 good on it. It looks like a very useful set of changes. 

Thinking about this some more.  I think what makes the most sense is
for me to create a branch on of the freebios2 tree and check the code in
there.  That way everyone will have access to it, but nothing will immediately
break.

Then we can take and merge everything into the mainline once the code reviews
and whatever are completed.

I need to purge the nda bits from my tree before I give it to anyone, anyway.

Ron does a branch sound good?

This exact same elf boots up fine with etherboot.
In fact I have etherboot-filo configured to boot off of the

But when I use USB and this same elf, it gets a crc error
during the initrd portion.  It loads the kernel fine though.
