Re: [PATCH v2] powerpc/ptrace: remove BUG_ON when full register set not available

To be clear, this happens when the signal causing the core dump races
with a thread exiting.  The race happens when the exiting thread has
entered the kernel for the last time before the signal arrives, but
doesn't get far enough through the exit code to avoid being included
in the core dump.  So we get a thread included in the core dump which
is never going to go out to userspace again and only has a partial
register set recorded.  Normally we would catch each thread as it is
about to go into userspace and capture the full register set then.
However, this exiting thread is never going to go out to userspace
again, so we have no way to capture its full register set.  It doesn't
really matter, though, as this is a thread which is effectively
already dead.

Paul.

[PATCH v2] gianfar: Fall back to software tcp/udp checksum on older controllers

2011-03-16 Thread Alex Dubov
As specified by errata eTSEC49 of MPC8548 and errata eTSEC12 of MPC83xx,
older revisions of gianfar controllers will be unable to calculate a TCP/UDP
packet checksum for some alignments of the appropriate FCB. This patch checks
for FCB alignment on such controllers and falls back to software checksumming
if the alignment is known to be bad.

Signed-off-by: Alex Dubov 
---
Can we, please, proceed with this patch?
The issue is badly annoying, breaking quite a few of the MPC8548 chips.

Changes for v2:
   - Make indentation slightly more consistent.
   - Replace bizarre switch-based condition with plain boring one.

Not that I remember off the top of my head, but I think they've been lost
in my backlog. Could you re-send the current series with the appropriate
acked-bys? If there's nothing else obvious outstanding I'll roll them in.

[PATCH v2] powerpc/ptrace: remove BUG_ON when full register set not available

2011-03-16 Thread Michael Wolf
In some cases during a threaded core dump not all 
the threads will have a full register set.  This
will cause problems when the sigkill is sent to
the thread.  To solve this problem a poison value
(0xdeadbeef) will be placed in the buffer in place 
of the actual register values.  This will affect
gpr14 to gpr31.

Powerpc gcc error for mpc8315erdb board

2011-03-16 Thread Vasanth Ragavendran

Hi

I am facing a problem with my powerpc gcc. Actually i am using a ltib to
configure the kernel and the file system for my mpc8315erdb board from linux
2.6 host machine. and the installation of kernel and filesystem is
successful. i don't have "make" installed in the board and i wanted to
compile cgic library  (an ANSI C library for cgi) for the board, hence i
compiled it on the linux host machine itself but instead of using gcc i used
powerpc-e300c3-linux-gnu-gcc which corresponds to the gcc of the mpc8315erdb
board. however i get an error saying

powerpc-e300c3-linux-gnu-gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such
file or directory

however powerpc-e300c3-linux-gnu-gcc is present in /usr/local/bin on the
linux host machine and this directory is part of the path. so powerpc does
exist on the host machine.

if the error comes on the host linux then i would look for
/usr/libexec/gcc/i486-slackware-linux/4.2.4/ but how do i rectify in this
scenario. the makefile for the cgic was modified according to the powerpc
architecture and i am attaching here below. Kindly help! plz!

Hmm, strange, include  should be enough to use
__vmalloc with 'PAGE_KERNEL' AFAICS, and we have this include... I'll
try to look better.

Try adding asm/pgtable.h

Also, the Pegasos2 OF implementation corrected these issues.

Notice that 2006 was also the year that debian sabotaged all powerpc work, 
and had me expulsed because some people in the debian-installer team didn't 
support technical critics and had more political pull inside debian than
myself. This happening after almost a decade of me giving my time to debian, 
i kind of lost interest at that point, and nobody stepped up to take over my 
work.

And on top of that, Franz Pop commited suicide last year, which could possibly
have been avoided if debian's leadership would have showed more maturity and
responsability back then. 

Sorry for the off topic rant, but this is something which did take a really
long time for me to get over, and i believe that the debian folk are still not
ready to let it go. I am still censored on debian mailing lists today and 
probably
banned from irc channels.

Sadly,

Sven Luther
