[rtl] sample floating point crash code ... any ideas?

2000-04-13 Thread David J. Christini

Below is a pared down version of my rt_process.c. I've cut out all COMEDI
data acquisition and FIFO stuff. I'm running rtlinux-2.3 on a single
processor computer without SMP support. I use mbuff-0.7.0 for shared
memory.

If I compile it with:
gcc -D INT_G -I/usr/src/rtl/linux/include -I/usr/src/rtlinux-2.3 
-I/usr/src/rtlinux-2.3/include -I/usr/src/rtlinux-2.3/include/posix -Wall 
-Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -D__RTL__ -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -pipe -fno-strength-reduce 
-m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -g -c -o 
rt_process_tmp.o rt_process.c; ld -r -static rt_process_tmp.o -o rt_process.o 
-L/usr/lib -lm; rm -f rt_process_tmp.o   
my shared memory variable g is int, and the process runs fine.

If I compile it with:
gcc -D FLOAT_G -I/usr/src/rtl/linux/include -I/usr/src/rtlinux-2.3 
-I/usr/src/rtlinux-2.3/include -I/usr/src/rtlinux-2.3/include/posix -Wall 
-Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -D__RTL__ -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -pipe -fno-strength-reduce 
-m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -g -c -o 
rt_process_tmp.o rt_process.c; ld -r -static rt_process_tmp.o -o rt_process.o 
-L/usr/lib -lm; rm -f rt_process_tmp.o   
my shared memory variable g is float, and my computer occasionally, but
not always, crashes at the first occurence of:  sh_mem->g/=2;

Note that I think (although it's difficult to know for sure with this sort
of "random" phenomenon) that if it runs fine once, it seems that it will
always run fine unless I reboot the computer. After rebooting, it may run
fine again. After rebooting again, it may run fine again, etc. But, sooner
or later, I'll reboot, insmod rt_process, and my system crashes.

The code is at the end of this message, preceded by some possibly useful
module and dmesg stuff.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave

Victor, 

I double-checked the patching - there are no ".rej" files. 
I have used the smp_patch2 that you've sent me (diff shows it is identical to 
test_tlb_fix_patch.2.1.14.B patch on ftp.fsmlabs.com/pub/rtlinux/v2).

Thanks,

Sergey.

Thissounds like  a patch that did not take: try find . '*.rej'
in the linux directory.

[rtl] [Fwd: [uCsimm] another note for RT-uClinux]

2000-04-13 Thread Bernhard Kuhn

Just another x-posting that might be interessting for some rt-people ...


Hi, all

i want to say that you need not feel unhappy after read my note
about 130 usec latency. Because it is only for timer task.
If you use rt_request_IRQ (like sampler.c) for hardware interrupt then
time for rtl_scheduler does not need (priority is resolved by hardware)
So for h/w interrupt latency might be near 50 usec.

And for timer task:
real world concern is not latency. If 130 usec latency is constant,
every timer event would be delayed 130 usec. therefore in view of
outside device there is no drift.  External device could not know that
every timer event is delayed 130 usec.  They just see constant interval
timer event.  In my guess and with experiment, 130 usec latency 
is stable, saying +/- 50 usec?

RT-uClinux could be said that (just my opinion)
1. time drift is bellow 50 usec
2. interrupt latency is about 50 usec.
3. lovely linux for non rt task.
and this might be comparable with commercial RTOS's.

But as you know,
it need more experiment. please do not trust what i said, trust yourself
and your own experimental result.

Thanks.
kwonsk.

[rtl] [Fwd: [uCsimm] RT for uClinux]

2000-04-13 Thread Bernhard Kuhn

Kwonsk allways forgets to broadcast his improvements widely ...


Hi, all.

Improving RTsupport for uClinux (EZ328) was done.
internal timer handling code was changed. Instead of using restarting mode,
new code is using free run mode. this change removed  timer overrun
(occur when TCMP is smaller than interrupt latency).

It's timing result is very impressive to me.  Toggling example (same code as
previous
release) shows almost no drift.  It might be  bellow 50 usec.  I could not
say exact
timing because of my poor analog oscilloscope.

I'm preparing diff for you, and you could get it soon.
Some measurement :
1) from h/w interrupt to rt_oneshot_timer_irq = ~50 usec
2) time for rtl_schduler (priority resolver) = ~80 usec

therefore time from actual h/w interrupt signal to corresponding rt_task
is about 130 usec. and this time is almost constant (tested with
memory logging free-running TCN value and scope). This latency
could be reduced with asm code but it sacrifies portability and
easy maintenance. Do not request too much for this little lovely EZ328
please. :-)

Q) why need about 130 usec? A) RTIME calc needs more instructions.

Ping flood test (network load) did not change this value significantly.

Thanks.
kwonsk.

Re: [rtl] SMP error

2000-04-13 Thread Sergey Osechinskiy

Hello all, 

I have tried the second patch (tlb2), got the same result - page fault "Unable to 
handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at ..." after rtl_init()  ("RTL started") is 
called in start_kernel() and kernel init thread is created. And few minutes later 
"stuck on TLB IPI wait (CPU#0)" messages appear. 
I am getting a similar result with rtai-1.2a/linux-2.2.14. Page fault occurs whenever 
rt_mount_rtai() is called in init_module(). Interesting detail, few minutes later the 
internal speaker turns ON and stays ON till hard reboot. The system hangs when INIT is 
sending processes the TERM signal  (halt, reboot). 

(See attached file with page fault details for rtlinux and rtai).

So, the problem is really not in TLB IPI, but rather in page fault that occurs (why 
???).
 
I think, we have some profound problem with the hardware. My system has an 82440FX 
(Natoma) chipset, PIIX3 ISA bridge and IDE controller, Intel 82093AA IOAPIC. The 
configuration is quite different from the default configuration in Intel MP V1.4 spec:
APIC base at 0xFEC08000 (default 0xFEE0)
IOAPIC base at 0xFEC0 (same as default)
24 registers in IOAPIC (default is 16)
Local APIC ID: 0 (CPU #0)
Local APIC ID: 4 (CPU #4, default 1 ???) 
IOAPIC ID: 13
Local APIC and IOAPIC version 17
Virtual Wire compatibility mode is implemented

Linux is getting all SMP information from BIOS MPtable Ok and mapping local APICs and 
IOAPIC allright.

I was playing with different configuration adjustments (streamlined linux kernel, 
disabled fault resilent boot, redirect PCI interrupts to IOAPIC enabled/disabled, MTRR 
patch, fix for PCI passive release problem in 440FX, double-checking the installation 
etc.), they all seem to be irrelevant.

Rtai-1.2 UP works fine on my system.

I keep digging, for good thing this problem got me interested to learn more about SMP. 
 

Sergey.

[rtl] More problems with floating point operations

Hi,

Two days ago, we have send you a mail ([rtl] floating point) where we
explain a problem with fp. We have expect correcting the problem by
changing the rtf. After some reboots, we still run in the same problem.
When we use fp, we freeze/reboot the computer... its depends of the
operations, the order of the operations and the number of operations.

We have tested the program on two differents computer, a P100 and a P200
running rtl2 and linux 2.2.13. The code have been send on this mailing list
some days ago. If you want a copy, I can make reply on request.

Stephane and Sylvain

[rtl] Semaphore source

2000-04-13 Thread Dominick Trascritti

Where can I get the latest and greatest code for Semaphores. I have
downloaded the code from rtlinux website, but the link to the authors site
is broken. I noticed that there was bug reports to the mailing list archive,
but the date on the archive on the RTLinux website predates these bug
reports and fix confirmations.

I am looking to get the semaphores to work in RTLinux 2.2. Thanks in
advance.

2000-04-13 Thread Ivan Martinez

Hi,
My system crashes when a real time thread tries to access a global
variable defined in its module. Is not that operation possible?. Thank
you.

You need to use a mutex.  Under RTAI you can use the conventional
pthread_mutex_lock and pthread_mutex_unlock.  As always, be very careful
with your design as mutex_lock, could easily be mutex_deadlock :-)

Hi Dmirty,

You need to statically link with libgcc.a (-lgcc), on my machine it can
be found at

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-glibc20-linux/egcs-2.90.29/

If you have a different compiler version, you will need to alter the
path accordingly
