The KS8695 register addresses are not mapped into user space.
You cannot access them (using __raw_readl(), etc) in a user
space program.

Re: [uClinux-dev] Re: xcopilot no longer supported?

2008-09-16 Thread Greg Ungerer
  I do development for several different targets and
OSes, and you can't assuming you can install things with names
like m68k-elf-gcc in /usr/local/bin without conflicts.  So the
uclinux tools are installed in /opt/uclinux instead of
/usr/local.

But, I can't figure out where that bogus path is being set. The
most portable thing to do would be to do something like the
following (in bash syntax):

  $(dirname $(${CROSS_COMPILE}-gcc --print-libgcc-file))/include

Anyhow, I'll add a symlink from /usr/local/lib/gcc/m68k-uclinux
and try again...

Greg

This latest version of the iproute2 package is broken for all

I guess the lesson is that the odds are pretty close to zero
for anything not on your list of tested targets.

One might wonder why the other targets are even listed as
choices.


Because they once worked. And in many cases can be gotten to
work again with a little effort. Patches to fix most welcome.

If I do download a broken image into the device, is there a

In a manual for SG3xx/SG5xx firewalls, I've found a procedure
for recovering some newwer snapgear models that requires a set
of two firmware files (an .sgr file and an .sgu file).
However, I can only find an .sgu file for the PRO.


Further research indicates that for the PRO, you don't use
separate .sgr and .sgu files and everything is bundled up
inside a Windows executable (a somewhat nasty method to
distribute updates for Linux machines).


Of course you have to remember that most people using these
devices are not Linux aware at all. These are "consumer" level
devices.

Anyway, the windows exectuable is not neccessary at all
in this process. It is for those non-Linux aware users.



 I would have preferred
to use my existing bootp/tftp setup, but I suppose I can set up
a Windows machine should the need arise. :/


No need. The underlying process is just dhcp/tftp. Nothing
special required. Hold in the button when you plug in the
power and the unit will start up the bootloader dhcp/tftp
load process recover process.

I don't recall if the PRO had this in its bootloader or not
(I think it does). Easy way to check. Hook up a serial port,
the boot loader will output some messages when you hold the
reset button in on power up if it has this support.

One note about sgu and sgr images. They are the same format,
sgr images are simply much smaller (thus better suited to
being RAM/network loaded). sgr's don't normally contained
the advanced networking (ipsec, etc) to make them smaller.
On many units (those with more RAM) you can network load
and run the sgu the same as the sgr. Try it, you can probably
get away with directly dhcp/tftp loading your imagez.bin.
(Sometimes and easier and quicker way to develop on these
things.

Oh, and also, to override the simple hardware checks that
you tripped over initially just supply the "-H" option to
netflash. Tells it to ignore the hardware type encoded in
the trailer of the sgu/imagez.bin files.

Definitely.


Just to clarify two points...

 * Is the file that's being loaded via dhcp/tftp being loaded
   into RAM and run from RAM, or does it get burned into flash
   by the bootloader and then booted from flash?


It is only load and run into RAM. The flash is not touched
(that is without you doing something like a "netflash").



 * Is anything used directly from flash (e.g. execute-in-place
   .text sections or read-only romfs)? Or is everything loaded
   into RAM at boot time?


If configured and compiled to run from flash then that is
supported. (Really that is XIP is supported - that may be
running from flash or RAM depending on where the filesystem
is actually located).



Oh, and also, to override the simple hardware checks that
you tripped over initially just supply the "-H" option to
netflash. Tells it to ignore the hardware type encoded in
the trailer of the sgu/imagez.bin files.


Yup, I figured that out from the help output by netflash, but I
didn't want to try it until I had a clear idea of how the
recovery procedure was going to work.  The odds of me ending up
with a bad image in flash at some point are virtually 100%. 


Oh yes, easy to do when developing on these platforms.
The dhcp/tftp boot is very useful feature :-)

Re: [uClinux-dev] ping fails the 2nd time

Hi Matt,

I've encountered an interesting problem with ping (both
busybox and the regular ping) on the Coldfire platforms.
After typing  to end ping the 1st time,
running ping the 2nd time only lets one packet get

So the following sequence:

If you set a limit to the number of ping packets using the
command: ping -c 5  everything works fine - every
time.  (As long as you don't type .)

Obviously the  is leaving the ping/icmp system
in a bad state somewhere.  I'm using the 2.6.26 kernel, but
I also saw the problem on the 2.6.23 kernel.  Do any other
platforms have this problem?  Any ideas where to start
looking?


Very odd.

As another data point I just tried this with a 2.6.26(-uc0)
and it seemed to work fine. That was on a M5208EVB (with a
pretty much stock build of image from the uClinux-dist-20080808).

I get an illegal instruction when using Linux Threads on ARM-nommu with

The illegal instruction happens before main(), and GDB cannot debug it.

If I use that compiler but with options to link to a uClibc from an
older toolchain distribution, it works.  (That's what I'm doing now.)

So it's possible your problem isn't lack of support, but a toolchain
that's broken somehow.  Have you tried using a different one?


To be clear, I'm using the 8-8-8 uClinux, using the latest released 
toolchain on uclinux.org

Maybe it's time for an updated toolchain?

Also, my illegal instruction happens after running a short time. My 
simple example prints in a loop, and starts a thread that prints in a 
loop. I see the child thread loop about a dozen times before the illegal 
instruction.


Have you tried the Code Sourcery ColdFire tool chains?

I seem to recal some time back mails on this list saying that
threads (and c++) worked with those.

Re: [uClinux-dev] Application compilation woes

2008-09-22 Thread Greg Ungerer

Hi Frederic,

Frédéric DUBOIS wrote:

Helllo,

I am upgrading our uClinux distribution from 2.4.22 to 2.4.34, using the latest 
releases (or I think so: uClinux-dist-20080808.tar.gz and 
m68k-uclinux-tools-20061214.sh), for our 5272-based custom board.

The kernel compilation finally went fine after I included the different bits 
related to our board (specific drivers, minor hacks, and userland utilities). 
We also have a quite large C++ application (circa half a meg, binary size) 
which is compiled apart from the uClinux tree, plus a smaller one (22k).

The smaller one compiles and runs fine. It uses the same compilation switches 
as the bigger one.

The bigger one either won't pass the compilation step or won't run:
* if I append the -msep-data flag, the program can be built. However when I run it, I get 
"BINFMT_FLAT: reloc outside program" errors, followed by a SIGSEGV
* if I don't use that switch, the compiler issues a " text=0x85c20 overlaps 
data=0x0" error.

Help has been requested here a few times for both issues:
* adding the -msep-data switch is wrong, for I use m68k and gcc 4.1.1
* The runtime relocation error is often the consequence of libraries built with 
-msep-data.

So I leave the -msep-data switch out, and focus on the compile-time error.

The only external lib I use is uClibc. Someone advised here to edit config.arch 
in our vendors directory, in order to disable XIP and shared libraries. I have 
un-commented these lines:
DISABLE_XIP = 1
DISABLE_MOVE_RODATA = 1  (for this one I tried both to enable and disable)
DISABLE_SHARED_LIB = 1
For each test, I do a "make clean" and rebuild. Same for my program.
The most puzzling thing is that the m68k-uclinux-objdump output shows correct 
figures, AFAICT (see below)

I ran out of clues. Any help appreciated.


For problems with c++ apps I would suggest trying the compilation
using the Code Sourcery ColdFire tools. I have heard reports that
it works better for c++.

Greg

I'm a bit stumped.

I've done everything I can think of, including adding a line to

   strncpy(commandp, " console=/dev/ttyS0,115200 ", size);


Doh!

I added the above line in the wrong place.  It was being
clobbered by a later 


memset(commandp, 0, size);

After moving my strncpy() to the bottom of config_BSP(), I now
get nice kernel startup messages and a sash prompt on ttyS0.
Various userland application stuff is still broken, but I don't
really care about that at this point.

After looking at config_BSP() it's obvious that one can set
CONFIG_BOOTPARAM and CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_STRING to acheive the
same result.  Modifying the kernel settings for those
parameters after choosing the target in "make menuconfig"
works.

What I can't quite figure out is how to make ttyS0 the default.

Setting CONFIG_BOOTPARAM and CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_STRING in
vendors/SnapGear/PRO/config.linux-2.4.x appears to have no
effect on the default values when a new configuration is
created from scratch.


Maybe I am mis-understanding. But those are the first time
defaults - used when you first configure. So changing them
in a tree configured to build for some particular target
won't update the real linux-2.6.x/.config and config/.config
files unless you explicitly choose to do so in "make config",
or have done something like a "make distclean".

Most of the Snapgear boards have a saved command line in
flash at a fixed offset (I think it was offset 0xc020 into
flash on the PRO's). So they don't default to a hard configured
command line. Ofcourse no problem setting one in your own
builds.

Greg

I only build fairly simple userland setups to run on the

I had a very similar bug when getting pthreads working on a uClinux port 
I was doing.


The problem turned out to be incorrect cache flushing on the signal 
trampoline (arch/kernel/signal.c  -- setup_frame()).


The pthread library uses lots of signals to wake up and manage threads etc.

If the signal trampoline is not properly flushed, you can get a cache 
hit rather than executing the trap instruction which is written into the 
user tasks stack frame to return from the signal handler. If this 
happens you end up executing your stack :-(


A simple way to check if this is the problem is to turn the cache off 
completely and see if your pthread apps run ok (albeit slowly).


For the m68knommu arch at least that was fixed earlier this
year in a patch by Wilson Callan. I pushed that to main line
(certainly in 2.6.26, maybe even 2.6.25 - I would have to double
check that).

Greg

Why should the cache need to be flushed ? Is the due to the silly "MMU 
after Cache" hardware glitch of the ARM architecture ?


The original code (and how it is still done in m68k, maybe other
arches too) put code _in_ the stack to deal with the signal
return cleanup. That will hit the data cache, and depending on cache
type some time sooner or later RAM. But the code cache could
be now be stale relative to those addresses.

Ah ok, I ran into this whilst porting uClinux to a new arch (having used 
m68k as a basis, but before the patch), the reason being that I hadn't 
implemented ANY cache flushing macros ;-)


Surprisingly running pthread applications was the first time that this 
caused a problem.


Yeah, I hadn't struck it before either (then I have never used
any apps with threads on m68knommu before either :-)

[uClinux-dev] Re: build philosophy

2008-09-28 Thread Greg Ungerer


Hi Robin,

Robin Getz wrote:

I'm just wondering - what is the expectation/common use...

When I'm building up images, I use "make image" all the time. It's fast, and 
great when I'm just making some minor changes in the romfs/ directory. When 
I'm testing things out, I just edit scripts (like /etc/rc) in the romfs/ 
directory directly, and then just "make image". Works like a charm.


Yep, I often do that to. For quick and dirty testing.


However, a problem occurs if I need to do a 'make' in the dist (to rebuild 
some missing app), since my vendors/*/*/Makefile includes a:


$(ROMFSINST) /etc/rc

(like 150 other Makefiles) and romfs-inst.sh clobbers overtop of my local 
changes in romfs/etc/rc with the one from vendors/*/*/rc


I could just stop making changes in the romfs/ directory (and do everything 
in ./vendors/*/* - which I don't do today - since I don't want to check 
anything into cvs/svn by mistake - and builds would take longer), or I could 
add a new flag to romfs-inst.sh (which would not copy the file if it already 
existed) - which would cause problems for people who expect today's 
behaviour



Is ./romfs suppost to be the output of everything? (and people shouldn't be 
editing things there?)


Well, yes. The "make romfs" step is supposed to construct a "final"
filesystem layout that is exactly what will end up in the target root
filesystem. The "make image" step is supposed to be the step that
rolls everything together into a form to load into the target.
In practice though sometimes romfs modifcation steps are done in
the "image" phase - somethimes it is very difficult to avoid.

If I am manually modifying the romfs/etc/rc for example I generally
copy into and out of /tmp as well - so I can put it back for debug
testing (and not lose it).

Greg

It has nothing to do with m68k or "decently" constructed MMU's.

If you have a harvard style cache (which is by far the most
common arrangement these days). Then if you are copying or
manipulating instructions in memory (eg copying them), they are
passing through the data cache - as data, and then you need to
flush the data cache before you try and execute in that region.

(Obviously a write-thru data cache, or coherency logic between
the instruction and data cache would obviate the need to flush).

Re: [uClinux-dev] M5272C3 No PHY device found. SOLVED.

2008-10-01 Thread Greg Ungerer

Hi John,

This message has two purposes:
1) to check and see if uclinux-dev is up and accepting messages and
2) summarizing the resolution to a problem with the hope that it helps someone 
else.

My apologies if the logjam suddenly clears and my previous messages make it through...my mail client assures me that it has given up on them completely.  

I'm in the process of bringing up the latest uClinux-dist-20080808 and 2.6 kernel on my hardware and was having networking problems.  The hardware is a near duplicate to the M5272C3, so I configure uClinux as such.  A critical piece, however, is the absence of Freescale's dBug bootloader on my hardware.  I'm using a custom bootloader.  

I modified fec.c (temporarily) so that it gets the MAC address from fec.c rather than reading a location in the dBug flash.  

At that point, the board was coming up, but printing a "No phy device found" message.  Skipping to the solution, it turns out that the M5272C3 config of uClinux does not set the GPIO pins for the FEC, apparently relying on the bootloader to do this.  

I'm not sure where general opinion lies regarding how 'standalone' the configured uClinux image should be, and I suppose it could also be argued that I'm not really running on a M5272C3 if, by definition, the M5272C3 includes dBug.  If the intent is to make the image as independent of the bootloader as possible, then I've included a proposed change to the 5272 config.c file below.  


There are probably better CONFIG switches to use, perhaps a combination of 
CONFIG_5272 and whatever gets set when the Coldfire FEC is enabled?  I'm afraid 
I'm still trying to sort out the config routines.

For most other board types this is currently handled in fec.c
itself. To be consistent with those I would put the above code
in CONFIG_M5272 specific fec_request_intrs() function. So I have
gone ahead and put it there.

Ultimately I plan on moving this type of board specific setup
into the separate config.c files. (I have already done this
for the serial port support - just haven't gotten around to
the ethernet ports yet).

Ofcourse if you feel brave you code code this up now, using
the serial port setup code in arch/m68knommu/platform/5272/config.c
as an example :-)

Hi Greg and all,

Here is a patch for thttpd against

This patch fixes CGI calls for uClinux(vfork).  Here is an example to test:

/bin/thttpd -p 80 -d /home/httpd -c **.cgi -u root

There is one issue: I got "Bad file descriptor" error in fdwatch()

I haven't analysed the reason. Maybe someone can fix that.


What is the purpose of the change to thttpd.c?

2.6.22 is a little old now. Can you used something newer?
2.6.26-uc0 is the latest.



1. I wish to run a patched version of 2.6.22 ucLinux on the board
without the MMU. Is it possible to patch ucLinux to run on ARM926EJ
core without MMU?


I am sure it would be.



2. I downloaded linux-2.6.22-uc0-big.patch from uclinux.org and
applied it to plain vanilla kernel 2.6.22. Before applying any changes
specific to our board, I want to just compile the linux patched with
the uclinux patch for any ARM board. I tried setting .config using
existing defconfigs in arch/arm/configs directory but compilation
gives following error. Is there any ARM "config" that I can use so
that I am able to compile just out of the box?


You will find more useful default configs for non-MMU setups
in the uClinux-dist (check http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/dist/).
Specifically I usually build and test the GDB/ARMulator target.
That may be a good reference.

Hi Michael,

Michael Schnell wrote:
it doesn't matter whether you are ELF/flat/fdpic 

Why is flat used for _some_ architectures and not for others ?
What are the advantages of flat over ELF and vice versa ?
(In fact I don't know exactly what "flat" means ;) )


FLAT format was the first native executable file format for non-MMU
linux platforms (ie uCLinux). It is a very simple file layout containing
the text and data sections of an application, a very small header, and
optionally a relocation table.

fdpic is a variation of the ELF format to support PIC code better
for non-MMU platforms. (It can and is also used for VM linux).
It hasn't been around as long as FLAT. Shared library support
is easier with fdpic.

Some non-MMU capable architectures support both. It really just comes
down to someone putting in the effort.

Re: [uClinux-dev] subversion folders in uClinux/dist/patches

2008-10-23 Thread Greg Ungerer

Hi Bernd,

Bernd Büttner wrote:
The uClinux-dist-20080808-xxx patch-files contain files under a 
subversion management folder.
These folders start with ".svn" and all reside under user/clamav and 
subfolders.

I'm working with uClinux in a subversion working-copy.
Fortunately I did a dry-run with the patch-file, otherwise my working 
copy would be

corrupted now.
Will I have to edit the patch-file by myself (no fun with a 46MB file) 
or will there be

a new, corrected one soon?


I have fixed the package and patch building to remove those now.
So the next patch won't have them. It will generate tonight (my time).
But I might not get it onto uclinux.org for a few days.
But within a week or so I should have a new patch with them up
for download.


There are some other files and directories starting with a '.', for 
example ".gitignore".

I cannot say if they are correct or not.


I think it best to remove those too.

Regards
Greg

Hi Matt,

About a month ago I posted a question to the list about
ping being broken the second time you ran it.  The

Earlier this year a message was posted to the busybox

After integrating this patch, I have been able to run
ping without any failures.

Attached is a reformatted patch.

Best regards,

ps. - I noticed this patch hasn't been accepted into the
busybox base, but saving the signal state does seem like
a good idea.


I don't see any reason not to push this into the uClinux-dist
busybox right now. So I have done that.

I have only been issuing patches against each 2.6 kernel release.

Sorry to be obtuse but where on the uClinux home page are these
patches? Do you keep the patches in CVS somewhere. I am interested in
trying out 2.6 to see if i have the same NFS issue that we are trying
to debug in 2.4.


The linux-2.6.x patches are kept at:

i would imagine a significant number of people import uclinux-dist into some 
SCM system.  if things like .cvsignore and .gitignore were left behind, 
that'd keep people from having to recreate it themselves ... besides, it isnt 
like these files are terribly large in the first place and since they're 
plain text, i imagine compress fine enouh ...


Oh yes, size is not really the problem. It is only a problem
if they "iunterfere" with importing into a local SCM system.
I think your right though, the *ignore files are probably safe,
and are probably useful to leave in place.

My original driver used SA_INTERRUPT in the flags for the register_IRQ.
That flag was not defined for the coldfire, and somewhere I read that it

Turns out I really wanted to define IRQF_DISABLED.


How did the original driver compile on 2.6.26?
SA_INTERRUPT is not defined in 2.6.26 sources at all,
it was deprecated and removed before that...

Upshot: my IRQ was being called with interrupts enabled.

Generally now in 2.6 based code you want to put the platform
hardware specifics in the platform code. In this case for the
ColdFire that would be files like:

  arch/m68knommu/platform/520x/config.c

(The 520x is just an example, use the appropriate ColdFire type).

The serial port setups in many of those config.c files should
be a good example of what is needed.

ok, thanks almost everthing is clear for me now, just a question more ...

on my board the device is connected via an external IRQ line , so on 
coldfire cpu I need to acknowledge irq with something like:


void sl811_hcd_irq_ack(struct device *dev)
{
   /* Acknowledge interrupt */
   {
   volatile unsigned long *icrp;
   icrp = (volatile unsigned long *) (MCF_MBAR + MCFSIM_ICR4);
   *icrp = (*icrp & 0x777) | 0x0800; // INT5
   }
}

To obtain this I've modified the sl811-hcd.c and sl811.h adding a 
specific callback: irq_ack ...


struct sl811_platform_data {

+++void(*irq_ack)(struct device *dev);
};

static irqreturn_t sl811h_irq(struct usb_hcd *hcd)
{
   struct sl811*sl811 = hcd_to_sl811(hcd);
   u8irqstat;
   irqreturn_tret = IRQ_NONE;
   unsignedretries = 5;

+++   if (sl811->board) {
+++   if (sl811->board->irq_ack) {
+++   sl811->board->irq_ack(hcd->self.controller);
+++   }
+++   }

   spin_lock(&sl811->lock);

In this way I need to add a similar callback for every external device 
that I need to manage.
My question is is this the right way or exist  a platform dependent way 
to generically ack any irq's ?
Setting an entry/exit platform callback when I made the request_irq(...) 
, for example.


Currently there is no platform dependant way to handle this.
Been on my todo list for a while to clean this up.

Greg

They can, I use them to create running systems.
(I always test the GDB/ARMultaor uClinux target with those arm-linux

The compiler library "libgcc.a" will be an issue.
Since XIP code is must for uClinux, the "libgcc.a" must be produced by the XIP 
compiling flags.


No, that is not the case. uClinux binaries do not necessarily have
to be XIP. For the FLAT format using targets elf2flt can create
binaries that do full relocation at load/run time.

The arm-linux toolchain is really a standard VM linux tool chain.

I use it. (One toolchain for all the arm-linux work I do).



Doesn't other architecture have the same issue?


It all depends on the toolchain in this case. Unfortunately there
is a lot of different binary packages out there (different versions,
different patches applied, etc). Some won't compile older uClinux-dist,
some won't compile newer, it is a trick to find a combination that
works the way you want it to (at least if you don't want to build
the toolchain yourself).

Hi Jamie,

dist/vendors/config/armnommu/config.arch" file?

Usually in your board-specific config.arch file (not the generic armnommu one 
-- the one that you selected in the toplevel Makefile) there are three lines 
like this:

# DISABLE_XIP := 1 # XIP works fine
# DISABLE_MOVE_RODATA := 1 # move-rodata is fine
# DISABLE_SHARED_LIBS := 1 # shared libs are fine

Uncomment all three of these to disable XIP.  You will also need to do a 
complete rebuild (make clean), otherwise you can have mixed object files, which 
cause problems.


So we conclude that the tool on uclinux.org does incorrectly compiles
the generic ARM-nommu architecture support from uclinux.org?


If you go to the uClinux-dist download page and get the latest
dist, and then get the arm-linux toolchain linked there, and
then target and compile the GDB/ARMulator you get a working image.

That is about as generic a ARM-nommu setup you can get...



I've been collecting posts related to toolchains from uclinux-dev for
a while, so that I have a clue next time I need to find a working
toolchain.  There are quite a few toolchain branches, and seemingly no
reliable authority for compiled toolchains that work for every target
variation.  Nor even a place where you can be sure all the patches get
to "eventually".  Back in ye olde days we posted GCC patches to the
GCC developers and they appeared in GCC releases :-)


Yep, no one seems to do this. Shame on them :-)



The toolchain links on uclinux.org are a bit hit-and-miss, depending
on what you're building for.  Between the lines (it could be more
clear) is "Try this toolchain - it works very well for us - but it's
work in progress and you'll need a toolchain from somewhere else (find
it yourself) for some configurations different to ours".


There is a few independant operators working in the toolchain
space for non-mmu. Most don't seem to hang out on this list.



I'm wondering if uclinux's toolchain page could be a bit more
informative about the locations of toolchains that people ought to
try, instead of offering a single one and no hint that it's not for
everyone?


Please send patches for changes. They can be updated just as
easily as the code base.

Regards
Greg

Hi KJ,

Lin KJ wrote:

Thanks for your help again.
It seems that there are some tricks on non-XIP uClinux.
To run the non-XIP uClinux, I omitted the "-fpic -msingle-pic-base" XIP flags,
and specified the "DISABLE_XIP := 1", "DISABLE_MOVE_RODATA := 1" and 
"DISABLE_SHARED_LIBS := 1" in the board-specific config.arch (someone suggested in the mailing 
list).


You should only need to do this. That will not use the "-fpic
-msingle-pic-base" flags after that.



After make clean and make, however, it is failed on the elf2flt stage.
I got the following repeated error messages.
"ERROR: reloc type R_ARM_PC24 unsupported in this context"
"ERROR: reloc type R_ARM_PLT32 unsupported in this context"


Can you give the exact link line and exact error output?



Take a look to the elf2flt source code.
I found the "-a" FLTFLAGS was passed to elf2flt by wrapper 
linker(/usr/local/arm-linux/bin/ld),
and elf2flt did the job by "use_resolved" mode.
For ARM, under that mode, the relocation type "R_ARM_PC24" and "R_ARM_PLT32" 
can NOT be recognized.
By further checking, it is due to the piece code of wrapper linker.

-> if [ "yes" = "yes" ] 
then

 $LINKER $EMUL $SDIRS -T $LDSCRIPT -q -o "$OFILE.gdb" $ARG1 
||exit $?
 RFILE="$OFILE.gdb"
->  FLTFLAGS="$FLTFLAGS -a"
else
 if [ "yes" = "no" ]
 then
  $LINKER $EMUL $SDIRS -T $LDSCRIPT -Ur -d -o "$OFILE.elf" 
$ARG1 ||exit $?
  $LINKER $EMUL $SDIRS -T $LDSCRIPT -o "$OFILE.gdb" $ARG1

 else
  $LINKER $EMUL -r -d -o "$OFILE.elf2flt" $ARG1 
 ||exit $?
  $LINKER $EMUL $SDIRS -T $LDSCRIPT -Ur -o "$OFILE.elf"

  $LINKER $EMUL $SDIRS -T $LDSCRIPT -o "$OFILE.gdb" 
"$OFILE.elf2flt" ||exit $?
  rm -f "$OFILE.elf2flt"
 fi

The wrapper linker always passes the "-a" option to the elf2flt and cause the 
bad resolved relocation messages for R_ARM_PC24 and R_ARM_PLT32.
If i want to run the non-XIP uClinux, should i change the wrapper linker code?
If yes, i should modify it to ["yes" = "no"] mode? or else mode?


I dunno, I wouldn't have expected that you needed to do any
more.

Hi Guo,

In uclinux, both kernel and initramfs are compressed. I am wondering 
whether there is a configuration option to use uncompressed kernel and 
initramfs? Or could someone point to me where to change in order to enable

Generally the final packaging (of kernel and filesystem) in uClinux-dist
is handled by the vendor/board specific Makefile. You find these in

  ~/vendors///Makefile

It is normally done in whatever form is the most common for the
boot loader of that particular board. And this varies alot across
the different boot loaders and architectures.


I prefer uncompressed kernel and initramfs because in our design, 
the move of kernel and initramfs from flash to ram is fast (with hardware 
DMA), but our CPU is slow. And boot time is more important than 
saving flash size. 


Look around those Makefiles under ~/vendors/... for various ways
it is done. Compressed or not is no problem really.

Once i modified the wrapper linker code to bypass the elf2flt "-a" flag 
mentioned last discussion,
the building process was fine.
I wonder if the default wrapper linker of "arm-linux" toolchain can be used for 
non-XIP uClinux.

By the way, have you ever tested the "long long" variable division under 
non-XIP mode?


No, not that I recall...

Regards
Greg





I tried the following code:
#include 
void main(void)
{
long long a,b;

a=100;b=3;
printf("res: %d\n",a/b);
}
It will cause the "Illegal instruction" error while executing.
Listed its symbols by "arm-linux-nm test.gdb" and found that the 
"_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_" was one of the symbols.
It should NOT be there and I think it is the reason that "Illegal instruction" 
happened.
However, when i change the "long long" to "long" variable everything is fine.
Nor more "_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_" is in the symbols list and executed correctly.

I think you can share a toolchain for m68k and m68knommu, at least for the

With the above construct we do the "right thing" also for

But actually none of the headers using the above are
subject for export at the moment so we could use a
CONFIG_ symbol for the same.

So I prefer to just check CONFIG_MMU.

Some of them are, by means of include/asm-generic/Kbuild.asm, e.g.
unistd.h!

I was fooled by make headers_check showing no errros.
But it turns out that headers_check does not recognize
includes made with "".

So I will update the patch to include revevant *_{no,mm}.h files
in Kbuild.


I'm not sure if it's entirely correct, but I think you can use

#ifdef __KERNEL__
# ifdef CONFIG_MMU
#  include "atomic_mm.h
# else
#  include "atomic_no.h
# endif
#else
# ifndef __uClinux__
#  include "atomic_mm.h

Can someone with a shared (m68k/m68knommu) please check if
__uClinux__ is only set in the m68knommu case.

Use:

touch foo.h; gcc -E -dM

to see what is defined by the compiler.
You will also need to specify if this is for m68k or m68knommu.


Any comments from the m68knommu toolchain people?

>

None of my m68k-linux compilers set __uClinux__, as expected.


A m68k-uclinux- gcc will. From a gcc-4.2.4

  m68k-uclinux-gcc -E -dM /tmp/foo.h | grep -i linux

  #define __linux 1
  #define __linux__ 1
  #define __uClinux__ 1
  #define __gnu_linux__ 1
  #define linux 1

(I think that is one of the very few differences of m68k-linux
over m68k-uclinux...)

I would rather just have a m68k-linux myself, and not have a
separate m68k-uclinux toolchain.

couple of times or it doesn't work at all. 

I've tried using the command two ways thru a telnet session to the 
remote device,


netflash –bCknr /dev/rom#  and netflash –bknr /dev/rom# 
.


In some cases the –C displays the verified data to the screen, other 
times it doesn't.


Any ideas as to what could be wrong?  Does the netflash command have any 
known issues?


None specific that I know of. And I use it a _lot_.
Not sure what version/variant of it you are using.

It is has been continuously enhanced and added to for the last
10 odd years...

Is there any chance that the underlying flash segments may be
locked?  If so then you may want to supply the "-u" switch.

Are you sure that the underlying blkmem/mtd driver for your
flash is bug free?

Greg

do you use CFI to detect your SST-Flash? I stumbled on this problem 
half a year ago on 2.6.x, I found out that SST has quite an 
interesting interpretation of the CFI-Standard. Their devices have 
both sectors and eraseblocks, and their CFI-Struct lists both, so the 
sum of all sector sizes appears to be the double of what the devices 
reports as its capacity and the kernel rejects it.


Please find attached my patch for this, it is for 2.6.x but it will 
show the idea. It will partially disable CFI for the device and 
override the number of eraseblock sizes, then the detections works.


  Thanks,

   The 2.4 code I inherited, only uses one of the erase block sizes, so 
detection is not an issue. The problems I am seeing are related to the 
new checks for DQ5 being high after an erase / write cycle. This is not 
supported on the SST part, and I have removed them. Further, the 
39VF640x parts have a slightly different command set.


  From the perspective of pushing the code back upstream, what is the 
best way to handle the differences in parts? Or does anyone care?


The best place to ask would be on the MTD mailing list.
I am sure someone cares :-)

Sorry if this has already been covered, but what should be considered the latest stable snapgear release?  The web page says it's the 3.5.0 release, but the ftp site contains a newer one called "snapgear-20080711".   


The 20080711 package is a code snapshot. It is much newer than 3.5.0.
(And IIRC it contains a newer samba package).

Try it, it should be very close to the uClinux-dist-20080808 release.
Though I suspect that the samba in there doesn't work on non-MMU
systems.

Re: [uClinux-dev] uClinux 2.6.25-uc0 performance problem on MCF 5274/5275

2009-01-11 Thread Greg Ungerer

Hi Alexander,

Alexander Eremeenkov wrote:
I have performance problems with applications on this kernel(uClinux 
2.6.25-uc0).

First of all, I have custom made board with this features:
ColdFire 5274 @ 150 MHz
External Bus Frequency 75 MHz

uClinux 2.6.25 boot up and work perfectly stable, but very slow. For 
this board i have also 2.4.x kernel compiled, and it works more faster ( 
~ 2-20 times faster, if different test application).
After reading maillist, i find, that some people have equals problems, 
and their reason were - disabled cache. But in my case, cache enabled in 
start process normally.

Calibration delay calculate good value:
Calibrating delay loop... 98.71 BogoMIPS (lpj=493568)

Also, if i disabled cache in /include/asm-m68knommu/mcfcache.h, i got 
looks-like normal, with disabled cache, value:

Calibrating delay loop... 5.82 BogoMIPS
So, I have drawn a conclusion, that cache enables good.

Now, about performance. I test it with some applications.
1. Dhrystone test. With it, i have 4065 dhrystones/second, that 
critically small for this CPU. But i curious, that, when a disabled 
cache, the result same.. As though like cache at just flushed or worked 
incorrect.
2. Simple forever cycle with 1 value in memory incremented. This test, 
also show near ~5 real MISP performance.
When i try to watch assess to external memory by CPU, i saw, that, it 
work with external RAM(where this application contain) everytime - but i 
think that, simple application with 5 command + 1 value memory must 
being in cache, and CPU must work with cache only.
3. Some real/work application. They do massive processing/moving data, 
working with peripheral, etc. I also have quite bad performance. Those 
applications runs at 2.4.x kernel at ~4 times faster.


So, conclusion with it.
1) I think, that i can't have problems with hardware - because, 2.4.x 
kernel work fast.
2) I have enabled cache at start process - 98 BogoMIPS good value for my 
CPU, also 2.4 kernel calculate same result.


Now i have question, maybe somebody have same problems at this kernel?
Maybe 2.6.xx  so slow, and ways to speed up it use old kernel or 
modern/faster CPU?Maybe some bugs in poring it to ColdFire family?Etc?


There is no reason that application code performance (independant of
use of kernel system calls) should give noticably different results
on a 2.6 kernel vs a 2.4 kernel.


Maybe it problem with cache at working process? Some drivers, for 
example, can flush cache..anyone have equal problem? About it, i will 
check it with kernel build for 5275EVB, but i think, that  result will 
be same, because, a removed all i can drivers/modules form kernel, that 
almost "empty" kernel starts, and after it i run Dhrystone test, and get 
same result.
Maybe it's a toolchain problem? I use m68k-uclinux-tools-20061214.sh, 
they have some minor problems, maybe reason with they? But, my second 
test with simple application excludes this variant.


If someone had those problems I will be glad for any help.


I recall a problem a little while back where the cache flush code
was changing the cache configuration and not just flushing. (I think
it was the 5282 cache support code that was broken). In this scenario
the initial cache setup was good (so everything was fast), and after
the first cache flush the setup was wrong. Now that would make something
like the bogomips calculation look good, but later performance bad

Looking at the 2 places this is done:

  linux-2.6.x/include/asm-m68knommu/mcfcache.h
  linux-2.6.x/include/asm-m68knommu/cacheflush.h

I suspect this may have broken the cache support for the 527x
series (so the 5270/5271 and 5274/5275).

To verify if this is what you are seeing, can you change the cache
flush code for CONFIG_M527x in cacheflush.h from:

"movel  #0x81000200, %%d0\n\t"

to

"movel  #0x81400100, %%d0\n\t"

This is just to prove this is the problem. A real fix would
need the 528x and 527x cache flushing code separated out.

Greg

dhrystones/second, that
   critically small for this CPU. But i curious, that, when a
   disabled cache, the result same.. As though like cache at
just
   flushed or worked incorrect.
   2. Simple forever cycle with 1 value in memory
incremented. This
   test, also show near ~5 real MISP performance.
   When i try to watch assess to external memory by CPU, i saw,
   that, it work with external RAM(where this application
contain)
   everytime - but i think that, simple application with 5
command
   + 1 value memory must being in cache, and CPU must work with
   cache only.
   3. Some real/work application. They do massive
processing/moving
   data, working with peripheral, etc. I also have quite bad
   performance. Those applications runs at 2.4.x kernel at
~4 times
   faster.

   So, conclusion with it.
   1) I think, that i can't have problems with hardware -
because,
   2.4.x kernel work fast.
   2) I have enabled cache at start process - 98 BogoMIPS good
   value for my CPU, also 2.4 kernel calculate same result.

   Now i have question, maybe somebody have same problems at
this
   kernel?
   Maybe 2.6.xx  so slow, and ways to speed up it use old
kernel or
   modern/faster CPU?Maybe some bugs in poring it to ColdFire
   family?Etc?


   There is no reason that application code performance
(independant of
   use of kernel system calls) should give noticably different
results
   on a 2.6 kernel vs a 2.4 kernel.



   Maybe it problem with cache at w

Hi Dave,

Dave Rensberger wrote:

The 20080711 package is a code snapshot. It is much newer than 3.5.0.
(And IIRC it contains a newer samba package).

Try it, it should be very close to the uClinux-dist-20080808 release.
Though I suspect that the samba in there doesn't work on non-MMU
systems.


Greg, 

Thanks for your reply.  To be clear, I'm not actually trying to run samba on a non-MMU system (right now it's an x86 system).   The reason I'm using Snapgear, is because I'd like my system to remain small, and I'd like to have the option to do a relatively painless port to ARM at some point.  


Ok.


Do you have any pointers to Samba patches that will allow it to work on a uClibc based system with an MMU?   Surely there must be people out there doing this for small/cheap NAS boxes.  


The samba soure in the uClinux-dist-20080808 is patched to work
(with uClibc) and runs on MMU systems.

(The snapgear package releases are the same as the uClinux-dist
packages).



Alternately, are there any plans to re-introduce glibc into snapgear?  I could 
deal with the increase in image footprint that would come with snapgear+glibc, 
but I'm not really ready to accept the footprint increase that would come with 
using some of the larger glibc based Linux distros (DENX, Debian, etc.).


Well, actually, there is...

Upcoming patch sets for the uClinux-dist will have support for
building glibc again (via a download when wanted machanism -
instead of glibc source in the package).

I don't know exactly when the next patch for that will do up.
But I am hoping for sometime in the next couple of weeks.

Regards
Gerg

For now I've only encountered it in the latest uClinux
toolchain released from CodeSourcery.


If it is general it belongs to:
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h


It might belong in the generic vmlinux.lds.h, but I'm reluctant
to make this change global until I'm sure it doesn't break
other system.


This is already in the generic vmlinux.lds.h (came in with
commit 6948385cbd83201fb933125c1a578b29b456605d back in July).
Its in the TEXT_TEXT macro.

So this local change for m68knommu should not be required for
newer kernels.

There are some other files and directories starting with a '.', for

I cannot say if they are correct or not.


I think it best to remove those too.

I'm working with AT91FR40162 (AT91R40008 core), uClinux-dist-20080808,
kernel 2.4 and toolchain arm-linux-20061213.

After downloading uClinux from the web, configuring and downloading to SD
card, the kernel doesn't work (It freezes after bootloader).

I changed the file: "linux-2.4.x/arch/armnommu/Makefile"

ifeq ($(CONFIG_ARCH_ATMEL),y)
TEXTADDR= 0x02208000
MACHINE = atmel
endif


The setting as it is is probably for a different board type,
with a different boot loader that loads to a different default
start address.

We would need a config option to separate out the board
types, and use different link addresses to support both.

Regards
Greg





So, now the system.map generated match with my configuration.

In addition, the original "linux-2.4.x/arch/armnommu/mm/proc-arm6,7.S" shows:

__at91_proc_info:
.long   0x1440
   ...

I changed it to:

__at91_proc_info:
.long   0x4440
   ...

And the kernel starts OK!

In AT91R40008's datasheet I can see chip ID: 0x44000840

The questions:
Is it necessary to edit the files Makefile(above) and proc-arm6,7.S to
change those values?
Are there other ways to do this?
It's a bug?

Marcelo

After downloading uClinux from the web, configuring and downloading to SD
card, the kernel doesn't work (It freezes after bootloader).

I changed the file: "linux-2.4.x/arch/armnommu/Makefile"

ifeq ($(CONFIG_ARCH_ATMEL),y)
TEXTADDR= 0x02208000
MACHINE = atmel
endif

So, now the system.map generated match with my configuration.

In addition, the original "linux-2.4.x/arch/armnommu/mm/proc-arm6,7.S" shows:

__at91_proc_info:
.long   0x1440
   ...

I changed it to:

__at91_proc_info:
.long   0x4440
   ...

And the kernel starts OK!

In AT91R40008's datasheet I can see chip ID: 0x44000840


Hi,

it would probably be better to change the following mask value so that
both 14.. and 44.. is accepted:

__at91_proc_info:
.long   0x1440
.long   0xbff000e0


Yes, changing the mask is the better fix. I have commited that
change to the older 2.4.x code.

Regards
Greg

Re: [uClinux-dev] what is the difference setup_irq() and request_irq()

Can anyone enlighten me why we cannot use the request_irq() here 
anymore? Does this means all other interrupts registering routine need 
use the setup_irq() in the Coldfire uClinux kernel?


IIRC it is because timers are setup very early, before the
request_irq() infrastructure has been initialized. (Before the switch
to generic irqs m68knommu code could still call it safely).

General drivers should always use request_irq().

Re: [uClinux-dev] How to alloc cache inhibited buffer on a Coldfire 547X?

2009-01-13 Thread Greg Ungerer

Hi Dave,

Dave Meador wrote:

I am porting a FEC driver from linux 2.6.10 to uclinux which requires
the usage of DMA transfers to function.

In the FEC driver, I need to allocate a DMA buffer using a call like
"kmalloc(sz, GFP_DMA)".  In the stock uclinux kernel, this call fails
because apparently the ZONE_DMA is not defined.

In order for me to get this FEC driver working, what I need to do (I
think) is the following:
1)  define a ZONE_DMA area of 1MB
2) mark the ZONE_DMA region as cache-inhibited

I cannot figure out how to mod the uclinux kernel to make step #1 work
as all my calls to "kmalloc(sz,GFP_DMA)" return NULL.  Can someone give
me ideas on how to setup a ZONE_DMA for a coldfire arch?  Is there an
alternate way to alloc a buffer which is cache inhibited?


Have you looked at linux-2.6.x/Documentation/DMA-API.txt?
You probably should be using those functions I suspect...

Any help would be appreciated,

The code to do this was in .../532x/config.c, but you removed

 >
 > Or did I miss something here?

Maybe I'm the one missing something, but the way I saw this was
the generic settings for mcf_timervector and mcf_profilevector
in timers.c would override any values set in board specific
config.c file.


The values set in timers.c are the most common (or at least where
in the past :-), and so I used them as the defaults. For platforms
that didn't use these you set them to the correct values in the
platform/config.c.

Arguably it would be cleaner to have no default, and the per platform
config must always set the appropriate values to use.



So probably what should happen is these lines should be removed
from timer.c:

unsigned intmcf_timervector = 29;
unsigned intmcf_profilevector = 31;

and then external variables should be set for each platform in
it's board config.c file.


I wouldn't remove the base variable definition from timers.c,
I think it logically belongs there. I would be happy if there
was no "catch-all" default values.

Currently config.c for platforms that need something not default
do set these.



If that's correct, would you like me to make those changes for all
the Coldfire platforms?


I think forcing every config.c to set the correct values is
probably a good thing. I would take that change.

Regards
Greg

Looks like the fec.c driver doesn't support any of the mii-tool
ioctls (the SIOCGMII family) of the ethtool ops. If you look at
the other net drivers in drivers/net/*.c you will find plenty
of examples of what is needed.

For the mii-tool case look at the 2.4.x fec.c driver from
the linux-2.4.x-uc trees. It has SIOCG ioctl support. May not
be too difficult to port that across.

I'm working with uClinux in a subversion working-copy.
Fortunately I did a dry-run with the patch-file, otherwise my 
working copy would be

corrupted now.
Will I have to edit the patch-file by myself (no fun with a 46MB 
file) or will there be

a new, corrected one soon?


I have fixed the package and patch building to remove those now.
So the next patch won't have them. It will generate tonight (my time).
But I might not get it onto uclinux.org for a few days.
But within a week or so I should have a new patch with them up
for download.


There are some other files and directories starting with a '.', for 
example ".gitignore".

I cannot say if they are correct or not.


I think it best to remove those too.

Subject: [PATCH] m68k,m68knommu: merge header files

Merge header files for m68k and m68knommu to the single location:

arch/m68k/include/asm

The majority of this patch was the result of the
script that is included in the changelog below.

The script was originally written by Arnd Bergman and
exten by me to cover a few more files.

When the header files differed the script uses the following:

The original m68k file is named _mm.h  [mm for memory manager]
The m68knommu file is named _no.h [no for no memory manager]

The files uses the following include guard:

This include gaurd works as the m68knommu toolchain set
the __uClinux__ symbol - so this should work in userspace too.

Merging the header files for m68k and m68knommu exposes the
(unexpected?) ABI differences thus it is easier to actually
identify these and thus to fix them.

The commit has been build tested with both a m68k and
a m68knommu toolchain - with success.

The commit has also been tested with "make headers_check"
and this patch fixes make headers_check for m68knommu.

The script used:

So I took this, applied, and have been running some tests
on m68knommu.

I had to make 2 small changes to make it work on 2.6.29-rc1.
I had to add swab.h into the list of FILES, and move the seting
of hdr-arch for m68knommu in the top level Makefile to after the
global hdr-arch setting (so all of about 3 lines later).

Otherwise it builds and runs fine for m68knommu in all
cases I have tested so far.


Thanks!


I have this applied as the only change at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gerg/m68knommu.git
m68k-merge-includes


Huh, is this git repository really ca. 200 MiB?


Hmm, seems kinda large. Maybe I didn't pack it properly?

More review, testing, comments welcome...
Where to from here?


I'll pull from it and give it some m68k test builds.
After that, you can move it to for-next. If everything's well, it can go to
Linus.


Sounds like a plan.



Or should I amend and add my SoB and put it in m68k for-next?


I am happy to go either way.

For my part I like this to reach mainline ASAP. So whatever suits the
two of you is fine with me.


I pulled from Greg's tree, and built atari_defconfig, multi_defconfig,
sun3_defconfig. Atari_defconfig runs fine under ARAnyM.

As I'll be on a business trip to Japan next week, I probably won't be able to
do a proper follow-up. So Greg, can you put it on your for-next branch and
send it to Linus if everything goes well?

Hi Matt,

Matt Waddel wrote:

The attached patch adds support for the enhanced DMA (eDMA) driver
found in many Coldfire platforms.  This patch only provides support
for the M5329 platform.  The driver also contains a simple test
program that can be used to validate the eDMA driver.  If everything
is working correctly you should see results like these when you
insmod the test code:


Do you want me to push this into the -uc releases only,
or consider for merging into mainline?

To goto mainline it will need a few cleanups :-)
Run scripts/checkpatch.pl on it, there is a few things
it complains about.

One thing that I think needs looking at is the use of:


#define MCF_EDMA_CR  *(volatile unsigned long *)(0xFC044000)


I think it would be better to just make these definitions the
address only. Then use the appropriate readl() and writel()
macros with these when used in the code.

Re: [uClinux-dev] Problem with the ColdFire mcf5407 2.6.25 kernel

2009-01-19 Thread Greg Ungerer

Hi Oleksii,

Oleksii wrote:

I have got the problem running the newest uClinux (20080808, 2.6.25 kernel).

Kernel BUG happens at the kmem_cache_create function (mm/slab.c) with
default kernel config. The first sanity checks of this function fails,
because in_interrupt () returns true. Actually preempt_count () at
that place is equal to 0x1000, which means that hardirq count is 1.

It is not the first call of kmem_cahce_create (), and usually happens
in few calls after call of this function by the kmem_cache_init ().
Changing of the Kbuild config (Processor Type and Features --->
Preemption Model) from "No Forced Preemption" to the "Preemptible
Kernel" lets the BUG happen a bit later in the call of the
kmem_cache_create ().
Problem seems to happen after the kmalloc () call in the
setup_cpu_cache () function which is called from kmem_cache_create().

In old version of uClinux (2.6.19) no problem happens. On ColdFire
5329 (which is also m68knommu arch) everything works ok on the 2.6.25.

The same problem was previously posted at this mailing list:
http://mailman.uclinux.org/pipermail/uclinux-dev/2008-October/047240.html,
but I have not found any replies with solutions.

Can somebody help with some ideas what was seriously changed from 19th
kernel to 25th kernel?


The first thought to comes to mind is that maybe CPU caching is
buggy here. Can you run without the CPU cache enabled at all?
(You will need to disable it in include/asm-m68knommu/mcfcache.h
and include/asm-m68knommu/cacheflush.h.

There has been a few small changes for some of the ColdFire CPU's
in this area.

Greg

Re: [uClinux-dev] [PATCH] Using shadow passwords in Tinylogin with ftpd

2009-01-19 Thread Greg Ungerer

Hi Peter,

I have taken a long time to get around to looking at this :-(

Peter Turczak wrote:
while experimenting with the ftpd and telnetd shipped with 
uclinux-dist-2008... i found a strange situation appears when enabling 
tinylogin with shadow support. After setting up a new user using adduser 
and setting its password, telnetd would allow me to log in using this 
new user, whereas ftpd would always return "530 Login incorrect.".
After fiddeling a litte around it seems that there was a quirk in the 
user/ftp/config.h, it would enable the header for shadow passwords 
(#define HAVE_SHADOW_H) but would disable getspnam (#undef 
HAVE_GETSPNAM) which is needed in auth.c to use shadow passwords.


Please find attached a patch for this problem, hope it is correct. 
Feedback is welcome.


I suspect you are right, and looking at how shadow.h processing
is handled in here, this is the appropriate way to fix it.

Applied to uClinux-dist.

[uClinux-dev] [git pull] m68k and m68knommu merge of includes

2009-01-20 Thread Greg Ungerer

Hi Linus,

Please consider pulling this merge of the m68k and m68knommu include files.
It comepletely moves include/asm-m68k to arch/m68k/include as part of the
process, and ultimately results in both m68k and m68knommu arch code using
the same set of includes. More cleanup can follow, but this is the
necessary first step.

I think you need to check your arch/m68k/include/asm/swab.h as I get an
empty file when I pull this.  It looks like it needs a conditional 
include of swab_mm/swab_no similar to the other files.


Yes, something went wrong there...



Also, because of the byteorder changes, it looks like you don't need

Where does the romfs sit?
If on a disk you would logically use  IDE or SCSI block device.
It it sits on raw flash then MTD is the logical choice.
If its in RAM then either ramdisk or MTD would make sense.

Re: [uClinux-dev] newest possible kernel version for trunk of uClinux-dist?

2009-01-21 Thread Greg Ungerer

Hi Rainer,

Rainer Keller wrote:

My company is porting uClinux to our processor architecture that is used
in several routers and some digital picture frames on the market. We
started with the 20080808 distribution (2.6.25-uc0 kernel) and have a
kernel up and are adding drivers and user mode code currently.

Our architecture has nommu but SMP support, gpios and other things that
we see are in great flux in the mainline kernel. 


The latest patch in http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/dist/patches/ is
uClinux-dist-20080808-20090112.patch.gz, same as on
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=240583&package_id=
292947 both contain a patched 2.6.26 kernel now, also under
http://www.uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/uClinux-2.6.x/ I find
linux-2.6.26-uc0.patch.gz as the latest patch.

In one of the recent postings here I saw it mentioned that Linus has a
-uc0 branch in addition to mainline.


No, thats not the case. Linus has no separate branches for uClinux.

I have patches that I version "-uc0", "-uc1", etc. But I generate
those, not Linus. They are for testing out upcoming changes that
I plan to send to Linus.



And from another email I concluded
that __uClinux__ is a conditional that surround nommu-isms in the kernel
source but "grep -r __uClinux__ *" gives me nothing in the kernel from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git.


No, not exactly either. Almost all of the current code in the kernel
for non-mmu is conditional on CONFIG_MMU. I would encourage you to
base anything non-MMU specific (not architecture specific) on this.

The define __uClinux__ is a gcc definition used by compilers generated
for uclinux.



One of my colleagues says that uClinux is fully integrated in the
mainline kernel now but seeing the patches for 2.6.26 and not finding
anything with my grep confused me a bit and "just trying" with 2.6.28 or
newer is several days of work.


non-MMU support is fully integrated into the kernel (has been in all
2.6 series kernels).



Could someone please tell me which kernel is the newest that I can use
to put our architecture code in and run the uClinux userland code and
libs underneath?


I would use 2.6.28, if you are serious about pushing for main line
inclusion. I will release a 2.6.28-uc0 in a couple of weeks time.
But there is no reason to wait for that.



I only checked the FAQs on uClinux and uCdot and I am reading
uClinux-dev since about a month. If there is a better source of
information I would be happy with any kind of: read this mailing archive
/ website kind of answer.


They are about the best really...

Greg

Hi thanks for your answer.
In my case, when the linux image is loaded, the _startup procedure 
copies the romfs image from the

rom to the ram (at _ebss). So I can use RAMdisk or MTD.
I have already tried with MTD, I create a partition but I have a 
probleme with the function

mtd_blktrans_thread() which turns in endless loop.
So I going to try only with ramdisk. It seems to be the easiest way to 
mount romfs.
I have seen that we can specifie a command line initrd option 
'initrd=0xaddr,sizeK'.

Does 'addr' must be equal to _ebss?


Yes, the actual address of _ebss. (This is the reason that uclinux.c
map driver exits, to automate the _ebss starting address).

If not what should I specify for this command line?

Thanks very much in advance!

That was certainly the case many years ago...


(Which IMHO in many cases seems silly, as AFAIK, you can happily use 
vfork() if there is
an MMU, too, in nearly (?) all cases when you can _simply_ (without any 
other code change) replace fork() with vfork() anyway. )


Yes, pretty much true...


Moreover the name of the "EMBED" define seems quite outdated, as today, 
many embedded devices do provide an MMU.


Yes, definitely true. I tend not to use it any more.


I don't know if there is some change on that issue planned (e.g. using 
CONFIG_MMU, in User Land as well).


Currently I use __uClinux__ in userland for this. (Which isn't perfect
either, if you use a standard gnu linux configured gcc for compiling
uCLinux systems you need to manually define it too).

A new complete patch is best. To push to mainline it is
easiest if I have the complete patch, then I can just git
commit it to the public m68knommu git tree on kernel.org.

Thanks

To goto mainline it will need a few cleanups :-)
Run scripts/checkpatch.pl on it, there is a few things
it complains about.

One thing that I think needs looking at is the use of:


#define MCF_EDMA_CR  *(volatile unsigned long *)(0xFC044000)


I think it would be better to just make these definitions the
address only. Then use the appropriate readl() and writel()
macros with these when used in the code.

Hi Loody,

loody wrote:

I try 2 another cross-toolchains today.

1. buildroot,
2. arm-uclinux, download from Codesourcery.

The transformation  of elf to FLAT of them is quite different.
I get help from buildroot maintainer, so I can build buildroot with
elf2flt successfully.

a.
When I use "-Wl,-elf2flt,-s32768" to compile my hellow.c.
it will say:
arm-linux-uclibcgnueabi/bin/ld.real: unrecognized option '-s32768'
arm-linux-uclibcgnueabi/bin/ld.real: use the --help option for usage information
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
(it seems the ld doesn't recognize the option,-s32768).

b.
When I use "-Wl,-elf2flt" to compile my hellow.c.
it will say:
arm-linux-uclibcgnueabi/bin/ld.real: error: no memory region specified
for loadable section `.plt'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

c.
so I try to use arm-linux-uclibcgnueabi-elf2flt to meet my requirement.
And it say:
TEXT -> vma=0x0 len=0x24
DATA -> vma=0x0 len=0xc
ERROR: text=0x24 overlaps data=0x0 ?

it seems i need to modify some file to fix b and c. But I cannot find
any config about elf2flt.

2 can successfully get flt as I need even I don't pass
"-Wl,-elf2flt,-s32768" to it.
( I assigned the -isystem as buildroot lib, since I cannot find
stdio.h in Codesourcery toolchain)

So I use arm-linux to compile uxlinux kernel image and use 2,
Codesourcery toolchain, to compile my hello.c, put hello_flt to the
root file system and let kernel execute it.

And it seems ALMOST work.

ALMOST means I can see the kernel message says
"tart_thread(regs=0x83c15ef8, entry=0x83d60044,
start_stack=0x83d6ffb0)"
but I cannot see the "hello" that I am looking for.

My questions are:
1. I guess the reason why I cannot see the "hello" from console is due
to some lib I have to put at root file system/lib. But I don't know is
there any tool like readelf can tell me what lib flt needs? I only can
do is use "file". But it only can tell me the format not the detail
information. If someone knows any tool for flt, please let me know.

BTW, is my hello.c too complicate that it fail to print message on console?
#include 
int main()
{
printf("Hello World");
return 0;
}

2. Does anyone use buildroot and successfully get flt file? If so,
please tell me how to solve a,b,c above?

3. is there any other pre-compiled toolchains I can try? I google the
"arm-elf download", but I cannot get any good result.

appreciate your help,


You are really making things difficult for yourself to start out.

My suggestion, get the uClinux-dist, use the arm-linux compiler
linked from uclinux.org. I specifically use the GDB/ARMulator
target. Build it "as is" and run it on the Skyeye emulator.
Use that as a starting point.

Hi:
I feel it is too difficult either :-(


It doesn't have to be :-)


At beginning, I use the combination you suggest, but uclinux makes me
cry when I find that the only executable file format that can run on
uclinux is FLAT.


No need to cry :-)

Why is only supporting FLAT a problem for you?
(It is not entirely true to say uClinux only supports FLAT,
some uClinux architectures support fdelf-pic).



I don't know how to make a flat with the arm-linux compiler linked
from uclinux.org. You can see it in the previous letter.


That is why I said to get the uClinux-dist.
It builds applications with that compiler against its
own uClibc. They work. I specifically test it for the
GDB/ARMulator target before uClinux-dist releases.

(GDB/ARMulator target emulates an ATMEL AT91x40 - an
ARM7tdmi part).



So, I ask for another cross-toolchain's help.


I am sure others could pop up and give instructions on
compilers and other tools they use. But I use the uClinux-dist
with arm-linux tool (from uclinux.org link) to build working
arm uclinux systems.

Greg

Hi Gregg,

Gregg Levine wrote:

For the record when was the Nintendo GBA officially supported by this

I dunno about for the record, but I first coded up some basic
support in early 2003. That work has been in uClinux-dist code
packages from then.

I only ever worked on the GBA emulators, not on real hardware.
All the work I did was linux-2.0.x. I recall quite a few others
picked it up and did more with it. Though I don't think much of
that work made its way back in the linux-2.0.x sources in uClinux.org
or in the uClinux-dist.



The steps to create a something also tell me that I am quite
literally breaking new ground here.

Does this mean that no one else has created something for the GBA? For
example it suggested that I select a similar port and work from there.

Good idea but there really isn't anything similar except yet another GBA.


I don't exactly follow what you are saying here?

Look in the any recent uClinux-dist. There is a Nintendo/GBA target.
And the kernel code to support all its basic devices is in the
linux-2.0.x sources in the uClinux-dist.

Thanks for your help :)
the situation is still the same when I follow the instructions you suggest.

I will try another combinations as well.

BTW, is there any tool like readelf, which can tell me what lib the flat used?


Use readelf. FLAT format files are generated by a trivial
conversion from ELF. (That is they are compiled as ELF, and
a final conversion step is done to convert them to FLAT).

There is another tool that is handy, fltdr (or in your case
it would be arm-linux-flthdr).



Is there any document which introduce the format of Flat?


No. Use the source code, in the kernel fs/binfmt_flat.c.
FLAT format is very simple (especially so if not using
shared libraries).
