Based on this understanding, I patched the Xbox boot loader (Cromwell) so it could properly load FreeBSD ELF images. Once that was done, I worked my way up from the first piece of code executed (that is in i386/i386/locore.s). I crafted some assembly code which could control the Xbox LED's, and I used this to determine where the Xbox would crash... Once I got the initial machine-dependant stuff out of the way, I created a console driver so I could see what was going on (which I later on totally rewrote); and worked my way up from here...

Deadlock in state 'sysctl lock'
Hi people,
At work, one of our SpamAssassin/ClamAV filtering machines just entered
a deadlock state:
FreeBSD/i386 (xxx.qsp.nl) (cuad0)
login: root
load: 0.00 cmd: login 683 [sysctl lock] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 148k
load: 0.00 cmd: login 683 [sysctl lock] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 148k
load: 0.00 cmd: login 683 [sysctl lock] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 148k
load: 0.00 cmd: login 683 [sysctl lock] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 148k
load: 0.00 cmd: login 683 [sysctl lock] 0.00u 0.00s 0% 148k
After inspection, I believe the following code in
kern/kern_sysctl.c:userland_sysctl() is the culprit:
SYSCTL_LOCK();
do {
req.oldidx = 0;
req.newidx = 0;
error = sysctl_root(0, name, namelen, req);
} while (error == EAGAIN);
if (req.lock == REQ_WIRED req.validlen 0)
vsunlock(req.oldptr, req.validlen);
SYSCTL_UNLOCK();
Clearly, should sysctl_root() always return EAGAIN, this will cause a
serious deadlock condition. It appears this is possible.
The only plausible reference to sysctl's returning EGAIN seems to be in
kern/kern_proc.c:sysctl_out_proc(). However, this code returns ESRCH
if the process couldn't have been found in the fast place, and since the
complete handler function will be called by sysctl_root() every
iteration, and thus will do a pfind() and return ESRCH if it failed and
not EAGAIN as it will later on in the code path.
The machine is a 6.0-STABLE SMP machine of 30-Mar-2006. No debugging
options are in the kernel as the machine has quite some load. The only
console messages were a lot of 'calcru' messages.
Any help is very much appreciated. For now, I'd like to propose a change
to kern/kern_sysctl.c:userland_sysctl(), to ensure this will never keep
looping on EAGAIN states (preferably, it should trigger a panic or at
least a KASSERT should such a condition occour). I know this is a
bandaid for a problem we don't really quite understand yet, but this may
ease debugging later on (especially as it will help us understand where
exactly it is going bad)
Any comments? It looks to me this deadlock is quite rare (in fact, I've
never seen it before), but I believe it is serious enough to be
addressed, even with such a bandaid until the real solution is presented
by someone who knows the sysctl internals better than I do.
Thanks,

panic(): vinvalbuf: dirty bufs: perhaps a ffs_syncvnode bug?
Hi people, At work, some storage is put on a SUN StorEdge 3510 FibreChannel array; the disks are divided into two volumes, which are mounted using isp(4) controllers. Two seperate machines each mount a single volume (this is, box1 mounts the first volume (/dev/da1), and box2 mounts the second volume (/dev/da2)). Both volumes are formatted using UFS2. Over the night, we reset the shelf in order to activate its new management IP address, causing the /dev/da[12] devices to be temporarily unavailable. This resulted in the following panic on the rather busy mailstorage server (the other server has minor load and was fine): --- (da0:isp0:0:1:0): lost device (da0:isp0:0:1:0): removing device entry (da1:isp0:0:2:0): lost device g_vfs_done():da1s1[WRITE(offset=292316823552, length=16384)]error = 6 g_vfs_done():da1s1[WRITE(offset=240287318016, length=16384)]error = 6 g_vfs_done():da1s1[READ(offset=12175362048, length=2048)]error = 6 g_vfs_done():da1s1[WRITE(offset=240287318016, length=16384)]error = 6 g_vfs_done():da1s1[READ(offset=18370689024, length=2048)]error = 6 g_vfs_done():da1s1[READ(offset=25829486592, length=512)]error = 6 vnode_pager_getpages: I/O read error vm_fault: pager read error, pid 78035 (lmtpd) g_vfs_done():da1s1[WRITE(offset=240287318016, length=1638(da1:isp0:0:2:0): Invalidating pack 4)]error = 6 g_vfs_done():da1s1[READ(offset=13768671232, length=6144)]error = 6 g_vfs_done():da1s1[READ(offset=102126977024, length=16384)]error = 6 g_vfs_done():da1s1[READ(offset=13768671232, length=6144)]error = 6 g_vfs_dpone():da1s1[READ(offset=102319669248, length=16384)]error = 6a nic: vinvalbuf: dirty bufs cpuid = 2 Uptime: 54d15h48m38s kernel trap 12 with interrupts disabled Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode cpuid = 0; apic id = 00 fault virtual address = 0x56 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x20:0xc0681303 stack pointer = 0x28:0xe8d973f0 frame pointer = 0x28:0xe8d973f8 code segment= base 0x0, limit 0xf, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags= resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 78066 (lmtpd) trap number = 12 --- When looking at the source code of vinvalbuf(), which calls bufobj_invalbuf(), it seems that this panic is raised after a bufobj still contains dirty data after waiting for it to complete without error.

[PATCH] Intel PRO/100 VE extra PCI ID
Hi people, Recently, I installed FreeBSD on a Tyan GS14 barebone, which houses an bge(4) and a fxp(4). However, FreeBSD does not recognize the on-board fxp(4) NIC by default.

FreeBSD/xbox live/installcd's available
Hello everyone, In order to aid people installing FreeBSD on their xbox, I have created combined install/livecds to aid those willing to give FreeBSD/xbox a try. The images can be used to boot a full multi-user FreeBSD environment, but you can also boot directly into sysinstall to install FreeBSD on your Xbox. As I've recently merged Xbox support back to -STABLE, an ISO for 6-STABLE is also provided. The images are hosted by MCGV Stack (http://www.stack.nl), and can be retrieved from ftp://ftp.stack.nl/pub/freebsd-xbox/. A list of the files and checksums is: xbox-6stable-20060821.iso.bz2 - install/livecd for FreeBSD 6-STABLE MD5= 9afbab92bbb43a797753a941737ef0bb SHA1 = 26908c6301484c133f23875a8136c2dbeb336e88 SHA256 = d67e51c2a37e14193a5cbfb49903899f60784e39f91888f8e0a48c85ee3eee46 xbox-7current-20060517.iso.bz2 - install/livecd for FreeBSD 7-CURRENT MD5 = 82108c6112f8b39fb82e71fdc727704a SHA1 = 83e40e292ac8ace395fcf199f1bb16b0a34531c5 SHA256 = 2176904283707273e7d62e31c516bc81c9a2021556bb84adbe23071ba9b8dd83 Some important points of attention: (1) The loader used is Cromwell; the Cromwell version on the images has special patches which do not appear in any official releases build [1]. Therefore, if you already use Cromwell on your Xbox, please chain-load the Cromwell on the images beforing attempting to boot FreeBSD. (2) 'patched' dashboard (the Xbox 'operating system') versions can directly boot the /DEFAULT.XBE file on the CDROM. The official Dashboard will fail to boot this, however, as the DEFAULT.XBE file is not signed with any Microsoft-approved key. Booting this file will directly start the FreeBSD-enabled Cromwell. (3) There is no loader support. Any tunables must be set using kernel options (such as the root device to use) (4) The xbox is very picky on the media used. If you get random panics or hangs during installation, try another brand of media. (5) If you keep experiencing DMA errors or timeouts, please use a 80 pin UDMA IDE cable. As there is no loader support, there is no way to force ata(4) to use only UDMA2 modes. (6) You currently need an USB keyboard; I'm planning to add dhclient(8) and sshd(8) automatic startup to the liveCD later. Anyway, feel free to give this a try and report any problems back to me. I intend to clean up the script used to build the ISO images in a short while. [1] Cromwell from xbox-linux.org CVS contains all patches required to be able to boot the recent FreeBSD kernels. However, it does not support direct booting from UFS partitions. Regards, -- Rink P.W.

Re: long timeout on boot
Hi, Both on my own machine, and on systems in our test group's lab, we notice these long (like 2min maybe?) delays near the end of boot. It seems to be ATA/SATA related. It has just announced the one disk it discovered, then shows the CPUs launched, and then it just sits printing nothing for, like I said, maybe a minute or two. Finally it will complete boot and all seems to be fine. I am guessing its in a detection loop maybe? Any ideas?? Oh, this is 6.1 RELEASE on i386, although I'm pretty sure x86_64 will show the same behavior. I also have this problem, it only showed up on 6-STABLE and 6.1-RELEASE (not 6.0-RELEASE AFAICT). Strangely enough, it does not happen on all my machines, my Dual Opteron has no problems but both my Dual P3 and Dual Athlon MP suffer from this. Another Dual MP I have access to shows this long timeout as well. I have tried to track this down; the problem seems to be that once initialization is completed, quite a few runs are needed to find the process to be scheduled; the offending function seems to be scheduler() in vm/vm_glue.c.

Re: calling fpa and fea users
Hi Brooks, - Using these drivers to connect to a real, production FDDI network - Are running FreeBSD 5.3+ or will be in the near future Well, I use fpa(4) as a crosslink between my two boxes. Not really production-wise, but I do enjoy the fact that they can be dual-attached. Which is why I would't enjoy them being removed. Every time I look at these drivers, their massive collection of portability ifdefs makes it quite difficult to decipher the code. Virtually all changes to these drivers in the last eight years have been mechanical API updates. During this time, FDDI has become totally obsolete. Unless someone is running these drivers for real on a modern version of FreeBSD I would like to remove them from 6.0 and stop wasting my time on them. If you could tell me where to begin, I'd like to try to make them more readible / maintainable. I've done some poking around (fpa(4) doesn't always attach correctly for me, due to some DMA issues) but without the proper data sheets, I guess it'll be hard to figure out where the problem lies. If anyone has data sheets for these cards, I'd be willing to bring them to a more maintainable level. I agree the code is a bit hard to decipher due to all the #ifdef's, I could work on getting rid of these alltogether. However, in order to fix the attachment problem (fpa0: Initialization failure, which I always get on some machines) I figure I'd need more detailed information.
