Re: Bootstrapping perl (Re: cvs commit: src/gnu/usr.bin/perl Makefile.inc src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/libperl Makefile src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/miniperl Makefile)

2000-06-27 Thread Mark Murray

  I thought build-tools was the answer; sadly that seems to be wrong.
  Now I'm looking at cross-tools (out of src/makefile.inc1).
 
 Adding something to bootstrap-tools implies that we can't use the
 installed miniperl (backward compatibility problem) or the host doesn't
 have miniperl.  The bootstrap-tools built miniperl would then be used
 throughout the build and install stages.

What you say supports the theory that build-tools is the answer; however
build-tools seems to want to do an in-place build - not to install the
tool(s) somewhere into the path like cross-tools. I'm in trouble with
cross-tools because libraries are not available :-(.

 Note that bootstrap-tools are built (and installed under /obj) to be run
 on the host.  This means that miniperl is going to be built a second time
 for the target architecture.  The bootstrap-tools stage is designed to
 solve incompatibilities caused by versions of tools installed on the
 system and the requirements (for newer ones) by the source-tree.

OK - I'll try again fro build-tools.

Re: Bootstrapping perl ...

2000-06-27 Thread George W. Dinolt

I have found that the following small diff to /usr/src/Makefile.inc1
allows the buildworld to proceed:

*** Makefile.inc1~  Mon Jun 26 23:00:54 2000
--- Makefile.inc1   Mon Jun 26 23:27:05 2000

! TMPPATH=
${STRICTTMPPATH}:${OBJTREE}${.CURDIR}/gnu/usr.bin/perl/miniperl:${PATH}

  #
  # Building a world goes through the following stages

This is probably only a temporary fix and is not the right approach, but
it does illustrate that the problem is  that the  miniperl  from
/usr/bin/miniperl was being called by the
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/Makefile.inc and not the one built during the
buildworld.

Since "miniperl" is referenced in the perl/Makefile.inc either one has
to "hardcode" the version of miniperl, i.e. include the path of the
version of miniperl for each reference in that makefile, or one should
install miniperl someplace in ${WORLDTMP} which is included in the path.
The former appears to be more in the spirit of "build-tools" since these
"tools' do not install their targets.  They assume that the targets
operate in place. The later (installing miniperl inside of ${WORLDTMP)
would require an update to the build-tools target in perl/miniperl.

Maybe none of the above is the correct approach, but these are some
ideas.

Regards, George Dinolt

Note: My buildworld has not completed as I write this but it has gotten
through the bootstrap and makedepends part of the  perl build and I need
to get to bed.

 How about adding a hint to the hint driver itself. E.g.
 
 SYNOPSIS

I don't think this is enough.  If I botch my hints file enough (and
lets say I fat finger some other files in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf.  Been
there, done that, so lets just assume that it will happen to other
people), I should be able to figure out what I need to configure a device
from the on-line man-pages.

How about something like this:

SYNOPSIS
device isa
device ata
hints "hintsfile"   # see hints(4)

For ata devices on the isa bus, the hint file must contain:  the
bus that the device resides on (isa), the I/O port and IRQ.
For the primary controller, port IO_WD1 and IRQ 14 are used.
For the secondary controller, port IO_WD2 and IRQ 15 are used.

Maybe the descriptive text could be replaced with something like:

See the main text for a description of bus/port/IRQ/flag assignments.

And then the main text would include something similar to what I typed
above.

Then hints(4) could tell the user the syntax they actually have
to use and how to use it.  If the syntax changes, then we only have to 
update the generic hints(4).

From looking at "NOTES", mostly ISA devices are affected.
ppc/scsi/miibus seem to be the other devices (plus another
oddball or two).

I think as long as we can decide how to provide the needed information
in the device specific man pages, this shouldn't be too hard
to actually sit down and do.

Then someone also has to sit down and write hints(4) to back
it all up :-).

let badsect recog IFCHR in 5.0-C

2000-06-27 Thread Clive Lin

Hi,

Here is the diff for badsect(8) to recognize character device (IFCHR) 
rather than block device (IFBLK), since there's no block device in current.

I don't know if there's any difference bewteen block and character
device. So, I surly don't know if this will screw up any disk. But, it
just works for me... hm.. I don't want to buy a new ata66 disk to replace
the old one, because my motherboard has only ata33 :-) 

The old disk stores ports, src, obj, doc and some other data that could
be retrived back at any time. After makeing some large ports and the whole
doc/, I luckly see no more the HARD READ ERROR blk# ... messages. Though,
this doesn't mean this diff is right. May someone knows hard drive devices
well take a look at it ? Thanks.

Regards,
Clive

Re: XML driver config file to replace LINT

2000-06-27 Thread Hiroki Sato

Nik Clayton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote
 in [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 [ That schema is not set in stone, and certainly requires more work.  In
   particular, we probably need "lang" and "encoding" options on the
   comment element, to support comments in more than one language. ]
 
 LINT would then become a skeletal file for things which don't fit this
 sort of pattern, and the full LINT would be generated by a script which
 parsed the above and the skeletal file to generate the full LINT.

 I think it is difficult to maintain the files because few editors
 can handle various languages/encodings at the same time.
 So, especially for translators, it is better that the .xml files
 are separated on a encoding/language basis.

 However, separated .xml files according to encoding/language
 like FreeBSD Handbook also cause another problem.  If these files are
 used to create actual configuration files as not only doc or
 advisory purpose, translated .xml files but are not synchronized
 with English version can be more harmful.  For instance,
 the out-dated translation couldn't create an appropriate LINT, so
 non-English readers cannot know modifications in the original file.

 Thus, configuration items that don't need to translate should be common,
 and others such as description field that can be translated should be
 separated, and it is better that latter separated .xml
 files (i.e. translated one) have a additional marker that
 indicates whether a file is synch'ed with the original version or not.

Nik Clayton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote
 in [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 The aim is that we have one file that describes the drivers -- this file
 will be used by us to keep the documentation up to date, but it will also
 be used by the system -- if the driver writer doesn't update this file then
 the system won't know about their driver, and won't build it.  They'll *have*
 to keep it up to date.

 One file...why?  A port in Ports Collection depends on some files
 not one file, but it works fine.  I think we can maintain more easily
 several small files than big one file.

Questions about kmem_malloc and SPL levels

2000-06-27 Thread John Polstra G

The comment leading into kmem_malloc (in sys/vm/vm_kern.c) is
worrying me:

 *  This routine has its own private kernel submap (kmem_map) and object
 *  (kmem_object).  This, combined with the fact that only malloc uses
 *  this routine, ensures that we will never block in map or object waits.

Actually, this function is called by m_clalloc (in
sys/kern/uipc_mbuf.c) too.  The comment is obviously wrong.  Is it a
problem that this assumption is violated?

 *  Note that this still only works in a uni-processor environment and
 *  when called at splhigh().

The first part will be news to the folks running SMP. :-) The business
about splhigh is also wrong.  But what worries me is that malloc calls
it at splmem, while m_clalloc calls it at splimp.  Is that a problem?

ipfw check-state and ipfw fwd ?

2000-06-27 Thread Adrian Chadd


Hi,

I have a tunnel setup which requires me to rewrite the next hop of packets
going from the tunneled network out to the internet to go out via the
tunnel (rather than going out the default route, who drops the packets
(validly) because it thinks I'm trying to IP spoof.)

The trouble is that I'm also trying to use a dynamic ipfw rule to only
allow outgoing TCP connections from a single IP .. this doesn't seem
to work well with ipfw fwd.

The relevant bits:

00100   0 0 check-state
00200   0 0 allow ip from any to any via lo0
00300   0 0 deny ip from any to 203.56.168.40 in recv tun0
00400   288 allow tcp from 203.56.168.40 to any keep-state setup
(the three going in here are totally not relevant)
00800   0 0 fwd 213.35.234.1 ip from 203.56.168.0/24 to any out xmit xl1
65000 195 15257 allow ip from any to any
65535  50  7996 allow ip from any to any
## Dynamic rules:
00400 1 44 (T 5, # 163) ty 0 tcp, 203.56.168.40 1161 - 203.30.44.82 80

As you can see, the dynamic rule gets created, but I'm not entirely
certain its being trapped on the fwd rule, as a tcpdump of the external
interface xl1 shows the packet going out rather than being forwarded
to 213.35.234.1 (the tunnel interface endpoint).

Any clues? Is the dynamic rulesets not meant to do this at all? Is there
a way I can trick things into working?



Thanks,

so suddenly ssh doesn't work any more.

it says:

luckily /usr/local/bin/ssh was still there
and still works.

but making it a symlink to /dev/random 
didn't help..

i just had the same problem.  this was probably discussed

you can either kldload /modules/randomdev.ko or add
"options RANDOMDEV" to your kernel config.

make sure you read the warning in /usr/src/UPDATING.

 Can we make this a standard thing?  I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't

 boot disk kernel, but I think the headaches that this could cause or worth
 the code we might add.

It is already in GENERIC; when the dust has settled, I'll tackle

src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/library/Makefile, but someone more familiar with the
bsd.*.mk files might know of a better solution.  Regardless, I'll try my
theory out and see if it fixes release.

Not really because it is breaking in the 'distribute' target, which
isn't used during world, but only during release.

perl5 ports and perl5.006

2000-06-27 Thread Ade Lovett

Got a couple of issues with perl5.006 that just went into -current
in terms of perl5 ports.

The first one is relatively straightforward, being a simple
versioning problem.  Following patch fixes that (OSVERSION
may be slightly wrong, but it corresponds to what I have
in my up-to-date src tree):

The next one is a little more obscure, at least to my limited
perl knowledge.

Take a perl5 port at random.. I chose converters/p5-Convert-UU
I had to make the following (kludgy) hack to the PLIST to make
things package properly:

Notice how things appear to be being installed in a mach/ subdirectory,
as opposed to the previous {i386,alpha}-freebsd/ subdirectories.

Also, when making the port, it complains about not being able to
find pod2man (to make the manual pages), even though it successfully
does this elsewhere.

This appears to be affect most (if not all) of the perl5 ports.

Any solutions for this problem?

Re: Questions about kmem_malloc and SPL levels

2000-06-27 Thread Bruce Evans

On Tue, 27 Jun 2000, John Polstra G wrote:

 The comment leading into kmem_malloc (in sys/vm/vm_kern.c) is
 worrying me:
 
  *  This routine has its own private kernel submap (kmem_map) and object
  *  (kmem_object).  This, combined with the fact that only malloc uses
  *  this routine, ensures that we will never block in map or object waits.
 
 Actually, this function is called by m_clalloc (in
 sys/kern/uipc_mbuf.c) too.  The comment is obviously wrong.  Is it a
 problem that this assumption is violated?
 
  *  Note that this still only works in a uni-processor environment and
  *  when called at splhigh().

This comment hasn't changed significantly since Net/2 or earlier.  It
was already wrong there.  In Net/2, and still in 4.4BSDLite[1-2], both
malloc() and m_clalloc() call kmem_malloc() at splimp().  The safety
of this depends on malloc() not being called from non-network interrupt
handlers.  splhigh() would have to be used instead of splimp() if any
interrupt handler could call malloc().  malloc() can be called safely
from timeout interrupt handlers too, because splimp() masks timeouts.

In FreeBSD, malloc() can also be called from bio interrupt handlers.
splvm() = splimp() + splbio() is used for malloc() but not for m_clalloc()
or m_mballoc().

 The first part will be news to the folks running SMP. :-) The business
 about splhigh is also wrong.  But what worries me is that malloc calls
 it at splmem, while m_clalloc calls it at splimp.  Is that a problem?

malloc() calls it on kmem_map while m_clalloc() call it on mb_map, so I
think there is no problem in principle.  vm just has to call splvm()
itself and not depend on kmem_malloc() being called at splvm() (so the
comment is broken in yet another way).

There is a general inconsistency in the vm code it seems, for what
  concerns this issue. I noticed it while looking at the mbuf stuff. As you
  mention, kmem_malloc() should really just raise to splvm() itself, as do
  some other routines already in such a situation (look at vm_map).
As in the mbuf stuff I seperated mb_map into two parts: mb_map and
  mcl_map, the long if () statements in vm_map became tedious, not to
  mention, a slight loss in speed, so what I did (after Emailing dillon
  about it) was add an alloc_intr field in the vm_map. This is set to 1 for
  kmem_map, mb_map, and mcl_map, and is checked in the vm_map stuff to
  decide whether to raise to splvm(), and should probably also be checked
  in kmem_malloc() for the same reason as well. However, I suspect that
  kmem_malloc calls some of those vm_map routines at one point or another
  and they take care of raising to splvm() when necessary, so I don't
  suspect a critical problem. The question is exactly: How much of
  kmem_malloc needs to be under splvm() ?
In any case, the comment needs to be changed ASAP (I Emailed the
  lists myself about this maybe on 2 different occasions before and have
  gotten no reply).

snapshot of CardBus support code for FreeBSD

2000-06-27 Thread YAMAMOTO Shigeru


Hi all,

I'm writing a code to support CardBus at FreeBSD.
I put on a current working code snapshot at my Web,
URL:http://www.bremen.or.jp/shigeru/FreeBSD/CardBus/

This is an alpha quality and different implimentation of NEWCARD.
Currently, It only works on my laptop, SONY VAIO PCG-818.
Supported PC Cards are MELCO WLI-PCM-L11, which is an OEM of a Lucent
WaveLan, and Corega FastEther PCC-TX.
These 16-bit PC Cards are using PCI interrupt, not use ISA interrupt.
CardBus PC Card does not work, we can only dump a CIS.

I put on a compiled kernel at same place.
#Please try it if you want.

Thanks,

Boot Oddities

2000-06-27 Thread Dampure, Pierre Y.


Apologies if this ought to be in -questions rather than -current, but
since I first noticed the problem on 5.0-2621-CURRENT...

The above snapshot was installed on a brand new system (OR840, 2x733EB,
512MB RDRAM, 1xAHA2940UW, 4x9.1Gb Barracuda). The disk organisation is
as follows:

da0:one NTFS partition (W2K), FreeBSD multiboot MBR installed
da1:fully dedicated, FreeBSD, has the root partition (da1s1a)
da2:fully dedicated, FreeBSD
da3:fully dedicated, FreeBSD

Since this is a recent snapshot, I assume it defaults to use loader(8). 

When the system boots, I get the usual F1/F5 choice, as follows:

F1  ??
F5  Drive 1

Default: F5

Selecting F5 (or letting the timer run to completion) leads to the
following:

Disk error 0x1 (lba=0xe0040)
No /boot/loader

 FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 1:da(1,a)/kernel
boot:

then proceeding to load /kernel, rather than /boot/loader (which is why
I posted about problems with nlist (aka top/vmstat/systat) a few days
ago).

If I hit a key early enough, I get:

 FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 1:da(1,a)/boot/loader
boot:

Hitting RETURN then leads to:

Disk error 0x1 (lba=0xe0040)
No /boot/loader

after which I need to enter 1:da(1,a)/kernel to proceed.

Needless to say, /boot/loader IS on da1s1a (with its usual assortment of
.rc and .conf in required places), which is why I am a bit surprised.

Can anyone shed a light on the above? I now know how to get around the
nlist issue, but this is not the recommended method...

Configuration files available upon request.
