Re: [Bug #12792] 2.6.29-rc6-git4 boot failure

2009-03-23 Thread Benjamin Herrenschmidt

 I narrowed it down to 2.6.28-git2(Boots) while 2.6.28-git4(fails to boot).
 I could not boot test 2.6.28-git3 as i ran into kernel compilation issues.
 
 Here is the error message i got when i tried compiling 2.6.28-git3.
 
   LD  vmlinux.o
 ld: dynreloc miscount for kernel/built-in.o, section .opd
 ld: can not edit opd Bad value
 
 I think the above one was some tool chain related issue.
 
 I don't know how to git bisect using these two releases 
 (2.6.28-git2/2.6.28-git4).
 I guess that is not possible since there are no commit tags for these 
 releases.
 But i could be wrong.
 
 Is there anything else that i could try out to find a solution for this ?
 The machine in question is a Power Mac G5 running Ubuntu Hardy with a
 PPC970, altivec supported CPU(2).
 
 For the record i can still recreate this issue with 2.6.29-rc8-git6.

Strange I have such a powermac here and haven't seen that problem... let
me dig a bit.

Cheers,
Ben.

 I've tried some Ubuntu suggestions

 It sounds like GEM broke something - though maybe it just added a more
 verbose error report.

 This means that something went wrong with our detection of the
 CPU-versus-GPU tiling swizzling mode, and object tiling under GEM will
 be disabled as a result.  I should get access to an eee 7xx on Thursday
 to see what's up with it -- it's supposed to be just a normal 915gm as
 far as I know.

Any news about this tiling error?

It's already been reported as a bug in Ubuntu Jaunty, in the belief
that it reduces video performance [1], and is also mentioned on a
similar bug in Fedora [2].

Ah, I should also mention that I still see the error on the latest RC,

 Rename the pagerange_is_ram() to pat_pagerange_is_ram() and add the
 track legacy 1MB region as non RAM condition.

But the lowest 640K are most definitely RAM.

not all of it ;)

ram is defined as the kernel memory allocator knows about it and
would hand it out in this context; BIOS owned areas are not ram in
this context.

Re: 2.6.29-rc8-git5: Reported regressions from 2.6.28

  I think this was tracked back to the effective halving of

 Yes, exactly. The patch for fixing this regression is trivial.

I was planning on applying that patch only after 2.6.29 is out, and then 
if there are no surprising side effects and nobody complains, we'd then 
back-port it into stable.

It still does not work with 2.6.29-rc8.
