Is any patch to situation with bad linking library on -CURRENT?
Have a nice day! I'm sorry for possible beginning of flame, but is there exist real solution for bad linking library problem on -CURRENT? I was noticed about this problem about two or three weeks ago, and don't see nothing except discussions about new binutils. May be I was inattentive but can anybody tell me (may be, for us?) how to fix that problem? I haven't enough knowledge to solve this by my hand for my sorry and need assistance. I have AMD Duron, MB Epox 8KTA3+, IBM 60 Gb, Radeon 8500, and 5.0-CURRENT installed on that. The first problem was occured is coredumps any program compiled with imlib. It was come to light on gnomelibs building - on configure stage conftest program was exit with bus error message and coredumps. The second problem is mplayer exits with the same message (bus error) right after launch. Once again excuse me for anxiety and possible impoliteness. Sincerelly yours, Vladimir G.

ports problem: where to start
I just upgraded everything on my system and I'm still having trouble with vim, AbiWord, and open-motif-devel. The problem with vim is one I can fix by changing the install.sh script it comes with by forcing it to link against the X11 library. For some reason it does not pick up that it's required: $ gvim /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libXThrStub.XmbResetIC not found The other two are executing `mkdir /' at install time.

One problem with making the mds so big is that it uses type malloc
which afaict uses malloc(9) to get the backing store. This was the
point of the M_SHORTWAIT patch posted a while ago, if you ask for too
much with M_WAITOK you might go to sleep and never be woken up. It
might be better to use type vnode with file or swap based backing
store. sparc64 machines tend to have more ram than older pcs that
this might also be used on :)

I had no problem with kernel from February 14, but failed ums probes are happening very consistently with kernel from Feb 18. Kernels from dates earlier than Feb 14 failed to attach USB mouse most of the time but sometimes misteriously managed to work. No configuration was changing between successfull and unsuccessful boots, and there was no pattern whatsoever to hint why was that happening. By the way, the problem is related to the ums driver only, apparently. While I am having problems with the mouse, my USB scanner works absolutely reliably. with current of yesterday everything seems to be ok for me again.

As a guest you can read but not update, you have to register to update content. There is a Freebsd web and it has 1 topic which is the SMP project. I have put the entire page from http://www.freebsd.org/smp/ into TWiki. The local references on that page (i.e. the href:./foo.txt stuff) are now external references but we could fix that. A few notes might be helpful. 1) Why did you do this? TWiki (and Wiki's in general) allow people to easily update centralized web content without haveing to have real logins on the web serving computer. This makes keeping things like worklists trivial. The language used by TWiki is NOT HTML but a clever subset that requires a lot less work. For instance a table looks like this: | Task | Responsible | Date| | Task 1| GeorgeNevilleNeil| 2 March 2002 | This will get translated into a nice, simple HTML table by the TWiki stuff. 2) What do I have to do to use this? To read the stuff just go to: http://www.neville-neil.com/twiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome and click on the Freebsd label. To update you must register. Go to the main page and register yourself. The passwords are encrypted but I WOULD NOT use my system password here. Actually, I'd like it if you didn't use any important password there, I don't want to be responsible for y'all in that way. 3) How do I learn more about TWiki? Go to www.twiki.org In particular check out: http://TWiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Main/TWikiPresentation s to see why and how we should be using TWiki. ONE FINAL NOTE. TWiki uses WordsLikeThis to denote automatic links. This means that FreeBSD is an automatic link. If you MUST type FreeBSD then put a nop before it on the page. I'm working with the author to come up with a way to make it so that FreeBSD never gets converted within our TWiki Web. Later, George -- George V.

It seems to include a number of structural changes ranging from the removal of braces (syntactical changes) to straightforward but major flow changes such as found in getgroups(). Some of these changes, for example return()ing in the middle of a procedure, are highly dependant on the removal of Giant. goto's are questionable but replacing them with return()s in the middle of a procedure isn't too hot an idea either. * I do not think it is a good idea to mix these changes with the ucred changes, even if they appear to be straightforward. You are making a large number of changes to the system all at once. The changes should focus only on what is absolutely necessary in this round. Leave syntactical (cleanup?) to a later round. * I strongly, *strongly* disagree with the removal of Giant at this time, even in 'read-only' functions. I would much rather see a methodology whereby Giant is replaced with an instrumented Giant such as found in the patches I was working on. If you are really worried about the 10ns of call overhead I believe Peter has been interested in making the instrumentation optionable at compile time (and I am not against that provided it is done correctly). The reason I am strongly opposed to the removal of Giant is several fold: - Giant serves to mark where we were essentially single threading the kernel before and this will be important in understanding and tracking down bugs we find in the future. And make no mistake, there will be many. - Giant is going to be pushed down into many subsystems in coming months. It is highly likely that many hard-to-find bugs are going to come out of the woodwork, no matter how conservative we are or how well we believe we understand the code. Without instrumentation tracking down the less obvious bugs is going to be difficult. - It's a bad idea to second-guess the code, even if a piece of code looks like Giant can simply be removed (i.e. due to being a read-only function like getuid()). The removal of Giant creates all sorts of side effects, from something as simple as a difference in performance to something more complex such as creating memory sync points and removing (pseudo giant-enforced) atomicy that was previously depended upon. We are almost certainly going to face hard-to-find races in the code as Giant is unwound, even if we are extremely conservative in our commits. It's going to happen. The code was never designed for MP operation. Instrumenting Giant unconditionally at this early stage will make our jobs a whole lot easier. If you are completely against doing Giant instrumentation in your own patch sets then I would like both a head's up (like you just did) of patch sets you intend to commit to the main tree, and also permission to add Giant instrumentation in a secondary commit after you make the initial commit (which also means I would request that you not make code flow changes if at all possible). I think it's *that* important. I would much prefer that you do it yourself but if you won't I feel strongly enough about the issue to want to do it myself. --- on cred_update_thread() -- I suggested this same thing to Julian so I agree with adding Giant back in. Again, I would instrument it instead of just adding back in, i.e.: s = mtx_lock_giant(kern_giant_proc); PROC_LOCK(p); td-td_ucred = crhold(p-p_ucred); PROC_UNLOCK(p); mtx_unlock_giant(s); Instead of: mtx_lock(Giant); PROC_LOCK(p); td-td_ucred = crhold(p-p_ucred); PROC_UNLOCK(p); mtx_unlock(Giant); In anycase, if you are willing to either instrument Giant or allow me to then I am willing to do full reviews of reasonably-chunked patch sets (the URL you just posted is quite
HEADS UP: ACPI CA updated
I've finally updated the ACPI CA codebase with Intel's 20020214 drop (yes, I tagged it 0217, my bad). This is the first drop that Intel haven't asked me not to commit since the 20011120 version, so there are a large number of changes and bugfixes. See Intel's logs at http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi for more details. There aren't many changes in the FreeBSD-specific code, this is just catching up with major improvements in the interpreter. As usual, please report any problems or success to the list.

If you are really worried about the 10ns of call overhead I believe Peter has been interested in making the instrumentation optionable at compile time (and I am not against that provided it is done correctly). I don't care about whatever time it takes to do teh check. I don't make decisions about debugging code based on clock cycles. Here are my concerns: - kern.giant.proc as you would have it now is far too broad. Most of the proc locking currently in the tree and in my work tree is not safe yet. This is because certain fields are only locked in certain places. For a field to be safe outside of Giant, it needs to be locked everywhere. You include both code that contains partially locked fields and fully locked fields under the same sysctl. This means I can't actually turn the sysctl on to do the testing safely, so I might as well just leave Giant in there rahter than bother with a useless sysctl. One solution might be to split ths sysctl up. Well then, how many are we going to have, one sysctl for each field in proc? This won't scale in my opinion. It may be useful for covering fields that aren't fully locked, but for stuff that is done, I don't think you need it. - How many various locking systems do syscalls like read() going call into? Are we going to eventually need to check 8, 10, or 16 sysctl's? Trying to keep all that straight will be a major pain. This is another reason I don't think they scale well. - We eventually have to go and remove all this stuff anyways. - As another note specific to td_ucred: there is no other lock that you are covering up for. It is a private per-thread pointer to a read-only structure. I can see needing to turn Giant back on around a lock done wrong, but there is no lock in this instance. We need to people to test stuff as it comes out from under Giant so we can find the bugs sooner rather than later, the current way these things work is far too coarse grained and I think I'll be spending more time figuring out how to split them up to make them useful and then figure out where they need to be acquired. For example, assuming I used kern.giant.proc.ucred for just the td_ucred stuff, since I've changed just about every VOP in the system, I now need to add instrumentation around every single syscall that might call a VOP, or that might call any of the other functions I changed.

I don't think you quite understand the purpose of instrumenting Giant. You are synthesizing problems where none exist, and you are making assumptions that are simply not true.

How the hell are other people supposed to be able to work on the system when the only person who knows what is safe and what is not is you? One of the things Giant instrumentation gives us is the ability to show people, very clearly in the code, what we believe to be safe and what we believe not to be safe, or in beta, simply by changing the giant globals in kern_mutex.c. It allows other developers to see, very clearly, *EXACTLY* where we are in the Giant pushdown work. The way you are doing it nobody will know what the hell is going on except you! :We need to people to test stuff as it comes out from under Giant so we can find The instrumented Giant does not in any way prevent this from occuring.

I think it is going to take 5 times as long if there is no clear documentation or indication in the code showing developers what is safe, what is under test, and what is not safe. What I am doing is trying to prevent that from happening. You are treating each subsystem separately and assuming that bugs will be found on a per-subsystem basis, regardless of the complexity of the interactions between subsystems. Well, I know better. When you have a dozen subsystems interacting in an MP system and you have a race or MP-related bug, good fucking luck find it! How long do you want it to take to get a stable 5.x release? Because the way you are going it isn't going to happen until we hit 5.3 or so. -Matt Matthew Dillon [EMAIL PROTECTED] :John Baldwin [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ :Power Users Use the Power to Serve! - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
