PANIC with tonight's -CURRENT

2003-10-10 Thread Joe Marcus Clarke
I just upgraded my PIII 750 to tonight's -CURRENT, and it panics right
after creating GEOM disks for da0 and cd0:

Waiting 8 seconds for SCSI devices to settle
GEOM: create disk cd0 dp=0xc5174600
GEOM: create disk da0 dp=0xc516ec50
panic: pmap_zero_page: CMAP3 busy

Here is the stack trace (copied from screen):

The problem seems to be that the kld name is 'geom_bde' but the module
name is 'g_bde' and gbde's main() we search for the kld which in your case
doesn't exist.

Could you please try the attached patch for src/sbin/gbde?

panic: page fault (using ppp ipv6cp)

2003-10-10 Thread Yoshihide Sonoda
Hello,

I upgraded my machine to CURRENT of today. It was paniced at while the
ppp process was making the IPv6 tunnel. When I rebooted it several
times, the problem occurred in the same place (currnet process = ppp).
Now I'm using an older kernel(cvsuped October 2). This older kernel
works fine.

My setting of ppp is as follows.

## ppp.conf

default:
 set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
 set server /tmp/pppctl "" 0177
 allow users yoshi

tun6:
 set escape 0xff
 set device xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:6669
 set dial
 set timeout 0 0
 set authname tun
 set authkey 
 enable ipv6cp
 disable ipcp

## rc.conf
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_profile="tun6"
ppp_mode="ddial"
ipv6_enable="YES"
ipv6_network_interfaces="em0"
ipv6_gateway_enable="YES"
ipv6_static_routes="default"

xl0: watchdog timeout

2003-10-10 Thread Kris Kennaway
Since upgrading to -CURRENT last night I have been getting a lot of
watchdog timeouts on my xl0 device every time I put it under load:

I experienced similar problems on a dual Athlon system (MSI K7D
Master-L motherboard, AMD 760MPX chipset, dual Athlon MP 2200+) which
is barely a couple of months old.  I ended up reverting to RELENG_5_1.
With -CURRENT, both UP and SMP kernels will crash with symptoms which
suggest hardware trouble.  With RELENG_5_1, UP is rock solid (knock on
wood) while SMP crashes within minutes of booting.  I've run out of
patience with this system, so I'll keep running RELENG_5_1 on it until
someone manages to convince me that -CURRENT will run properly on AMD
hardware (maybe around 5.3 or so...)

Now, my shiny new 2.4 GHz P4, on the other hand...  *drool*

This is the third time I've received this message.  I guess you feel some
urgency about receiving a reply?

My answer is this:  I did the polling code for a number of the drivers, and
though it was committed by someone else, I can guarantee you that it
will have interrupts, unless the code was implemented incorreectly, since
the code is meant to  do this polling only under heavy load.

The purpose of going to a polling model is *not* to avoid interrupts, it's
to avoid processing data into the input routines when you don't have
enough CPU cycles to deal with it before more data comes in.  In other
words, it's to deal with the situation where you would end up in receiver
livelock as a result of taking so many interrupts that you never get an
oportunity to process the packets out of the input queue into the per
protocol input routines at NETISR, or from the top-of stack (socket
buffers) into the user buffers in user space, or run the code in user space
to take the data and generate a reply, or in kernel space to send the
reply out.

In other words, you *only ever* want to do polling when you have sufficient
load to make polling worthwhile, and when you do it under low loads, you
are actually *wasting* cycles, rather than *saving* them.

Polling never *saves* cycles, per se, it only causes incoming data to be
dropped (and, presumably, retransmitted) by the other end of the
connection.

For this, because there is not specific card support for it, and there's no
interface entry points to deal with it, even if there were, the DMA engine on
the card is *NOT* halted, you *still* eat bus transfer overhead, and it still
eats up your PCI bandwidth, and this cost is *incredibly* larger than just
interrupt and requeueing overhead.

If your FXP is not generating any interrupts at all, i think that the polling
code in it is probably broken.

Note: I believe this might be one of the ones I modified, since Luigi's code
originally only dealt with Gigabit NICs, though I may be mistaken.  If so,
my statement that it's broken should be considered to be pretty
authoritative.  8-).

I've done that.  As mentioned in the message, I've done complete
system rebuilds using snapshots from about Sept 12th to Oct 8th.
The problem is that it's tedious do keep doing these rebuilds,
when the very act of a buildworld or buildkernel can trigger
the system lockup.
I really am torn between thinking that it's a change in -current
and thinking it must be something about my specific system.
Depending on which set of observations I pick, I can make an
excellent case for either one being the culprit.  So, if no one
else *is* seeing this kind of problem, then it's more likely to
be my hardware (one way or another).  I'll keep trying things.

Given that no one else has reported such a warning and that some of
the registers in his dump had weird values, I would really chalk this
up to hardware.

Re: howto debug acpi_thermal on Dell 2500 servers

2003-10-10 Thread Ken Menzel
Thanks for the info.  I did try mbmon,   not the x version, but the
command line version.  It hung.  I have hunted for thermal details for
2500 servers on dell's web site but can not find anything that seems
to relate!  I was hoping that acpi was the answer.  Seems like the
it's a secret :( , I am not an expert in this area.  The acpi stuff
looks really cool.  Very easy to use in any program (I use nagios for
monitoring (see ports)).

If anyone knows a detail I don't about this I don't want to flood
current unless it's relevant (I think acpi is relevant to curent, but
general temp stuff would not be).  I will entertain any other ideas in
private messages, so please feel free to e-mail me privately.

Thanks!  Ken

Seeing system-lockups on recent current

2003-10-10 Thread Garance A Drosihn
For the past week or so, I have been having a frustrating time
with my freebsd-current/i386 system.  It is a dual Athlon
system.  It has been running -current just fine since December,
with me updating the OS every week or two.  I did not update it
for most of September, and then went to update it to pick up
the recent round of security-related fixes.
My first update run picked up a change which caused system
panics.  Other people were also seeing that panic, and it
wasn't long before updates were committed to current to fix
that problem.  However, ever since then my -current system
has very frequently locked up.  Totally locked.  The only way
to get it back is a hardware reset.
I have rebuilt the system at least a dozen times since then.
I have built it with snapshots of /usr/src from Sept 12th
to Oct 8th (which is what it's running at the moment).  I
have dropped back to a single-CPU kernel.  I turned off X
(in /etc/ttys) so that doesn't start up at all.  All those
attempts to get a reliable 5.x-system have not worked.
Sometimes the system will crash in the middle of a buildworld,
other times it will crash while it's basically idle and the
monitor is turned off.  One time it crashed in the middle of
an installworld -- right when it was replacing /lib files.
Boy was that a headache to recover from!
On the same PC, in a different DOS partition, is a 4.x-stable
system.  If I boot into 4.x, I have no problems.  I fire up
all the servers that I run, start buildworlds, run cvsup's,
and even had all the 5.x partitions mounted and was running
a infinite-loop that MD5'd every file in the 5.x system.  I
had all of that going on at the same time, and the system is
fine.  While in the 4.x system, I've removed /usr/src on the
5.x system and recreated it, just in case there were some
files corrupted in there.  And once the problems started, I
made a point of always removing all of /usr/obj/usr/src
before starting the buildworld, in case there were corrupted
files in there.
I still have a few things I want to try.  And I know it could
still be a hardware problem (although it bugs me that it fails
so consistently on 5.x and never fails on 4.x).  Perhaps it
is just some disk-corruption problem that occurred during the
first few panics.  But I thought I'd at least mention it, and
see if anyone else has been having similar problems.

I do know that on the dell 1550, temperature monitoring is done
with an lm80, which didn't seem to want to play with smbus.
(x)mbmon which opens /dev/io directly is able to get temperature
readings. Might be worth a try.

Could there be a typo or other error in one of /boot/loader's scripts? 
"Warning -- Unmatched control word: leave" would be generated by
resolveAbsBranch() in sys/boot/ficl/words.c.

Does this box work ok with a 4.x release CD?  It may be your
RAM.  The Warning message is kind of weird.  It seems you were
probably in the BIOS trying to read some bits off of disk and
the BIOS headed off to lala-land.

ata broken on Thinkpad A22m

2003-10-10 Thread Brian Buchanan
After updating to yesterday's -CURRENT, my IBM Thinkpad A22m stoped
booting.  It hangs at:

GEOM: create disk ad0 dp=0xc3ded670
ad0: 38154MB  [77520/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33
ata1: resetting devices ..
done

The console is still alive, but the kernel appears to be waiting for an
interrupt that will never come.  My Thinkpad is known to have a buggy ata
controller which (sometimes? all the time?) fails to send interrupts for
ata1-slave, and causes various revisions of the kernel to complain in
various places. -CURRENT used to complain at boot, and the most recent
working kernel I have complains at shutdown.

The most recent working kernel, from earlier this week:

GEOM: create disk ad0 dp=0xc3ded670
ad0: 38154MB  [77520/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA33
acd0: DVDROM  at ata1-master PIO4
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s3a

at shutdown:

howto debug acpi_thermal on Dell 2500 servers

2003-10-10 Thread Ken Menzel
Hi,
   I am trying to figure out how to use ACPI to get thermal info on
Dell 2500 servers.  I have compiled acpi into the kernel  (see below
for problems with acpi as module with ACPI_DEBUG in make.conf).  I
can't seem to get any addtional info from acpi.   Do I need a debug
kernel?  Do I have to have more options in my kernel config?  Is
someone already doing (done?) this and I shouldn't bother to try and
debug it?

Thanks, Ken
I tried to include any relevant details that I saw in other messages
in the archives:

I seemed to get more info without ACPI_DEBUG on and the acpi as a KLD.
sidenote: kernel would not load the acpi.ko file if I made it with
ACPI_DEBUG=1 in make.conf. (See way below)

now I am using:
device  acpi
options ACPI_DEBUG

I tried adding OPTIONS ACPI_VERBOSE but it gives 'unknown option
"ACPI_VERBOSE" '

  My loader.conf is as follows:
riker# cat /boot/loader.conf
hw.acpi.debug=1
hw.acpi.verbose = 1
debug.acpi.layer = "ACPI_ALL_COMPONENTS ACPI_FAN ACPI_THERMAL"
debug.acpi.level = "ACPI_LV_WARN ACPI_LV_ERROR ACPI_LV_OBJECTS"

Thanks for this update,
I've been trying to make a SCHED_ULE enabled kernel work here for a few
days now, thinking it would be about time to test it again (last time
was ~2 months ago), but ata issues have kept me from booting it
successfully. Now I know for sure I can give it atleast another week -
maybe both ata and sched issues can be ironed out by then ;)

Thanks for your efforts.

I have reproduced the lagging mouse issue on my laptop.  I tried moused to

I have a Tyan S1832DL with dual PII 350s, 384 MB of ram, Adaptec 2940 
scsi controler w/Seagate ST39102LW disk, and a voodoo 3 3000.  I've been 
running ULE for a while now and have noticed that I don't have to be in 
X to see the scheduling problem, I don't even have to be in multi-user 
mode to notice.  Typing and executing commands in single user mode I can 
see the scheduling is not fluid.  For instance, I can type in and 
execute the sync command so fast that I'm finished before the characters 
actually get printed and the prompt returns.  I don't think it's ever 
been more than a one second delay, but sometimes it's been close.

I suspect a problem with IPC.  I will know more soon.

There have also been a few reports of problems related to nice.  I was
able to reproduce some awkward behavior but I have nothing conclusive yet.
There is still a known issue with hyperthreading.  I'm waiting on some of
john baldwin's work to fix this.  If you halt logical cpus your machine
will hang.
Expect some resolution on the ULE problems within a week or so.  Thanks
for the detailed bug reports everyone.
Your dedication to FreeBSD is outstanding, I always look forward to 
seeing your name in the cvs reports.  Thanks for your efforts, Jeff.

Cheers,
Jeff

Re: Sched_Ule

2003-10-10 Thread Peter Kadau
Hi !

I have a Matrox G550.
No DRI or other specials.
PS/2 mouse.
No moused.
UP machine.

The mouse stutters under compilation load 
(in X).
I'll give moused a try and look whether
the behaviour is the same on the console,
but I doubt it.
I suspect this thing is rendering related.

Cheers
Peter

How many of the people experiencing SCHED_ULE related problems 
(primarily lagging) are also using nvidia-driver? I know I am, and I'm 
pretty sure Arjan is. Could there be a connection?
No, I have an ATI Radeon now.  The problem seems to appear independently 
of the video driver used.
