[opensuse-ppc] Thank you very much indeed for openSUSE 12.2

by Christian Zigotzky

Hi list, Thank you very much indeed for openSUSE 12.2 PowerPC. It runs very well on my Power Mac G5 2003, 2.0GHz, 4 GB RAM, ATi Radeon 9600 128 MB with sound and X11 support. Unfortunately Firefox doesn't work. I use the Firefox by ppcnux.de. Are there any updates available for openSUSE 12.2 PowerPC e.g. Firefox 16?

[opensuse-ppc] Factory CD boot problem

by Andreas Färber

Hello, Since a number of weeks I am unsuccessful in using the ppc64 install media on my POWER5+ box. Below is output from latest openSUSE-NET64-ppc64-Build0023-Media.iso. In qemu-system-ppc64 it proceeds okay, and Factory boots okay (below). The only difference is me entering SMS menu to select booting from IDE CD. I notice that the booting system loads an Elf64 kernel while the ppc64 iso loads an Elf32 kernel. Any ideas? Thanks, Andreas CD: yaboot starting: loaded at 00040000 00065a88 (0/0/02039a68; sp: 02cbffd0) Config file 'yaboot.cnf' read, 285 bytes Welcome to openSuSE Factory!

Actually there is no timeframe. It is not an official BalaBit plan, at least not an official company goal. On the other hand many of my colleagues support the idea and find it very interesting. Zorp is often running now on huge x86 servers, and many of us think, that QorIQ would do the same job at a fraction of the size or energy requirements.

Personally I did Linux distro QA for a couple of PowerPC machines for about five years (I must admit, that I did boot my Pegasos2 this year only once...). This included creating installers, reporting bugs, asking for features to make life of distro users easier. I did it mostly for openSUSE and Ubuntu, sometimes other distributions. My other interests are different IDS softwares, like Bro, Suricata, etc. Bye, CzP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] servergy

by Peter Czanik

Hello, Does anybody know Servergy? It's a US company producing Freescale QorIQ based machines, and they even have an openSUSE logo at a couple of places on their website. For example http://www.servergy.com/p-cubed/ My problem is, that they don't seem to respond to anything. Do you know anything about this company or have access to one of their machines? The Cleantech server is just what the doctor prescribed me :-) Bye, CzP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] Drop ppc32 from Factory

by Dinar Valeev

We have more and more devel projects which have Factory:PowerPC build targets enabled. Is there anybody who uses 32bit, can we drop it to save build power?

[opensuse-ppc] Offering help / Testing builds

by manni86＠gmx.net

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a way to help you building openSUSE for PowerPC. I have an iMac G5/2.1GHz 20-Inch 2.5GB-RAM (iSight) which is waiting for a task. On the website you wrote that you are "actively looking for people to test" your builds. (http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:PowerPC) So if you have any test iso images, or builds then please let me know how I may help you out in testing. I'm not very skilled in programming, so actual software development is not a task for me, but I can do some tests. I did already some testing with MintPPC/Debian, especially regarding some problems with 3D hardware acceleration under PPC. I explained some of the problems which I did run into in the forum of MintPPC (http://www.mintppc.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1281). I also already tried openSUSE in past, but just for a very short time and I can't remember the outcome of my last tests anymore, I just tried too much back then. However, since MintPPC won't see any further development from it's original developer, I would like now to switch to openSUSE and help you out if I can. So if you have any test iso, or something that I might be able to help you with, please let me know. I wish you all a nice day. -Manuel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] Fwd: glibc segfault analysis

by Alexander Graf

Hey guys, I've tried to run openSUSE 12.3 on a Freescale e5500 system and it immediately segfaults on every binary. Turns out the root cause is that glibc is configured to power4 compatibility which hardcodes the cache line size to 128 bytes while e5500 has a 64 byte cache line size. There are 2 things I think we should do here: - compile the non-target-optimized glibc without --with-cpu=power4. We already have accelerated versions for power5 and above, so I don't think it's necessary to optimize the base variant for anything but a generic target - fix glibc to work on non-128byte cache line size even when --with-cpu=power4 is specified. I doubt there really is any non-negligible performance difference for the memset() case where dcbz gets used. But if there is, why don't we just binary patch the cache line size into memset()'s li instruction and always be fast?

Edmar, you probably know of this already (and maybe it is also the same reason as the other email thread from Peter's problem from last year). > > It boils down to the powerpc64 memset in glibc in the libc-2.17.so is one of the powerX versions rather than the generic powerpc64 one. The powerX versions, such as power4, hard code a 128 byte cache line size without reading the global variable that is set up to tell you what the cache line size is, even though that variable is set up for 64 bytes (which is what it is on e5500/e6500).

The leaf function that causes the segfault, __new_exitfn() in stdlib/cxa_atexit.c, walks over a linked list of destructor functions to register them. The initial list is supposed to be empty, and it is declared in the same file as " static struct exit_function_list initial;", i.e. allocated in bss, which the memset code is supposed to clear but actually doesn't. The first element of the initial list happens to have a non-zero next pointer value of 8, which it then tries to fetch the next element of the list from, resulting in the segfault. > > struct exit_function * > __new_exitfn (struct exit_function_list **listp) { > struct exit_function_list *p = NULL; > struct exit_function_list *l; > struct exit_function *r = NULL; > size_t i = 0; > > __libc_lock_lock (lock); > > for (l = *listp; l != NULL; p = l, l = l->next) > { > for (i = l->idx; i > 0; --i) > if (l->fns[i - 1].flavor != ef_free) > break; > > if (i > 0) > break; > > /* This block is completely unused. */ > l->idx = 0; > } > // ... > > 0000000b 00000003 0000001c 00000fff b7fd7490 // Operand r28 holds 0x00000fffb7fd7490 > 00000fffb7fd7490 135663 <00000fffb7e76e90-EBBC0000> * ld r29,0(r28) // l = *listp > 0000000b 00000003 0000001d 00000fff b7fe9e60 // Operand r29 holds 0x00000fffb7fe9e60 > 135664 <00000fffb7e76e94-2FBD0000> * cmpdi cr7,r29,0x0000 // l != NULL? > 0000001c 00000001 22000424 // Operand CR holds 0x22000424 > 00000fffb7e76e9c 135665 <00000fffb7e76e98-419E0154> * beq- cr7,0x0154 > 0000000b 00000003 0000001d 00000fff b7fe9e60 // Operand r29 holds 0x00000fffb7fe9e60 > 0000000b 00000003 0000001d 00000fff b7fe9e60 // Operand r29 holds 0x00000fffb7fe9e60 > 135666 <00000fffb7e76e9c-7FA6EB78> * or r6,r29,r29 // l = *listp copy > 135667 <00000fffb7e76ea0-38600000> * addi r3,r0,0x0000 > 135668 <00000fffb7e76ea4-38800000> * addi r4,r0,0x0000 > 0000000b 00000003 00000000 00000fff b7e7708c // Operand r0 holds 0x00000fffb7e7708c > 135669 <00000fffb7e76ea8-60000000> * ori r0,r0,0x0000 > 0000000b 00000003 00000000 00000fff b7e7708c // Operand r0 holds 0x00000fffb7e7708c > 135670 <00000fffb7e76eac-60000000> * ori r0,r0,0x0000 > 0000000b 00000003 00000006 00000fff b7fe9e60 // Operand r6 holds 0x00000fffb7fe9e60 > 00000fffb7fe9e68 135671 <00000fffb7e76eb0-E8E60008> * ld r7,8(r6) // i = l->idx > 0000000b 00000003 00000007 00000000 00000000 // Operand r7 holds 000000000000000000 > 135672 <00000fffb7e76eb4-2FA70000> * cmpdi cr7,r7,0x0000 // i > 0 ? > 0000001c 00000001 22000422 // Operand CR holds 0x22000422 > 00000fffb7e76f0c ! 135673 <00000fffb7e76eb8-419E0054> * beq- cr7,0x0054 > 0000000b 00000003 00000006 00000fff b7fe9e60 // Operand r6 holds 0x00000fffb7fe9e60 > 00000fffb7fe9e60 135674 <00000fffb7e76f0c-E9260000> * ld r9,0(r6) // temp_l = l->next > 0000000b 00000003 00000004 00000000 00000000 // Operand r4 holds 000000000000000000 > 0000000b 00000003 00000006 00000fff b7fe9e60 // Operand r6 holds 0x00000fffb7fe9e60 > 00000fffb7fe9e68 135675 <00000fffb7e76f10-F8860008> * std r4,8(r6) // l->idx = 0 > 0000000b 00000003 00000006 00000fff b7fe9e60 // Operand r6 holds 0x00000fffb7fe9e60 > 0000000b 00000003 00000006 00000fff b7fe9e60 // Operand r6 holds 0x00000fffb7fe9e60 > 135676 <00000fffb7e76f14-7CC33378> * or r3,r6,r6 > 0000000b 00000003 00000009 00000000 00000008 // Operand r9 holds 000000000000000008 // XXX: temp_l address is 8 > 135677 <00000fffb7e76f18-2FA90000> * cmpdi cr7,r9,0x0000 > 0000001c 00000001 22000424 // Operand CR holds 0x22000424 > 00000fffb7e76f20 135678 <00000fffb7e76f1c-419E009C> * beq- cr7,0x009c > 0000000b 00000003 00000009 00000000 00000008 // Operand r9 holds 000000000000000008 > 0000000b 00000003 00000009 00000000 00000008 // Operand r9 holds 000000000000000008 > 135679 <00000fffb7e76f20-7D264B78> * or r6,r9,r9 > 00000fffb7e76eb0 ! 135680 <00000fffb7e76f24-4BFFFF8C> * b 0xffffff8c > 0000000b 00000003 00000006 00000000 00000008 // Operand r6 holds 000000000000000008 > 0000000000000010 135681 <00000fffb7e76eb0-E8E60008> * ld r7,8(r6) // XXX: *temp_l causes segfault > > > So, yeah, I doubt SUSE necessarily say they support P5020 or really any powerpc that has 64-byte dcbz, but wouldn't it be nice if glibc had a way of indicating that the detected cache line size doesn't match what it has been tuned for? > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-ppc] yaboot package rework and installation media

by Dinar Valeev

Hi, recently dropped inst{32,64} generation. Now only initrd and kernel are available to boot. Looking at yaboot (lilo) package it still requires gcc-32bit runtime dependency. Looked briefly through the code it seems only boot from iSCSI needs it. maybe embedding yaboot.conf into a binary. Once it will be reworked, finally yaboot will not require gcc-32bit. JFYI Have fun, Dinar -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-ppc+owner(a)opensuse.org
