[I'm trolling l-k just this one time, to see what crawls out of
woodwork. --P3]
Status: The port floats, but barely. It self-compiles the kernel,
but I'm afraid to think about re-doing glibc, compilers, etc.
Modules may have problems with dots in names. No SMP yet.
List of '##' problems for 2003/02/23 follows. For most of them DaveM
outlined solutions already, somone only has to code the fixes.
## (De-)Alias
flush_user_windows is the same code as WINDOW_FLUSH, but
WINDOW_FLUSH is used on sun4m only. Make generic? Add calls to .S?
From: DaveM
WINDOW_FLUSH is a macro of assembly merely for the convenience of
the sun4m cache/tlb flushing code. Calling out to a common routine
isn't easy because we want to keep these timing critical cache/tlb
flush routines from needing to allocate a stack frame.
I suggest to put this on backburner for now.
## Get rid of fork_kpsr, fork_kwim. See comment above sparc64 sys_vfork.
## CONFIG_PREEMPT - rtrap.S
## Fix nonzero phys_base (account in page_to_phys, etc.)
## ak:
<zaitcev> Suppose, that I have a Linux box with RAM not starting at physical
address zero. Will pfn be an index into mem_map, or a (phys_addr >>
PAGE_SHIFT) ?
<freitag> zaitcev: it's normally both (at least on i386)
<freitag> mem_map mapping the hole
<freitag> if you don't want that you need CONFIG_DISCONTIG
<zaitcev> Oh
From: DaveM
Please, use sparc64 as model, it is much simpler.
Actually... looking to current {srmmu,sun4c}.c, it makes precisely
the same thing as sparc64, passing lowest pfn to
free_area_init_node().
The only missing part is fixing mem_map[] indexing to take
(phys_base >> PAGE_SHIFT) into account. Again, look to sparc64
for guidance.
## Eradicate smp_num_cpus
## Rewrite ioport.c, keep local directory of resources (indexed).
-- Make sure unaligned "reg" is forwarded from 2.4
## omit or not omit [the frame pointer], that is the question.

My precise suggestion is some CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NEED_FRAME_POINTER, bool
it to 'y' on IA64, sparc32, sparc64. In kernel/Makefile replace that
ugly CONFIG_IA64 test and comment a test on the new config option.
## copy_thread seems to have a LOT of redundancy.
From: DaveM
I don't see it, PSR_PS case is remarkably different set of operations
than !PSR_PS case.

## Remove __irq_itoa
Very sophisticated on sparc64 (irq is a pointer).
Ask DaveM to make it index into ivector_table[].
-- We now have sun4d, restore that first and compare.
From: DaveM
sun4d IRQ scheme is almost identical to sparc64 sun4u one,
in fact sun5 architecture is basically sun4d + improvements.
I am fine to make sparc64 irq into an index.
## JSFLASH bitrotted
-- Migrate to MTD
## How about getting current back to g6, and extract current_thread_info()
from the stack pointer. Be "cycle counting maniac".
From: DaveM
To be honest, if you take my advice and move most of thread stuff
into thread_info, 'current' becomes much much less important.
## Large software PMD, to make PTE a full page.
-- DONE, Document somewhere!!!
-- Make sun4c not suffer? Takes sun4/sun4c specific kernel?
<riel> zaitcev: just put 4 1kB page tables into one page at a time and fill in
4 PGD entries at once
<riel> zaitcev: so you have 4 kB sized page tables as far as Linux is concerned
<riel> zaitcev: and your set_pmd macro just fills in 4 entries at a time
<zaitcev> pmd_t is shared between sun4c and sun4m
<zaitcev> Gawd

## Get rid of srmmu_early_allocate_ptable_skeleton and __nocache_fix
Perhaps not that easy; consider what if we do large page mapping.
## Kill pg0 .. pg3. Only used on sun4c, what for?
From: DaveM
It is used to build the VMALLOC pmds/pte_tables at boot time
so that we don't need to do it later. This was needed for some
reason, but it escapes me now.
## srmmu_pte_alloc_one is a bunch of longish macros. Shorten? Profile?

add %sp, REGWIN_SZ, %o1 ! pt_regs ptr
From: DaveM
RESTORE_ALL clears l6, which makes l5 be ignored by do_signal().
This is almost identical to how sparc64 works, l6 non-zero means that
we are returning from a syscall. Zero value means we are not.

## Down with NEW_GAS
From: DaveM
Actually, the right fix is to remove the NEW_GAS altogether, every
binutils people should be using now to build kernels should be able to
grok those options and specifying them when elf32-sparc is the default
is totally harmless.

+ ld [%o0 + 0x00], %o0 /* XXX vma->vm_mm GROSS XXX */
From: DaveM
It is my comment, flush_* take vma args, but these assembler routines
need to work with mm_struct.
Some routines actually want to get at other 'vma' members (for
exmaple, tsunami_flush_cache_page).
Longer term, once conversion away from flush_page_to_ram() to
flush_dcache_page et al. interfaces occur, 'vma' arg will be even more
important to flush_cache_foo() implementation.
## flush_page_to_ram will be deprecated soon.
Easiest conversion is probably:
1) Run sed s'/flush_page_to_ram/sparc_page_to_ram/' on all sparc
sources.
2) #define flush_page_to_ram(page) do { } while (0)
3) #define flush_dcache_page(page) sparc_page_to_ram(page)
4) #define clear_user_page(addr, vaddr, page) \
do { clear_page(addr); \
sparc_page_to_ram(page); \
} while (0)
#define copy_user_page(to, from, vaddr, page) \
do { copy_page(to, from); \
sparc_page_to_ram(page); \
} while (0)
But, like I said, in longer term full conversion to sparc64'like
flush_dcache_page is nearly mandatory. I can give implementation
outline, it actually isn't much work.
-- 2003/02/01 Willy does the conversion, hurray!
## Migrate to thread_into & TI_FOO.
- ({ ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS((*(__elf_regs)), (__tsk)->thread_info->kregs); 1; })
+ ({ ELF_CORE_COPY_REGS((*(__elf_regs)), (__tsk)->thread.kregs); 1; })
But this is one of many reasons I want the sparc32 thread_info stuff
to match what sparc64 does. I wouldn't have made this trivial error
if things were consolidated.
## make image
Date: Mon, 02 Dec 2002 02:27:25 -0800 (PST)
From: "David S. Miller" <davem@redhat.com>
I really think "make image" is very non-intuitive. The problem
is that it isn't the primary build target, so I type plain "make",
get "vmlinux" and think that I'm done.
This is very error prone.
From: Keith Owens <kaos@ocs.com.au>
Date: Mon, 02 Dec 2002 21:35:22 +1100
Which is why kbuild 2.5 had a single standard build target - make
installable. It was up the .config and arch dependent rules to decide
what was required to build an installable system.
-- The problem is that top Makefile says:
# That's our default target when none is given on the command line
all: vmlinux
## davem's switch_to clobber
BTW, if ever bored a good audit for sparc32 would be to verify
all inline asm's, the two most common errors are:
1) Output constraints are wrong. In multi instruction asm's
producing some output, you almost always must use =&r
for output operands. Otherwise gcc may allocate the same
register to some input as one of the outputs, but if the
output is clobbered before all the inputs are used it will
be wrong.
2) Missing "cc" clobber when condition codes change as a result
of the asm.
-- script the thing
## Remove silly comments in system.h
From: davem
XXX prepare_arch_switch() is much smarter than this in sparc64, are we sure?
XXX Cosider if doing it the flush_user_windows way is faster (by uwinmask).
We must flush all user and kernel register windows here, it sanitizes
things so that the current register window is the only valid one
present in the cpu. This is why sparc64 makes flushw_all() instead
of flushw_user().
We are not just trying to flush user register windows here.
switch_to() depends upon the state this creates.
The "more clever" stuff in sparc64 is all about avoiding a deadlock.
If the mm switching code takes mm->page_table_lock, then you would need
to do the clever stuff sparc64 does.
Otherwise, duplicating what x86 does is the best way to go, of course
with the register window flush added. :-)
## gcc-3 (see davem's mail)
3) prepare_arch_switch() has to execute in the same stack frame
as switch_to() for it to flush the correct register windows.

## Dot in exported symbols - Rusty is stirring trouble.
Kai says - move EXPORT_SYMBOL_DOT to generic, or it will break over and over.
##
<kai> anton: The compiler cannot know that we're currently creating a module, so it'll just put a direct call to .function in the code. When that code is loaded as a module, you'll thus see an unresolved symbol .function. The generic code puts the value of the descriptor "function" in there instead, and then the arch code when doing the relocations creates a trampoline, putting the actual function address from the descriptor right into it. Sounds righ
<kai> t?
<anton> yep! :)
<anton> i wonder how ia64 handles it, it has function descriptors too
.....
<zaitcev> I'm the victim of .mul and .div
<anton> rusty has his sights on them :)
<f> what do function descriptors have to do with modules? I thought the trampolines were to be able to put modules everywhere in the virtual space, but not using 64bit jumps.
<anton> f: they do 2 things, yes they are also needed to put modules everywhere
<anton> f: but since we have a different TOC (effectively a GOT, referenced by offsets to r2) we need to load/restore it
<kai> zaitcev: I had a new EXPORT_SYMBOL_DOT() for sparc. But since we just blindly skip '.' now for ppc64, it's not necessary, the EXPORT_SYMBOL() works.
<kai> However, at least I understand why now, and I'm still not quite happy. Just skipping blindly isn't very clean IMO.
<anton> f: with rusty's patch to created shared .o files this work would be done for us
<anton> but it broke badly on mips i think, so its not happening for 2.6
<kai> anton: I think that was rth's patch. Anyway, I don't know how much that affects the generic kernel/module.c, apart from that there's nothing preventing ppc64 to add "-shared" to LDFLAGS_module.
<anton> kai: yeah I think you are right, rth did all that work

Kernel debugging (CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL) [N/y/?] (NEW) y
Debug high memory support (CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM) [N/y/?] (NEW)
scripts/Configure: Can't reopen pipe to command substitution (fd 5): No child processes
Debug memory allocations (CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB) [N/y/?] (NEW)
## 2.5 (possibly 2.4 as well - can we do I/O into unmapped pages on 2.4?)
-- page_address() returns NULL here:
static void iommu_get_scsi_sgl_gflush(struct scatterlist *sg, int sz, struct sbus_bus *sbus)
{
flush_page_for_dma(0);
while (sz != 0) {
--sz;
sg[sz].dvma_address = (__u32) (page_address(sg[sz].page) + sg[sz].offset);
sg[sz].dvma_length = (__u32) (sg[sz].length);
}
}
-- The solution is to use iommu properly.
-- See DaveM's mail -> must use all 256M range to postpone oo-iommu panics
