I just committed the changes to embed real-mode code in a separate
executable inside vmlinux. It should cause no functional changes
in theory. Read all about it in arch/parisc/real/README and
ee.html. If you have terrible new problems,
I've attached a list of CVS commands to check out the files before I
started hacking on them. I haven't seen a shell prompt from this
set of hacks so beware...

prumpf- I moved kernel_thread and friends from
real/<something> to kernel/head.S I also re-enabled BTLB in
real/setup.c so I could get further in the boot. Left some
debugging printks in the handle_real_interrupt handler too.

Bad failures occur (for me) with the hpux boot loader. I have no
idea whether I introduced them, but I might have. It looks
like the first instruction of vmlinux doesn't even get executed,
so probably something in the SOM header is telling the hpux boot loader to
do something stupid. som_relocate may need an upgrade, but I'm
stumped about what's going wrong.

After a day of hacking, I was finally able to link the kernel successfully.
It booted through to the end of realmode_setup. Probably, further work is
needed on the TLB handler. I wonder if calls between real and virt, and
visa versa are working. No change to som_relocate was necessary.
There is one problem. I now have to turn off the system power to get the
system to reboot. Formerly, I could just press the TOC button.
It also looks like the "real_" defines and protos can be eliminated.

That happens pretty frequently to me but I've not tracked down why
it happens. Did you try holding the TOC button in for several seconds?
On some workstations I've been told that generates a hard reset.

As I merge in your changes I'll look into that.

TOC results in (providing that the checksum passes) transfer of control
to a routine pointed at from page 0. If something is trashing that, and
the checksum'ed length is set to 0, then you'll branch off into the ozone.
If the checksum fails, then you get the PDC default of rebooting.
Don't know if that's your problem, but it's probably worth checking into
whether something is trashing physical address 8 (TOC vector - 0xc is the
length of the checksum.)

I believe that I have located the cause of the problem. The real mode
code in the kernel startup used the stack pointer passed from the system
loader. The initial stack pointer passed by the hpux loader is 0.
This caused some items in PAGE0 to be trashed, although it is not clear
that the TOC vector itself was being trashed.

I read ee.html this evening. Having already tracked down one problem
where the real-mode code went off into never-never land when I tried to
print out a string, I agree that separate comilation, linking and conversion
is a good idea. The size of real-mode code is limited with our current
scheme. Thus, we may reach the point where it is impossible to link
all real-mode code.
Regarding your example, the problem is that a function address is a PLABEL.
PLABELs are stored in the text space. I think the problem can be avoided
if the function address is put into a structure which is stored in the
data space.

Hello Paul,
thanks for the quick answer. I am sorry but I did not
understand what I see in System.map:
excerpt 1 for System.Map:
c0049f90 t $CODE$
c0049f90 t put_unused_buffer_head
c0049fd8 t L$1856
c004a004 t L$1854
c004a018 t $CODE$
c004a018 t get_unused_buffer_head
c004a110 t $CODE$
c004a110 t create_buffers
c004a320 t $CODE$
c004a320 t end_buffer_io_async
So I thought 0xc004a078 is in get_unused_buffer_head
which is in fs/buffer.c.
excerpt 2 from System.map:
c0111f14 D blkdev_inode_operations
c0111f64 D def_chr_fops
c0111fa0 D chrdev_inode_operations
c0111ff0 d L$C0008
c0111ffc d L$C0009
c011200c d L$C0010
c0112018 d L$C0011
c0112028 d L$C0012
c0112038 D nr_files
c0112038 d lock___76
So 0xc0112000 points into the data segment(?) as a
return address for that subroutine.
Unfortunately I have no anonymous ftp server here at
work, where I can put the kernel for you. And
puffin.external.hp.com has no Incoming directory...
So is it ok to send Image + System.map as a
tar.gz-file via mail to you?
If this problem is not of general interest and other
big changes will happen soon (maybe the 2.3 merge)
where the problem might go away, it is ok that you
simply say "wait for that to happen" to me.
Regards
Ulrich

I think the bug you are seeing is due to the inline definition for
xchg in asm/system.h. The problem occurs in exchanges with 0 when
the address used in the ldcws instruction is not aligned on a 16 byte
boundary. Change the define for xchg to just use the spinlock method
in all cases.
The other option is to align all the addresses that are used in xchg's
with 0.

Ulrich,
I apologize for suggesting you consider the
r1 value 0xc0112000 by mistake, I meant the r2 value 0xc004a170.

See my mail to the list on Nov. 30, "Re: [parisc-linux] Progress - Update". xchg has clobbered unused_list.
