Hello,

in ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/,
you can get busybox source all versions.

Cheers

The ELDK documentation  at  http://www.denx.de/re/ELDK.html  explains
where you can download _all_ the ELDK sources from our CVS server.

And of course you can always get busybox directly at
ftp://ftp.lineo.com/pub/busybox/

Linux Kernel hangs after execve("/bin/sh")

[Prakash kanthi]

Hi FOlks,

I finally reached the last step (hopefully) of linux
kernel booting process. Kernel gets stuck after doing
a 'execve("/bin/sh")'. I tried using different
ramdisks, still no difference.

I added few printk's in the source, following the
function call path from 'execve' call. Following is
the output. You can see that, execve goes through
without any file permission problems and subsequently
it tries to open /lib/ld.so.1 flawlessly. After that i
see nothing on the terminal.

---------
init:Trying to bring /bin/sh up.
do_execve:enter for /bin/sh
open_exec:enter for /bin/sh.
open_exec:Permission error=0.
dentry_open:enter.
dentry_open: after file->f_op->open. 0
open_exec:enter for /lib/ld.so.1.
open_exec:Permission error=0.
dentry_open:enter.
dentry_open: after file->f_op->open. 0
do_execve: after search_binary_handler. retval=0
-----------


I wrote a small standalone program hello.c to test, if
i can dynamically load it from init() instead of
loading /bin/sh. I compiled the program added it to my
ramdisk and called from init(). Following is the
output. You can see that, it did all of it that it did
for /bin/sh and also tried to open /etc/ld.so.preload
and /etc/ld.so.cache and failed. But again towards the
end, it tries to open /lib/libc.so.6 and succeds but
still no output is displayed that hello.c is trying to
print.

---------
init:Trying to bring /bin/hello up.
do_execve:enter for /bin/hello
open_exec:enter for /bin/hello.
open_exec:Permission error=0.
dentry_open:enter.
dentry_open: after file->f_op->open. 0
open_exec:enter for /lib/ld.so.1.
open_exec:Permission error=0.
dentry_open:enter.
dentry_open: after file->f_op->open. 0
do_execve: after search_binary_handler. retval=0
sys_open:enter for /etc/ld.so.preload.
sys_open:unused_fd=3.
filp_open:enter for /etc/ld.so.preload.
filp_open:open_namei error -2.
sys_open:enter for /etc/ld.so.cache.
sys_open:unused_fd=3.
filp_open:enter for /etc/ld.so.cache.
filp_open:open_namei error -2.
sys_open:enter for /lib/libc.so.6.
sys_open:unused_fd=3.
filp_open:enter for /lib/libc.so.6.
filp_open:open_namei error 0.
dentry_open:enter.
dentry_open: after file->f_op->open. 0
-----------

Can someone please throw some light on this?

Thanks,
Prakash

Quite sometime back, I had run into similar problem. init=/bin/bash
would not work, but init=/bin/helloworld would work. Later, I realized
that the board did not have FPU, and I had to pass relevant flags to
glibc, while compilation. The same might be the case with your board.

Re: Linux Kernel hangs after execve('/bin/sh')

[Daris A Nevil]

Prakash,

Try compiling your hello.c program with the -Bstatic flag.  That will
eliminate the need to load libraries, and should show if there are other
problems.  If that works OK then we can focus on why your library loading
is failing.

Re: Linux Kernel hangs after execve('/bin/sh')

[Prakash kanthi]

Hurray .......

Daris, you suggestion seem to work. I Compiled my
hello.c with -Bstatic (size was almost 1MB), added it
to ramdisk and it works. So now the problem is
narrowed down to, being not able to work with the
shared libraries.

One point is that, i DID NOT get any errors (atleast
on the screen) while execve was loading shared
libraries in the process of executing /bin/sh. But for
sure, my problem is related to it.

I really appreciate any suggestions related to this
issue.

Thanks,
Prakash

Re: Linux Kernel hangs after execve('/bin/sh')

[Mark Pilon]

Prakash,

I had the same trouble -- in my case, a couple of different
ways.

try compiling without -Bstatic, but do 2 different trials:
compile your test
-msoft-float and -mhard-float -- if either of these works then
the libraries you've got on your ram disk are either floating
point emulation, or hardware FP, respectively.  the compile must
match the libs in terms of floating point.l

the other things to look at are which libs you've got in your
ram disk.  if you've cut it down you might have cut it down
too far.  I'm running w/ the ELDK /lib and /usr/lib w/o
anything removed.   try that until you get things working and
then you can explore which packages need what libs.

Hello Prakash,

I have had similar problem with HardHat Linux, but when
I have changed to ElinOS distribution from SYSGO corporation,
all works well. But I have find a little "HOWTO" to solve this
problem in HardHat Linux, may be it will help you a bit.
I am sorry I am not posting URL link to this document,
because I don't remember it, but I think document is not
 so large so I am attaching it. Once more, I apologize to other people
who are not interested in this problem.

                                                      By,
                                                                     Jan

Re: Linux Kernel hangs after execve("/bin/sh")

[Prakash kanthi]

Hi Jan,

Thanks for the information. But the thing is, i don't
see any error messages on my console to confirm that
the dynamic library loading is failing.

However, i think the first solution you suggested is
worth trying. Where can i get sash source code?

thanks,
Prakash

Which CPU model and revision are you using?
Which kernel version, taken from where?
Some newer CPU revs are incompatible with older kernels.
