[uml-devel] Can't compile under vanilla 2.6.11

[uml-devel] Can't compile under vanilla 2.6.11

[Ian McDonald]

Hi there,

I've been watching the discussion around 2.6.11 and reading the
archives and I can't find the information with any clarity that I
need. My problem is that I can't get UML to compile. I can on 2.4.27
(with the standard patches) and with 2.6.10 also.

My environment is Debian Woody with 2.4.27 kernel. My gcc version is
2.95.4. I am using default options when I do 'make menu_config
ARCH=um'

Here is the error that I am experiencing once I do 'make linux ARCH=um':
arch/um/kernel/sys_call_table.c:277: duplicate array index in initializer
arch/um/kernel/sys_call_table.c:277: (near initialization for `sys_call_table')
arch/um/kernel/sys_call_table.c:277: duplicate array index in initializer
arch/um/kernel/sys_call_table.c:277: (near initialization for `sys_call_table')

The code at line 277 is:
       ARCH_SYSCALLS
       [ LAST_SYSCALL + 1 ... NR_syscalls ] =
               (syscall_handler_t *) sys_ni_syscall

I don't quite understand this as it surpasses my C knowledge but if I
do a dirty hack and change this to:

       [ LAST_SYSCALL + 1 ... NR_syscalls ] =
               (syscall_handler_t *) sys_ni_syscall

i.e. remove ARCH_SYSCALS it compiles.

However when it goes to finish off and link I then get this error message
arch/um/kernel/built-in.o: In function `do_buffer_op':
arch/um/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0xcf4a): undefined reference to `va_copy'
arch/um/kernel/built-in.o(.data+0x1570): undefined reference to `sys_vserver'

and I don't have a linux kernel.

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Regards,

Ian

All I have to do, on x86 under either Knoppix or Red Hat, is (this is off the 
top of my head, so there might be a typo or two):

tar xvjf linux-2.6.11.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.11
# Get a usable .config file, you can use "make ARCH=um menuconfig" for this
# if you know what to select.  This adds a more or less minimal set of options 
# to allnoconfig to provide a usable test system.  Later, you'll want to add
# thinks like loopback support, UBD, ext2, maybe swap support...
make ARCH=um allnoconfig
cat >> .config << EOF
CONFIG_MODE_TT=y
CONFIG_LD_SCRIPT_STATIC=y
CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y
CONFIG_HOSTFS=y
CONFIG_STDERR_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_LBD=y
CONFIG_PROC_FS=y
EOF
yes "" | make ARCH=um oldconfig
# Now build it.
make ARCH=um
# Run it.  Later you might want to add "rootflags" (defaults to rootflags=/)
# and "mem" (defaults to mem=32M).  "quiet" is nice too...
./linux rootfstype=hostfs rw init=/bin/sh
# Show that the new shell prompt is under UML, not the parent system.
mount -t proc /proc /proc
cat /proc/cpuinfo

The polite way to exit is either "shutdown -n" or "halt -f" (both in sbin, 
which isn't int he path), but when pid 1 is /bin/sh then just "exit" will 
work as well if you don't mind a UML panic message about "tried to kill 
init"...

Speaking of path: the default UML path ends with ".", and if you try to 
compile anything this triggers some "holier than thou" code in gcc that 
ignores the entire path without even a warning message because it thinks it 
knows better than you, and thus doesn't find the linker.  Just set your PATH 
to "/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin" and it should work fine.  (Why this isn't 
the default, I have no idea...)

There's no underscore in menuconfig.

I remember a problem like that in one of the 2.6.11-pre releases, but it was 
fixed in the final 2.6.11.  What compiler version are you using?

Yeah, I did too.  It was fixed before the 2.6.11 release.  Are you sure you're 
building 2.6.11 sources?

You're sure you're using linux-2.6.11.tar.bz2 on x86?

Re: [uml-devel] Can't compile under vanilla 2.6.11

[Ian McDonald]

I was doing all that you said here and without the typo for menuconfig
that I put in...

I am running x86 and gcc 2.95.4 - I am suspecting the gcc may be an
issue but maybe I should also pull down the kernel from another mirror
in case my mirror is not good that I am using...

ARCH_SYSCALLS is defined in  arch/um/include/sysdep-i386/syscalls.h by the 
way...

In case you wanted to try to find which syscall was going "boing" for you...

grep is your friend. :)

Ah, nevermind.  Check out Anton's message.  You were using a -bk snapshot 
rather than the officially 2.6.11 release, I take it?

[uml-devel] Running JDK1.5 Maxes Out CPU

[Peter]

Hi.

JDK1.4 runs well on UML guests.

JDK1.5 does not appear to run well on the UML guests.  After the process 
runs for a bit it ends up sitting at 100% CPU.

I have had problems on 2.4 kernels up to 2.6.9 guest kernels.  I have 
reproduced the problem on different guest distros (Debian, FC, and 
WBEL3).  And the problem has been reported by other users on the mailing 
list here.

I do not see this problem on non-UML servers.

I am not sure what could be going on.  But it seems possible that the 
Java 1.5 VM is hitting some issue with the UML guest kernel.

To reproduce the problem (preferably on a Debian or FC/RHEL based 
distro) download this:
http://downloads.rimuhosting.com/installjava.sh

Comment out the 1.4.2 file/dir at the top.  Uncomment the 1.5 file/dir 
variables

Run that script (it will install the 1.5 JDK).

Download and run http://downloads.rimuhosting.com/installtomcat5.sh

It will install tomcat5.5.7 under /usr/local/tomcat.  Add a tomcat user. 
  And an /etc/init.d/tomcat stop/start/kill script.

Start tomcat with /etc/init.d/tomcat start

Run ab (ab is part of apache) like this:

ab -c 10 -n 10000 
http://localhost:8080/jsp-examples/jsp2/tagfiles/products.jsp

Eventually the Java process will max out the CPU.  Usually after 
200-2000 requests.

"jstack $parentjavapid" will show the Java code that is executing.  Not 
that helpful.

strace on the java pids don't seem to show/help much.

Your help reproducing and resolving this problem would be greatly 
appreciated.

Regards, Peter

BUG with proposed fix Re: [uml-devel] Can't compile under vanilla 2.6.11

[Ian McDonald]

OK after much further investigation, redownloading of source
(2.6.11.4) and looking at what you have said I know why it is
breaking....

I had assumed (wrongly of course) that ARCH_SYSCALLS was a one line
symbol definition but it is much more than this.

The problem occurs because in both
arch/um/include/sysdep-i386/syscalls.h and in
arch/um/kernel/sys_call_table.c a number of the elements are defined
in BOTH files.

I presume the reason why this doesn't break others systems is that
they are not using the same version of gcc as me (2.95.4). I would
guess that with a later gcc in an enum you can redefine an element and
it doesn't complain...

Anyway I believe the proper fix is to delete the lines from
arch/um/kernel/sys_call_table.c and here is a patch to do that:

255d254
< 	[ __NR_statfs64 ] = (syscall_handler_t *) sys_statfs64,
258,260d256
< 	[ __NR_utimes ] = (syscall_handler_t *) sys_utimes,
< 	[ __NR_fadvise64_64 ] = (syscall_handler_t *) sys_fadvise64_64,
< 	[ __NR_vserver ] = (syscall_handler_t *) sys_vserver,

Can somebody verify that and if correct submit to whoever (this is my
first ever attempt at fixing something in the kernel so not quite sure
what to do next!!)

Regards,

Ian

PS still have some linking issues and I will report on them as I work
out why....

[uml-devel] 2.4 do_mmap_pgoff compile problem

[Peter]

linux-2.4.27.tar.bz2 + uml-2.4.27-bs2-pre6.patch.bz2 patches with no 
error.  But I get the error below compile.  It seems like the UML code 
is passing in a mm as the first arg and the only definitions of 
`do_mmap_pgoff' I can find start with a file arg and have no mm.  I 
dropped the mm arg in the code, and it then compiles OK.  But segfaults 
immediately on use.  I'm not sure if that is caused by my code change or 
not.

BTW: what is the current recommendation for a 'stable' 2.4 UML guest kernel?

Re: BUG with proposed fix Re: [uml-devel] Can't compile under vanilla 2.6.11

[Ian McDonald]

The other problem with not linking va_copy has been resolved by
changing to __va_copy in skas/uaccess.c. This seems to be a known
problem with older compilers and there is a patch out there but not in
2.6.11 or by the looks of it 2.6.12 rc1 by my reading of the log (nor
for one for my previous e-mail)

No, your code change is correct... in fact is what I have in my local tree. 
The only problem I recall is with GCC 3.3.2 from Mandrake 10.0, which 
miscompiles any UML/2.4 (but not UML/2.6). I've never found out why.

Hmm, I *have* to release the -bs2 sooner or later... the hostfs support is 
surely better in -bs1, for the rest 2.4.27-um1 is slightly better

Ok, I'm taking that patch and merging it in my tree and in 2.6.12. I hope it 
can go also in 2.6.11.6 (or .7, whatever).

Here is an update:
2.6.12-rc2 has both va_copy patch and syscall patch and works for me
once a patch is applied to arch/um/kernel/Makefile for some sed syntax
2.6.11.7 has va_copy patch only and works for me once I apply the
syscall patch that I started and Paolo made much better.

Environment is Debian Woody, gcc 2.95.4, sed 3.02

Thanks again for all involved in helping me to this state.

I've sent it for merging, and I hope it will be in .8.

I'll put these changes also in the -bs tree. Actually, -bs1 should work for 
you because has the syscall and va_copy changes; -bb2 does not work because I 
merged the sed usage which bites you.

I'll now merge the sed fix for -bs3.
