Well, personally, I don't migrate to 2.6 not because I have many custom 
drivers in my tree (if they are properly written, migration is 
relatively easy), but because 2.6 in my opinion isn't production 
ready, at least for architectures I work with. 2.6 is slower, bigger, 
is constantly being broken by huge amount of changes, etc. I spent 
enough time making 2.4 work on our hardware given limitations and 
requirements put on performance, resources etc. I just don't have time 
to go through this cycle again. And I'm not talking about PPC stuff, I 
mean mostly generic stuff - filesystems, scheduling, networking, etc.

They aren't secret, but I can understand the simple fact that 2.4 is 
closed for a new stuff, we might not like that (although I do, just 
look at the mess "stable" 2.6 is :).

There is a point in every piece of software life-cycle when you have 
to stop adding features. 2.4 is already at this point, and we should 
accept that.

Of course we are going to have to keep our own per-board trees.
but the blatantly common stuff, like the core 405gpr support and
certain drivers, might as well go in if the gatekeeper can be
convinced. You and I both probably have huge drivers for custom
devices hanging off our PPCs, with various hacks to squeeze extra
performance out. These make our transition to 2.6 difficult, and
surely we are not alone.

So 2.4 is going to be around for a while longer for us, so we might
as well make an effort to keep the house in some sort of order. It
serves no one to keep these fixes a secret:-)

In any case, if the patches I sent are rejected, then that's that.
We'll see.

* Re-configuring busybox that comes with DENX's ELDK SELF
From: Randy Smith @ 2006-04-27 18:45 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linuxppc-embedded
In-Reply-To: <20060427180743.GB11206@gate.ebshome.net>

Hello,

I have a weird situation that I am very confused about and I was 
wondering if some kind soul would point me in the right direction?

I have a working powerpc embedded system using the 2.4 kernel built with 
DENX' ELDK and root file system from DENX' SELF.
I am trying to enable some additional applets in the busybox (well, tftp 
anyway) that came with SELF. I am using the ELDK cross toolchain on an 
x86 box to build everything and the powerpc board itself is based on an 
Icecube board. I thought I could do the following...

1. Download the source for busybox and compile it using the cross tools 
from DENX.
2. Install it in my target root file system
3. Make the jffs2 file system image and flash it into the unit under test.

When I do this, the kernel loads and boots just like before and then 
hangs after is says it is freeing unused memory. I am assuming that this 
is where it is trying to run the new init that I just installed, so 
obviously it isn't working like I planned.

Where did I go wrong?

I am thinking that I have a library mismatch/issue and that the new init 
binary can't/won't run with the runtime libraries that come with SELF, 
but I don't know how to go about correcting this if this is the case.

Opinions or urls to tutorials welcome.

Thanks,

I've been thinking about the various issues related to booting an  
arch/powerpc kernel via u-boot.   I was hoping to get some ideas/ 
comments on what people thought about the various issues/questions  
related to producing a system that can boot an arch/powerpc kernel  
for an embedded system.  I'm using u-boot as the boot loader since  
its a popular choice (I imagine the issues are similar for others):

[NOTE: dts, flat dev tree, etc are used interchangeably]

1. boot with an "old" u-boot (via bd_t):
* Have a boot wrapper that takes bd_t and dts and merges them @ runtime
* Boot wrapper has to be custom based on bd_t definition for the system
* dts owned by kernel??

2. boot with a "new" u-boot (has a .dts in it):
* capable of booting arch/powerpc kernel directly w/o modification
* in a production system don't want to update u-boot
* dts owned by u-boot??

Some questions/issues:
* ownership of .dts is problematic.  I hate having a file duplicated  
by both u-boot and kernel.  However it also seems bad to make the  
build of either depend on the user grabbing a dts from some third  
party.  Ideas?  A concrete example would be the MPC8349 ADS/SYS/MDS  
port.  Boards ship with an "old" u-boot, thus we need a kernel  
wrapper with .dts.  However, newer u-boot's can (hopefully will) have  
a dts in them

* updating of dts:  In case 1, this is trivial since its part of the  
kernel blob.  Case 2. is more difficult.  What do people think of  
treating the dts like the environment.  You have a version compiled  
in, but can alternately have a blob in another location that will be  
used if exists.  This would allow one to update the dts portion w/o  
effecting the actual boot loader.

* one solution to the copies of .dts is that we make the wrapper  
portion of the kernel the owner of the official latest and  
greatest .dts.  Every so often a maintainer can sync their .dts with  
u-boot to keep them relatively in sync.  However, the main mechanism  
would be to load the latest .dts blob into the secondary location.   
We can provide scripts/tools to do this via u-boot and linux.

comments, other issues people have thought of?

There are bigger problems with 4xx support in 2.4 mainline than just 
missing some chips support.

Some parts which are already in 2.4 (e.g. ethernet driver) are of 
non-production quality. 

I can imagine Marcelo agreeing to commit 405GPr/405EP support as this 
change shouldn't break anything, but this will not make 2.4 support 
really useful for real world deployments. I think we are stuck with 
maintaining our own 2.4 trees with backports from 2.6. This is what I 
do myself of all our products (and yeah, diff between stock 2.4.32 and 
my internal version has already grown quite big to be acceptable for 
2.4 inclusion).

What's worse; look at the stack usage on that sucker alone:

10 pointers, 6 u8, 2 u16, 2 u32, and topped off with 3 unknown-sized =20
"struct ipz_cq_handle", an unknown-sized "struct ipz_pd".  The =20
alignment alone probably chews up at least another couple bytes in =20
there somewhere too.  That's at _least_ 98 + 3*sizeof(struct =20
ipz_cq_handle) + sizeof(struct ipz_pd) on a 64-bit platform (58 + =20
3*sizeof(struct ipz_cq_handle) + sizeof(struct ipz_pd) on 32-bit).  =20
Not to mention the fact that you totally screwed the compiler's =20
chances of ever passing the important stuff in registers.  And you =20
haven't even gotten into local variables yet.

The attached patch adds the ibm405gpr support files from various
places and adds the core support to Linux 2.4. Although this diff
was done relative Marcelo's git tree, it actually touches no C files,
only a few config and make files (Plus it adds the gpr support c/h
files) so it should apply to any recent 2.4 kernel tree.

I'm almost ready with a patch that does a similar thing with
the SystemACE driver.

Can you please mind the netiquette? I. e. no HTML postings,  trimming
to line length to some 70 characters or so, etc.

Also, you should have posted on the u-boot-users list; your  question
is actually off topic here.

This should work. We used this  to  initialize  ECC  memory.  But  be
careful  about your performance expectations - ask Freescale what you
can get out of memory to memory DMA. [Sorry, I'm  still  waiting  for
replies from FSL myself.]

This question is best asked on the u-boot lists.  But the u-boot.bin  
is a straight binary file.  The contents should be placed directly  
into the location of flash that you desire.

We have tested it on x86 & x86_64 and it works fine. Not sure about powerpc.
Dave, Mohan and Mike have been doing some testing on powerpc. Guys any

Sorry if this may seem basic to some but is there anything I need to know about the format of the u-boot.bin?  I want to write a program to burn the flash on the MPC8349 via the PCI interface.  Just not sure where to get info on binary file format and if there is anything unique about the binary created from u-boot.

Would you please keep the full license in only one file? It seems to be

This shouldn't be here. The kernel project has its own versioning.

You should be able to do csb to csb devices.

Hmm. I don't see line wrap problems on
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?id=5174 . Maybe I'm just
blind.

However, /something/ went wrong with the way the patch
showed up there. Half of it ended up in the comment section
instead of the patch itself.

* do_mmap_pgoff issue...
From: Gerhard Jaeger @ 2006-04-27 13:59 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linuxppc-dev

Hi list,

while trying to mmap some flash area on my mpc8541 CDS board, 
I noticed that the overflow case is probably not correctly handled 
within function do_mmap_pgoff in linux/mm/mmap.c

The facts:
- mmap the last page @ 0xFFFFF000, len 4K
- result: mmap says EOVERFLOW...
- the function that failed was do_mmap_pgoff()

Here's the pice of code

/* offset overflow? */
if ((pgoff + (len >> PAGE_SHIFT)) < pgoff)
    return -EOVERFLOW;

It's quite clear why it fails in my case:
pgoff + (len >> PAGE_SHIFT) will be 0

I fixed that by inserting the following, to handle that special case:

if ((pgoff + (len >> PAGE_SHIFT)) < pgoff) {
    if ((pgoff + (len >> PAGE_SHIFT)) != 0 )
        return -EOVERFLOW;
}

My question is - is that behaviour a bug or a feature? In fact it's
an off-by-one issue, but I could not believe, that nobody else ever
had problems with that.

TIA for enlighten me
Gerhard

* QUICC Engine ATM driver
From: Alex Zeffertt @ 2006-04-27 14:11 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linuxppc-embedded, linux-atm-general@lists.sourceforge.net

Hi all,

Has anybody ported, or started to port, the mpc8260sar ATM driver for
the "PowerQUICC II" to the "PowerQUICC II Pro" (e.g. the MPC8360).  If
so I'd love to hear from you :)

Regards,

Alex


PS: For the record:

  PowerQUICC I contains a CPM1 which needs the mpc860sar driver
  PowerQUICC II & III contain a CPM2 which needs the mpc8260sar driver
  PowerQUICC II Pro contains a "QUICC Engine" ....

It's not in mainline, so it can be changed.
