Yeah, a device doing DMA might cause a machine check independent to your
current task. In that case we really need to take the machine down.

Sounds like you need a Maple specific machine check handler. My point is
we cant merge a fix like that because it affects every powerpc arch out
there, all with different machine check handling requirements.

Hi,
What do you mean by synchronous? Do you mean that the current process
may no be not the one that caused the ME?
In my case I _need_ the process to be killed, as it is making a VME bus
error. / PCI target-abort.
I am starting to get desperate. I have been working for several month
with IBM to get a solution on machine check related issues on the Maple.
First, the Maple was hanging hard. Now that this is fixed, I need the
Linux ME to kill the offending process!
My feeling now, is that I am really starting to have it w/ the ppc64!

I wanted to test on my PowerBook5,2. Uhfortunately i can't find no layout-id
file for the sound device or any other layout-id file for that matter:
$ find /proc/device-tree | grep -i layout
/proc/device-tree/memory@0/ram-layout-architecture
Futhermore one loading the i2sbus module it only gives some information in
dmesg once every two tries ? No errors are shown when there is no output.
Probably not very usefull, but when i get output it shows the following:
i2sbus: mapped i2s control registers
i2sbus: control register contents:
i2sbus: fcr0 = 0x0
i2sbus: cell_control = 0x0
i2sbus: fcr2 = 0xa2caec
i2sbus: fcr3 = 0x0
i2sbus: clock_control = 0x0
i2sbus control destroyed

* MPC8xx Debugging: function call vs. no function call
From: Josef Angermeier @ 2006-05-23 15:40 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linuxppc-embedded
Hello,
I am not yet pretty familiar with 8xx system programming, so maybe you
could give me some debugging hint. My C code which programs the the CPM
(USB) has to execute the following commands:
eieio();
usbregs->usb_uscom = 0x80 | 0;
mb();
If i put those instructions in an new function, the CPM behaves as
wished, elsewise it depends on the remaining code. E.g. the number of
NOP machine code instructions before make a difference:
1.)
...< remaining C function code>
__asm__("nop\n\t");
eieio();
usbregs->usb_uscom = 0x80 | 0;
mb();
... <other code>
2.)
...< remaining C function code>
__asm__("nop\n\t");
__asm__("nop\n\t");
eieio();
usbregs->usb_uscom = 0x80 | 0;
mb();
... <other code>
Every hint howto find my mistake is appreciated! Thanks
Josef

Oops, obviously that last "snd-powermac" shouldn't be there; I just
edited what FC5 had put there and I missed a spot. Maybe this will be
better:
alias snd-card-0 i2sbus
remove i2sbus { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove i2sbus
Also, the file is called modprobe.conf... :)

Not all machine checks are synchronous so we cant always do this. From
memory the ppc64 version will panic if the machine check wasnt
synchronous.

It is clear, that per-board tune-up is too specific to be kept within drivers/ and now it is accomplished in the board setup code.
Just have a look at arch/ppc/platforms/mps866ads_setup.c The thing you'll have to do is implement the pin tune-up for your board in a function, and set the callback pointer to it - it will be executed at the time UART initializes its resources.

* pmppc7448/mv64x60 DMA from PCI to memory
From: Phil Nitschke @ 2006-05-23 14:50 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linuxppc-embedded
Hi,
I'm working on a project using this processor:
http://www.artesyncp.com/products/PmPPC7448.html
on a custom VME carrier, as shown below. We're wanting to suck
large amounts of data from a PCI device which _cannot_ perform
bus-mastered DMA (it is a PCI Target only).
The Marvell Chip used by the PmPPC7448 is this one:
http://www.marvell.com/products/communication/Discovery%20MV64460%
20FINAL.pdf
I've written a collection of simple routines to program the Marvell IDMA
controller, for example:
mv64x6x_init_dma_channel();
mv64x6x_set_dma_mode();
mv64x6x_set_src_addr();
mv64x6x_set_dst_addr();
mv64x6x_set_dma_count();
mv64x6x_enable_dma();
or rather more simply:
mv64x6x_memcpy_dma(dst_handle, src_handle, size);
This works OK for copying from a memory to memory, where the buffers are
allocated using:
src = dma_alloc_noncoherent(NULL, BUF_SZ, &src_handle, GFP_KERNEL);
The src_handle is passed directly to mv64x6x_set_src_addr();
But when the src address is the FIFO on the PCI bus, I don't know how to
get the IDMA controller to play nicely. The FIFO sits in the middle of
the PCI device's I/O mem range 0x9fe00000 - 0x9fffffff. I've programmed
and enabled a 5th address window in the IDMA controller which
encompasses the 0x200000 bytes of the PCI memory range, and I'm not
seeing any address violation or address miss errors. The PCI->memory
DMA "completes" without any traffic every touching the PCI bus, so
obviously I need to do something else/differently.
For this scenario, can anyone tell me:
* Should I be using the same src address as that reported via
the 'lspci' command - this _is_ the PCI bus address, isn't it?
* Do I have to do anything special to tell the IDMA controller
to source data from the PCI bus and shift it into memory?
* Looking through mv64x60.c in the 2.6.16 kernel, I note that 4
of the 8 possible IDMA address windows are configured (for each
of the 512 MB DRAM on our processor card). Do I need to add
tests to my source and destination regions, to determine if they
cross one of the 512 MB regions, and hence will require a
different CSx line (and thus the DMA will need to be broken into
two transactions), or does kernel already take care to ensure
allocated regions will not cross these boundaries?
TIA for any help that anyone can offer.

Yeah, I'm not sure how I was supposed to know that i2sbus was the magic

Yes, it looks like snd-powermac was loading as well, thanks to

Could you also add a sample modules.conf? For example, users should be
told to remove snd-powermac. Here's what I have ATM, on an FC5 system:
alias snd-card-0 i2sbus
remove snd-card-0 { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1

The above mmap call worked for 2.4.30, but for 2.6.16 I needed to change

into the linux kernel by myself, right? I am sorry that I am a novice in
linux field and I cannot understand you very well. Could you please give me
more guidance on what shall I do to port the driver, in detail? Do you have
some reference documents for me to do this?
I really appreciate a lot for your kindly help on my work. Thank you so
much.

* [PATCH] force 64bit mode in system_reset_fwnmi for broken POWER4 firmware

The reason is that system_reset_fwnmi is called in 32bit mode. Forcing
64bit mode fixes the corrupt NIP for me. JS20 and p690 are affected,
seems to work on p550 and JS21.
According to this change for EXCEPTION_PROLOG_COMMON, I get still into
decremeter_common, but its not fatal anymore because the cpu is now in
64bit mode and the stack is forced to PACAKSAVE(r13).

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but AFAIK non of the public trees
have a driver for the TEMAC. Xilinx EDK 8.1 does include drivers for
the TEMAC and it *should* generate a working BSP for MontaVista Linux
3.1 (patched 2.4 kernel). It should also work with the linuxppc-2.4
tree.
If you want it on a 2.6, you'll need to port the driver. Regardless,
the Xilinx driver code is NOT GPL'd, so beware.

Both Linux 2.4 and 2.6 are usable. You've got some work to do to port
the driver in either case.

The TEMAC and EMAC are totally different devices, and I haven't looked
to see if TEMAC driver uses the same API, but it is probably a good
starting point.

* Problem mapping GPIO regs on ppc440gx
From: Travis B. Sawyer @ 2006-05-23 12:48 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linuxppc-embedded
Greetings:
We've been using a 2.4.30 kernel (with numerous patches) on a AMCC 440gx
custom built board for quite some time now.
We're building some new hardware that forces us to go to a 2.6 kernel.
So, I've downloaded 2.6.16.16 from kernel.org and am porting everything
forward from our 2.4.30 kernel.
The problem lies in mapping the GPIO regs of the 440 to user space using
/dev/mem:
gpio_fd = open("/dev/mem", O_RDWR | O_SYNC);
if (0 > gpio_fd) {
perror("mbGpioGet(): Unable to open gpio");
return(-1);
}
addr = (ppc440_gpio_regs_t *)mmap(0, getpagesize() * 2,
PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED, gpio_fd,
(off_t)(0x40000000));
if (MAP_FAILED == addr) {
perror("mbGpioGet(): map error");
close(gpio_fd);
return(-1);
}
pGpioRegs = (ppc440_gpio_regs_t *)((uint32_t)addr + 0x700);
data = pGpioRegs->in & (MB_GPIO_PRI_N_K | MB_GPIO_SEC_PRES_K);
munmap(0, sizeof(ppc440_gpio_regs_t));
close(gpio_fd);
The data I get back is 0. Always. /SEC_PRES_K should be 1 in this case.
(gdb) print /x addr
$7 = 0x30015000
(gdb) print /x pGpioRegs
$8 = 0x30015700
Checking /proc/<PID>/map shows the mapping:
30015000-30019000 rw-p 30015000 00:00 0
On a board running the 2.4.30 kernel, I show the SAME entry in
/proc/<PID>/map
but I do get data back.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?
TIA,
Travis Sawyer

Odd. i2sbus should pull in all other required modules, and should itself
load automatically at boot due to having a modalias that matches the
of:... modalias the mac-io bus device for the i2s stuff has.

Uh. That one I need to check, there is no tas codec on your machine.

That looks like you have snd-powermac loaded too. Or not? I don't think

Most of this is due to that device-tree bug on those machines.

Note that the patch is mine :)
But also note that this isn't the reason that there are two layout-id
properties, there really *are* two sound nodes with layout-id property
because there are two i2s busses for the two codecs.

Yes, it should. I think the bug is that the tas module thinks it can
attach a codec here. Can you try *not* loading that module and see if it
works better then? I'll try to see if I can make the tas module not
attach on those machines, but as long as you don't load it manually all
should be fine.

Sorry. I linked it up on http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/Projects/ and
will add a few more details later.

* [PATCH] make ams work with latest kernels
From: Johannes Berg @ 2006-05-23 11:32 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: Stelian Pop; +Cc: linuxppc-dev list, Linux Kernel list
For those who don't know: ams, written by Stelian Pop, is a driver for
the motion sensor present in some PowerBooks (the series the
PowerBook5,6 falls into, later ones have a slightly different one the
driver doesn't handle).
Even though we still don't seem to have a client that can actually use
this data (something to actually tell the hd to protect itself) I
updated the ams code to compile against the latest linux kernel
versions. I also fixed a buglet (the interrupt handler should return
IRQ_HANDLED even if the init flag isn't set yet since we own the
interrupts, they can't be shared).
Stelian and all, how about adding this driver to linux? hdaps seems to
be there even if it too doesn't serve a useful purpose at this time.

* UART DRIVER on 2.6.15
From: Ladislav Klenovič @ 2006-05-23 12:02 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linuxppc-embedded
Hi,
just a simple question, is uart driver for kernel 2=2E6=2E15 complete=2E=
=20
There are some parts like:
void scc1_lineif(struct uart_cpm_port *pinfo)
{
/* XXX SCC1: insert port configuration here */
pinfo->brg =3D 1;
}
=2E=2E=2E=2E
that seems to incomplete=2E Am I able to do something with SCC1 with th=
e current cpm_uart code?
Maybe stupid question, is there any way (is it possible) to import old =
uart driver from kernel 2=2E4=2Ex to kernel 2=2E6=2Ex
Regards,
Ladislav Klenovic

Did you read http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/RootFileSystemInAReadOnlyFile ???

No need to waste memory on a (big) ramdisk.

cramfs makes no sense on a ramdisk image. Use ext2.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In
practice, however, there is.
