Description

I plugged a VPN311 card on my Sun Ultra 60 2x. An ran a kernel 2.6.16 with the latest mad_wifi (rev. 1484) yesterday. It resulted in a ooops at the modules insertion. Here is the dmesg output:

Can you please describe the exact steps that led to this oops? Is it fully reproducible, or did/does it happen spontaneously?

03/24/06 11:26:17 changed by anonymous

As shown by the dmesg, the oops occured at startup when discovering the hardware and inserting the corresponding driver.

I just rebooted the machine to 2.6.16 and got the ooops while starting up.

04/07/06 12:53:20 changed by seb@frankengul.org

Tried svn r1497 on a kernel 2.6.16.1-smp-sparc64. I booted the kernel a did a modprobe ath_pci after a clean install.

Same problem, instant oops but does not kills the machine. ath_pci is now unremovable from the kernel.

Here is the dump.

Can you see if the latest patch will help from this ticket http://madwifi.org/ticket/472

04/07/06 17:39:29 changed by seb@frankengul.org

Hum, I will try. I suspect that ooops at kernel insertion is not related to locking.

I'll see. Stay tuned.

04/08/06 22:52:39 changed by seb@frankengul.org

Unfortunately, I was right, same problem same oopps in the hal with the patch applied.

So, It does not heal anything.

Is that driver really supported on the sparc64 architecture.

04/08/06 23:08:59 changed by seb@frankengul.org

hal.o was compiled with gcc-3.3.2 The driver and kernel was compiled with gcc 4.0.3

Is this a possible explanation for the problem ?

  • milestone changed from version 0.9.0 - move to new codebase to version 0.9.x - progressive release candidate phase.

Could well be, hard to say what any problem is with such a blob.

05/09/06 16:46:42 changed by seb@frankengul.org

Sorry but this is a normal ooops from the kernel. Feel free to improve it... :)

Anyway, I got a reply from Sam saying basicaly that the ath_hal.o for sparc64 is nuked due to a bad toolchain. It handles g2 and g3 in a bad way that leads to the crash observed.

The next ath_hal.o should be ok.

I got some link to the bleeding edge madwifi hal.o driver. But still no luck. The two provided (ath_hal-20060425.tgz and ath_hal-20060506.tgz) stil dies in the same way as the 0.9.16.16 from the madwifi svn. I wonder if the gcc used (4.0) is really suitable with the object file (3.3). In the x86 context it is not. In the sparc64, I don't know.

05/27/06 07:29:59 changed by proski

I believe any C code is compiled to the standard ABI by any gcc. The may be corner cases (bitfiled alignment or something) and version specific optimizations in Linux kernel headers, which is why mismatching gcc version prevents module loading. But I think the HAL interface was specifically made minimal and simple to avoid such corner cases.

I suggest trying the current version, which uses the latest HAL. If it doesn't work, please edit ah_osdep.h and replace CONFIG_REGPARM with CONFIG_SPARC64 to enable regparm(0) attribute.

06/14/06 07:31:07 changed by proski

Please ignore what I wrote above.

The kernel forbids the compiler to use registers %g4 and %g5. They are only used in assembly code for special purposes. If I understand correctly, %g5 holds tsk->mm->context, which is referred to by the kernel message. Unfortunately, HAL uses both %g4 and %g5 for its internal needs. This must be the real problem.

The cleanest fix would be to recompile HAL with -ffixed-g4 and -ffixed-g5 (options fixing %g2 and %g3 are fine if they are needed by other OSes).

Perhaps HAL could be patched to use %g2 and %g3 instead of %g4 and %g5, but this would make Sam _very_ angry.

HAL could also be wrapped to save %g4 and %g5 by callers and restore it by callees, but it would require some coding and it could be unreliable, especially if preemption is enabled.

Still no luck with last version (r1757). No more ooops but a gradual freeze of the machine. Only way out switch off and on.

How can one fixes this calling convention (hal compiled with fixed-g2 fixed-g3 whereas kernel is compiled with fixed-g4 fixed-g7 and call-g7 ?

10/19/06 11:55:30 changed by Žilvinas Valinskas <valins@soften.ktu.lt>

Can you try a patch phydisable.2.diff from #914. Just wonder if that helps- I've seen similar problems (on modprobe ath_pci ...) on Xscale/ARM cpus. Might help.

10/19/06 11:58:25 changed by Žilvinas Valinskas <valins@soften.ktu.lt>

Forgot to add that to trigger the problem is simple as ifconfig ath0 up/ifconfig ath0 down several times. Might be entirely different problem in your case though.

10/20/06 10:15:07 changed by seb@frankengul.org

Indeed, different problem since the machine goes crazy as soon as I modprobe the module, without touching any ath/wifi interface.
