- ppc64 builds are busted due to breakage in bk-pci.patch
- sparc64 builds are busted too. Also due to pci problems.
- Various updates to various things. In particular, a kswapd artifact which
could cause too much swapout was fixed.
- I shall be offline for most of this week.

The bootup hangs, from dmesg after reboot to 2.6.9-rc2-mm3:
Checking 'hlt' instruction... OK.

2.6.9-rc2-mm4 hangs here, and never gets to the next line

So I assume something in the next line hangs it. Sysrq-t has no
repsonse, must use the hardware reset button.
Ideas?

Its already off in the .config, theres nothing there I need.
>Try reverting allow-multiple-inputs-in-alternative_input.patch
Ok, I?ll give that a shot. Thanks.
I also note that the agp, radeon & drm stuff is pretty noisy,
deprecated this and deprecated that warnings.
Also, amanda has started, so I?ll not be rebooting till morning to
test the reverted patch.

Amanda got done before I did, so I can report that reverting that
patch did not effect a fix for the hang noted above.

So I not alone, thats comforting (I think)
I just woke up, and I think the next test compile will be done without
the pre-emptable bkl turned on. That was the only diff in the config
I saw when my script ran a make oldconfig, and it defaulted to a Y so
I accepted it when it ran.
Half an hour later (mount had to e2fsck a couple BIG partitions)
Ok, that fixed it and I'm running on it now.
That was the checkbox to make the big-kernel-lock pre-emptable that I
unchecked in a "make xconfig".
So I guess that particular patch still needs help.
I also took this back to the lkml for others to be made aware. But I
wonder whats so odd about our two systems, so far, we are the only
ones to be effected, so lets compare notes:
AMD Athlon 2800xp, biostar N7-NCD-Pro motherboard with an nforce2
chipset, and using the forcedeth driver for eth0. A gigabyte of
DDR400 rated ram running in DDR333 dual channel mode, the 2800xp
Athlon can't handle the DDR400 fsb correctly. No acpi is enabled, and
apm only for shutdown control & rtc handling.

I can confirm the same problem here for 2.6.9-rc2-mm4. Right after the '
Checking 'hlt' instruction .. OK ' it hangs.

Can your athlon 3000xp do the DDR400 setting for the fsb?
For all the marketing hoopla, this 2800 is nowhere near twice as fast
the 1400xp it replaced, the 1400 was doing about 4.5 units of seti
per day, and this one is normally doing about 7.1. I expected to see
about 9/day.

JFYI, my XP2800+ with VIA KT600 cannot handle 2 DDR400 DIMMs neither, so I run
them at 333. But according to memtest86, the speed difference is small (< 4%).

do you know which particular subsystem broke (by comparing the failed
and the successful bootlogs)? Could you boot with 'debug' on the boot
command line - do you get more messages around the hang that could
pinpoint the breakage?

I'm seeing the exact same thing at the same point.
Removing pre-emptable bkl option allows boot.

great - i can reproduce the hang with your .config:
Intel machine check reporting enabled on CPU#0.
Enabling fast FPU save and restore... done.
Enabling unmasked SIMD FPU exception support... done.
Checking 'hlt' instruction... OK.
<hang>
Investigating.

ok, could you re-enable bkl preemption but also enable SCHED_SMT - does
that fix the hang too?

Having both options enabled does allow
the machine to boot properly.

could you try the patch below ontop of -mm4 and try again the .config
that failed before? Does the bootup still hang?
The early bootup stage is pretty fragile because the idle thread is not
yet functioning as such and so we need preemption disabled. Whether the
bootup fails or not seems to depend on timing details so e.g. the
presence of SCHED_SMT makes it go away.
disabling preemption explicitly has another advantage: the atomicity
check in schedule() will catch early-bootup schedule() calls from now
on.
the patch also fixes another preempt-bkl buglet: interrupt-driven
forced-preemption didnt go through preempt_schedule() so it resulted in
auto-dropping of the BKL. Now we go through preempt_schedule() which
properly deals with the BKL.

I could rebuild it and try, but the best capture is gonna be my

It would be the attached one, but with the pre-emptable BKL turned on.
Unchecking it is the only change I made to get it to work.

You talked me into it Ingo, and it works with the bkl preempt turned
on now. And nothing unusual in the dmesg log. Make this one part of
-mm5.

what i use is serial logging to another machine. A digital camera is
fine too, if the problem area is still visible on the screen.
(Netconsole is useful too for other type of hangs but it's not active at
such an early stage yet.)

Unforch, I don't have a spare seriel port Ingo. One is running my x10
stuffs, and the other is monitoring my belkin ups. The ups has a usb
connection too, but belkins monitor soft doesn't support it... They
don't have a real strong support linux attitude, and they apparently
do their linux development on a board with a broken usb1.0 interface,
like my firewall box's Tyan Trinity S-1590 has. It does mice ok, but
hook up anything that can output more than a 5 byte packet and the
machine is locked up instantly.

fortunately with the patch applied your box works now (so does mine) so
the bug appears to be fixed.
early-bootup debugging was never easy, and breakage there doesnt happen
all that often. Hopefully this was the last one related to remove-BKL.
(If such a early-bootup lockup happens in the future then you sure could
temporarily unplug the ups serial connection and use that as the serial
console - for the narrow and temporary purpose of debugging that
boot-time hang.)

I just built a kernel with that latest stack-fix patch in it too, but
haven't rebooted to it yet. I read that as being moderately
important in some cases although I don't think I've encountered that
particular case yet. Was this in fact a good idea for me?

That would I assume need a null modem cable, and what do I run on the
firewall? Minicom? Or is there something better that can just grab
and log without being interactive? Its a rh7.3 box with a 2.4.18 era
kernel. I'd update that, but its not broken. :)

here's a mini-howto:
to set up serial logging:
-------------------------
install a null modem cable to one of the serial ports of the server,
connect the cable to another box, run a terminal program on that other
box (e.g. "minicom -m" - do Alt-L to switch on logging after starting it
up) and set up the server's kernel to do serial logging: enable
CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE and CONFIG_SERIAL_CORE_CONSOLE, recompile &
reinstall the kernel, add "console=ttyS0,38400 console=tty0" to your
/etc/grub.conf or /etc/lilo.conf kernel boot line, reboot the server
with the new kernel command line - and configure minicom to run with
that speed (Alt-S).
e.g. my /etc/grub.conf has:
title test-2.6 (test-2.6)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/sda1 console=ttyS0,38400 console=tty0 nmi_watchdog=1 kernel_preempt=1
if everything is set up correctly then you should see kernel messages
showing up in the minicom session when you boot up.
When the messages do not show up then typical errors are mismatch
between the serial port (or speed) and the device names used - if it's
COM2 then use ttyS1, and dont forget to set up the serial speed option
of minicom, etc. You can test the serial connection by doing:
echo x > /dev/ttyS0
and that should show up in the minicom session on the other box.
to set up the NMI watchdog:
---------------------------
add nmi_watchdog=1 to your boot parameters and reboot - that should be
all to get it active. If all CPU's NMI count increases in
/proc/interrupts then it's working fine. If the counts do not increase
(or only one CPU increases it) then try nmi_watchdog=2 - this is another
type of NMI that might work better. (Very rarely there are boxes that
dont have reliable NMI counts with 1 and 2 either - but i dont think
your box is one of those.)
once the NMI watchdog is up and running it should catch all hard lockups
and print backtraces to the serial console - even if you are within X
while the lockup happens. You can test hard lockups by running the
attached 'lockupcli' userspace code as root - it turns off interrupts
and goes into an infinite loop => instant lockup. The NMI watchdog
should notice this condition after a couple of seconds and should abort
the task, printing a kernel trace as well. Your box should be back in
working order after that point.
now for the real lockup your box wont be 'fixed' by the NMI watchdog, it
will likely stay locked up, but you should get messages on the serial
console, giving us an idea where the kernel locked up and why. (Very
rarely it happens that not even the NMI watchdog prints anything for a
hard lockup - this is often the sign of hardware problems.)

Hello,
I've already posted about problems with audio extraction but it went
unnoticed. Here's a recount: When I attempt to read an audio cd into wavs
with cdda2wav, the process starts but after a while the completion meter
freezes and klogd says "hdc: lost interrupt" and cdda2wav hangs itself.
Disabling DMA doesn't help as well as the boot option "pci=routeirq" too.
Older kernels like 2.6.7 do not show such behavior and there audio extraction
runs fine. Sysinfo attached.
Regards,
Boris.

I use Kermit, it will do about everything you could ask and gives a
single interface for serial and network console connections.

I have a 'little' problem. PS2 mouse is jerky as hell, an when you mismatch
the protocol in X. Both in console and X.
I'm lucky I have an usb mouse.
One other question. Isn't /dev/input/mice supposed to be a multiplexor
for mice ? I think I remember some time when I could have both a PS2 and
a USB mouse connected and X pointer followed both. Now if I boot with the
USB mouse plugged, the PS2 one does not work. If I boot with usb unplugged
and plug it after boot, both work; usb mouse works fine, and PS2 just
jumps half screen each time I move it, and with big delays.
Something is broken in PS2 handling ?
NOTE: they are not really standard protocol mice, but trackballs; PS2 one is
a Logitech TrackMan Marble FX, and the other a Cordless Trackman FX, usb.
TIA

The above sentence is a bit hard to decrypt. Want to try again?
Is this new behaviour? Is current -linus OK? Was 2.6.9-rc2-mm3 OK?

Sorry, it is late and I try to type faster than I think...
Problem: my PS2 trackball is not working. When I move it, the cursor (both
in console and in X) jumps, instead of smoothly following the ball. The
behavior is similar as when (in old days) you tried to use a mouse in X and
put the wrong 'Protocol' in XF86Config. Or as if the driver was only
getting one interrupt out of each hundred. Now with /dev/input/mice you don't.
have to explicitly say the protocol.
The USB ball works fine, so I think it is not a problem of the input drivers,
but of the PS2 one.
I can easily go back till -rc2-mm1 and check. I still have in my /boot
-mm[123]. I will post the results.

I have found this on dmesg. Is it correct ?
mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0
input: ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse on isa0060/serio1
If not, how can I change the protocol ? A kernel bootparam ?
In old X, i used 'Option "Protocol" "MouseManPlusPS/2"'.

psmouse.proto= [HW,MOUSE] Highest PS2 mouse protocol extension to

so for builtin mouse driver (not a loadable module), use:
psmouse.proto=bare|imps|exps
However, it read/sounds like the protocol is probed/detected.
Moreover, it also sounds like MouseManPlusPS/2 isn't listed/supported.
The known protocols according to psmouse-base.c are:
static char *psmouse_protocols[] = {
"None", "PS/2", "PS2++", "PS2T++", "GenPS/2", "ImPS/2", "ImExPS/2", "SynPS/2"};
I guess that you can test: psmouse.proto=bare
or each listed option to see what helps.

I bet it's USB legacy emulation topic again. Try loading USB modules first

Vojtech, what is the status of USB handoff patches. I have seen several
variants and so far heard only success stories from people using them. Can
we have them in kernel proper?

As far as userspace and 2.6. goes the "only true protocol" that you should
use when getting data from /dev/input/mice or /dev/input/mouseX is
ExplorerPS/2. That's because kernel translates events from input devices
into cooked PS/2 protocol and an application can request either bare PS/2,
IMPS/2 or ExplorerPS/2 flavor regardless of what kind of device is behind
/dev/input/mice
Mouseman is not supported as far as userspace goes. If you need more than 5
buttons look for "evdev" patches for X.

They are already in the -mm tree, but they need to be explicitly enabled
with a boot command line option to have the handoff happen.

I think we really need them by default. I had seven bugs with touchpads,
lost synchronization with PS/2 mice and similar fixed just by enabling
this patch unconditionally in the SuSE tree.
As far as I know, there are only a few nForce boards where enabling the
patch hurts - we should be able to do a DMI exception for those. Anyway,
those boards have bigger problems, as USB reportedly doesn't work there
(because the USB drivers do the same handoff).

Hm, let's let the patch make it into mainline and they I'll consider
making it the default. Ok?
