GDB includes asm/offsets.h

Hi all,

hppa-nat-linux.c relies on autogenerated header asm/offsets.h which is no longer included in our
linux-headers packages.

What would be the best way to fix this issue ?

Copy the defines in hppa-nat-linux.c itself ?
Include a copy of this file in gdb's sources ?

I know ppc moved those includes into gcc. What's your position guys ?

Thanks,
  Guy

glibc 2.5 and binutils CVS

Hi all,

I am trying to build glibc 2.5 with a CVS version of binutils
(2.17.20070103) in order to enable thread local storage support.

I get an error on an assembly file:
../ports/sysdeps/hppa/dl-trampoline.S: Assembler messages:
../ports/sysdeps/hppa/dl-trampoline.S:287: Error: open CFI at the end of
file; missing .cfi_endproc directive

Does anybody know how to fix that?

Thanks,
Aurélien

oh it was so trivial! Thanks. And sorry for not having searched more a
solution.

Thanks. Checked into upstream.

Cheers,

input constraints in atomic.h too loose ?

while building glibc-2.5/cvs with gcc-4.1.1, i hit an error about invalid 
operands in the locking code ... looks like the declared constraints for the 
inputs in atomic.h are too loose ?

2.6.20-rc7 killed my K410

Hi all,

I recently tried the latest git as of today and it broke badly my K410.
The last kernel I tried was 2.6.20-rc6. Git version again but this one was working fine (in UP, SMP was more
badly broken than 2.6.19.1-pa0)
It corrupted the stable storage in a way that the HWversion value differs from the expected value and fails.

In my first try of booting this kernel it also corrupted the stable storage but it still reached the pdc
console and I could recover it by going in COnfiguration -> DEfault. It was not possible to set any path
anymore using pa pri 10/0.1 nor read any path before using this command.

Do you know a way to recover from this ?

This is the last boot attempt. For this one I disabled all CPU but the first one and palo had the nosmp option
set anyway.

glibc 2.5 & TLS linuxthreads (+ NPTL status)

Hi all,

I spent the last week-end trying to get the Debian glibc 2.5 package
built with linuxthreads and TLS support on HPPA. And it was successfull!
The packages should be available in the experimental repository when the
HPPA autobuilder have built it (my build was a bit hackish).

FYI, I used binutils 2.17 CVS 20070103 and 4.2.0 CVS 20070105.

To make the glibc buildable I had to use the following patch from Carlos
O'Donell:
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-glibc/glibc-package/branches/glibc-2.5/debian/patches/hppa/submitted-lt.diff?op=file&rev=0&sc=0

This patch is already very old, but has still not be committed to the
CVS. Is it something wanted, or has it only been forgotten?

Also what is the current status of NPTL on HPPA. Last time I tried it
was building but they were some failures in the testsuite. I am
currently building a test version here. Is it something stable enough
that it can be used "in production"? I have seen Gentoo has made the
switch...

Bye,
Aurelien

Nope, not yet, our test with glibc-2.5 resulted in segfault with all threaded stuff.

I hope you'll have more success :)

1. Retrieve glibc head.
2. Apply http://www.parisc-linux.org/~carlos/libc-head-2007-02-05.diff
3. Build.
4. Run testsuite.

The NPTL support for hppa-linux is still alpha quality. The testsuite
failures need examining and debugging.

Cheers,
Carlos.
