[PATCH] i386 copy.S routine optimization?

Hello,

I already talked about this with Radoslaw Kujawa on IRC, I understood 
that it is far from trivial to say if it is good to apply the following 
patch [0] or not due to x86 cache and pipeline subtleties.

I thought it was a good idea but I am indeed not an x86 expert at all :)

However, if anyone has an explanation (and the time to write it down) 
about why this might not be a good idea, I would be interested in 
reading it, just for my own personal curiosity.

If no one has the time, no problem :)

Best regards,

audio, NetBSD-6.1.0_PATCH


Hello,
        I just rebuilt a few times some undertested since late last
        summer versions of praat, Doing phonetics by computer, which
        provides for linguistics a spectrogram machine in software.

        Previously I got basic function by modifying the makefiles in
        the usual ways and hand editing the /dev entries to be for
        /dev/audio rather than /dev/dsp for linux.  This was running
        with some testing of audio working on NetBSD-5.1.2 and then the
        cvs -r netbsd-6 of NetBSD-6.0 from about April 2012.

        I didn't do much with it since Aug. 2012, due to other projects
        and concerns, so recent adapting the source tree with versions
        is undertested. (I assumed foolishly that it would still work as
        well as before when I tested it and played with it a bit.)

        I just upgraded to NetBSD-6.1-RELEASE, and then the cvs -r
        netbsd-6-1 upgrade after I reported some X11 cve's to tech-x11
        and saw some newer versions in the cvsweb tree.  So I am running
        on a Dell Latitude D610:

bash-4.2$ uname -a
NetBSD peano.jtcl.org 6.1.0_PATCH NetBSD 6.1.0_PATCH (Peano12c -r netbsd-6-1 -D today auich.c new xsrc

i386 MP default configuration support

Hi,

sorry for double-posting, I don't know where it belongs to:

I have added i386 MP default configurations to finally have my 
Siemens-Nixdorf PCD-5T supported. It is a dual Pentium system with EISA 
+ PCI (i. e. default configuration 6). dmesg appended, the system seems 
stable, at least with the current PCI cards.

Please find a patch against mpbios.c rev. 1.60 and a patched NetBSD/i386 
6.1 GENERIC kernel with mp_verbose enabled at

     http://www.flxd.de/netbsd/mp_dflt_cfg/

Testers are welcome, especially for the supposedly more common default 
configuration 5 (ISA + PCI). I don't even know if the MCA variants 
existed as real products, but the 486 MP systems seem very rare, too 
(and had discrete local APICs and I/O APIC which might be unsupported at 
the moment anyway).

This is my first "commit" :), so I appreciate all feedback and advice 
for possible next steps.

Regards
Felix

ahc hangs when booting NetBSD 6.1 on old SMP machine (PCD-5T)

Hi,

I took my Siemens-Nixdorf PCD-5T (dual Pentium 100, EISA and PCI) out
of its long sleep (sorry I didn't have the time earlier before 6.1).
Around 10 years ago, NetBSD 2.0 with SMP panicked because of a not yet
implemented SMP variant (see PR #26366). This seems to be implemented
now, but I still have no luck booting this nice machine with SMP and
NetBSD 6.1...

An Adaptec AHA-2940 PCI adapter seems to be the problem. The machine
hangs after a "card dump".
I also have an Adaptec AHA-2740/42W for EISA bus, which gives a
similar "card dump" like the PCI adapter (I first thought the EISA
adapter or EISA-specific driver part was to blame, but no)!

When booting the machine with SMP disabled (boot -1), everything seems fine.

dmesg dumps for SMP and non-SMP boots follow... Would be great to have
NetBSD running on this machine finally after such a long time of
waiting ;) Any clue?

Regards
Felix

FFSv2 vs FFSv1

I noticed that 6.0.1's sysinst uses FFSv2 for the / file system, even 
on a 20 GB disk.

Is it true that FFSv2 is needed for WAPBL?

Is there a Web page or document somewhere that details the 
differences between FFSv1 and FFSv2?

I suppose references to FFSv1 in The Guide  Chapter 16. NetBSD 
RAIDframe  should be replaced with FFSv2, such as in 16.3.6:

Next, format the newly created / partition as a 4.2BSD FFSv2 File System:

# newfs -O 2 /dev/rraid0a

and 16.3.7 should say to install the FFSv2 boot loader:

On i386, install the boot loader into /dev/rwd1a:

# /usr/sbin/installboot -o timeout=30 -v /dev/rwd1a /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv2

Correct?

What's the most convenient way of seeing if an existing partition is 
FFSv1 or v2?

Broken 6.0.1 RAIDframe

I've set up a NetBSD/i386 6.0.1 system with its root partition on a 
RAID-1 RAIDframe volume and somehow managed to get it into a broken 
state.  This is only a test system containing no important data, so 
it doesn't matter if it can't be fixed, but I'd be interested to know 
if it can be for reference, please.

The RAID-1 array is composed of wd0a and wd1a.

# uname -mrs
NetBSD 6.0.1 i386
#
# raidctl -s raid0
Components:
            /dev/wd0a: optimal
           component1: failed
No spares.
Component label for /dev/wd0a:
    Row: 0, Column: 0, Num Rows: 1, Num Columns: 2
    Version: 2, Serial Number: 2013001, Mod Counter: 135
    Clean: No, Status: 0
    sectPerSU: 128, SUsPerPU: 1, SUsPerRU: 1
    Queue size: 100, blocksize: 512, numBlocks: 39100160
    RAID Level: 1
    Autoconfig: Yes
    Root partition: Yes
    Last configured as: raid0
component1 status is: failed.  Skipping label.
Parity status: clean
Reconstruction is 100% complete.

Mounting a dump file

I've attempted to back up a NetBSD/i386 5.1.2 machine by dumping its 
root partition to a NetBSD/i386 6.0.1 machine using dump over ssh by 
running this script using crontab:

# cat dump-script
#!/bin/sh

# This script is run by cron to dump the root file system to the /usr/dumps/$1
# directory on 192.168.0.100 across the LAN using ssh.
#
# This machine's name is the first argument to this script,
# i.e. $1

dump -0a -f - / | ssh dmp <at> 192.168.0.100 dd 
of=/usr/dumps/$1/$1-dump-`date +%Y-%m-%d`
#

This seems to work; on the destination machine:

# uname -mv
NetBSD 6.0.1 (GENERIC) i386
# ls -lh
total 2.3G
-rw-r--r--  1 dmp  wheel  2.3G Apr 10 05:02 tstdmp-dump-2013-04-10

Yes, thanks Martin, that works.
