John Michael-Gurney is responsible for fixing all the vast majority of the
issues that arose with PCI support.
Kris Kennaway and John Birrell pushed heavily on stability issues. Kris is to
thank for it having even reached its current level of stability. When it
reaches a production state, we will have John to thank for driving it forward.
The following items are needed before sun4v can be used from CVS:
- binutils/gas/config/tc-sparc.c needs to be pulled in from a modern
version of binutils.
- an updated version of the loader needs to be pulled in from perforce
The following items need to be addressed before sun4v can be considered for
deployment:
- The T1 has a fairly minimal floating point unit, fsqrt and a number of
other opcodes are not implemented. Emulation for unimplemented opcodes
needs to be added.
- Running against local disk a race condition exists whereby a cpu will
sometimes run off into the weeds at tl > 2.
- The MD code for interrupt handling will crash on the first ATA interrupt.
- The BCM chipset (bge) is not set up correctly on the T1000. The current
workaround is to use an add in Intel GigE card (em).
- With KSE in the kernel signals are often not directed to the right
process / thread within a process. This causes threaded processes
to frequently become unkillable and gdb to not be reliable when debugging
a threaded process. This issue is slowly being resolved on -threads.
Many thanks go to Sun for having lent / donated a T2000 to both me and
John Birrell.
or not the OS has to wait for RX_RDY or TX_RDY to be set before the OS sets
the control code in the control/status register. Looking at the interface
design, it seems that RX_RDY and TX_RDY are probably there to protect
access to the data register and have nothing to do with the control/status
register. Nevertheless, try to take what I think is the more conservative
approach and always wait for the appropriate [TR]X_RDY flag to be set
before writing any of the WR_NEXT, WR_END, RD_START, or RD_NEXT control
codes to the control/status register.
commits. For some reason I thought the scale factor was a shift count
rather than the multiplicand (that is, I thought leal (%eax,%edx,4) was
going to generate %eax + %edx << 4 rather than %eax + %edx * 4). What
I need is to multiply by 16 to convert a real-mode (seg, offset) tuple
into a flat address. However, the max multiplicand for scaled/index
addressing on i386 is 8, so go back to using a shl and an add.
- Convert two more inter-register mov instructions where we don't need to
preserve the source register to xchg instructions to keep our space
savings.

there are enough places in the DTrace kernel/module sources that

In particular, bsdtar -xm now completely skips the post-extract fixup
