Continuing problems booting

Continuing problems booting

[-- Attachment #1: Type: TEXT/PLAIN, Size: 1406 bytes --]

I am still having problems getting my dom0 machines to boot - I am not 
sure it is a single problem but there do still seem to be ata issues. This 
is with the recent apic patch applied. The full boot log (compressed) is 
attached up to the point it stopped responding.

This log extract is from the same hardware booting off the USB stick. This 
contains a lot of traceback, starting
======================================================

khubd/245 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE0:SE1] is trying to acquire:
  (&retval->lock){......}, at: [<c04a5b9f>] dma_pool_alloc+0x1d/0x247

and this task is already holding:

the full crash is in the attached log (I didn't catch the entire log, so 
there is an earlier gap). Later there are further errors which eventually 
cause xen to give up.

And here are a couple more. First I get this traceback with a dom0 enabled 
kernel not running under xen atthe start of the boot log

Secondly I get this crash when trying to start xen under qemu-kvm. 
Something similar is happening when I try to start xen directly, but I 
can't do serial logging on this computer so I can't be sure.

Oh, I thought I'd fixed that (hm, must have lost the change somewhere).  
Does it keep going OK anyway?

Interesting.  Xen has certainly revealed bugs in kvm's pagetable 
management before, so it wouldn't surprise me if they've broken 
something again (apparently they're not in the habit of testing with 
Xen).  Report it to kvm-devel <kvm@vger.kernel.org>

Yes, that one doesn't cause any obvious problems.

I was hoping that wasn't kvm related because something is crashing my 
x86_64 system when I try to boot it directly into xen at about the same 
point (though I don't have any good way of catching the logging 
information so I can't be sure).

Further testing (and playing with the xen settings so I get to see the 
logging) reveals that it isn't a kvm problem, because I get the same crash 
trying to boot xen directly on the computer.

Hm, yes, I guess there's something to stop stack-protector from adding 
stuff to xen_start_kernel().

But I'm more interested in the crash you see when you have stack 
protector off.  What are the symptoms?

That seems to have been pci related problems due to not setting pci=nomsi. 
Beyond that I still get ata timeouts, and IRQ problems. The end of one 
traceback (I couldn't see the whole thing) looked similar to the one I

Ah, yes.  I should probably find a way to code that rather than relying 
on the user to put it on the command line.

That's a pity; I was hoping those problems would be behind us...  Do you 
have any log messages relating to them?

The USB lockdep error isn't terribly worrying if the machine doesn't 
actually lock up.  I'm still working on a good way to fix that one.

The NULL pointer dereferences are much more of a worry, and a bit 
random.  Looks like the stack pointer has got trashed or something, so 
its not giving any useful information.  Do you know what was going on 
before then?

I haven't yet seen the NULL pointer dereferences in x86_64, but for i686 
boot they would just be part of the ordinary system startup, which I think 
in that case might have got far enough to try to fire off an X boot 
screen (the kernel was from before the last couple of days of drm related 
fixes were applied).

This is under qemu/kvm?

Can you include the complete boot output, and compare a native boot of 
the dom0 kernel too?

Hm, I don't see what would be causing them, regardless.

My x86_64 system has started working with the latest set of patches, I 
suspect as a result of the mtrr related smp changes. If QEMU is still 
broken, I will submit the boot log once I get a chance to test it.

The QEMU boot still fails (pvops patch up-to-date as of 2 days ago), 
probably because it is emulating an ide style cdrom drive which I believe 
xen still has problems with (I have similar problems booting a different 
system with ide disks). The boot log (bzipped) is attached.

(bzip's a bit of an overkill, its only 7k.)

Yes, I think the legacy interrupts are not being set up completely, but 
I'm not quite sure how they should be set up.  Will look into it.

FYI: Recently my dated, apic-less i386 laptop started to successfully
     boot the pv_ops/dom0 kernel, all the way up to userspace.

How recently? I know there was a fix in the first half of last week 
relating to smp mtrr that got one of my machines working, but the problem 
I am having wasn't fixed by that.

Somewhen last week.  Didn't try a while before that (early Feb IIRC), so
there are quite a few candidates which could have fixed it ...

I committed a change to properly initialize legacy irqs, which might

Do you get a vga console?  Can you start domains?

x86-32 booting to usermode dom0, but only with serial console and domain 
creation fails (SIGBUS in the domain builder, so I'm hoping its related 
to the hvm qemu crash).

gfx console works (i.e. kernel /xen-3.3.gz vga=gfx-1024x768x16).
vga text console didn't last time I tried.

Didn't try yet, the machine is heavily underpowered for serious
virtualization work, it has 192 MB RAM only.  And hvm doesn't work
anyway because the box is way to old for that (Pentium III).

Update: latest kernel (rc7 based) crashes.  rc6 from somewhen last week
is the working one.  rc7 messages:

unhandled page fault (ec=0003)
page table walk from c1c55000
 l1[0x055] = 9c55061 1c55

-> rw access to r/o page?

EIP c140f4c3

c140f2d2 <alloc_bootmem_core>:
[ ... ]
c140f4c3:       f3 ab                   rep stos %eax,%es:(%edi)

-> memset(page,0,PAGE_SIZE) ?

Dom0 domain builder says page tables are at c1c55000 -> c1c6a000

/me guesses the initial page tables are released to the page allocator,
but still they are mapped r/o  =>  boom as soon as one happens to get
allocated.  Which probably happens very soon on memory-constrained
machines like mine, while other might stay up longer and show strange
bugs later on ;)

BTW: The trick to see the messages on the laptop screen is:

 kernel /xen-3.3.gz vga=text-80x50,keep
 module /vmlinuz-2.6.29-rc7-tip-kraxel ro root=/dev/zen/rawhide \
        console=hvc0

Doesn't work.  I get messages about failed multicalls with
remap_page_range and privcmd_ioctl in the stack trace.  Most likely
mapping the guest pages in the domain builder doesn't work.  No surprise
this leads to SIGBUS.

VGA text console doesn't work for me either.

I've only managed to get the serial console working.. although I haven't
tried any graphics modes yet. 

Maybe I should play with these again..

Hm.  You should see "XEN PAGETABLES" in the early reservations, which

Hm, OK.  But normal vga console should work.  Works fine on 64-bit; 
can't think of why they might differ...

Yes, a recent update allows my qemu test environment to see its disk. It 
crashes later, but in what looks to be a non-xen related way. However 
booting the kernel non-xen crashes much faster with the traceback

It looks like you need to configure gzip compression for your initrd.  
Also, make sure you don't use any of the other compression algorithms 
for the kernel itself, or Xen won't be able to parse them.

This looks like a bug.  HPA, will it fall down a NULL function pointer 
if you leave compression out?

It now boots (xen and non-xen) if I build with CONFIG_RD_GZIP=y (and work 
around the problems of my current livecd generating situation). I get the 
impression that the boot is expected to fail if this or an equivalent 
CONFIG_RD_BZIP2 or CONFIG_RD_LZMA setting, but it should do so more 
gracefully so I agree this is a bug.

I see it is fixed in latest git.

Now the i386 machine shows other issues, device drivers fail to
register, errno 38 (ENOSYS).  Huh?  Also Shift-PgUp doesn't work, which
makes me think it is an interrupt issue.  APCI-less box.  The x86_64

I can watch the cursor moving, just no characters appear on the screen.
 Maybe some I/O port access issue?  So the color palette is foobar and
it prints black on black?

My x86_64 machine is headless, so I can't comment on that ;)

Hmm, funny thing is, earlyprintk=vga _does_ print something. Looks
incomplete though (scrolls by quickly) and of course the early console
stops anyway as soon as the vga console takes over.

Hm.  I was not really planning on supporting no-ACPI; I've only hooked 
acpi_register_gsi, which is called via acpi_pci_irq_enable.  I guess 
you'd need to do something in pirq_enable_irq as well, and I'm not sure 
if all the stuff gets set up properly for IO_APIC_get_PCI_irq_vector to 
work.

Yes, that's what I see too.  I spent some time staring at the vga 
framebuffer mapping and I can't see anything wrong with it at all - and 
I think the vga code can see its own framebuffer because it actually 
tests to see if it can write and read back from it.

The fact that the cursor moves around suggests that IO ports are the 
only thing that *are* working, but perhaps the io bitmap is coming in to 
play (hm, there's the ring 1 vs ring 3 difference between 32 and 64 bit).

Aside from that, there's the palette, as you suggested, and the 
character generator might be all empty too, I guess.

Also, when I try to start X it just spins there allocating memory until 
everything falls over (used to crash, before the pagetable reservation 
fix).  I'm guessing its related, but I haven't looked into it yet.

Ah, yes. I'd noticed that and forgotten about it.  Well.  What the hell

I have -rc6 kernel which *does* boot.  Maybe that was by accident ;)

The kernel initializes legacy interrupts anyway.  I think you don't need
to do more to handle apic-less machines, no?

Hm, well I don't remember adding any new ENOSYSes in there, so perhaps 
the core kernel has changed in some way under us.

I'm guessing it's this:

static int
__setup_irq(unsigned int irq, struct irq_desc *desc, struct irqaction *new)
{
	struct irqaction *old, **old_ptr;
	const char *old_name = NULL;
	unsigned long flags;
	int shared = 0;
	int ret;

	if (!desc)
		return -EINVAL;

	if (desc->chip == &no_irq_chip)
		return -ENOSYS;
...


which gets called from request_irq.  So that means that the desc is 
getting allocated but the chip hasn't been set up.  Are you using sparse 
irqs?

I guess not, if its only using irqs < 16.  How old is this machine 
anyway; do you really mean its a literal i386?

But the info I'm using to set up the legacy interrupts comes from acpi 
tables, I think, so perhaps its misprogramming the legacy interrupts, 
whereas before they just happened to work in their default config (???).

The config is attached. It might be specific to x86_64 as I tried to

As the *registration* fails already I don't think it is misprogramming.

Well, if there is no info in the acpi tables, you'll ignore the IRQ
altogether ...

Memory mapping issue.  Seems to break during init_memory_mapping().

I can slowly print lines on /dev/tty0 using a shell loop with a sleep in
there.  Doesn't print anything on the screen.  I can see the stuff
printed by earlyvga scroll through the screen though.  Thus vga register
access (for panning) works just fine.  Accessing the memory probably
ends up somewhere else due to the mappings not being setup correctly.

Last line of earlyvga output is this:
  init_memory_mapping: 0000000000000000-000000001d001000

Note that init_memory_mapping () has this close to the end if the function:

   #ifdef CONFIG_X86_32
        early_ioremap_page_table_range_init();
        load_cr3(swapper_pg_dir);
   #endif

i.e. early iomap setup is different in 32bit and 64bit.  Which would
also explain why vgacon works just fine in 64bit mode.

cheers,
  Gerd

I think it is something else.

arch/x86/mm/init_64.c, phys_pte_init():

        /*
         * We will re-use the existing mapping.
         * Xen for example has some special requirements, like mapping
         * pagetable pages as RO. So assume someone who pre-setup

         */
        if (pte_val(*pte)) {
                pages++;
                continue;
         }

I think that does also make sure vga mappings are not overwritten with
something else.  32bit seems to have no equivalent for this though ...

cheers,
  Gerd

Yes, that's what I suspected.   Can you write up a proper patch?

It does, in a fairly hacky and disgusting way.  During boot, we use a 
special version of xen_set_pte which ignores attempts to convert a 
RO->RW mapping, in order to protect existing pagetable mappings.  But it 
probably won't help if someone is trying to replace the ISA mappings 
with something else.  In theory all those mappings should be created 
with _PAGE_IOMAP anyway, so we'd do the right thing; but I don't think 
that's happening.  In the meantime I could extend the hack to look for 
attempts to overwrite _PAGE_IOMAP mappings or something...  Or force 
_PAGE_IOMAP on for pfns in the ISA window.

Fortunately there seems to be an active attempt to unify 32 and 64-bit 
mapping creation, should help (so long as it converges on the 64-bit 
code, which is more sensible).

I've two patches for you.  The first turns the silly "xen-pirq-pirq" in
/proc/interrupts into something useful.  The second does proper legacy
irq setup on top of that.

I guess the assumption here is that if there's no ioapics, we don't have 
acpi?  Or I guess it doesn't matter because we can't program the 
triggering anyway.

I don't think this is correct, for two reasons.  1: I think the default 
ISA triggering is edge/active low, so this will result in screaming 
interrupts if we ever use the defaults, but 2: acpi_get_override_irq() 
returns the appropriate default for ISA anyway, and we shouldn't do 
anything if it fails (otherwise we might try to do things to magic-irq 2 
which could upset things, though I suspect Xen will stop anything really 
bad from happening).

We can't program the trigger anyway.  My machine has acpi.  Nevertheless
acpi_get_override_irq fails due to no ioapic being present.

Ok.  So the old code should be fine and we just need the additional loop
to handle the ioapic-less case.  Will send updated patches tomorrow.

Here we go.  Fixed ioapic loop as discussed, also updated names to be
