[Qemu-devel] Help - `flush_icache_range' MacPPC

[Maurizio Caloro]

Hello Together
Here i drive with me MiniMac G4 1.4Ghz and i try to run Qemu 1.0. i wan't run one Virt. MS Server2008 it's this realistic?.

Unfortunitly from the first (other) Mailinglist i don't become any Answer.

on a possible error recovery support, I would grateful to you.
Thanks and best regards
Mauri

I'd say your gcc is too old / buggy.

Gcc on NetBSD doesn't implement the cache flush helpers? They're just a bunch of instructions, so I don't see how that'd be target os specific.

Take a look at cache-utils.c, it conditionally (depending on the host OS
type) tries to gigure out the cache line sizes, there's code to do that
on Linux, OSX, AIX and FreeBSD. I have no idea if FreeBSD method works
for Net/Open/Dragonfly.. so..

Hrm, I wonder if we could ask some NetBSD enthusiast to help us out here. Christoph?

The FreeBSD method will not work with NetBSD. For NetBSD you have to use
the machdep.cacheinfo sysctl MIB. For OpenBSD this is the only local patch
we have since there is no sysctl (yet) to retrieve the cache line size.
DragonFly has no PowerPC support.

Ah, good, since you seem to know your way around the BSDs, mind to write up a patch?

What about flushing the data cache first, as the other
flush_icache_range does?

Why isn't the cache-utils.h version of flush_icache_range being seen?
It's only ppc_init_cacheline_sizes() that is OS-conditional -- shouldn't
that be what the undefined reference is for?  Is _ARCH_PPC failing to be
defined?

I actually wrote this one from scratch. Ahem.

So why are we flushing the dcache on the other one? Does the icache always fill from memory or can it check if something's in the dcache and fetch it from there? If it's the former, then a dcache flush is crucial, right.

Oh, there is a cache flush function already there! Hah! I completely missed out on that one.

I would assume it's either because _ARCH_PPC is failing to be picked up (include order?) or because the header file is just not included. My motivation in digging into ppc NetBSD issues is rather small though.

The icache is allowed to fill directly from memory, without snooping
dcache.  Where it actually fetches from and whether it snoops any data
cache is implementation-dependent.  On our implementations, instruction
fetches do not snoop data cache.  The fetch could hit in main memory, or
in a shared cache such as L3/CPC (e500mc) or L2 (e500v2).

It looks like GCC sets _ARCH_PPC.  Apparently this isn't happening on
this user's toolchain.

I see. Then the implementation we have seems to do the right thing ;).

Broken NetBSD again :). I don't think we have to worry too much about it for now. As long as this is documented on the mailing list (which it is now) someone who cares about NetBSD can either

a) fix their toolchain
  or
b) add a patch to match on something different

and then the 2 other people on this planet running NetBSD PPC will be happy :)
