Hello Gen,

3.4 kernel is fine for me.
spu-sycall path is out of date.
cannot test spufs more just spu hello

Petitboot no patch for 3.4 in target linux generic. Try without it, failed.

Here my report about 3.4.0
NOT applied patches:
ps3fb-use-fifo.patch and ps3jupiter.patch (I've FAT) and SPU related to go clean: syscall-spu-create-unlock-dput-fix.patch and spu-enum-shared-param.patch
syscall-spu-create-unlock-dput-fix.patch seems to be useless now because they have fixed the bug mainline, no more 'bad unlock balance detected!'

I've tested perlin_noise OpenCL sample instead of my test program, but got the same issue: 'possible circular locking dependency detected', this issue happens only one time,
on concurrent runs don't come out, but it slows down execution time... Evil or Very Mad

One other strange thing is that my program tells how many compute units (SPUs) will be used/are available, and without spu-enum-shared-param.patch it tells me that there are 7 compute units, BUT spu-top lists only 6!
spu-top should be right, without that patch should be effectively 6, OpenCL builtin function tells 7!

dmesg tells also at second line:
read_node:139: lv1_read_repository_node failed:

anyone testing hello_spu on 6 and 7 spus watching how many spus lists spu-top? any issues?

Hello Gen,

I run spu test for the libspe2 tests. There is one test freezing that is testmap1.

Here is below part of sources.

ctx = spe_context_create(flags, NULL);
mfc_cmd_area = spe_ps_area_get(ctx, SPE_MFC_COMMAND_AREA);
if(mfc_cmd_area != NULL)
{
printf("mfc_cmd_area is: %p\n", mfc_cmd_area);
/* comment by me */
/* MFC_LSA = mfc_cmd_area->MFC_LSA; */
}


spu_control_area = spe_ps_area_get(ctx, SPE_CONTROL_AREA);
if(spu_control_area != NULL)
{
printf("spu_control_area is: %p\n", spu_control_area);
/* comment by me */
/* status = spu_control_area->SPU_Status; */
}


starting ..
mfc_cmd_area is: 0xfff86c08000
spu_control_area is: 0xfff86c09000
0 done
0 done

if I remove the comment out as original source:
MFC_LSA = mfc_cmd_area->MFC_LSA;
then
starting ..
mfc_cmd_area is: 0xfff86c08000
....freezing here.

I guess the return mapping address is wrong. What do you thing?

Anyway, Thanks.

Hello Gen,

As your suggestion about how many spes, I run testinfo of libspe2-2.2.80(Gentoo ebuild) tests as source below. If I guess wrong, please do forgive.

#include <stdio.h>
#include "libspe2.h"

int main(void)
{
int no, nocpus , i;

nocpus = spe_cpu_info_get(SPE_COUNT_PHYSICAL_CPU_NODES, -2);
printf("-2 ==> %d (%d)\n", nocpus, errno);

nocpus = spe_cpu_info_get(SPE_COUNT_PHYSICAL_CPU_NODES, -1);
printf("-1 ==> %d (%d)\n", nocpus, errno);

for (i=-2; i <= nocpus; i++) {
no = spe_cpu_info_get(SPE_COUNT_PHYSICAL_SPES, i);
printf("%2d ==> %d (%d)\n",i, no, errno);

no = spe_cpu_info_get(SPE_COUNT_USABLE_SPES, i);
printf("%2d ==> %d (%d)\n",i, no, errno);
}
}

./testinfo
-2 ==> -1 (22)
-1 ==> 4 (0)
-2 ==> -1 (22)

Hi Gen,

Today, I run libspu 2.2.80-132 tests. find almost OK except only spe_context_create_affinity (Invalid argument) issue. Is this fine or linux PS3 not supported?.

did you have applied syscall-spu-create-unlock-dput-fix.patch and spu-enum-shared-param.patch? or not?
can you run spu-top to see spe's workload?

Hi Gen,

syscall-spu-create-unlock-dput-fix.patch=No
spu-enum-shared-param.patch=Yes

For 3.4, syscall-spu-create-unlock-dput-fix can not be applied. The spu syscall is changed and difference from 3.3.2-3.3.7.But I'm not sure about this, but I look at the code. This patch should failed to patch.

Any Thanks,

Hello Gen,

I've just noticed for 3.4. There is no /proc/dma.
Is this normal?

But for 3.3.x, I can see /proc/dma(4: cascade). I use the same config for all 3.3x and 3.4.

And all for spu affinity test fails,
I have no sure for yours.
Is it acctually not supported for PS3?

Anyway, Thanks.

Hello Gen,

I understand. Just try to test.
I test linux-3.4.tar.bz2 and ps3-linux clone(update from git.kernel.org, modify patch a bit). My test is both fine. The only thing that I can see is /proc/dma gone no more for 3.4.

For spu affinity feature, There is not support for PS3. So spu for ps3 is almost positive fine for 3.4.

Anyway, Thanks a lot.

Patch syscall-spu-create-unlock-dput-fix.patch is not necessary anymore on Linux 3.4 because it was fixed finally.
Tested it with latest libspe2 from SVN and it works fine now.

Hello Gen,

Yours is right? I don't need it, but ask to make sure it normal and if perhaps you got it.

For 3.3.x, i can see /proc/dma, but no more for 3.4.

I make a test for spu.
find "test context create error" not passed.

I look the code:
This test is open null device until no room to store file descriptor or cannot be opened for read and then call spe_context_create(SPE_MAP_PS, NULL).
As far as I understand, this function should return null first and for the second or more loop, try to close as the specify number until spe_context_create can return not null and break the loop. But the kernel trap errror in spe_context_create, I think this manner is not correct. It should return null without trap error.

I also try open three null device and call spe_context_create. The result is working correct. This is becasue the spe_context_create is successful created.

As you know, I just start to learn and say not know a bout it at all.

So if possible can you to see and find what is able to heal this case.

Thanks a lot.

I've tested glevand prebuilt's 3.4.1 on FAT:
I was missing the kernel commandline: devtmpfs.mount=1 to get udev145 boot fedora

I don't have /proc/dma
I have again the same issue running OpenCL: possible circular locking dependency detected, only one time but it slowdown runtime
I have again OpenCL run on 7spu and spu-top listing only 6!
attaching dmesg, how about
read_node:139: lv1_read_repository_node failed and
Bluetooth: hci0 command tx timeout?

Figured it out.

It's from arch/powerpc/platforms/ps3/os-area.c:ps3_os_area_save_params

ps3_repository_read_boot_dat_info functions tries to read boot data info repo node.
On old OtherOS, HV reads a database from FLASH region where petitboot is stored and copies it to a memory chunk.
The repo node boot data info is the address of this memory chunk. On OtherOS++ we do not do it anymore. It doesn't hurt.

Updated my patches for Linux 3.3. and Linux 3.4. There is no series file anymore.
The order of patches is given through file names now, like on OpenWRT.
I wont' maintain OpenWRT kernel patches separately anymore because they are the same from now on.

Use patch -p1 to apply patches.

I'm getting only a Bluetooth: hci0 command tx timeout
maybe I'm missing something
cat .config | grep BT
CONFIG_BT=m
CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM=m
CONFIG_BT_RFCOMM_TTY=y
CONFIG_BT_BNEP=m
CONFIG_BT_BNEP_MC_FILTER=y
CONFIG_BT_BNEP_PROTO_FILTER=y
CONFIG_BT_HIDP=m
CONFIG_BT_HCIBTUSB=m
# CONFIG_BT_HCIUART is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HCIBCM203X is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HCIBPA10X is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HCIBFUSB is not set
# CONFIG_BT_HCIVHCI is not set
# CONFIG_BT_MRVL is not set
# CONFIG_BT_ATH3K is not set
# CONFIG_BTRFS_FS is not set

but there is an OpenCL issue, I think...

Yeah I installed it a fresh and now my bluetooth doesn't work now either

I can only think that I installed 2.6 then i decided to go with 3.4.2. It must have been when i just went and installed it from the beginning on top of the 2.6 and it must've still had the bluetooth stuff still loaded/installed?

anyway it doesn't work again now


That seems to be the only prob i've found so far havent tried the wlan yet

Is just removing the ps3vram entry from the fstab enough to deal with the complaints it gives on startup no warnings but it banged on about the ring of fire, before i think its stopped now i removed the entry but is there anything else i need to do?

Welcome back g-brew ya been down or something?

I think it's a bug in Linux kernel.
Try to google it and you will find lots of reports about this issue.

3.4.4 seems ok to me aswell, except bluetooth works when it wants, setup gnome again last night and it never worked, turned on ps3 this morning and it worked untill i installed iceweasel and rebooted, now it doesn't work again, weird, get the timeout message in the system logs, all the pages i've found on google about it say its was solved.

Still i've got a cable to connect my phone so i can live without until its sorted, thanks again!!!

It was solved but not for ps3 arch. I guess not many people use Bluetooth with Linux 3.4 on PS3.
