ACPI testing needed for PCI routing code!

Contributed by ben on 2007-01-25 from the acpi-testing-for-fun-and-profit^Wsupported-hardware! dept.

marco@ writes on misc@:

Good ACPI news for everyone!  Over the last few days a bunch of people have
been involved in fixing several issues that were holding back potential
deployment of the shiny new ACPI based interrupt routing magic.

We need far and wide testing of all this code on all amd64 and i386 platforms
(including apple stuff).  This test should be run with both GENERIC and
GENERIC.MP.

These changes are in the latest snapshots that were uploaded last night, so please be sure that your local mirror has the most copy before you download.

Marco asks that you all take this very seriously! Please test, and send failed dmesg’s to jordan@, kettenis@, and marco@.

To test these changes you can do the following:

To test this code boot the kernel into UKC by using the -c switch at the boot
prompt and enable acpi.  Example:
boot> b /bsd.mp -c
... dmesg stuff ...
User Kernel Config
UKC> enable acpi
254 acpi0 enabled
UKC> quit
Continuing...

Here is a full dmesg from marco@’s testbed:

A bit off topic, but how is SMP performance in OpenBSD nowadays? 4 and more cpu wise?

  Well, terrible, it's pretty much the same as NetBSDs, but not being improved all that much. And the threading blows still, come back when there is a functional implementation.

    That's a bit of an overstatement. Most of the performance issues we were having were related to bad interrupt routing. This FIXES that (or so we hope!).
    
    When doing userspace only stuff like compiling big projects SMP is very nice. Only when the kernel is real busy is when it starts sucking.

    There should be a SMP-Hackatron...
    More and more Chips provide more then 1 core....
    So I think it`s getting more importent to perform well there.
    
    But lets hope the 1TB border gets brocken down at the FS-Hackatron

    Remember that. They are working in there spare time, so make sure about bribes are ok. :)

    You're free to try and fund-raise for one.
    In order to make it happen, you'd easily need $15,000
    in hardware (multi-core & -CPU amd64 and i386 machines,
    not to mention a couple of sparc64s and macs if you
    wanted to get those working), plus airfare
    and lodging for the devs.
    
    Some of that cost could be brought down if people were
    willing to loan (or donate) the hardware (I remember
    some discussion on misc@ a while back about shipping
    MP sparc64 machines to devs), and someone were to, say,
    donate the use of a small vacation property for the
    hackathon.
    
    That still leaves several thousand dollars in plane
    tickets, as the Atlantic would have to be crossed by
    several people (coming from .eu to .us/.ca, or the
    other way around in reverse).
    
    Not to mention covering the bar tab ;)

Can anyone make a "live cd" of this snapshot? I've got some hardware I've love to test this on but cannot install OpenBSD on to. Torrents welcome!

  Just use cd40.iso. Acpi should be on there as well.

    (1) I've been running this snapshot all day. Two make build's on src and a two on xenocara. It seems to have shaved a bit of time off make build on my dual-CPU amd64 box. I've been running with the ACPI code enabled for over a month now (normally a custom kernel, running GENERIC today). I've not had a single hic-up and I've been pushing it especially hard today.
    
    (2) undeadly needs a lost password form
    
    (3) When is art@ going to post a developer blog message about the cutover from lockmgr to rwlock that went into CVS a week or so ago? That improved performance on my system greatly. I did have one or two spurious ffs messages hit the console the day after those changes went in, but nothing I could reproduce.

I tested this on a Compaq Presario laptop but did not get any error messages. I just got a few ACPI devices that were "not configured". Is the dmesg still helpful?

  I have a Compaq Presario laptop too and get "not configured" for a few ACPI devices. amd64 3200+ but I can't get Cool-N-Quiet to work :( no ACPI support so everything runs full speed, constant noise from fans :(

No issue here on various hosts.

Except that when ACPI is disabled, hw.setperf is not available any more even if acpicpu is enabled.

    Do you by any chance have multiple processors/cores detected with ACPI enabled?

Hi,
I really like undeadly.org and the service it does to OpenBSD. I am just surprised by the way in which words "including apple junk" in the article have been later replaced by "including apple stuff" and the bitter comments to the original words have been silently deleted. Not that those comments were worth anything (they weren't), but any censorship, even a stupid one, is evil.

Despite possibly not the best word picked and the stupid censorship by someone, thanks for good job, Marco.

On my uniprocessor system (Opteron 142) with the most recent snapshot, bsd fails, but bsd.mp works (i386). I lack a serial cable to provide further details.
