The system bus and chipidea IP have different limitations for both host and device mode. For example, with below errata, we need to enable SDIS(Stream Disable Mode) at host mode. But we don't want it for device mode at the same system. TAR 9000378958 Title: Non-Double Word Aligned Buffer Address Sometimes Causes Host to Hang on OUT Retry Impacted Configuration: Host mode, all transfer types Description: The host core operating in streaming mode may under run while sending the data packet of an OUT transaction. This under run can occur if there are unexpected system delays in fetching the remaining packet data from memory. The host forces a bad CRC on the packet, the device detects the error and discards the packet. The host then retries a Bulk, Interrupt, or Control transfer if an under run occurs according to the USB specification. During simulations, it was found that the host does not issue the retry of the failed bulk OUT. It does not issue any other transactions except SOF packets that have incorrect frame numbers. The second failure mode occurs if the under run occurs on an ISO OUT transaction and the next ISO transaction is a zero byte packet. The host does not issue any transactions (including SOFs). The device detects a Suspend condition, reverts to full speed, and waits for resume signaling. A third failure mode occurs when the host under runs on an ISO OUT and the next ISO in the schedule is an ISO OUT with two max packets of 1024 bytes each. The host should issue MDATA for the first OUT followed by DATA1 for the second. However, it drops the MDATA transaction, and issues the DATA1 transaction. The system impact of this bug is the same regardless of the failure mode observed. The host core hangs, the ehci_ctrl state machine waits for the protocol engine to send the completion status for the corrupted transaction, which never occurs. No indication is sent to the host controller driver, no register bits change and no interrupts occur. Eventually the requesting application times out. Detailed internal behavior: The EHCI control state machine (ehci_ctrl) in the DMA block is responsible for parsing the schedules and initiating all transactions. The ehci_ctrl state machine passes the transaction details to the protocol block by writing the transaction information in to the TxFIFO. It then asserts the pe_hst_run_pkt signal to inform the host protocol state machine (pe_hst_state) that there is a packet in the TxFIFO. A tag of 0x0 indicates a start of packet with the data providing the following information: 35:32 Tag 31:30 Reserved 29:23 Endpoint (lowest 4 bits) 22:16 Address 15:10 Reserved 9:8 Endpoint speed 7:6 Endpoint type 5:6 Data Toggle 3:0 PID The pe_hst_state reads the packet information and constructs the packet and issues it to the PHY interface. The ehci_ctrl state machine writes the start transaction information in to the TxFIFO as 0x03002910c for the OUT packet that had the under run error. However, it writes 0xC3002910C for the retry of the Out transaction, which is incorrect. The pe_hst_state enters a bus timeout state after sending the bad CRC for the packet that under ran. It then purges any data that was back filled in to the TxFIFO for the packet that under ran. The pe_hst_state machine stops purging the TxFIFO when it is empty or if it reads a location that has a tag of 0x0, indicating a start of packet command. The pe_hst_state reads 0xC3002910C and discards it as it does not decode to a start of packet command. It continues to purge the OUT data that has been pre-buffered for the OUT retry . The pe_hst_state detects the hst_packet_run signal and attempts to read the PID and address information from the TxFIFO. This location has packet data and so does not decode to a valid PID and so falls through to the PE_HST_SOF_LOAD state where the frame_num_counter is updated. The frame_num_counter is updated with the data in the TxFIFO. In this case, the data is incorrect as the ehci_ctrl state machine did not initiate the load. The hst_pe_state machine detects the SOF request signal and sends an SOF with the bad frame number. Meanwhile, the ehci_ctrl state machine waits indefinitely in the run_pkt state waiting for the completion status from pe_hst_state machine, which will never happen. The ISO failure case is similar except that there is no retry for ISO. The ehci_ctrl state machine moves to the next transfer in the periodic schedule. If the under run occurs on the last entry of the periodic list then it moves to the Async schedule. In the case of ISO OUT simulations, the next ISO is a zero byte OUT and again the start of packet command gets corrupted. The TxFIFO is empty when the hst_pe_state attempts to read the Address and PID information as the transaction is a zero byte packet. This results in the hst_pe_state machine staying in the GET_PID state, which means that it does not issue any transactions (including SOFs). The device detects a Suspend condition and reverts to full speed mode and waits for a Resume or Reset signal. The EHCI specification allows a Non-DoubleWord (32 bits) offset to be used as a current offset for Buffer Pointer Page 0 of the qTD. In Non-DoubleWord aligned cases, the core reads the packet data from the AHB memory, performs the alignment operation before writing it in to the TxFIFO as a 32 bit data word. An End Of Packet tag (EOP) is written to the TxFIFO after all the packet data has been written in to the TxFIFO. The alignment function is reset to Idle by the EOP tag. The corruption of the start of packet command arises because the packet buffer for the OUT transaction that under ran is not aligned to a DoubleWord, and hence no EOP tag is written to the TxFIFO. The alignment function is still active when the start packet information is written in to the TxFIFO for the retry of the bulk packet or for the next transaction in the case of an under run on an ISO. This results in the corruption of the start tag and the transaction information. Click for waveform showing the command 0x 0000300291 being written in to the TX FIFO for the Out that under ran. Click for waveform showing the command 0xC3002910C written to the TxFIFO instead of 0x 0000300291 Versions affected: Versions 2.10a and previous versions How discovered: Customer simulation Workaround: 1- The EHCI specification allows a non-DoubleWord offset to be used as a current offset for Buffer Pointer Page 0 of the qTD. However, if a DoubleWord offset is used then this issue does not arise. 2- Use non streaming mode to eliminate under runs. Resolution: The fix involves changes to the traffic state machine in the vusb_hs_dma_traf block. The ehci_ctrl state machine updates the context information by encoding the transaction results on the hst_op_context_update signals at the end of a transaction. The signal hst_op_context_update is added to the traffic state machine, and the tx_fifo_under_ran_r signal is generated if the transaction results in an under run error. Click for waveform The traffic state machine then traverses to the do_eop states if the tx_fifo_under_ran error is asserted. Thus an EOP tag is written in to the TxFIFO as shown in this waveform . The EOP tag resets the align state machine to the Idle state ensuring that the next command written by the echi_ctrl state machine does not get corrupted. File(s) modified: RTL code fixed: ….. Method of reproducing: This failure cannot be reproduced in the current test bench. Date Found: March 2010 Date Fixed: June 2010 Update information: Added the RTL code fix Signed-off-by: Peter Chen <peter.chen@freescale.com> |

Linux kernel release 4.x <http://kernel.org/>
These are the release notes for Linux version 4. Read them carefully,
as they tell you what this is all about, explain how to install the
kernel, and what to do if something goes wrong.
WHAT IS LINUX?
Linux is a clone of the operating system Unix, written from scratch by
Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across
the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance.
It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged Unix,
including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand
loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management,
and multistack networking including IPv4 and IPv6.
It is distributed under the GNU General Public License - see the
accompanying COPYING file for more details.
ON WHAT HARDWARE DOES IT RUN?
Although originally developed first for 32-bit x86-based PCs (386 or higher),
today Linux also runs on (at least) the Compaq Alpha AXP, Sun SPARC and
UltraSPARC, Motorola 68000, PowerPC, PowerPC64, ARM, Hitachi SuperH, Cell,
IBM S/390, MIPS, HP PA-RISC, Intel IA-64, DEC VAX, AMD x86-64, AXIS CRIS,
Xtensa, Tilera TILE, AVR32 and Renesas M32R architectures.
Linux is easily portable to most general-purpose 32- or 64-bit architectures
as long as they have a paged memory management unit (PMMU) and a port of the
GNU C compiler (gcc) (part of The GNU Compiler Collection, GCC). Linux has
also been ported to a number of architectures without a PMMU, although
functionality is then obviously somewhat limited.
Linux has also been ported to itself. You can now run the kernel as a
userspace application - this is called UserMode Linux (UML).
DOCUMENTATION:
- There is a lot of documentation available both in electronic form on
the Internet and in books, both Linux-specific and pertaining to
general UNIX questions. I'd recommend looking into the documentation
subdirectories on any Linux FTP site for the LDP (Linux Documentation
Project) books. This README is not meant to be documentation on the
system: there are much better sources available.
- There are various README files in the Documentation/ subdirectory:
these typically contain kernel-specific installation notes for some
drivers for example. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what
is contained in each file. Please read the Changes file, as it
contains information about the problems, which may result by upgrading
your kernel.
- The Documentation/DocBook/ subdirectory contains several guides for
kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a
number of formats: PostScript (.ps), PDF, HTML, & man-pages, among others.
After installation, "make psdocs", "make pdfdocs", "make htmldocs",
or "make mandocs" will render the documentation in the requested format.
INSTALLING the kernel source:
- If you install the full sources, put the kernel tarball in a
directory where you have permissions (eg. your home directory) and
unpack it:
xz -cd linux-4.X.tar.xz | tar xvf -
Replace "X" with the version number of the latest kernel.
Do NOT use the /usr/src/linux area! This area has a (usually
incomplete) set of kernel headers that are used by the library header
files. They should match the library, and not get messed up by
whatever the kernel-du-jour happens to be.
- You can also upgrade between 4.x releases by patching. Patches are
distributed in the xz format. To install by patching, get all the
newer patch files, enter the top level directory of the kernel source
(linux-4.X) and execute:
xz -cd ../patch-4.x.xz | patch -p1
Replace "x" for all versions bigger than the version "X" of your current
source tree, _in_order_, and you should be ok. You may want to remove
the backup files (some-file-name~ or some-file-name.orig), and make sure
that there are no failed patches (some-file-name# or some-file-name.rej).
If there are, either you or I have made a mistake.
Unlike patches for the 4.x kernels, patches for the 4.x.y kernels
(also known as the -stable kernels) are not incremental but instead apply
directly to the base 4.x kernel. For example, if your base kernel is 4.0
and you want to apply the 4.0.3 patch, you must not first apply the 4.0.1
and 4.0.2 patches. Similarly, if you are running kernel version 4.0.2 and
want to jump to 4.0.3, you must first reverse the 4.0.2 patch (that is,
patch -R) _before_ applying the 4.0.3 patch. You can read more on this in
Documentation/applying-patches.txt
Alternatively, the script patch-kernel can be used to automate this
process. It determines the current kernel version and applies any
patches found.
linux/scripts/patch-kernel linux
The first argument in the command above is the location of the
kernel source. Patches are applied from the current directory, but
an alternative directory can be specified as the second argument.
- Make sure you have no stale .o files and dependencies lying around:
cd linux
make mrproper
You should now have the sources correctly installed.
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
Compiling and running the 4.x kernels requires up-to-date
versions of various software packages. Consult
Documentation/Changes for the minimum version numbers required
and how to get updates for these packages. Beware that using
excessively old versions of these packages can cause indirect
errors that are very difficult to track down, so don't assume that
you can just update packages when obvious problems arise during
build or operation.
BUILD directory for the kernel:
When compiling the kernel, all output files will per default be
stored together with the kernel source code.
Using the option "make O=output/dir" allow you to specify an alternate
place for the output files (including .config).
Example:
kernel source code: /usr/src/linux-4.X
build directory: /home/name/build/kernel
To configure and build the kernel, use:
cd /usr/src/linux-4.X
make O=/home/name/build/kernel menuconfig
make O=/home/name/build/kernel
sudo make O=/home/name/build/kernel modules_install install
Please note: If the 'O=output/dir' option is used, then it must be
used for all invocations of make.
CONFIGURING the kernel:
Do not skip this step even if you are only upgrading one minor
version. New configuration options are added in each release, and
odd problems will turn up if the configuration files are not set up
as expected. If you want to carry your existing configuration to a
new version with minimal work, use "make oldconfig", which will
only ask you for the answers to new questions.
- Alternative configuration commands are:
"make config" Plain text interface.
"make menuconfig" Text based color menus, radiolists & dialogs.
"make nconfig" Enhanced text based color menus.
"make xconfig" X windows (Qt) based configuration tool.
"make gconfig" X windows (Gtk) based configuration tool.
"make oldconfig" Default all questions based on the contents of
your existing ./.config file and asking about
new config symbols.
"make silentoldconfig"
Like above, but avoids cluttering the screen
with questions already answered.
Additionally updates the dependencies.
"make olddefconfig"
Like above, but sets new symbols to their default
values without prompting.
"make defconfig" Create a ./.config file by using the default
symbol values from either arch/$ARCH/defconfig
or arch/$ARCH/configs/${PLATFORM}_defconfig,
depending on the architecture.
"make ${PLATFORM}_defconfig"
Create a ./.config file by using the default
symbol values from
arch/$ARCH/configs/${PLATFORM}_defconfig.
Use "make help" to get a list of all available
platforms of your architecture.
"make allyesconfig"
Create a ./.config file by setting symbol
values to 'y' as much as possible.
"make allmodconfig"
Create a ./.config file by setting symbol
values to 'm' as much as possible.
"make allnoconfig" Create a ./.config file by setting symbol
values to 'n' as much as possible.
"make randconfig" Create a ./.config file by setting symbol
values to random values.
"make localmodconfig" Create a config based on current config and
loaded modules (lsmod). Disables any module
option that is not needed for the loaded modules.
To create a localmodconfig for another machine,
store the lsmod of that machine into a file
and pass it in as a LSMOD parameter.
target$ lsmod > /tmp/mylsmod
target$ scp /tmp/mylsmod host:/tmp
host$ make LSMOD=/tmp/mylsmod localmodconfig
The above also works when cross compiling.
"make localyesconfig" Similar to localmodconfig, except it will convert
all module options to built in (=y) options.
You can find more information on using the Linux kernel config tools
in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig.txt.
- NOTES on "make config":
- Having unnecessary drivers will make the kernel bigger, and can
under some circumstances lead to problems: probing for a
nonexistent controller card may confuse your other controllers
- Compiling the kernel with "Processor type" set higher than 386
will result in a kernel that does NOT work on a 386. The
kernel will detect this on bootup, and give up.
- A kernel with math-emulation compiled in will still use the
coprocessor if one is present: the math emulation will just
never get used in that case. The kernel will be slightly larger,
but will work on different machines regardless of whether they
have a math coprocessor or not.
- The "kernel hacking" configuration details usually result in a
bigger or slower kernel (or both), and can even make the kernel
less stable by configuring some routines to actively try to
break bad code to find kernel problems (kmalloc()). Thus you
should probably answer 'n' to the questions for "development",
"experimental", or "debugging" features.
COMPILING the kernel:
- Make sure you have at least gcc 3.2 available.
For more information, refer to Documentation/Changes.
Please note that you can still run a.out user programs with this kernel.
- Do a "make" to create a compressed kernel image. It is also
possible to do "make install" if you have lilo installed to suit the
kernel makefiles, but you may want to check your particular lilo setup first.
To do the actual install, you have to be root, but none of the normal
build should require that. Don't take the name of root in vain.
- If you configured any of the parts of the kernel as `modules', you
will also have to do "make modules_install".
- Verbose kernel compile/build output:
Normally, the kernel build system runs in a fairly quiet mode (but not
totally silent). However, sometimes you or other kernel developers need
to see compile, link, or other commands exactly as they are executed.
For this, use "verbose" build mode. This is done by inserting
"V=1" in the "make" command. E.g.:
make V=1 all
To have the build system also tell the reason for the rebuild of each
target, use "V=2". The default is "V=0".
- Keep a backup kernel handy in case something goes wrong. This is
especially true for the development releases, since each new release
contains new code which has not been debugged. Make sure you keep a
backup of the modules corresponding to that kernel, as well. If you
are installing a new kernel with the same version number as your
working kernel, make a backup of your modules directory before you
do a "make modules_install".
Alternatively, before compiling, use the kernel config option
"LOCALVERSION" to append a unique suffix to the regular kernel version.
LOCALVERSION can be set in the "General Setup" menu.
- In order to boot your new kernel, you'll need to copy the kernel
image (e.g. .../linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage after compilation)
to the place where your regular bootable kernel is found.
- Booting a kernel directly from a floppy without the assistance of a
bootloader such as LILO, is no longer supported.
If you boot Linux from the hard drive, chances are you use LILO, which
uses the kernel image as specified in the file /etc/lilo.conf. The
kernel image file is usually /vmlinuz, /boot/vmlinuz, /bzImage or
/boot/bzImage. To use the new kernel, save a copy of the old image
and copy the new image over the old one. Then, you MUST RERUN LILO
to update the loading map!! If you don't, you won't be able to boot
the new kernel image.
Reinstalling LILO is usually a matter of running /sbin/lilo.
You may wish to edit /etc/lilo.conf to specify an entry for your
old kernel image (say, /vmlinux.old) in case the new one does not
work. See the LILO docs for more information.
After reinstalling LILO, you should be all set. Shutdown the system,
reboot, and enjoy!
If you ever need to change the default root device, video mode,
ramdisk size, etc. in the kernel image, use the 'rdev' program (or
alternatively the LILO boot options when appropriate). No need to
recompile the kernel to change these parameters.
- Reboot with the new kernel and enjoy.
IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG:
- If you have problems that seem to be due to kernel bugs, please check
the file MAINTAINERS to see if there is a particular person associated
with the part of the kernel that you are having trouble with. If there
isn't anyone listed there, then the second best thing is to mail
them to me (torvalds@linux-foundation.org), and possibly to any other
relevant mailing-list or to the newsgroup.
- In all bug-reports, *please* tell what kernel you are talking about,
how to duplicate the problem, and what your setup is (use your common
sense). If the problem is new, tell me so, and if the problem is
old, please try to tell me when you first noticed it.
- If the bug results in a message like
unable to handle kernel paging request at address C0000010
Oops: 0002
EIP: 0010:XXXXXXXX
eax: xxxxxxxx ebx: xxxxxxxx ecx: xxxxxxxx edx: xxxxxxxx
esi: xxxxxxxx edi: xxxxxxxx ebp: xxxxxxxx
ds: xxxx es: xxxx fs: xxxx gs: xxxx
Pid: xx, process nr: xx
xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
or similar kernel debugging information on your screen or in your
system log, please duplicate it *exactly*. The dump may look
incomprehensible to you, but it does contain information that may
help debugging the problem. The text above the dump is also
important: it tells something about why the kernel dumped code (in
the above example, it's due to a bad kernel pointer). More information
on making sense of the dump is in Documentation/oops-tracing.txt
- If you compiled the kernel with CONFIG_KALLSYMS you can send the dump
as is, otherwise you will have to use the "ksymoops" program to make
sense of the dump (but compiling with CONFIG_KALLSYMS is usually preferred).
This utility can be downloaded from
ftp://ftp.<country>.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/ksymoops/ .
Alternatively, you can do the dump lookup by hand:
- In debugging dumps like the above, it helps enormously if you can
look up what the EIP value means. The hex value as such doesn't help
me or anybody else very much: it will depend on your particular
kernel setup. What you should do is take the hex value from the EIP
line (ignore the "0010:"), and look it up in the kernel namelist to
see which kernel function contains the offending address.
To find out the kernel function name, you'll need to find the system
binary associated with the kernel that exhibited the symptom. This is
the file 'linux/vmlinux'. To extract the namelist and match it against
the EIP from the kernel crash, do:
nm vmlinux | sort | less
This will give you a list of kernel addresses sorted in ascending
order, from which it is simple to find the function that contains the
offending address. Note that the address given by the kernel
debugging messages will not necessarily match exactly with the
function addresses (in fact, that is very unlikely), so you can't
just 'grep' the list: the list will, however, give you the starting
point of each kernel function, so by looking for the function that
has a starting address lower than the one you are searching for but
is followed by a function with a higher address you will find the one
you want. In fact, it may be a good idea to include a bit of
"context" in your problem report, giving a few lines around the
interesting one.
If you for some reason cannot do the above (you have a pre-compiled
kernel image or similar), telling me as much about your setup as
possible will help. Please read the REPORTING-BUGS document for details.
- Alternatively, you can use gdb on a running kernel. (read-only; i.e. you
cannot change values or set break points.) To do this, first compile the
kernel with -g; edit arch/i386/Makefile appropriately, then do a "make
clean". You'll also need to enable CONFIG_PROC_FS (via "make config").
After you've rebooted with the new kernel, do "gdb vmlinux /proc/kcore".
You can now use all the usual gdb commands. The command to look up the
point where your system crashed is "l *0xXXXXXXXX". (Replace the XXXes
with the EIP value.)
gdb'ing a non-running kernel currently fails because gdb (wrongly)
disregards the starting offset for which the kernel is compiled.
