asacogra: any more work item to scratch for rootstock? ;)15:42
ograasac, not today, sorry15:51
asacncommander not here?15:51
asacanyone knows status of qt4-x11?15:51
ogranope15:51
ograafaik he did only work on likewise and since yesterady he digs around in openoffice15:52
persiaasac: What about qt4-x11?15:52
asaci thought michael worked on that for a reason i cant remember15:53
asacits on our thumb2 porting list15:53
asacthats why it came back to my mind15:53
persiaAh.  He did work on it some time back.15:53
ograhe was supposed to make it build, scottk asked for it last release meeting15:54
persiaIt built.15:54
ograright, not on ftbfs anymore15:54
ogradidnt you work with him on that ?15:54
ograi saw some chatter about sip15:54
persiaNot in great detail.15:57
persiadyfet: So, I was looking at Thumb2 porting for lwp, and the only instruction that appears to be suspicious is in src/process.S : am I correct that we don't need to do anything because this will end up being ARM code?16:01
dyfetLet me look at that one...hold on...16:04
persia./src/process.S:738:movpc, r016:05
dyfetEven if the assembler blocks are arm code, will it be potentially called from thumb2 code?16:06
persiaThat's the sort of thing I don't know :)16:06
dyfetIf so, then yes, this should be changed to bx r0, because otherwise you cannot switch instruction modes16:07
persiaThis seems to be a function return call, but I'm kinda guessing16:07
persiaAnd do I care about all the mov ip, sp stuff?16:08
dyfetIt is, but it might be only back into it's own code...this is an interesting example :)16:08
persiaHeh.  So, how would I go about trying to figure out whether it needs switching?16:09
* persia isn't doing so well picking packages: the first was a false-positive, and the second is "interesting"16:09
dyfetWell, we have to go a little further back, and understand what this is.  I think it is a pesudo-context-thread start routine.  I think we cannot be certain what is ran after..16:10
persiaI see lots of savecontext() calls in various .c files, so I'm thinking it's likely being called from Thumb2 code.16:10
dyfetI think so too16:11

asacdyfet: ogra: persia: plars: GrueMaster: StevenK: JamieBennett:^16:11
asacseems we get an earlier slot ... please check quickly ;)16:12
persiaasac: Do you still care about "main and office webservice specs landing" post-Alpha3?16:12
persiaI thought I saw chatter in -devel about that from rickspencer3 a few days back.16:12
ograasac, bug 507416 is fixed for uboot since a long time16:12

dyfetanother thing to look at is stmfd...gcc expects the stack to be 64 bit aligned16:13
asackk16:13
asacpersia: yes i care about that16:13
asacwhy?16:14
persiaJust wanted to make sure it wasn't leftovers.16:14
asacogra: is redboot ready?16:14
asacfor the NEON thing16:14
asacpersia: no ... it was an addition. thanks16:14
ograsure16:14
ograredboot was always ready :)16:14
plarsasac: the two bugs mentioned under bugs with fix available are the same bug16:14
asacfor NEON ... cool16:14
asacplars: but differnt package?16:15
plarsasac: yes, just a separate task for each kernel16:15
asacoh16:15
dyfetpersia: I think lwp is a good example, actually16:15
persiadyfet: Good.  Maybe I can use this to build confidence for the next one :)16:15
persiadyfet: So I want to change line 738 of process.c ?16:16
persiaAnd that ought do it?16:16
dyfetSince the assembly is inline in C, we can also use the C preprocessor....well, we need to look at the rest, but that seems the most clear issue, yes16:16
persiaIs this inline?  It's in a .S file.16:18
persiaI thought that meant it was an external function.16:19
dyfetIt is still being processed in c, lets look at the Makefile, though...16:20
dyfet.S.o:16:22
dyfet    $(COMPILE) -DPIC -fPIC -c $<16:22
dyfetAnd COMPILE in the Makefile is defined as using $(CC)...16:22
persia# Needed for mips, hopefully doesn't affect other platforms16:22
persiaWould it not instead call .S.lo: ?16:23
persiaMind you, it's still $(CC)16:23
dyfetYes...it's a libtool archive presumably, and yes, still calling $(COMPILE), which brings us to the c compiler.16:23
dyfetIt's actually a hacked rule for libtool/automake to treat the .S as a .c source for the purpose of building it.16:24
persiaSo anything done by gcc is "inline" even if in separated files?16:24
dyfetwell, normally a .s file is the assembler generated output of a c source, so I am guessing they originally wrote a c function, used gcc to create an assembler source, and then hacked that as needed.16:25
persiawhich explains the special discussion in PORTING16:26
dyfetAnd why they commented out the original C code in it16:26
persiaSo I'd just change that to bx r0 in a patch, and expect it to work?16:26
dyfetYes, it still uses the c pre-processor, so we can use the patch suggested in the porting guide directly16:27
persiaOK.  Now, this doesn't seem to be architecture-specific code.  Does "bx r0" work for arbitrary architectures?16:28
asacJamieBennett: there?16:28
dyfetIt is arm specific, each processor has it's own unique instruction set16:29
dyfetthe most commonly encountered one is the x86 instruction set(s), which I think are rather feature poor, but that is another topic :)16:30
asac nice ... seems there is porting work going on ;)16:30
asacdyfet: one question. what happened to boost1.40 ... did i fail to sponsor that?16:30
persiadyfet: Ah, I see it now: "#if defined(__arm32__) || defined(__arm__)" : so this is just safe to patch away, right?16:31
asac(sorry if i already asked ... was busy with release team and preparations")16:31
dyfetasac: good question, did you fail to? :)16:31
asacdyfet: if you gave me a good debdiff then yes. do you have that still ;)?16:31
dyfetpersia: yes, welcome to arm porting :)16:31
dyfetasac: let me look16:31
asacthanks16:31
dyfetasac: I also recall i did it slightly different in 1.41...16:32
asacright16:32
asacdyfet: the build system, right?16:32
dyfetyes...let me look at that quickly...16:32
dyfetasac: I also recall, it was not a clean patch, from something I broke when first experimenting with quilt...16:33
dyfetI could quickly redo it...16:34
persiadyfet: So, does http://paste.ubuntu.com/374832/ look right to you?16:40
dyfetWell...going back to the excellent arm porting wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/Thumb2PortingHowto...16:41
dyfetIt should be conditional on armv5 or later...16:41
persiaAh, I should be wrapping it in an ifdef16:41
* persia fixes16:41
dyfetwell, it is the correct thing to do for our debian upstream, which is built armv416:43
persiaIt's QA maintained, so I'd be looking at fixing that next :)16:44
persiaDoes http://paste.ubuntu.com/374837/ look like the right contents of 02-thumb2-porting.patch ?16:45
dyfetyes16:46
persiaExcellent.  I'll push this then.  Do you have any suggestions for a good candidate for my net attempt?16:47
persiaOr maybe you could do one and explain along the way?16:47
dyfetI can shortly, I am quickly getting a patch ready for asac :)16:48
persiaOK.  No rush :)16:48
persiasuihkulokki: Just to verify, is there any reason that one *wouldn't* want to apply something like http://paste.ubuntu.com/374837/ in Debian?16:56

persiadyfet: So, what's the next package?18:11
suihkulokkipersia: looks sensible, but preferrably apply via upstream18:13
persiasuihkulokki: So I should't look to a QA upload, but instead send it upstream directly?18:13
suihkulokkioh, lwp is orphaned. just go for QA upload then.18:15
persiaAnd I presume I'll also add the patch to the BTS, and then forward that upstream when wearing a QA hat?18:16
suihkulokkiYou can forward it wearing any hat your prefer, but yes :)18:17
persiaheh, OK.  Thanks for the guidance.18:17

armin76NCommander: haven't tried ooo on arm18:37
armin76i didn't know it built18:37
* persia pokes dyfet again in hopes of more Thumb2 porting stuff18:37
armin76could try if you want...18:37
persiaarmin76: Could you?  Most of it builds, except this little pesky bit :)18:37
persiaarmin76: Works fine in Debian and in Jaunty, but we started having issues in karmic when the toolchain changed to support more modern CPUs.18:38
suihkulokkiarmin76: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6Z__mepK-Y18:38
NCommanderpersia: no, its broken on Debian with gcc 4.418:38
persiaNCommander: It is?  Ugh.18:39
* persia has seen so many Debian demos that it seemed inevitable that it would keep working18:40
armin76should i try with gcc-4.4 i guess?18:40
NCommanderarmin76: yes please18:40
NCommanderarmin76: it takes upwards of two days to build on an imx51 board though18:40
armin76its okay, i have the efika doing nothing18:40
suihkulokkion thecus it takes a week =)18:40
armin76and plenty of space18:41
NCommanderOn an NSLU, it would take a lifetime :-)18:41
dyfetpersia: where did we leave off?18:50
persiadyfet: You were grabbing a package and I was going to follow along18:51
dyfetI was? okay, let me look at the list...18:51
dyfetAlthough it was done, and a patch was submitted, since I just updated that, lets look at boost for a minute...18:53
persiaCould we look at a new one?  As much as I'd like to learn, I'd rather be productive while learning :)18:54
dyfetokay18:54
dyfetpixman is listed as needs to be checked...18:55
dyfetits not clear if it has an issue or is simply suspected, lets take a look...18:56
armin76whats up with pixman?18:59
dyfetarmin76: it was on the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/Thumb2PackageReviewList18:59
persiaarmin76: It's suspected of having assembly routines that may not be safe for context switching and internetworking19:00
armin76ok :)19:00
dyfetit may take a bit longer, though...it's suspected, but not clearly identified19:01
persiaarmin76: Feel free to jump in if you'd like to help.  I'm sure the patches could be interesting for some of your stuff as well (and we'd certainly appreciate them)19:01
armin76i remember a gentoo user having issues with running non-neon kernel and latest pixman...19:01
armin76well, i don't think i can't be of much help, but if somethings rings a bell i'll say it19:02
persiaThat's probably a different issue, unless they also compiled with -mthumb219:02
armin76yeah, definitely19:02
armin76but is something to keep in mind for dove19:02
persiaarmin76: Depends on your time of course, but dyfet seems to be an expert, and at least I'm learning mostly from scratch19:02
dyfetThis one may not be a great pick, though, it will take a little time to see what specific issues it may have19:03
persiadyfet: The note says something about mov, so I've started with `grep -rn mov *`19:04
dyfetYeah, but that is not a lot to go on :)19:04
persiaI have a feeling that pixman/piman-cpu contains the bulk of the data for investigation.  But thre's also pixman-arm-simd19:05
dyfetlets compare with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/Thumb2PortingHowto to see if anything stands out...19:06
persiaOh, and arm-neon, but are we using that?19:06
dyfetThat is controlled by USE_ARM_NEON in the Makefile, from configure...19:06
dyfetThere is also a --disable-arm-simd in configure and --disable-arm-neon...19:07
dyfetLet's look at the debian rules to see what is enabled...19:07
persiaWhich makes me think we mostly care about pixman-cpu19:07
persiaNo special --enable or --disable.19:08
dyfetnope...19:08
persiaSo that means enabled-by-default, right?19:08
dyfetNo...there is configure tests...19:09
dyfetLet's look at the debian rules to see what is enabled...and a couple of try compile flags19:10
dyfetit might well enable neon build by default if gcc allows it19:10
armin76persia: dyfet: ssvb may be interested in what you have to say wrt pixman19:11
armin76he's the one who has been doing the arm stuff upstream19:11
dyfetarmin76: we probably should ask him.  I suggest, for expediancy, we punt on pixman for this session for now and pick another from the list19:12
armin76haha19:12
dyfetwell, lots of things that require time to look at :)19:12
persiadyfet: Works for me :)19:13
* persia likes simple examples to learn stuff that can then be applied easily.19:13
dyfetwell, I am appearently not great at picking simple ones either :)19:13
persiaHow about parrot?  At least that has a clear comment.19:14
dyfethmm....19:14
dyfetyes it does19:14
dyfetthis should be very quick19:14
persiaThat's what I thought.  I'm hoping you'll run through it and it will match my expectations.19:15
persiaThen I can probably fix that class of stuff easily.19:15
dyfetokay :)19:15
persia(and I'll ask you about the next class if I run out)19:15
ssvbdyfet: if you could tell me what you think is wrong with pixman, that would be a great help19:15
ssvbdyfet: btw, what is your target hardware? if it is Coretex-A8 r1pX, it has a lot of thumb related problems which need workarounds19:16
* persia is happy to wait on other examples to let pixman be investigated19:16
persiassvb: We're trying to be fairly generic, although ARMv7 and Thumb219:17
asacdyfet: look at the comment i posted on the boost1.40 bug ... i adjusted your debdiff a bit ... but now sponsoring19:18
asacjust some nit19:18
ssvbI just want to say, if you are testing thumb/thumb2 code on a hardware which has problems (and no workarounds are applied), you are going to have problems for sure19:18
ssvbyou may be just wasting time looking for bugs in software...19:19
persiassvb: At this point, we're not really looking for bugs, but for assembly routines we believe to be unsafe with context swtiching and internetworking.19:20
persiaStuff like changing "mov   pc, r0" to "bx r0" conditionally for ARMv5+19:20
dyfetssvb: we thought it might be a simple case example :)19:20
ssvbah, this should be pretty easy19:20
* persia grabs the pixman code again, expecting to learn lots19:21
dyfetpersia: speaking of which, parrot is an interesting special case.  It emits assembler as part of it's jit...19:21
persiadyfet: Right. I'll unpick that one then :)  Let's do pixman whilst we've ssvb around.19:21
dyfetokay19:22
persiassvb: So, I checked before, and I think the majority of candidates for investigation are in pixman-cpu.c, pixman-arm-neon.c, andpixman-arm-simd.c19:22
dyfetyes...19:23
ssvbI may be missing something, but thumb interworking is only involved when functions are fully implemented in assembly19:24
ssvbthis basically rules out practically all *.c sources19:24
persiaOh, I thought I saw some inline stuff in those.19:24
* persia checks again19:24
ssvbmaybe with the exception of some really weird stuff19:24
persiaYeah, there's deinitely inline assembly in those three files.19:25
persiapixman-cpu seems to be only x86 code though, and appropriately "ifdef'd19:25
ssvbinline assembly can only have thumb interworking problems if it contains function calls, which almost never happens typically19:26
dyfetand even that code is limited to cpu detection19:26
persiassvb: So you think pixman is safe?19:26
* persia doesn't see any mov pc lines, but isn't confident that this is enough to be sure19:27
dyfetIt maybe is a false positive19:27
ssvbI'm not aware of any problems and actually did test it with thumb2 a bit19:27
ssvbbut one can be never sure completely, that's why I was interested to know if you have spotted something  :)19:28
persiaRight then.  I'm glad we did this, as it helps me understand how to decide *not* to patch things.19:28
dyfetssvb: not specifically, but since it was on the high priority list, I wanted to make sure we looked at it19:29
ssvbthe only problem I know is that pixman-arm-simd just does not compile for thumb and it is a bit ugly :/19:31
dyfetssvb: ok :)....that seems an apt description :)19:31
dyfetI have to check another bug for a few minutes19:34
dmartI was busy editing the wiki and didn't watch this chat closely...19:35
dyfetIf you want to pick another package in the interum, persia, I am not sure if any of the remaining high priority ones are good picks for training though19:35
persiadyfet: Sure.  I'll try to pick one out.19:35
dyfetdmart: hi :)  I saw the chart you added :)19:35
dmartThe call/return stuff was a bit of a braindump, so hopefully the summary helps a bit19:36
persiadmart: Main interesting things were that we got a fix for lwp, and determined that we didn't think pixman needed a patch.19:36
dmartThe offending lines we grepped in pixman were:19:36
dmart ./pixman-0.16.2/pixman/pixman-arm-detect-win32.asm:    mov pc,lr19:36
dmart ./pixman-0.16.2/pixman/pixman-arm-detect-win32.asm:    mov pc,lr19:36
dmartThese would need fixing if that file gets built... but "win32" rather suggests is doesn't apply to us.19:37
ssvbyes, it's windows specific code19:37
dmartOK, if it's not build for Linux we don't have to worry about it.19:37
dmartIt's getting late here, so I will disappear in a minute...19:38
persiadyfet: How about xindy?19:38
persiadmart: Have a good evening.19:38
dmartFeel free to add comments on the wiki if you'd like to see something clarified better!19:38
dmart(or poke me next week)19:39
dyfetpersia: the review list suggests its a simple issue...19:39
persiadyfet: Well, OK.  Go do something hard then, and I'll see if I can do xindy :)19:40
dyfetwell, okay :).  I will follow along with what your doing though :)19:40
persiadyfet: How about newlib ?19:40
persiadyfet: I suspect that if I work on xindy and you work on newlib, you can share what you've done, and I can ask questions :)19:41
dyfetpersia: we have nothing depending on newlib...but okay19:42
persiaOh, then I'm just lousy at picking :)  You pick one.19:43
persiaopenssl?19:43
dyfetokay, but I have one other thing I need to look at first19:43

NCommanderpersia: I can't figure out why kdebindings is waiting on okular, it should be installable20:30
* persia looks20:30
persiaNCommander: install only, not build,right?20:30
NCommanderpersia: yeah, its built20:31
NCommanderpersia: doing sudo apt-get install libokularcore1 says it needs phonon20:31
NCommanderdoing sudo apt-get install libokularcore1 phonon asks if I wish to install packages :-)20:31
persia"E: Couldn't find package kdebindings" with just refreshed apt-cache20:36
persiaWhat am I installing?20:36
NCommanderpersia: kdebindings is the source package20:37
NCommanderpersia: apt-get build-dep kdebindings :-)20:37
persiaThat's why I asked "install only, not build, right?" :p20:38
NCommanderpersia: huh?20:39
persiaI was asking whether you seemed to be stuck on "install", meaning some sort of arch skew, or "build" meaning issues getitng the build-deps sorted.20:40
persiaapt-get build-dep kdebindings works for me, with an up-to-date cache, although it will be another half-hour before it finishes installing all the build-deps.20:41
NCommanderpersia: right, it did in an installed system20:41
NCommanderpersia: clean chroot with main only, it didn't work20:41
persiaAha.  I always forget to check that.20:41
NCommanderpersia: but everything seems to be in main20:42
* persia is writing a script to check, and getting sufficiently annoyed by sed to do it manually.20:44
NCommander_persia: any luck?20:57
=== NCommander_ is now known as NCommander
=== NCommander is now known as Guest88140
persiaNCommander: I've stripped to main-only, and managed to replicate your symptom.  I'm investigating now.20:57
Guest88140persia: thanks21:02
persiaGuest88140: Takes me a while though: I need to set up a mirror some day, or convince someone to mirror p.u.c domestically.21:03

Hoonseis it normal that the internet on ubuntu on the beagleboard is really slow? i mean REEEEEALLY slow21:05
NCommanderHoonse: slow as in firefox, or slow as in using wget?21:05
Hoonseslow that when a desktop pc downloads with 400kb/s the board loads with 1kb/s?!? by apt-get install...21:07
NCommanderHoonse: oh, apt-get on ARM uses a different server21:07
NCommanderports.ubuntu.com is in the UK and can sometimes really drag :-)21:07
persiaNCommander: This would go faster if qemu supported syscall 335, if you're bored :)21:07
Hoonseoh... i got really wiered trubble with setting up this god dammed wifi...21:08
Hoonsei am almost crying =)21:08
Hoonseloool 2.875 B/s i feel thrown back to the 56k times =)21:09
Hoonse240B/S but this cant be normal!!!!!21:10
NCommanderHoonse: try another webite21:10
Hoonsethis cant be possible!!! the ftp UPLOAD to the board runs at the begining  with 2,5 kb/s then a short time with 220kb/s and then it seems like it would freeze?!? why is my wifi on this board so buggy?21:21
persiaNCommander: Looks like the schroot issue is related to some hang when building the documentation.  Could you run a local build (probably overnight) to see if it ever completes or produces an error?21:32
* persia suspects the "solution" is to split the docs into an arch:all package21:32
NCommanderHoonse: wifi on ARM is virtually untested21:33
NCommander(under Ubuntu)21:33
Hoonsethat means?21:33
NCommanderHoonse: there may be latent bugs that haven't been found; that being said, there might be issues with the beagle wifi hardware AFAIK21:33
persiaHoonse: That I'm the biggest user, and I run jaunty.21:33
NCommanderpersia: I can only use the porters box, no clean chroots. The imx51 board I'm SSH'ed into is grinding away at openoffice for at least another day21:33
persiaNCommander: Nevermind then.  I'll run it next time I can leave my netwalker plugged in for long enough (as I have pbuilder working there).21:34
NCommanderpersia: I just got new imx51 hardware today, but all the stuff I need to set it up is back in Rochester :-)21:35
persiaNo worries.  I'm just both impatient and wanting to take my hardware out and about in a couple hours :)21:35
NCommanderpersia: I look forward when I can do ARM porting on my laptop21:37
* NCommander might just buy a Dell netbook with one of those ARM chips and force Ubuntu ARM onto it if I could get the specs on the ARM SoC21:37
persiaYou can do some now: depends on the nature of the issue.21:37
persiaBut in this case, I'm dealing with a timing issue, which would benefit from real HW.21:38
persia(or at least it *looks* like a timing issue)21:38
persiaBut I think small servers are better than laptops for that sort of thing anyway, because one likes to suspend a laptop (otherwise I'd be building schroot now)21:38
NCommanderasac: ping?21:39
NCommanderer, wrong channel21:39
NCommanderpersia: any ideas on my dep issue?22:02
persiaNCommander: Most recent message: "E: Failed to process build dependencies"22:06
persiaThis is after manually installing phonon and libokular122:06
persiaErr, libokularcore122:06
persiaNCommander: I'm running into unexpected mono-related crashes, so I think I can't track it easily.22:09
persiaBut I'll admit to not understanding it.22:09
NCommanderpersia: so do I ping next?22:18
asacNCommander: did you ping me somewhere else too?22:20
persiaNCommander: Well, either give me time (I'm not at my best at this time of day unless I've only been awake for <5Ksec), or whine on kubuntu-devel and hope someone can sort it.  Personally, I think the main limit here is the relative lack of people with hardware.22:25
NCommanderpersia: its not a huge rush thing, I'll look at it more later, but I was wondering who else might know strange resolver bugs22:28
persiamvo is probably the expert, but I'm not sure he has an arm device.22:29
persiaBut it's mostly a case of just trying different installation combinations, and seeing what doesn't work.22:29
