usb boot issue
by Marc Jones 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

I'm having a problem with booting a usb flash key that worked previously in version 0.6.2. The USB device is identified but then gets a read error when booting from it. This is the Persimmon, sb800 platform. Any thoughts on what might have changed to cause this? Marc -- http://se-eng.com

The information is there already, no need for addition PV here. Jan -- Siemens AG, Corporate Technology, CT T DE IT 1 Corporate Competence Center Embedded Linux

When rebooting after a CPU hotplug in qemu-kvm, Seabios can get stuck in smp_probe(). Normally cmos_smp_count is read from cmos and the smp_ap_boot_code is run on all cpus except bootstrap. The expected result is CountCPUs == cmos_smp_count + 1. After a cpu hotplug, more than cmos_smp_count cpus are active, so we get a situation where CountCPUs > cmos_smp_count + 1 and Seabios keeps looping forever in smp_probe. In some cases, the while loop exit condition is tested before CountCPUs gets larger (i.e. before smp_ap_boot_code runs on all CPUs), so the hang is not always reproducible. This patch introduces a new fw_cfg variable called hotplugged_cpus that gets updated from qemu-kvm hoplug code. Seabios reads this variable on each call to smp_probe() and adjusts the expected number of online CPUs. The qemu-kvm part of this patch is against Jan Kiszka's cpu-hotplug tree: git://git.kiszka.org/qemu-kvm.git queues/cpu-hotplug tested with qemu-system-x86_64. An alternative to this patch would be to update the smp_cpus variable in qemu-kvm and do a "cmos update" to 0x5f from the cpu-hotplug code. Access to the rtc_state (cmos device) would be required in hw/acpi_piix4.c. This way no change to Seabios would be required. --- hw/acpi_piix4.c | 6 ++++++ hw/fw_cfg.c | 14 ++++++++++++++ hw/fw_cfg.h | 2 ++ hw/loader.c | 2 +- sysemu.h | 1 + vl.c | 1 + 6 files changed, 25 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/hw/acpi_piix4.c b/hw/acpi_piix4.c index bbb9edd..54d98ae 100644 --- a/hw/acpi_piix4.c +++ b/hw/acpi_piix4.c @@ -24,6 +24,7 @@ #include "sysemu.h" #include "range.h" #include "ioport.h" +#include "fw_cfg.h" //#define DEBUG @@ -539,6 +540,7 @@ static void pcirmv_write(void *opaque, uint32_t addr, uint32_t val) } extern const char *global_cpu_model;
