Hello,
The list seems to have been rather silent recently. But in case there
are still readers out there I am pleased to announce initial success with
porting TURBOchannel support to the VAXstation 4000/90 equipped with the
DWCTX adapter. A moderately easy addition of this support has been
enabled by the recent rewrite of the TURBOchannel bus support to the
driver model which is as of 2.6.21-rc1 available upstream now. Here is a
bootstrap log from my system using a PMAD-A Ethernet adapter for the
interface used for NFS-root. This board uses PIO transactions only, but
my experiments with some other boards show DMA works correctly as well.
Unfortunately the DMA API is currently unsupported, so using a card like
one of the DEFTA variations is not possible out of the box.
Comments are welcome, especially ones to provide incentive for more work
in this area. ;-)

This is the beta release of binutils 2.17.50.0.16 for Linux, which is
based on binutils 2007 0511 in CVS on sourceware.org plus various
changes. It is purely for Linux.
All relevant patches in patches have been applied to the source tree.
You can take a look at patches/README to see what have been applied and
in what order they have been applied.
Starting from the 2.17.50.0.4 release, the default output section LMA
(load memory address) has changed for allocatable sections from being
equal to VMA (virtual memory address), to keeping the difference between
LMA and VMA the same as the previous output section in the same region.
For
data.init_task : { *(.data.init_task) }
LMA of .data.init_task section is equal to its VMA with the old linker.
With the new linker, it depends on the previous output section. You
can use
data.init_task : AT (ADDR(.data.init_task)) { *(.data.init_task) }
to ensure that LMA of .data.init_task section is always equal to its
VMA. The linker script in the older 2.6 x86-64 kernel depends on the
old behavior. You can add AT (ADDR(section)) to force LMA of
data.init_task section equal to its VMA. It will work with both old
and new linkers. The x86-64 kernel linker script in kernel 2.6.13 and
above is OK.
The new x86_64 assembler no longer accepts
monitor %eax,%ecx,%edx
You should use
monitor %rax,%ecx,%edx
or
monitor
which works with both old and new x86_64 assemblers. They should
generate the same opcode.
The new i386/x86_64 assemblers no longer accept instructions for moving
between a segment register and a 32bit memory location, i.e.,
movl (%eax),%ds
movl %ds,(%eax)
To generate instructions for moving between a segment register and a
16bit memory location without the 16bit operand size prefix, 0x66,
mov (%eax),%ds
mov %ds,(%eax)
should be used. It will work with both new and old assemblers. The
assembler starting from 2.16.90.0.1 will also support
movw (%eax),%ds
movw %ds,(%eax)
without the 0x66 prefix. Patches for 2.4 and 2.6 Linux kernels are
available at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/linux-2.4-seg-4.patch
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/linux-2.6-seg-5.patch
The ia64 assembler is now defaulted to tune for Itanium 2 processors.
To build a kernel for Itanium 1 processors, you will need to add
ifeq ($(CONFIG_ITANIUM),y)
CFLAGS += -Wa,-mtune=itanium1
AFLAGS += -Wa,-mtune=itanium1
endif
to arch/ia64/Makefile in your kernel source tree.

This is the beta release of binutils 2.17.50.0.15 for Linux, which is
based on binutils 2007 0418 in CVS on sourceware.org plus various
changes. It is purely for Linux.
All relevant patches in patches have been applied to the source tree.
You can take a look at patches/README to see what have been applied and
in what order they have been applied.
Starting from the 2.17.50.0.4 release, the default output section LMA
(load memory address) has changed for allocatable sections from being
equal to VMA (virtual memory address), to keeping the difference between
LMA and VMA the same as the previous output section in the same region.
For
data.init_task : { *(.data.init_task) }
LMA of .data.init_task section is equal to its VMA with the old linker.
With the new linker, it depends on the previous output section. You
can use
data.init_task : AT (ADDR(.data.init_task)) { *(.data.init_task) }
to ensure that LMA of .data.init_task section is always equal to its
VMA. The linker script in the older 2.6 x86-64 kernel depends on the
old behavior. You can add AT (ADDR(section)) to force LMA of
data.init_task section equal to its VMA. It will work with both old
and new linkers. The x86-64 kernel linker script in kernel 2.6.13 and
above is OK.
The new x86_64 assembler no longer accepts
monitor %eax,%ecx,%edx
You should use
monitor %rax,%ecx,%edx
or
monitor
which works with both old and new x86_64 assemblers. They should
generate the same opcode.
The new i386/x86_64 assemblers no longer accept instructions for moving
between a segment register and a 32bit memory location, i.e.,
movl (%eax),%ds
movl %ds,(%eax)
To generate instructions for moving between a segment register and a
16bit memory location without the 16bit operand size prefix, 0x66,
mov (%eax),%ds
mov %ds,(%eax)
should be used. It will work with both new and old assemblers. The
assembler starting from 2.16.90.0.1 will also support
movw (%eax),%ds
movw %ds,(%eax)
without the 0x66 prefix. Patches for 2.4 and 2.6 Linux kernels are
available at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/linux-2.4-seg-4.patch
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/linux-2.6-seg-5.patch
The ia64 assembler is now defaulted to tune for Itanium 2 processors.
To build a kernel for Itanium 1 processors, you will need to add
ifeq ($(CONFIG_ITANIUM),y)
CFLAGS += -Wa,-mtune=itanium1
AFLAGS += -Wa,-mtune=itanium1
endif
to arch/ia64/Makefile in your kernel source tree.

This is the beta release of binutils 2.17.50.0.14 for Linux, which is
based on binutils 2007 0322 in CVS on sourceware.org plus various
changes. It is purely for Linux.
All relevant patches in patches have been applied to the source tree.
You can take a look at patches/README to see what have been applied and
in what order they have been applied.
Starting from the 2.17.50.0.4 release, the default output section LMA
(load memory address) has changed for allocatable sections from being
equal to VMA (virtual memory address), to keeping the difference between
LMA and VMA the same as the previous output section in the same region.
For
data.init_task : { *(.data.init_task) }
LMA of .data.init_task section is equal to its VMA with the old linker.
With the new linker, it depends on the previous output section. You
can use
data.init_task : AT (ADDR(.data.init_task)) { *(.data.init_task) }
to ensure that LMA of .data.init_task section is always equal to its
VMA. The linker script in the older 2.6 x86-64 kernel depends on the
old behavior. You can add AT (ADDR(section)) to force LMA of
data.init_task section equal to its VMA. It will work with both old
and new linkers. The x86-64 kernel linker script in kernel 2.6.13 and
above is OK.
The new x86_64 assembler no longer accepts
monitor %eax,%ecx,%edx
You should use
monitor %rax,%ecx,%edx
or
monitor
which works with both old and new x86_64 assemblers. They should
generate the same opcode.
The new i386/x86_64 assemblers no longer accept instructions for moving
between a segment register and a 32bit memory location, i.e.,
movl (%eax),%ds
movl %ds,(%eax)
To generate instructions for moving between a segment register and a
16bit memory location without the 16bit operand size prefix, 0x66,
mov (%eax),%ds
mov %ds,(%eax)
should be used. It will work with both new and old assemblers. The
assembler starting from 2.16.90.0.1 will also support
movw (%eax),%ds
movw %ds,(%eax)
without the 0x66 prefix. Patches for 2.4 and 2.6 Linux kernels are
available at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/linux-2.4-seg-4.patch
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/linux-2.6-seg-5.patch
The ia64 assembler is now defaulted to tune for Itanium 2 processors.
To build a kernel for Itanium 1 processors, you will need to add
ifeq ($(CONFIG_ITANIUM),y)
CFLAGS += -Wa,-mtune=itanium1
AFLAGS += -Wa,-mtune=itanium1
endif
to arch/ia64/Makefile in your kernel source tree.

Hello All , I just came accross this (again) . The project was quite
hopeful back just before the vax's all went the way of the dodo bird .
Maybe there'd be some usable code & what not here .

This is the beta release of binutils 2.17.50.0.13 for Linux, which is
based on binutils 2007 0315 in CVS on sourceware.org plus various
changes. It is purely for Linux.
All relevant patches in patches have been applied to the source tree.
You can take a look at patches/README to see what have been applied and
in what order they have been applied.
Starting from the 2.17.50.0.4 release, the default output section LMA
(load memory address) has changed for allocatable sections from being
equal to VMA (virtual memory address), to keeping the difference between
LMA and VMA the same as the previous output section in the same region.
For
data.init_task : { *(.data.init_task) }
LMA of .data.init_task section is equal to its VMA with the old linker.
With the new linker, it depends on the previous output section. You
can use
data.init_task : AT (ADDR(.data.init_task)) { *(.data.init_task) }
to ensure that LMA of .data.init_task section is always equal to its
VMA. The linker script in the older 2.6 x86-64 kernel depends on the
old behavior. You can add AT (ADDR(section)) to force LMA of
data.init_task section equal to its VMA. It will work with both old
and new linkers. The x86-64 kernel linker script in kernel 2.6.13 and
above is OK.
The new x86_64 assembler no longer accepts
monitor %eax,%ecx,%edx
You should use
monitor %rax,%ecx,%edx
or
monitor
which works with both old and new x86_64 assemblers. They should
generate the same opcode.
The new i386/x86_64 assemblers no longer accept instructions for moving
between a segment register and a 32bit memory location, i.e.,
movl (%eax),%ds
movl %ds,(%eax)
To generate instructions for moving between a segment register and a
16bit memory location without the 16bit operand size prefix, 0x66,
mov (%eax),%ds
mov %ds,(%eax)
should be used. It will work with both new and old assemblers. The
assembler starting from 2.16.90.0.1 will also support
movw (%eax),%ds
movw %ds,(%eax)
without the 0x66 prefix. Patches for 2.4 and 2.6 Linux kernels are
available at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/linux-2.4-seg-4.patch
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/devel/binutils/linux-2.6-seg-5.patch
The ia64 assembler is now defaulted to tune for Itanium 2 processors.
To build a kernel for Itanium 1 processors, you will need to add
ifeq ($(CONFIG_ITANIUM),y)
CFLAGS += -Wa,-mtune=itanium1
AFLAGS += -Wa,-mtune=itanium1
endif
to arch/ia64/Makefile in your kernel source tree.

Hi!
In the past, the kernel-v25-commit list accepted emails being sent
from my kernel.org account. These days SF.net seems to no longer
accept them:

Will keep trying until message is 2 weeks old
Since, in theory, we abuse the old CVS commit mailing list, maybe we'd
just place a new commit list on pergamentum.com?
