[ Upstream commit bebe35bb738b573c32a5033499cd59f20293f2a3 ] I still have some Soekris net4826 in a Community Wireless Network I volunteer with. These devices use an AMD SC1100 SoC. I am running OpenWrt on them, which uses a patched kernel, that naturally has evolved over time. I haven't updated the ones in the field in a number of years (circa 2017), but have one in a test bed, where I have intermittently tried out test builds. A few years ago, I noticed some trouble, particularly when "warm booting", that is, doing a reboot without removing power, and noticed the device was hanging after the kernel message: [ 0.081615] Working around Cyrix MediaGX virtual DMA bugs. If I removed power and then restarted, it would boot fine, continuing through the message above, thusly: [ 0.081615] Working around Cyrix MediaGX virtual DMA bugs. [ 0.090076] Enable Memory-Write-back mode on Cyrix/NSC processor. [ 0.100000] Enable Memory access reorder on Cyrix/NSC processor. [ 0.100070] Last level iTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0 [ 0.110058] Last level dTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0, 1GB 0 [ 0.120037] CPU: NSC Geode(TM) Integrated Processor by National Semi (family: 0x5, model: 0x9, stepping: 0x1) [...] In order to continue using modern tools, like ssh, to interact with the software on these old devices, I need modern builds of the OpenWrt firmware on the devices. I confirmed that the warm boot hang was still an issue in modern OpenWrt builds (currently using a patched linux v6.6.65). Last night, I decided it was time to get to the bottom of the warm boot hang, and began bisecting. From preserved builds, I narrowed down the bisection window from late February to late May 2019. During this period, the OpenWrt builds were using 4.14.x. I was able to build using period-correct Ubuntu 18.04.6. After a number of bisection iterations, I identified a kernel bump from 4.14.112 to 4.14.113 as the commit that introduced the warm boot hang. |
