Integrating 9load into the LinuxBIOS
D1114662405
Auriel (82.182.149.46)
#To make this sane we will show latest developments first.
#
#5/5/2003 What we're going to put in here now is the update of how
#the system works now. The base test hardware is the PCM-5923 from
#Advantech. We built a standard LinuxBIOS for this board that uses
#Etherboot to load the 9load image from Compact Flash. I can send you
#the flash ROMIMAGE on request so that rather than fool around with
#LinuxBIOS you can just use our image.
#
#We've had to make fixes to 9load and we are now trying to back those
#changes out as much as possible to minimize 9load variance.
#
#The parts you need to replicate our setup:
#
# *	[Advantech PCM-5823 |
#	http://www.advantech.com/products/Model_Detail.asp?model_id=1-D6M06&bu=Advantech PCM-5823]
# *	Any kind of Compact Flash > 1 MB in size
# *	Replacement flash part (SST 28SF040 is what we use)
# *	If you are building LinuxBIOS, a Linux box. If you are not, a way
#	to reprogram the FLASH and a copy of our flash image.
#
#If you just the flash image from us, we can also send the working
#9load image (which you burn onto the CF) and a working Plan 9 kernel
#image which you tftp download. This kernel knows how to use CMOS for
#its nvram.
#
#Base document follows:
#
#LinuxBIOS can load lots of different "payloads", i.e. ELF images in
#FLASH. In this document we will go over how we got 9load into FLASH,
#and thus made nodes that can boot as dedicated Plan 9 CPU nodes.
#
#NOTE: also check (http://www.acl.lanl.gov/plan9/flash/(broken
#link!)) for additional information!
#
#This documentation pertains to the setup, configuration and means of
#getting Plan 9 booted with LinuxBIOS. It consists of the following
#parts:
#
# *	0. Preamble
# *	1. Development setup -- getting started. file organization in
#	Plan9 and Linux
# *	2. Source code explanation -- diffs with 4th edition p9 source
#	with explanation
# *	3. Source code -- tarred & gzipped
#
#------------------------------------------------------ 
#PREAMBLE:
#
#This document discusses changes made to the source of Plan9 to get
#it going on at least one machine booted by LinuxBIOS. The goal of
#the project was to have a standalone Plan9 cpu server that neither
#had nor required moving parts. Most of this was accomplished with
#the help of Ron Minnich, without whose support and in-depth
#knowledge of computer hardware minions would still be scratching
#their head trying to find out why nothing happens after the kernel
#is downloaded...
#
#------------------------------------------------------ 
#1. DEVELOPMENT SETUP:
#
#For a succesfull modification to the source one needs to have access
#to the following:
#
# *	1.1 Plan9 network (including file servers, cpu servers and
#	terminals ([http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~mirtchov/lanlp9/])
# *	1.1.1 It is possible to work from a standalone P9 terminal,
#	though this setup would be trickier
# *	1.2 Plan9 source (usually comes with access to the P9 network
#	and/or a P9 installation)
# *	1.3 A Linux machine (used to compile the LinuxBIOS part)
# *	1.4 Some hardware that LinuxBIOS works with
# *	1.(5-9) Lots of patience
#
#Plan9 setup:
#
#The setup for P9 uses the fact that the operating system supports
#union directories. What that gives us is the ability to store only
#those files we modify in our local directory, and bind them when
#necessary on top of the standard kernel tree (in /sys/src/)... In
#fact this results in a carefully crafted namespace that could be
#used in a single terminal window (or, if so willing in an entire rio
#session on a cpu server) to present a decent development
#environment, while the rest of the screen, session or terminals keep
#the common, non-development view of the system. Ultimately this
#allows for several different developments to go on at the same time,
#(example will be shown in a bit) -- compiling kernels in one window,
#9load bootloaders in another window, while being able to see the
#normal, unmodified kernel tree in a third window for comparison. All
#in the same directory.
#
#How it actually works:
#
#In brief, LinuxBIOS starts up on the hardware, find and loads
#Plan9's bootloader (9load masked as an elf32 image so it can be
#recognized by LinuxBIOS), 9load then prompts for kernel or attempts
#to etherboot one, downloads it, uncompresses it and jumps to it.
#Voila.

#The script is a bit ugly, but we strive not for beauty... You'll

#! scp: can't wstat /386/9pcblah: wstat -- attempt to change qid.vers
#! fbsd$
#
#Ignore the error message if you see it... In this case, the dhcp
#server has been instructed to provide /386/9pcblah as the kernel to
#a bootp request from the machine we work with (based on that
#machine's ethernet address, ask dpx@acl for more details).
#
#NOTE: if you think that the 9load will work fine, just tell Ron to
#burn it in flash for you.. In this case you need to put the 9pccpu
#kernel in /386/9pcblah instead :)
#
#File organization:
#
#create a $home/src directory to store all the modified files in. the
#then in $home/src recreate all the directories present in /sys/src,
#which pertain in your current development. in my case it was
#/sys/src/9, /sys/src/boot, /sys/src/libauthconfig, and then
#recursively recreate all other directories present there. here's a
#real-life example:
#
#! p9% du /usr/andrey/src | awk '{print $2}'
#! /usr/andrey/src/9/pc
#! /usr/andrey/src/9/ip
#! /usr/andrey/src/9/alphapc
#! /usr/andrey/src/9/bitsy
#! /usr/andrey/src/9/boot
#! /usr/andrey/src/9/port
#! /usr/andrey/src/9/mtx
#! /usr/andrey/src/9
#! /usr/andrey/src/libauthsrv
#! /usr/andrey/src/boot/alphapc
#! /usr/andrey/src/boot/arm
#! /usr/andrey/src/boot/pc
#! /usr/andrey/src/boot
#! /usr/andrey/src/cmd/aux/vga
#! /usr/andrey/src/cmd/aux
#! /usr/andrey/src/cmd/auth/factotum
#! /usr/andrey/src/cmd/auth/lib
#! /usr/andrey/src/cmd/auth/secstore
#! /usr/andrey/src/cmd/auth
#! /usr/andrey/src/cmd
#! /usr/andrey/src
#! p9%
#
#Then if you want to edit /sys/src/9/pc/pci.c just do:
#
#! cp /sys/src/9/pc/pci.c $home/src/9/pc/pci.c
#
#Scripts:
#
#Several scripts are used to automate the binding process and to make
#your life easier. Remember that after the boot-up the machine is in
#a non-development state, i.e. it does not know that you have made
#any modification to the kernel source -- you have to tell it to
#change the namespace accordingly, so that when you type 'mk' in
#/sys/src/9/pc it will compile your own files instead of somebody
#else's... The scripts will do the modification to the namespace for
#you, just execute them before you start working on the code (think
#of it as a 'start your engines' of some sort). Here are the scripts
#(they differ because one does binding of the $home/src/9 as the
#kernel tree -- something I use for writing drivers to support
#several graphics cards, i.e. non-LinuxBIOS kernels) and the other
#binds $home/src/linuxbios/ which is the same as $home/src/9, but the
#files therein are LinuxBIOS-related. Copy those files in
#$home/bin/rc and chmod 755 them:
#
#! p9% cat /usr/andrey/bin/rc/kbind
#! #!/bin/rc
#! # this does bindings for the non-linuxbios kernel sources
#! # and the 9load linuxbios sources

#Linux:
#
#Here you'll need ron's help! CVS update the latest from the freebios
#distribution, then guntar the mkelf.tgz file included, then get Ron
#to make LinuxBIOS proper so you can combine it with 9loadlb... I
#pretty much know nothing about this process. As far as I am
#concerned I may as well be sitting around waving a chicket at the
#screen while Ron does everything... After the setup, just use the
#'mymk' script as above and enjoy :)

#------------------------------------------------------ 
#2. SOURCE CODE DIFFS WITH EXPLANATIONS:
#
#/sys/src/boot/pc/mkfile -- the file was changed to accomodate my
#Plan9 endeavours. a new target was added, namely the 9loadlb
#linuxbios-enabled kernel. the difference is that the linuxbios code
#is #ifdef-ed LinuxBios:
#
#! p9% diff boot/pc/mkfile /sys/src/boot/pc/mkfile
#! 7d6
#! < 9loadlb\
#! 95,98d93
#! < 9loadlb: ll.$O $CORE $LOAD $ETHER

#! 118,120d112
#! <
#! < ll.$O: l.s
#! < $AS -DLinuxBios -o ll.$O l.s
#! p9%
#
#/sys/src/boot/pc/l.s -- the real mode code is commented out (rather,
#ifdef'd), 9load is entered in protected mode. code is added to load
#the GDT. some attempts to fix the IRQ routing problem but nothing is
#tested extensively. we ended up chasing a bug for a long time with:
#
#! MOV AX, SS
#
#and ended up fixing it somewhat miraculously. it never appears in
#normal bios boots...
#
#stuff like:
#
#! MOVL $0x80, DX
#! MOVB $0x19, AL
#! OUTB

#Post-Card debugging! It's the most fun you can have without having
#to go outside and exercise!
