*** Get rid of executable stack, maybe use gateway page instead for signal returns?
 +
*** Review gettimeofday and clock_gettime() implementation, possibly use a light-weight-syscall and rely on cr16 and cpu speed for more accurate timing? similiar to commit http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=18ad51dd342a7eb09dbcd059d0b451b616d4dafc
 +
* STARTED: convert old-style rtc driver drivers/input/misc/hp_sdc_rtc.c to new RTC model, remove the procfs and miscdevice interfaces first and replace the ioctl with a struct rtc_class_ops. Arnd Bergmann can review those patches, but Alexandre and Alessandro are the ones who would merge them once the driver is moved to drivers/rtc. (Mail from Arnd Bergmann, 28.04.2016) - see https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10701397/

 +
* Add some cond_resched() calls to avoid RCU stalls, see commit 2a8bc5316adc998951e8f726c31e231a6021eae2
 +
* MAYBE: Implement DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS in kernel (Complaint from Linus)
 +
* Fix kernel to load -fpie compiled programs not at 0x400000 (ELF_ET_DYN_BASE, e.g. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/?h=linux-4.9.y&id=abb79a56898e044715d8efd07bc1902d27a94870)
 +
* gcc optimizations:
 +
** _mcount can be optimized (smaller) by not subtracting offset)
 +
** check if we can use -fentry from gcc for _mcount optimization
 +
** put PLABELS into read-only section (gcc function pa_reloc_rw_mask() needs modification, see "section mismatches" mails, 11.09.2017)
 +
* Enable BlockTLB on PA1.x for STI framebuffer (see block tlb info in sti.pdf documentation) and ftp://parisc.parisc-linux.org/docs/pdc32.pdf
 +

* debian parisc perl bug (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=721537) shows that mmap on parisc linux is horribly inefficient.  We allocate huge maps for small files.

*** Solution: Rebuild ffmpeg outside the buildd (as some dependencies have probably been deleted) and upload a +b1 version. Then trigger bin-nmu of phonon package.

*** Another issue that I have been wondering about is the performance of our kernel spinlock code.  PA 8800 and PA 8900 processors have a cache line length of 128 bytes.  I believe thereare some places where we assume 64 bytes.  We also allocate spinlocks on 16 byte boundaries. We might get better performance if we allocated on 32 (PA 1.X) and 128 (PA 2.0).  Helge: change: __PA_LDCW_ALIGNMENT

*** I've also seen that better performance may be obtained by doing a byte store to spinlock prior to ldcw.  This dirties the cache line and allows operation in cache in certain situations. I think this mainly applies to PA 1.X but I'm not sure.  I have some example code somewhere. Helge:  change struct arch_spinlock_t; in spinlock_types.h

QEMU:
* We dropped HP-UX support in kernel 3.14 by changing EWOULDBLOCK==EAGAIN. (I believe we should pull the plug on HP-UX entirely.  If there ever was enough interest, It should be supported in a VM.  Machines are relatively cheap now.  So, if someone needs hpux, they can buy a machine for it.) We have a more diverse user space under Linux and I believe in supporting open source, so we should focus on it -> http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f5a408d53edef3af07ac7697b8bc54a755628450

PA-RISC Linux TODO (actually this is Helge's TODO list)

Status & TODO 2021-04-30

  • Kernel: still missing Linux kernel development (no patches available yet):
    • maybe implement transparent huge pages (due to cache coherency technically only possible on PA8500-PA8700 CPUs, not possible on PA8800-PA8900 CPUs)
    • optimize flush_dcache_page() implementation like sparc. See Documentation/cachetlb.txt, e.g. used in aio subsystem
    • NO_IRQ -> should be converted to (0) instead of (-1) -> Helge (check assembly, check in drivers/parisc/*)
    • check assembly in drivers/parisc/*
    • use pdc_add_valid() in kern_addr_valid(), protect against crashable acesses (like for superio-pc-drivers-detection in lp), add pdc_add_valid() to create a probe_kernel_read() implementation.
    • arch/parisc/kernel/sys_parisc.c -> use SYSCALL_ALIAS() -> maybe
  • Kernel: Low priority patches needs further work
    • disable FP-register save/restore at kernel entry? - https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/3975291/
    • enable 16k/64k kernel page sizes (still cacheflushing-issues with SCSI driver, additional work in glibc needed to deal with >4k page size, e.g. ld-loader alignments of data/code segments)
    • Superdome support - can someone test? Should work better now with latest kernels (maybe ask Dennis Clarke <dclarke@blastwave.org>, Jan 2019).
    • Visualize FX support (will probably never happen!)
    • implement BUG() and WARN() with inline assembly so that interrupt happens in delay branch of "or,<> %r0,cond,%r0". Probably not possible, because gcc will report "control reaches end of non-void function" warnings/errors.
  • 64-bit userspace support (from Dave Anglin, Nick Hudson):
    • 64-bit userspace, Binutils 64-bit binutils needs to be fixed to get multiple stub section support.
    • glibc port (hppa64 can use the generic thread code)
    • 64-bit support in gcc is probably pretty good as 64-bit HP-UX works fine.
    • gdb could be a problem due to a lack of a maintainer.
  • Debian packages / Userspace work
    • IMPORTANT: fix OpenJDK - fixes required in zeroport (stack grows up!).
    • gcc -> join 32- and 64bit compiler, make "-m64" work, get rid of hppa64-linux-gnu-gcc
  • userspace
  • palo (PA-RISC Boot Loader):
    • Fix palo deb package to build iplboot natively (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=851792)
    • Palo needs better user interaction instead of "0", "1".... Howtos.
    • Modify (if possible), that palo can read (sequential) tftpbootable-vmlinuxes as well as the current boot-vmlinux images (simplifies build/handling)

ABI breakages (e.g. dropped HP-UX support)

Considerations between Debian unstable and Debian Jessie release

Jessie was not stable on SMP machines, particularly those with PA8800/PA8900 processors. It's recommended to use kernel 4.4.15 or later. The current default gcc for unstable is gcc 5.4. Most hppa fixes have been back ported to 4.9 but not all. It shouldn't hurt to use binutils from unstable. Debian glibc 2.23 is best. Most old packages should still work although there maybe inequivalent aliasing issues which are relevant on PA8800. There's also a nasty issue with gmon_start being in every shared library in Jessie. This caused a few headaches and potentially breaks applications when it's removed from a library. If you stick with the glibc in Jessie, multithreaded applications may not work as well as they could, but maybe that's not important. The kernel update is the most important one. Since hppa moved to ports, there has been a huge number of bug fixes. System stability is dramatically improved and I believe more packages are available than ever before. It's better to run unstable and just be selective about running "apt-get upgrade". (by Dave Anglin)
