Since this domU as a svn -head checkout from 23.01.09 still segfaults here and there i startet to rebuild the whole world with debugging symbols in the hope that the backtraces give more info's on where to find bugs. Here are the first results from several core files which hang around in the system after a world build and i hope the developers here can make more sense out of it than me. If you need further dumps/traces or have some advises how to go on from here, please let me know!

It took me quite some time to find a solution that helped for me: - activate the independent_wallclock in domO by 'sysctl xen.independent_wallclock=1' - edit and configure '/etc/ntpd.conf' in domU - edit '/etc/rc.conf' and add the following lines # NTP stuff ntpdate_enable="YES" ntpdate_flags="-b " ntpd_enable="YES" - reboot domU If you try it on your problem, could you please give me some feedback if it worked? -- Mr. Olli Am Freitag, den 30.01.2009, 03:53 +0100 schrieb Julian Stecklina: > Hello, > > on my FreeBSD 8-CURRENT Xen DomU printing `date' each second gives me > this: > > Sun Jan 25 00:55:12 UTC 2009 > Sun Jan 25 00:55:13 UTC 2009 > Sun Jan 25 00:55:14 UTC 2009 > Sun Jan 25 00:49:50 UTC 2009 > Sun Jan 25 00:49:51 UTC 2009 > Sun Jan 25 00:49:52 UTC 2009 > Sun Jan 25 00:49:53 UTC 2009 > Sun Jan 25 00:49:55 UTC 2009 > Sun Jan 25 00:49:56 UTC 2009 > Sun Jan 25 00:49:57 UTC 2009 > Sun Jan 25 00:49:58 UTC 2009 > Sun Jan 25 00:49:59 UTC 2009 > Sun Jan 25 00:50:00 UTC 2009 > Sun Jan 25 00:50:01 UTC 2009 > Sun Jan 25 00:50:02 UTC 2009 > ... 8 mins pass ... > Sun Jan 25 00:58:25 UTC 2009 > Sun Jan 25 00:58:26 UTC 2009 > Sun Jan 25 00:58:27 UTC 2009 > Sun Jan 25 00:49:49 UTC 2009 > Sun Jan 25 00:49:50 UTC 2009 > > It should increase every second, shouldn't it? ;) > > MfG, From owner-freebsd-xen@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jan 30 03:23:13 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-xen@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 09B23106566C for ; Fri, 30 Jan 2009 03:23:13 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from gofx-freebsd-xen@m.gmane.org) Received: from ciao.gmane.org (main.gmane.org [80.91.229.2]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B678E8FC0C for ; Fri, 30 Jan 2009 03:23:12 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from gofx-freebsd-xen@m.gmane.org) Received: from list by ciao.gmane.org with local (Exim 4.43) id 1LSjyI-00072Q-49 for freebsd-xen@freebsd.org; Fri, 30 Jan 2009 03:23:10 +0000 Received: from 77.64.176.217 ([77.64.176.217]) by main.gmane.org with esmtp (Gmexim 0.1 (Debian)) id 1AlnuQ-0007hv-00 for ; Fri, 30 Jan 2009 03:23:10 +0000 Received: from js by 77.64.176.217 with local (Gmexim 0.1 (Debian)) id 1AlnuQ-0007hv-00 for ; Fri, 30 Jan 2009 03:23:10 +0000 X-Injected-Via-Gmane: http://gmane.org/ To: freebsd-xen@freebsd.org From: Julian Stecklina Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2009 04:22:59 +0100 Lines: 18 Message-ID: <871vul1nqk.fsf@tabernacle.localnet> References: <87ocxp1tym.fsf@tabernacle.localnet> <1233285247.24925.4.camel@phoenix.blechhirn.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Complaints-To: usenet@ger.gmane.org X-Gmane-NNTP-Posting-Host: 77.64.176.217 X-Archive: encrypt User-Agent: Gnus/5.1008 (Gnus v5.10.8) Cancel-Lock: sha1:IiOMoiGaa79bQAGF6uiSpg5UVgo= Sender: news Subject: Re: kern.hz = 10 X-BeenThere: freebsd-xen@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Discussion of the freebsd port to xen - implementation and usage List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 30 Jan 2009 03:23:13 -0000 Mister Olli writes: > Hi, > > I've never experimented with the kern.hz variable, but on all > configuration examples for 8-CURRENT if always seen 'kern.hz=100'. > >>From where did you get your configuration?

Due to bad performance of high HZ in VMs, in 8-CURRENT it is explicitly reduced to 10 if the kernel is running under any kind of virtual environment. This is a somewhat theoretical number and probably needs tuning. If you're interested in trying it out, you can increase it by adding "kern.hz=xxx" to /boot/loader.conf and seeing what is the actual performance influence of high HZ under Xen.

Strange. I just copied over your times to show the pattern it moves in ;-)) The time to which it jumps back is usually around the time I created the domU, and time ticks only 15min forward at max, until a jump back in time happens. -- Mr. Olli From owner-freebsd-xen@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Jan 30 12:53:26 2009 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-xen@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 123AE1065672 for ; Fri, 30 Jan 2009 12:53:26 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from mister.olli@googlemail.com) Received: from mu-out-0910.google.com (mu-out-0910.google.com [209.85.134.185]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8A01C8FC16 for ; Fri, 30 Jan 2009 12:53:25 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from mister.olli@googlemail.com) Received: by mu-out-0910.google.com with SMTP id i2so391174mue.3 for ; Fri, 30 Jan 2009 04:53:24 -0800 (PST) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=googlemail.com; s=gamma; h=domainkey-signature:received:received:subject:from:reply-to:to:cc :in-reply-to:references:content-type:date:message-id:mime-version :x-mailer:content-transfer-encoding; bh=pJUFS7WpGs+0Ie79//7TxABba2Gtf0sGc9uyewFK8u4=; b=rQxB1Edb03TvqhLt0eRkhaIWWMvJ6tJPH/ColpqGxMF0cnJcNeaRFjwv39yxpUTbg2 I9FWcgL7H5RsgU/BInIZUlbKyziq44S7GfI/RyCwOn1XdCuzSzcKcsBv4yBsOFPiz9Tq rVWgeMk/g4zYuFqPoi7RQLK1F6rImdvt0t5No= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=googlemail.com; s=gamma; h=subject:from:reply-to:to:cc:in-reply-to:references:content-type :date:message-id:mime-version:x-mailer:content-transfer-encoding; b=otLd7obneEnh3sJdNL9TKojQtqgfL3ILxc4yt7uaq2zRxBwwlZkVvyfi9QhrhaRdte Bu+jQZOo/9lSlL4pZ1Gtpsy1B6KOWjRDpDrhhkFjsUvrWF0tRsL1O6DTzav3dGWB7lH0 67c8cOK6h56A4JXcNowc6c1X1DYTpqWpvWNtw= Received: by 10.103.92.10 with SMTP id u10mr570281mul.22.1233320004394; Fri, 30 Jan 2009 04:53:24 -0800 (PST) Received: from ?10.30.1.130?

If you're interested in testing, here's what you should do: 1. compile a 8-CURRENT kernel without debugging (WITNESS, INVARIANTS & their support kernel options) 2. compile a 8-CURRENT world without malloc debugging (see http://wiki.freebsd.org/DefaultDebuggingKnobs) 3. run some repeatable tests - I'd suggest some file system benchmarks on a RAM (md) drive, see http://man.freebsd.org/md like bonnie++ and blogbench and some network tests with iperf 4. change HZ in loader.conf and test again, in exactly the same way as before (in 3.) Benchmarks that are not repeatable are useless. Repeatable means by you (so e.g. the host machine must be in the same state - no additional programs running, etc., see http://wiki.freebsd.org/BenchmarkAdvice) and by others when following your steps exactly.

I have set up Slackware Linux 12.0 as dom0 (Xen 3.3.1, Linux 2.6.18.8, built from source) and I'm playing with FreeBSD as a domU. It's currently, due to some circumstances, not possible for me to install FreeBSD to a separate partition(s), so I'm using a file-backed VBD. Kernel and filesystem images are those from http://www.fsmware.com/xenofreebsd/7.0/download/ and they work perfectly. However, the filesystem image contains only the basic stuff, and I need a few more packages (e.g. newer gcc version, X11 etc.). I don't have access to any other FreeBSD system so I can't copy necessary files, build 8.0-CURRENT etc. Is it possible to install FreeBSD from an installation media directly to the filesystem image on disk?

If the image you downloaded contains the whole FreeBSD "base" system, simply install whatever you need like on a normal system. See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ for details. (Note that, for example, the system compiler - gcc - is a part of the base system and you cannot upgrade it as you would on Linux).
