About the kernel of Loongson 2F machine

I just found that, it is actually very easy to trigger the problem that the -mfix-ls2f-kernel as option could fix. Like just emerging glibc could hang the system. So if you are using linux-loongson/2.6.30/stable branch from this git tree http://dev.lemote.com/git?p=rt4ls.git;a=summary, you maybe want to line 129 of arch/mips/Makefile: $(call cc-option,-march=loongson2f,-march=r4600) $(call cc-optoin,-mtune=loongson2f) to $(call cc-option,-march=loongson2f,-march=r4600) $(call as-option,-Wa$(comma)-mfix-ls2f-kernel,) Actually, $(call cc-optoin,-mtune=loongson2f) here is not required. BTW, glibc-2.10.1 is ready in my overlay. This version could solve the gdb issue: Error while reading shared library symbols: find_new_threads_callback: cannot get thread info: generic error find_new_threads_callback: cannot get thread info: generic error This happened previously when debugging multithread applications.

More on Yeeloong status

I have not blogged here for some time. But that does not necessarily mean I am slacking, ;). Instead I have been doing things. I should've blogged more. http://www.gentoo-cn.org/gitweb/?p=loongson.git;a=shortlog Redhatter posted two blogs related to Yeeloong's status. I guess I should say something too. First of all, I recommend this mailing list http://groups.google.com/group/loongson-dev to those who want to know the latest news about Loongson. If you want to try Gentoo on Yeeloong, you can take this http://www.gentoo-cn.org/~zhangle/loongson_mips3_n32_mplt_20081231.tar.bz2 The file's sha256sum is c94bcd45e58e5f4b8314942a6b3110a2316fd74adb009c8269d1e8e2077d7c72. Please note the userland is N32 ABI, meaning there may be more problems than in O32. But I should've already solved many of them for you. I have been working on Fuloong 2E/2F and Yeeloong's support, particularly N32 ABI system. Firefox is just one example. I have 3 Loongson machines, all donated by lemot
