kernel

I find a consistent problem with my laptop whenever I run cheese, the screen will turn black and I'll look into the logs and get this following message: Feb 8 21:53:43 Dell kernel: error: [drm:pid12:i915_hangcheck_hung] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung Feb 8 21:53:43 Dell kernel...

Since its introduction in 2009, the vesa.ko kernel module contains a bug, presumably of the category "use of uninitialized data structures". This bug prevents the system resuming correctly on systems with nvidia graphics card and using the sc console in text mode. To build+install a custom...

Hello,I have been trying to get clinfo to display my GPU correctly. Currently it displays: clGetDeviceIDs(NULL, CL_DEVICE_TYPE_ALL, ...) No devices found in platform [Clover?] At first I tried loading the Radeon GPU DRM radeonkms.ko but when I try to load it I get a fatal trap 12 page fault...

I'm trying to build the FreeBSD STABLE-13 kernel, but it errors out in various ways all relating to invocations of kmalloc I'm running an older version of CURRENT-13 /usr/src/sys/compat/linuxkpi/common/include/linux/string.h:122:11: error: implicit declaration of 'kmalloc' errors in...

Hi all, I've spent about a week learning and using the DTrace framework and it has worked fantastic. I have also become increasingly familiar with FreeBSD (specifically the kernel) over the last couple of months, but I realize I might still be unaware about a lot of things, so forgive any...

Can I build a kernel and world in a poudriere jail? Is there a kernel and world port ? Or how to do ?

I'm just starting kernel development ( custom kernels, drivers, patching and etc... ) and i'd like to find a good tutorial of how to setup and environment for FreeBSD Kernel Development. For instance, executing custom code on a live kernel as well as debugging. Will I actually need two machines...

I read a lot about L4 microkernels recently and I found that seL4 is the only kernel that has a formal verification, which sounds pretty impressive. Somebody already ported OpenBSD to L4 many years ago, so it is not impossible to do it with BSD systems. As far as I understand from security and...

Hello, Still learning the ins and outs of FreeBSD, so please keep that in mind. :-) I'm happy to read whatever manual that might help with this, but my searches have not turned up anything that is helpful. I have a server at home running FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p3 GENERIC amd64. It is mainly just...

###Here is the errors I am getting. Below the error is the code I wrote, any help would be incredibly appreciated.!! Thanks! Can someone explained by I am getting implicit warning for malloc and Malloc_Define, I included the header files. I also would like to know how to fix the errors ...

I am new to freebsd, just imported #include <sys/systm.h> errors Not find uintfptr_t Intrmask_t definitions, Do yall know what else I need to include or change? n file included from main.c:4: /usr/include/sys/systm.h:419:39: error: unknown type name 'uintfptr_t'; did you mean...

Interestingly I have been struck by the same issue that is always only referenced for ThinkPad users, although I don't have a ThinkPad but a Clevo N130WU (which is quite a common laptop known around the world under different brands). I could only get resume from suspend-to-RAM working by first...

At the link you can find a fotograph of the kernel crash, it could not even been dumped or a continue; a restart helped, but after 10 minutes the same story. I guess its virbr0-interface when you disable option HYPERV in kernel configuration. to make a long story short: rvc_start < rvc_end...

Or, having an out-of-tree (i.e. not in /usr/src/sys) custom FreeBSD kernel module, how one can specify a kernel configuration, like GENERIC, the module shall be built against? Here is a very small kernel module that can be compiled, but cannot be loaded on a stock FreeBSD 12. Makefile: KMOD=...

Hi, I write a driver of LCD, witch use SPI and GPIO and works on kernelspace. Source code is available on my github: https://github.com/mattpro/freebsd_test2/blob/master/lcd.c I'll try to test spi but I find strength things. When I load module into kernel: kldload ./lcd.ko I see that init...

Some months ago, I had some problems when upgrading to FreeBSD 11.2 https://forums.FreeBSD.org/threads/cannot-make-buildworld-after-failed-upgrade-to-11-2.67177/ After using some of the nice advices, I ended up with a usable system, even though some inconsistencies were obvious. I did wget...

The default settings of oss are insane. These settings are for pure quality without cracking or any other kind of distortion and low-quality annoyance. This is an passthrough, bypassing some features you don't need. This gives you full quality without thinking about it anymore. sysctl.conf...

Hi All, I'm a network engineer looking to better understand the network subsystem of FreeBSD (unix systems) and in particular how it differs from the linux kernel network subsystem. Any good links or books? I believe iproute2 (this is a package, not a subsystem, right?) is used by linux, so...

Several years into compiling custom kernel to let GPS provide precise time-keeping signals, I still wonder why is that not enabled in stock kernel? With tons of modules for hardware bundled by default, many of which are obsolete, expensive or otherwise rare, it is surprising that such a...
