00:07:14amiconnkugel: I wonder whether eabi gcc stumbles upon the packed structs
00:08:33kugelshort enums, rather
00:08:36kugelI think I found 1 problem
00:10:40kugeldoom seems to be accessing enums over pointers, which is always bad on eabi
00:10:55 Quit DataGhost (Ping timeout: 260 seconds)
00:11:02 Quit bertrik (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)
00:11:50gevaertsif that's true, I'd consider eabi to be broken
00:12:27pamauryI have a patch that get rid of the parent_dir structure in dir_uncached, I'll commit it tomorrow because I can't do it from here. Wasn't it you, kugel, the one who pointed out this fact ? It should save 28KiB on 512B/sector targets and around 80KiB on 2K/sector one(s?)
00:12:34amiconnAccessing enums via pointers isn't bad
00:13:15amiconnIt's just that programmers need to learn that each enum is a different type, which is not compatible with another enum
00:13:26kugelright
00:14:21kugelpamaury: no, I think you confuse me. I saw a different chance for saving but you fixed that already (IIRC)
00:14:26amiconnIirc I've read today that there is a gcc option (for arm eabi) to tell gcc to not use short enums. I wonder whether we should use that
00:14:52kugel-fno-short-enums
00:14:58kugelI'm not sure if that's the way to go
00:15:10pamaurykugel: ok, my mistake then. I'll have to check the logs to see who told that to me :)
00:15:26 Join moos [0] (moos@rockbox/staff/moos)
00:15:31amiconnI would prefer to avoid it if possible. But it might turn out to be impossible
00:16:13kugelamiconn: shouldn't we rather make the enums in question (if we really need to access them over pointer without knowing if it's the enum or not) __attribute__((aligned(4))) ?
00:16:21amiconnIs doom still actively maintained? There might be upstream fixes if so
00:16:36amiconnThat won't help
00:16:45pamauryamiconn: it was you, see ^
00:17:05amiconnIt would help to avoid crashes, but it will still not work right
00:17:05 Quit domonoky (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
00:18:22kugelwell, it now appears only doom is problematic. we can fix doom or be lazy. or is there any other place we're short enums are problematic?
00:19:12bluebrotherpixelma: nice to hear. I agree that rbutil shouldn't freeze with a wrong tts configuration −− do you have the old configuration still around? Did the configuration dialog show a "settings ok" for the tts settings?
00:19:33bluebrotherso this basically leaves the issue as "something is wrong with rbspeex on ppc".
00:19:45 Quit ender` (Quit: How long a minute is depends on which side of the bathroom door you are on. -- Theory of relativity)
00:20:34Unhelpfulkugel, amiconn: there is nothing whatsoever wrong with enum access via pointer on eabi if it's via a pointer to the correct enumtype.
00:20:45Unhelpfulunless there's a bug, anyway, ;)
00:20:49bluebrotherAlexP: can you check the output of pkg-config −−silence-errors −−libs speex speexdsp
00:21:12kugeldoom has one case where it's accessed over an int pointer
00:21:13Unhelpfulkugel: i did a lot of short enum fixes to get doom and mpegplayer compiling without warnings for them
00:21:13amiconn[00:13:16] <amiconn> It's just that programmers need to learn that each enum is a different type, which is not compatible with another enum
00:21:28AlexPbluebrother: "-lspeex -lspeexdsp"
00:21:39Unhelpfulkugel: then you need to fix that - either store enum values in an int, or use a pointer to the correct type.
00:21:44bluebrotherAlexP: can you check the version of libspeex?
00:22:13AlexP1.5.0 I think
00:22:14kugelUnhelpful: sure. but the latter isn't possible. couldn't the pointer be changed to a char * one?
00:23:06Unhelpfulkugel: but that breaks on long-enum builds. an enum-valued int is preferable if you simply must access via int*
00:23:23AlexPbluebrother: I looked at /usr/lib/libspeex.so for that
00:23:28kugelthe doom devs were clever to cast the enum address to void*, otherwise the e200 crash would've been revealed by "186: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type" :D
00:23:33bluebrotherAlexP: huh? The speex website says that the most recent (unstable) release is 1.2rc1
00:23:48Unhelpfulamiconn: sorry, had missed that bit... also twasn't you said that would make eabi broken.
00:24:07AlexPbluebrother: ah right, speexdec gives 1.2rc1
00:24:14scorcheif anyone has any opinions or refinements for http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/GSoCOrgApp2010 , please feel free to go at it.
00:24:24AlexPbluebrother: I'm not sure how to get the library version directly?
00:24:49bluebrotherAlexP: no idea, I use my package manager for that ;-)
00:25:06AlexPspeex (which provides it all) is at 1.2rc1
00:25:08bluebrotherbut this is strange, 1.2rc1 should provide the required symbols in libspeex.so
00:25:08scorchesame goes for http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/GSoCApplicationTemplate2010 and http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SummerOfCode2010 of course
00:25:35*bluebrother should consider setting up arch on a vm to try
00:25:43AlexPhehe :)
00:26:56bluebrotherneed to get some sleep for tonight. Will check that later. Please ping me if I forget about it.
00:27:05AlexPsure, thanks for looking :)

00:59:30amiconnAh, default_compatibility_level and precache
00:59:50amiconnThe latter is a bool, but that will also cause problems if bools are byte-sized
01:00
01:00:01kugelisn't the same issue with bools in theory?
01:00:46kugelthe problem was exposed by the fact that default_compatibility_level comes directly after compatibility_level, which makes the address of default_compatibility_level unaligned
01:01:13kugelthere are even more

01:10:43earHurts01In a rockbox function, is it safe to allocate, say, 1500 bytes on the stack?
01:10:46amiconnAnother option would be to extend the enum in default_s to know all the various enum types, and change M_LoadDefaults to apply them accordingly
01:10:51earHurts01eg. char buffer[1024]; int otherstuff; int morestuff;
01:11:21amiconnI wonder why they have separate fields for the location pointer

01:15:48amiconnkugel: It isn't, but it could be
01:17:45amiconnearHurts01: Depends on what else is on the stack, and in which thread you're doing this
01:20:17earHurts01assume I'm only calling file functions (lseek, read, write) and I'm in the main thread.

01:30:34earHurts01????
01:31:42Unhelpfulamiconn: i've not seen that attribute... i had looked to see if perhaps unpacked might be recognized as doing that sort of thing to enum types.
01:34:05saratogaearHurts01: IIRC the main thread stack is several KB so thats probably safe
01:36:30earHurts01thanks
01:38:24kugelunfortunately, doom has more problems
01:40:33kugelZ_ChangeTag() is called with a NULL pointer, which leads to 0xFFFFFFF0 being written to. that freeezes on the e200, and causes a data abort on the fuze
01:42:13kugelthat happens when selecting the difficulty in freedoom.wad
01:43:19 Part froggyman
01:46:18 Quit banzairun (Quit: CGI:IRC (EOF))
01:49:01kugelit must be another short enum problem. doom functions fine with -fno-short-enums
01:54:35kugel__attribute__((mode(word))) makes an enum indeed 4byte wide
01:57:40earHurts01does rockbox have an int32 type?

04:57:49saratoga_labit could play vorbis at one point I think

04:58:52LloreanA lot of our old ARM Vorbis optimizations came from trying to get it realtime on the iFP, which is why Vorbis was decent when we got iPod support

06:19:42Eq-547-682-357Where should I drag and drop my files on the drive?
06:19:55HillshumAfter ages?
06:19:56Eq-547-682-357Is it inside the .rockbox folder or outside?
06:20:02HillshumWhat files?
06:20:06Eq-547-682-357Music files
06:20:11Eq-547-682-357yeah broke my old ipod
06:20:16Eq-547-682-357got a new one
06:21:35HillshumYou can put the files anywhere
06:21:47Eq-547-682-357Ah
06:21:51Eq-547-682-357kk
06:22:00HillshumProbably best to keep them in a folder dedicated to music, outside the .rockbox folder
06:22:25Eq-547-682-357That's what I was thinking..I was wondering if the files won't be detected if it was outside the .rockbox folder

06:55:42pixelmabluebrother: I don't think I have the non-working configuration around still but I'll try to reproduce. Your summary is slightly wrong and has one thing I can't answer... rbspeex/RbUtil doesn't work correctly on the 10.4 boxes I tried - that means both PPC and Intel. It works correctly on a 10.5 Intel but I can't tell anything about a 10.5 PPC as there is none available where I'm at
06:57:48Tomisi have a 10.5 ppc pixelma, the bootload installer is broken for nano 2g, the rockbox installer seams towork fine though
06:58:41pixelmawith installer you mean the Rockbox Utility?

07:00:52pixelmaI'm not sure though if bluebrother's work for using the inbuilt Apple TTS is already in SVN but maybe you can ask him and help out testing later
07:02:13pixelmathat's what I was testing. With 10.4 I only get talk files that play but aren't recognisable, on the 10.5 Intel box everything was fine

07:07:21pixelmanot sure how he uses it but the goal is to access it from the Utility to make files that can be used with Rockbox's voice system. That means they need to be transcoded to MP3 for the hardwarecodec (Archos) targets, which works and uses an external lame encoder - and a special speex file for the other swcodec targets which doesn't work completely and is using rbspeex (a Rockbox tool)
07:08:17pixelmathe latter seems to be the culprit on 10.4 as I also get noise when encoding and decoding files with a stansalone rbspeex
07:08:26pixelmastandalone too
07:10:56Tomisyea i think apple's TTS to file outputs .aiff
07:14:17pixelmawith the Utility you also get an easy to use UI - browse to the files/directories you want to have talk files for and let it "generate talk files" or just let it generate a voice file for your target

10:27:09 Quit einhirn (Ping timeout: 276 seconds)
10:28:02gevaertsI'd still like that, but it depends (in my mind at least) on address-independent plugin loading
10:28:10gevaertsOtherwise it doesn't really fix anything
10:28:29pamauryindeed
10:28:42pamauryor it depends on relocations
10:29:40gevaertsAdding a coff or elf loader or getting elf2flt to work for rockbox might be a fun project though
10:29:57pamaurywhat is elf2flt ?
10:30:06*gevaerts doesn't really know how much work those would be
10:30:19gevaertshttp://www.uclinux.org/bFLT/
10:30:34mtgevaerts : Yes, I thought it would do just that, but they could be filtered with a good qualifying task.
10:30:52pamauryLoading it is not too difficult but the "problem" is that usually symbols are resolved at load time so you must have an expensive sym->addr table
10:31:00pamauryBut this table can be put in a file I guess
10:31:51gevaertsmt: maybe. I'm not convinced though
10:32:45mtI'm not really into web development to know how much coding would be needed for it to qualify as a coding project though.
10:33:07pixelmaand I'm also not convinced by the "new" design
10:33:55pamaurygevaerts: interesting, perhaps there is something to do then, instead of reinventing the wheel. Does this file format supports all kind of relocations that one can find with ARM, coldfire, ... ?
10:33:58mtpixelma: You mean the idea itself ? Or the specific new design that was started on the forums ?
10:34:18gevaertspamaury: I haven;t investigated it very much yet
10:34:26pixelmathe latter
10:35:35pamaurygevaerts: if had time, I would like to investigate but I already have several projects running :) I don't know if it requires lots of work or not. One day perhaps
10:36:48pixelmaand I was even looking at the code and it looked like it needed a lot of cleanup - many many "hardcoded" things (fontsizes etc.)

10:38:37mtIf a new design qualifies as a gsoc project in the first place, the task could be to start a whole new design, and we could make it clear that building upon the one in the forums is unacceptable. Provided enough people here agree on that of course.
10:39:45mtI haven't looked at that design's code to judge. But hardcoded stuff like that is definitely not good. At least imo. :)
10:48:10linuxstbmt: I don't think our website could be categorised as a coding project... The majority of the work will be the design and reorganising the content.
10:48:50linuxstbPlus of course dealing with everyone complaining about it and trying to reach a concensus...
10:49:02pamaurywhich is not coding...
10:49:27pamaurybut happens in any coding task also :)
10:49:51linuxstbThat's true... ;)
10:51:06mtAlthough a consensus on how a specific driver works entails much less hassle than that regarding the website. :)
10:51:53pamauryIndeed, you just have to be obscure enough to have the others say wait&see.
10:52:01pamaury;-)
10:52:39mtlinuxstb: I wasn't sure about how much coding is required. But if it's mainly design, then yes it wouldn't qualify for gsoc.

11:25:04pamaurygevaerts: I just had a look at bFLT but I'm not sure it's adapted to what we would dream of. There are several ways to do things of course but say we want to allow a usb driver (or anything else) to access any function of the core without having a rb-like structure growing exponentially, we need to support dynamic symbols and this bFLT doesn't have it.
11:26:34gevaertspamaury: I don't see a need to drop the rb-like structure
11:32:20pamaurygevaerts: That's just a thought. A rb-like structure has the advantage that there is only one copy of it. But it has some drawbacks: it can be huge if you want to support all possible functions and every time you need access to a function/field, you need to add functions to it. Whereas it you use a symbol table (that you can load at load time and then drop in some way), you have one table per plugin (greater ram usage) but it's transparent.
11:33:05pamauryOf course, the the symbol table approach requires more work so more code so increase binsize :)
11:36:48gevaertsthe symbol table approach would also need the full table somewhere
11:37:05gevaertsrb doesn't need a copy per plugin
11:37:06pamauryYou can store it in a file

11:37:46gevaertsThe code to handle that will be bigger than just having the table
11:38:02pamauryperhaps :)
11:39:20gevaertsAnyway, the issue of whether or not to also make iram relocatable (and/or optional...) and how to do that is going to be a lot more important I think

11:41:14gevaertsOne of the main reasons for all this is to allow multiple plugins at the same time. If such plugins use iram, their iram use needs to be managed
11:42:05pamauryyes. currently, how do plugins use iram ? There is a reserved region no ?
11:42:11gevaertsyes
11:42:54gevaertsWe also have to be careful with relocation and iram. We don't want to slow down iram use
11:44:28pamauryI don't see the problem. The goal of relocations is to avoid indirection, so iram accessed shouldn't be slowed down by relocations.
11:48:46pamauryAnyway, multiple plugins means managing iram and also the place where plugins are loaded (audio buffer ?)
11:49:13gevaertsYes, it means a lot of things :)

13:36:30notlisteningI just had an idea about voice tagging of the recordings you can make with rockbox. Not a massive amount of work but a viable feature non the less?
13:37:03notlisteningnot two months works i guess
13:37:19gevaertsTheSeven: let me check the details...
13:37:23notlisteninglol maybe for me
13:38:38TheSevengevaerts: I've done some profiling now, and it seems like the FTL is busy about 88% of the time, which looks quite ok
13:40:23TheSevenwhat is disturbing me a bit is that it is using CPU 54% of the time (and thus waiting for the hardware only 46% of the time)
13:40:37gevaertsTheSeven: you might want to play with WRITE_BUFFER_SIZE in usb_storage.c
13:40:58TheSeveni already set that to 64K to prevent that 24K/24K/8K splitting
13:41:25TheSevenhaven't measured the impact of that
13:41:50 Quit mt (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
13:41:58TheSevenlet me check
13:42:18gevaertsThe "problem" is that 64K is also the usual USB transfer size, so you can't really buffer more and still guarantee the same reliability
13:42:20TheSevenhm, NAND is only active 64% of the FTL busy time
13:45:05gevaertsTheSeven: you might want to look at FS #10239. Unfortunately I suspect that it doesn't apply cleanly anymore...
13:45:11TheSeven24k vs. 64k => 16% performance difference
13:45:30TheSeventhat buffer is allocated from the audio buffer anyways, isn't it?
13:45:44AlexPgevaerts: do you think the whole re-locatable plugins/pebbles/type thing is enough for GSOC?
13:46:04gevaertsAlexP: I don't know. I have some doubts

13:46:31AlexPAs it'd be a nice thing to have - maybe we could flesh it out a bit
13:47:01gevaertsTheSeven: on everything except imx31 and tcc, yes. The different values aren't for RAM reasons, just performance :)
13:47:44gevaertsIf your natural IO size is 64k, by all means keep it at 64k. The only problem with that is of course that it's not necessarily 64k-aligned
13:48:28TheSevenit was at 24k before, but 64k is significantly better
13:48:36TheSeveni think this needs to be moved to the device config
13:49:09TheSeveni'll do the "ifndef define" variant in usb_storage.c probably
13:49:55TheSevena fun fact is that, while the ftl is busy 88% of the time at 64k, it is busy 95% of the time at 24k, but overall performance is 16% worse

13:51:20gevaertsYou might also want to try reverting r24333. I don;t think anything could actually go wrong before that one, the thing just needs to be redone properly
13:51:30TheSevenoverall CPU usage during FTL activity is still 53%
13:52:30TheSevendidn't we commit that patch to make usb work at all on nano2g?
13:53:06gevaertsno, that's something else
13:53:18TheSevenhowever, i think those measurements show that the slowdown is clearly coming from the FTL, not the USB handling
13:54:22gevaertsyes, but r24333 causes a 5% to 10% slowdown on PP, so if you're chasing the OF performance, it will count
13:54:39pamauryTheSeven: if you have doubt about usb performance, just trash the incoming data and never call the ftl. This way, you'll have the raw usb speed...
13:54:41TheSevenwe're more than 50% behind that right now
13:55:08TheSeven(even though we're already 200% better than yesterday)
13:56:52gevaertsAlexP: if you add "... and make it work using the audio buffer", you might get closer
13:58:09 Quit Strife89 (Ping timeout: 248 seconds)
13:59:12pamaurygevaerts: it's also possible (at a huge cost) to do it without touching too much the audio code: just put the plugins at the beginning of the audio buffer and when a plugins exist, you can move all the others and because there are relocable, you just apply reloc one more time ;) So in fact, you don't have fragmentation issue but that's horrible :)
13:59:39pamauryThere is only one tricky point with the stack data however :(
14:00
14:00:57gevaertspamaury: by then the plugin might have pointers all over the place, located in malloced buffers, and pointing to potentially anywhere
14:01:05gevaertsSo I think you can't :)
14:01:53pamauryYes I know, it's just that the idea is brilliant isn't :) You can have the plugin have a special "rockbox_deciced_to_move_you_so_updateyou_pointers_using_this_delta" function :)

16:22:33Unhelpfulpamaury, gevaerts: one idea tossed around before was to use an rb-like structure, with plugin relocations specified by index. the same mechanisms used now to version the plugins and API would be used to make sure plugins don't break. but yes, we'd need to add core functions to it by hand - i'm not sure this is a bad thing as it makes us think about whether we should. ;)

16:30:54pamauryOk, I think I understand what you mean :) But the main problem is not relocation anyway, it's the use of the audio buffer I think

16:35:47kugelTorne: I wondered why the plugin&codec buffer isn't simply moved/linked before the main binary for unified ipodvideo 32MB and 64MB builds?
16:36:01Tornekugel: we discussed it before
16:36:10Torneit's possible, but would require fiddling with the bootloader
16:36:35Tornerelocatable loading solves lots of other problems as well; if we're gonna do that it's not worht the effort to relocate the buffers
16:36:59kugeldo we really want relocatable codecs?
16:37:18Tornewhy not?
16:37:46kugelfrom what I gathered, PIC costs a lot of performance and code size,
16:37:52TornePIC is not involved
16:38:00Tornethere is zero performance cost
16:38:11Torneand no runtime size cost (only a disk cost for the relocs)
16:38:36Tornerelocatable doesn't mean position independant; position independant code *doesn't* require relocation :)
16:39:12kugelthe main binary could memmove itself as well, bootloader fiddling is not needed
16:39:20Torneyes. we discussed all this.
16:39:28Tornemany months ago ;)
16:39:34kugelI'm just thinking it's easier for now ;)
16:40:01TorneI really don't think it is, personally
16:40:11Tornebut hey
16:40:39kugelwell, the idea is added to the GSoC list, let's hope we find someone ;)
16:40:42Tornebuilding the plugins as relocatable is the slightly fiddly part; actually loading them and applying relocs is incredibly easy
16:40:59Torneit only really gets hard if you consider loading into audiobuffer
16:41:04Tornewhich is something that can be done later
16:41:48kugelsure, for a start it would be nice to battery_bench while playing bubbles :)
16:42:06Torneright, but you could do that by just dividing up plugin_buffer
16:42:18Torneif you don't expect full generality it's not difficult

16:44:00*kugel tries to imagine how it would be done without PIC
16:44:41Tornewithout PIC is the normal way..
16:44:43TornePIC is a special case
16:45:07Torneyou build an elf binary just as we do now, but link with -r to keep all the relocations
16:45:53Tornethen you feed it to elf2flt to turn it into a simpler format, still with the relocations
16:46:02Tornewhen you load it you just go to each reloc entry and add the right offset
16:46:10Tornethen throw the relocation data away
16:46:51Tornethe resulting assembly code is identical to if you just ran it through objdump with the right target address
16:47:06Torneit's slightly complicated by things like iram, but that's the basic idea.
16:47:25Tornethe conversion step is not technically required, either, but we probably don't want to implement an elf loader.
16:48:43kugelah, cool. I didn't know about -r
16:49:06Torneall PIC does to this process is make it so that there are less relocations
16:49:18Torneyou end up hving all the code refer to a global offset table
16:49:23Torneand then you just need one big mass of relocs in th etable.
16:49:33Tornethis means you can share more pages between processes that map the same library
16:49:36Tornebut we don't care about that.
16:50:24kugeljust port ld and objdump (and strip?) to rockbox. done :P
16:50:26Torneso yeah. the process is trivial. the actual details of integrating it into our build process are not entirely trivial, or gevaerts or I would've done it by now :)

17:03:56Torneas long as you don't expect things to be able to share iram
17:04:11pamauryyou're cheating :)
17:04:19Torneput the iram addresses int he linker script, which is fine as long as they don't overlap 0->pluginsize
17:04:24Tornethen strip the relocs for them
17:04:30Tornewill probably work.
17:04:36*gevaerts *does* expect things to share iram! :)
17:04:46Tornewell, then no :)
17:05:21pamaurywe can still implement something like alloc_iram and free_iram so the linker script is still works
17:05:35pamaury*-is
17:05:57pamauryAnyway, if you share iram you have to manage it so it has to be dynamical
17:06:04gevaertsiram also has code
17:06:08Tornepamaury: No, we can't implement that
17:06:14pamaurywhy ?
17:06:17TorneWe can't share iram unless we also know how to relocate references to iram
17:06:19pamauryAh, code :)
17:06:22Tornewhich is not possible in bFLT without modification
17:06:29Tornebecause it only has three sections
17:06:50pamauryIndeed, if you share iram code, that's impossible with bFLT
17:07:13Tornedo we care, though?
17:07:27Tornewhat's the need for it?
17:07:54pamauryis putting code in iram actually a gain ?
17:08:09kugelcould we prepend some 0xFFF to the reloc entry to show it's for iram?
17:08:13Torneit doesn't matter if you put code in iram..
17:08:24Tornekugel: only if we wrote our own tool
17:08:32Tornepamaury: you can't *refer to addresses in iram at all*
17:08:52Torneit would be impossible to use iram for anything except malloc-like behaviour as you said
17:08:58kugelTorne: if we do that we can just as well add iram sections
17:09:05Torneyou can't store any code or any variables there, unless it's a fixed location or you can relocate it
17:09:10TheSevenby pipelining that, we could actually get 80% more performance yet again

17:09:53TheSevenhm,,,
17:09:54gevaertsTheSeven: don't very large nand transfers also imply delayed errors?
17:10:01pamauryThen let's add an iram section to bFLT, that shouldn't be too hard
17:10:01Tornekugel: but again this may be difficult, because the way that bFLT works means you can't really do that :)
17:10:06Tornepamaury: yes it will be
17:10:19TheSevenwell, i get 64k writes from the usb stack, so i could at least write 64k blocks without further delaying them
17:10:28TorneThe format discards the relocation data, and only keeps the relocation site addresses
17:10:33TheSevenit would be a little to handle bad blocks in that case though
17:10:38TorneIt relies on the fact that you have linked the binary to be placed at addresses starting at 0
17:10:41TheSevenit can be done, it's just a bit complex
17:11:04Tornewhich means that the values ld stores in the actual reloc sites are the offsets from the start
17:11:04TheSeventhis would mean merging quite a bit of VFL code into the FTL
17:11:20Torneand thus you only need to know where each reloc is, and you just add the same base address to all of them.
17:11:26*Unhelpful still thinks buflib could be adapted to solve *most* of the allocation problems... but multiple plugins using iram at the same time that codecs use it will be messy no matter what.
17:11:35TheSevenright now, i'm writing in 8K steps, and i could almost do 2 of those in parallel
17:11:42kugelyea, I read through bFLT, and it looks like we need to modify it anyway if we want to work with iram
17:11:43Unhelpfulin particular APE is now deliberately using all of iram :)
17:11:49Tornealso yeah
17:11:59Tornein general, on platforms where iram is faster then most codecs should probably be using all of it, no?
17:12:02TheSevenwell, actually this means merging both nand and vfl code into the ftl
17:12:24Torneany time ther eis space there is probably something that can go in iram that will make it faster..
17:12:27UnhelpfulTorne: only when they reasonably can. and i could limit the size of the APE divider reciprocal table...
17:12:49TorneUnhelpful: yes, but I doubt we are likely to reach the point where there's nothing that could reasonably be put in there very often
17:13:19*Unhelpful thinks keeping "stop playback for plugin iram" is reasonable.
17:13:25pamauryThen why bother ? Just manage iram in a malloc/free way, that solves all the linker problems and it adds two lines to the codec...
17:13:33Tornepamaury: but it makes the code that uses iram slower!
17:13:42TorneIt doesn't just add two lines
17:14:09TorneIf you link your code to directly refer to symbols in .iram then that's equally quick to access as if it were in .text

17:17:39kugelTorne: blft version 2 has the type bitfield, maybe we could simply change the bits from .text, .data, and .bss to .iram and .ram (and .unused(or .init if you want)), and still apply the logic version 4 uses
17:18:28Torneoh wait
17:18:59Tornepardon me, i'm dumb
17:19:01Torneyou don't need to do that
17:19:38Torneif you're going to hack it anyway just add the extra fields to the header
17:20:06Torneoh no, double wait
17:20:09Torne:)
17:20:23kugelyou wouldn't need to hack it the converter, only the loader, it's up to use how we interpret .text, .data, and .bss
17:20:26TorneYou might still have a problem, either way
17:20:43Tornethe problem is that iram sections have a different LMA and VMA
17:20:57Tornebecause they're loaded to one place then copied to another
17:21:15kugelLMA/VMA?
17:21:24Torneload address and run address, if you like :)
17:21:31pamauryIs it too difficult to hack bFLT to add a new section ? I would require to tweak the converter but loading would still be easy
17:21:43pamaury*s/I/it
17:21:58Tornepamaury: no, it's not, i realised i was making a mistake :)
17:22:02Tornebut it still might be a problem

17:22:43Tornepamaury: what I just said
17:23:03kugelTorne: version 4 uses the logic that .bss follows .data. we can even fo further and assume .data after .text (the remark about code in rom doesn't apply for us). we really only need to distinguish between iram and ram. or am I overlooking something?
17:23:10Torne.iram is linked AT(iramcopy) which is the address immediately after .data
17:23:25Tornebut it's linked to run at PLUGIN_IRAM
17:23:53Tornei.e. the place it's stored in the program load image is not the same as the address it is relocated for.
17:24:01dionoeaTheSeven: that would deadlock
17:24:10 Part patgodo
17:24:20pamauryTorne: yes but at reloc time you can distinguish between those two types of reloc, no ?

17:25:59TheSevenshould we put implementing a usb transfer cache (like a hard drive that has a cache) on mr. someone's todo list?
17:26:35kugeldo we want that?
17:26:42TheSeventhat's the question
17:26:54kugelusb transfer caches only annoyed me so far
17:26:58gevaertsTheSeven: for write, I have one...
17:27:09kugellinux had that not too long ago, but it disappeared again
17:27:24TheSevenit could help speeding up usb transfers, and i don't see any disadvantages besides it being quite some work and some binsize hit
17:27:38gevaertsFS #10239 does most of that
17:28:02TheSevenkugel: actually every dumb usb external hard drive is doing it
17:28:58kugelcaches on the device side aren't as bad as ones on the OS side, I guess
17:29:07TheSevengevaerts: I will try that one when i have the NAND at the maximum possible speed
17:29:33TheSevenkugel: caches on the OS side aren't bad either as long as they are implemented in a sane way

17:31:08TheSevenreally?
17:31:19kugelfs#11090
17:32:06*TheSeven likes to quote gevaerts who said that a non-512 sector size would be opening a can of worms... i'd rather say a can of stkov's ;-)
17:32:17TheSevenactually it were exactly 2 worms and a dozen stkovs

17:32:44TheSevena *shutdown stkov*!?
17:33:01TheSevenand the thread name seems to have been damaged by it. bugger.
17:33:16TheSevencan't we place the task information stuff *above* the stack to prevent that?
17:34:46kugelisn't it just a matter of swapping the "const char thread_name[] =" and "char thread_stack[]" lines?
17:35:36kugelwow, finally someone with a clue answered on my gcc bug
17:36:56TheSevenkugel: no, it's a matter of moving the stack in app.lds
17:37:32kugelonly the main thread stack is there, isn't it?
17:37:45TheSevenyes, but i bet that this one is the problem here ;-)
17:38:03kugeland the main thread name is in the .data section, unlikely to be next to the stack
17:38:10TheSeven(which on the other hand would increase the probability of a stkov actually overwriting code, which might be even worse as not even the panic message would be shown any more)
17:38:26TheSevenisn't it in idata?
17:38:41kugelno idea, depends on the target
17:38:59UnhelpfulTorne: i don't really know how big a project needs to be for gsoc. i have a rough idea of what needs to be done, but i tend to put off implementing this sort of thing because i hate problems that are mostly organizational :/
17:39:02kugelI'm just saying that the main thread stack & name is completely different to other threads
17:39:25TheSevenhow, how can that kind of crash happen then?
17:39:54saratogaupdated my tremor mdct patch, but it still gives static output
17:40:50kugelstkov is detecting by checking the stack end for 0xdeadbeef. anything that's before the stack end is potentially overwritten
17:41:11TheSevenhm, but how can a stack hit that area?
17:41:16Unhelpfulfor core the idea i had was that each buflib object would have a pointer to a function with a specific signature that could handle anything needed to relocate the buffer... for buffer_alloc objects this would mostly mean updating a pointer to the space, and any pointers into it. for codecs we'd need to pause any COP threads before doing that...
17:41:18kugelso, the thread name has to be before the stack in order to be overwritten
17:41:31TheSevenor actually a pointer to it
17:41:44kugeland that's unlikely for the main thread, unless the main thread name is at the very end of .data
17:41:52TheSevendamn, this is another case for post-mortem debugging :-/
17:42:58TheSevenif it would have happened over here, i'd just do a memdump
17:43:56*TheSeven is about to grab another 56K of ramsize for the FTL
17:44:57Tornepamaury: i don't think you understand what i mean. i'm not sure how big a problem it is, but you aren't addressing it :)
17:45:00TheSevenwell, that's still almost compensated by yesterday's green :-)
17:45:47pamauryarg, TheSeven you're eating all ramsize i'm freeing ;)
17:46:09TheSevenyes, you'll need to run after those useless LFN sector buffers to fully compensate it ;-)
17:46:22Unhelpfulwe could either explicitly shove objects we don't want to move frequently to the front of the buffer, or just let them migrate there gradually as things below them are freed.
17:46:22 Quit AsusFreak (Quit: CGI:IRC (EOF))
17:47:00TheSevenbut it everything works as expected, i'll finally reach a 1000% speedup for nand transfers with this, compared to what rockbox did yesterday
17:47:12Tornepamaury: actually, the problem is preserving the correct location for the symbols that tell you where the data for the iram sections *really is*
17:47:14kugelTheSeven: it looks like all stacks have the name after the stack or passed it directly in the create_thread() call
17:47:29pamauryTheSeven: are there useless buffers in the FAT code ?
17:47:29Tornepamaury: it's work-around-able, but the linker script might grow hairy legs as a result :)
17:48:20UnhelpfulTorne: might it help to use FLT only as a starting point? perhaps add more sections?
17:48:26TheSevenpamaury: we talked about that excessive count of sector buffers in dirent structs some days ago
17:48:47TorneUnhelpful: i think it's easiest to just not bother to begin with, tbh :)
17:49:09pamauryTheSeven: not sure but indeed, 3 sectors of caching per fat_dir seems a lot to me
17:49:27UnhelpfulTorne: FLT? or specifically being able to relocate multiple iram users?
17:49:32TheSevenone sector + 512 bytes would be sufficient if one would do a little rework on the LFN reading code

17:51:13Unhelpfulkugel: yes, and answered, but i mistakenly directed the answer at Torne. been sick, sorry. :/
17:51:19pamauryTheSeven: ok, I'll have a look at the log and at the code, see if there is something to do
17:51:36UnhelpfulTorne: almost everything that uses iram expects exclusive audio access anyway, right?
17:51:42TorneUnhelpful: everything, afaik
17:51:45TheSeventhat would get us rid of another 3.5K per dirent on nano2g
17:52:34pamauryAnd perhaps reduce binsize, iirc the function handling LFN is monstruous, if only it can be simplified !
17:52:54kugelUnhelpful: I think it involves a lot of rewriting in the code that would use buflib (i.e. adding get_data() where needed, making it offset based), so it would qualify as a project IMO
17:53:22TorneUnhelpful: beatbox, doom, midi, mpegplayer, pacbox, pdbox, rockboy, zxbox
17:53:38TorneUnhelpful: pretty sure those all steal the sound
17:53:42Unhelpfulthen i say forget about it for now. you don't need to run doom and mpegplayer at the same time. i think for iram we should support only one user, and possibly the option to swap iram users out to dram so that we can "background" an iram-using app.
17:54:03kugelTorne: most of them produce their own sound anyway :p

17:56:10Tornein which case, with fingers crossed, it shouldn't be *too* difficult to do
17:56:21Tornejust a matter of rewriting the linker scripts to produce what elf2flt expects
17:56:26kugelwe shouldn't have so high requirements anyway, otherwise it's not getting done
17:56:28Tornemaybe adding in a bit of strip to remove relocs we don't want it to see
17:56:41Tornewell, if we are doing *just* that, then I doubt it's a SoC project, though :)
17:57:06kugelI think it is
17:57:07Tornejust poking the linker scripts until elf2flt produces the right output, and implementing a tiny loader, shouldn't take very long at all

19:06:23bluebrotherpixelma: the OS X TTS implementation in rbutil doesn't allow adjusting pitch or voice (yet). That's one of the things I've got on my todo list for implementing next.
19:07:11bluebrotheras I'm not setting a value it should take the default. No idea if that means its using the system value (I guess so) or the default value of the voice
19:08:02pixelmasystem value should give me an effect if I change it in thte VoiceOver setup, no?
19:08:51bluebrothernot sure about voice over. In 10.6 the voice setting is different than the voice over setting.
19:09:25domonokysapi also has a pitch option, only the sapi script doesnt export it to rbutil. (but the opensapi patch in the tracker does it).
19:09:52pixelmamy question was also related to the encoder options (sample rate etc.). I see I can pass some myself but am curious what is used (for lame) and also their names as I don't know the names off the top of my head :\ )

19:14:07pixelmaI know I set 11kHz for the SAPI voices... would already explain (and gain) a lot. Not sure but I think I remember there is some must have (sample rate or similar) for Archos voices but don't remember exactly and the talk files worked at least

20:12:05amiconnpamaury: Putting code in iram is essential for performance critical stuff on e.g. PP5002
20:12:14mitk*and
20:12:30amiconnBut then, plugins using iram do so for performance reasons, and also have to stop playback
20:13:09amiconnSo imo it's not necessary to implement iram relocation. Just don't allow loading two plugins using iram at the same time by convention

22:31:42bluebroth3rTomis: if you want to test it, my current OS X TTS work is in svn, and binaries are around at http://tinyurl.com/rbutil-dev . This uses the Speech Synthesis Manager, not "say" as this allows more adjustments. Also, the aiff -> wav issue has been solved. Using say would also raise the additional issue of dealing with compressed aiff (at least on 10.6)
