"MA_NOTOWNED undefined" and cannot find files after kernel compilation #11

Open Emrion opened 5 years ago

Emrion commented 5 years ago

I think they are obvious problems but... I can't make it to work.

The script build_modules seems to need a 13 kernel version not a 12 (it complains about undefined symbols: MA_NOTOWNED and MA_OWNED)... Is it possible to use it with a 12 version?

With a 13 kernel, I follow the instructions (no errors): running ./build_modules, building the kernel and installing it... But I can't find any file .ko or .bin in athp/otus/freebsd/src/sys/modules/athpfw/.

What I did wrong?

Emrion commented 5 years ago

I found where lie the compiled files (and it was actually obvious). Nevertheless, I still get stuck on trying to compile this code on a 12 kernel version.

Geramy commented 5 years ago

Sorry we havn't gotten back to you, I will review your issue later today and see what I can come up with.

Emrion commented 5 years ago

For your information, on a 13-CURRENT, I get a kernel page fault when I load if_athp. It also complains that it cannot load some firmwares; it's very close to what bradleythughes got. I tried master, NEW_ATHP_ARVIF_LOCK (same as master?) and tx_power_change branches. Same results each time.

I have a QCA6174, so I copy only the .ko and .bin from the corresponding folders. Is this ok so? I saw that it tried to load the 3.0 firmwares.

Geramy commented 5 years ago

Is this a Surface Go? I can solve these issues, you need a specific board.bin, board-2.bin and firmware-6.bin.

Geramy commented 5 years ago

Try these files: https://drive.google.com/file/d/107PePJLBYtp8AhbbDAKTpDERePvMO5x5/view?usp=sharing Also remove the hw2.0 folder.

Emrion commented 5 years ago

Is this a Surface Go? I can solve these issues, you need a specific board.bin, board-2.bin and firmware-6.bin.

No. It's a PC based on Asus H170I-PRO / i3 7100T. My goal is to make use the QCA6174 device by pfSense (build on a 12 FreeBSD version) as host access point. But to be clear, up to now, I only tried to compile athp under pure FreeBSD.

There is only one file in your link (board.bin), shall I place it in /boot/module? Do I have to rename it?

Reading the error generated when it loads if_athp under 13-CURRENT, I see:

Then, it crashes soon after with a page fault.

But I would like to compile athp under a 12-RELEASE. This is my main concern at the moment.

Geramy commented 5 years ago

Can you get me a full log please.

Geramy commented 5 years ago

Did you replace the board file in the athp_QCA6174_hw3.0_board folder when you compiled, or after you compiled? You need to replace the file before you compile so that it compiles the .ko for that board file.

Emrion commented 5 years ago

So, I wiped out all my precedent trials to be sure to take the master branch. I copied the file you provided board.bin in athp/otus/freebsd/src/sys/modules/athpfw/athp_QCA6174_hw3.0_board. Then, I compiled athp. After that, I copied in /boot/modules and /boot/kernel the .ko and .bin files from athp/otus/freebsd/src/sys/modules/athpfw/athp_QCA6174_hw3.0_board and athp/otus/freebsd/src/sys/modules/athpfw/athp_QCA6174_hw3.0_firmware-4. Finally, I typed: kldload if_athp. The kernel crashes as well but the error isn't the same as before. Now, it's a general protection fault. I can't take all the output in a single picture (sorry for the poor quality, can't do better with my phone). Tell me if something important is missing.

erikarn commented 5 years ago

hm, looks like it's crashing inside rx_ring_fill_n; i wonder why. can you get a kernel coredump and use gdb on it to figure out the line number?

kgdb /boot/kernel/kernel /var/crash/core.X

then when it loads, do "bt"

-a

Geramy commented 5 years ago

That stuff below is more important if you can get me an image of the rx ring calls at the bottom I would like that.

Emrion commented 5 years ago

I reloaded if_athp but the error changed and returned to "page fault". I have no file in /var/crash (I set dumpdev="AUTO" in rc.conf) except minfree. I attach two pictures, hoping they will have the informations you need.

Geramy commented 5 years ago

Do me a favour, Try my branch out. https://github.com/Geramy/athp/tree/NEW_ATHP_ARVIF_LOCK it looks like wmi is using the conf lock. I have removed the conf lock from wmi it will be in master once we confirm it's working 100% I tested it last night and it was working. Let me know if this fixes the issue.

Emrion commented 5 years ago

I already tried this branch. But this time, I used your board.bin. Here is what I get:

20190331_204927 20190331_220358

Geramy commented 5 years ago

As of last night I did new commits, as of when did you try this branch, and have you tried the parent master branch, please make sure your on the latest revision.

Emrion commented 5 years ago

I cloned your code just before with: git clone --branch NEW_ATHP_ARVIF_LOCK https://github.com/Geramy/athp

Should I try without adding board.bin?

Geramy commented 5 years ago

You could give that a shot but I have a feeling that the card isnt finishing one of the startup procedures and we either arnt sleeping on something we need to or something like that. This is a lock issue. I'll have to purchase that card to verify. Can you provide me the cards model and manufacturer? When I get home in 20 minutes I'll try to patch my branch with a fix also I might be able to find it in a few trys with what you sent me.

Emrion commented 5 years ago

I tried NEW_ATHP_ARVIF_LOCK without adding build.bin but it crashed with the same error as above. The wifi module is embedded in the motherboard (Asus H170I-PRO). I believe it is this hardware: https://www.qualcomm.com/products/qca6174a-dual-band-wi-fi

Many thanks for all you do to get it works.

Geramy commented 5 years ago

Hey were you able to compile this for freebsd 12? I was able to get it to compile with some changes. But there are no iw tools for pfsense.

Emrion commented 5 years ago

Alas, no. Always these symbols undefined (they should for they come from sys/mutex.h, IIRC). Do you have a branch compilable under freebsd 12? If not, can you tell me the changes you made? I would like to test it just to be sure that the crash doesn't come from an instable feature in freebsd CURRENT.

Also, I tried to enable the bluetooth module (I disabled it at the base), but no dice again under freebsd 13.

I don't know precisely concerning iw tools but one can set a host AP with pfSense (I thought it used iw). I just lack a suitable interface up to now. :-)

Emrion commented 5 years ago

I'm doing something that can interrest you: a debian 9.8 install. It have the driver but it doesn't work because some firmware files are missing. Could it be just that?

Seems, concerning debian, I have to install a package that provide them: firmware-atheros.

debian

Geramy commented 5 years ago

I have submitted the changes to get it to compile for freebsd 12.0 https://github.com/Geramy/athp/tree/NEW_ATHP_ARVIF_LOCK

Geramy commented 5 years ago

@Emrion have you compiled pfsense before? if_athp also requires alq.so module just so you know. I am working on compiling pfsense from source i'm not sure how exactly but i'll get through it.

Emrion commented 5 years ago

Concerning FreeBSD 12: the good new is it compiles now like a charm; the bad one is I get the same crash when I load if_athp. Anyway, it generated a core file and here is the result of kgdb / bt:

I don't know if it'll be of some use.

About pfSense: I never compiled it. I think it isn't easy. However, my first trial would be to load the driver compiled under pure FreeBSD 12 into pfSense (the development version which is based on a 12 FreeBSD).

Geramy commented 5 years ago

It's the same issue I'll have to think about this more.

Geramy commented 5 years ago

I think the firmware probe is still failing, I did a checkup on the failure and it looks like it could be because the firmware fails to load. Maybe try another board, can you get the firmware files from the original driver or operating system?

Geramy commented 5 years ago

Try one of these qca6174 bin files one is a board-1 the smaller one and one is board-2 the bigger file. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1jSiXYUCR6TtTdveW4dD7NzF1rwh4jdEo

Emrion commented 5 years ago

Thanks but I can't dl them. It asks me a google account... Can you make them public? Where should I place the file I'm testing? I have to recompile athp?

PS: I somewhat solved my problem by a bhyve VM with debian as guest. It receives the device QCA6174 as passthru and connects it on virtual bridges. But I would prefer a driver that can work under pfSense (upcoming version based on 12.0 FreeBSD).

Tnx for your hard work, it's working on my freebsd 12 after following all your directions here, now i need to find a way to port this on pfsense somehow, it's not working if i move the modules on my pfsense box, missing alq and firmware say "image firmware table full", @Geramy were you able to compile the kernel for pfsense?

Geramy commented 5 years ago

Here is a tutorial on how to build pfsense, https://github.com/PiBa-NL/PiBa-NL-WIKI/wiki/How-to-building-a-pfSense-.iso-from-sources

I actually myself have not been able to build pfsense, its the worst to try to build, trust me. I think the best solution is to actually find the exact freebsd kernel the latest pfsense iso you can get and rebuild the freebsd kernel from source and all the modules, then build the ath10k based on those sources, the new ones. your going to be missing tons of modules as pfsense doesnt include them all so what you should be doing is most likely just overwrite all the files from the kernel source you built. That will also get you some of the required modules you are missing.

kiokoman commented 5 years ago

now i'm trying to rebuild only the kernel, i have downloaded from here https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense, i see there is a script that let you build only the kernel. but i need time to understand how to properly do it

Geramy commented 5 years ago

When I get home tonight ill look in to this again and see if anything can be done.

kiokoman commented 5 years ago

i was able to build a working kernel ./build.sh --setup copy build.conf.sample in build.conf ./build.sh --build-kernels at the end kernel was inside pfsense/tmp/pfSense_master_amd64-core/.real_20190514-1256/All/pfSense-kernel-pfsense-2.5.0.a.20190514.1256.txz i have copied it inside a vm pfsense and it boot. now i need to understand where to put options to add alq found it tested with virtual machine only https://drive.google.com/open?id=1BT2DGkCvJC9U7gUBR6gdKFDX-yGezXv-

Geramy commented 5 years ago

There should be a config for the kernel and way to go. Good work on this!

kiokoman commented 5 years ago

ok, it work under a real pfsense machine but there is no options in the GUI to configure the access point, i can only assign interface

20190514_205944 20190514_205912

i must configure it manually from the console somehow

Geramy commented 5 years ago

I believe you have to manually configure it from the console because there is no vap support for this driver yet, "virtual access point", please provide me the link to the iso and i'll give it a shot at home tonight and try to get the log information out to create a small patch that lets us hack around the no vap support.

kiokoman commented 5 years ago

i don't have any iso, i compiled only the kernel and it's in my google drive, i have installed from original iso that you can download from netgate website and with scp i copied inside my kernel

Geramy commented 5 years ago

Are you able to send me the logs to pfsense? syslog and the like?

kiokoman commented 5 years ago

all the logs are here -> https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fM-Jlmf8BY21kIEGueSxFWmrISZqcDj3 take in mind that i have 2 wifi card ath0 and athp0 with ath0 (AR9485) i can see the interface in the gui to configure the wifi but not with ath0p (QCA988X)

in the meantime i have created a script /root/hostapd_athp0_wlan0.conf

interface=athp0_wlan0 driver=bsd logger_syslog=-1 logger_syslog_level=0 dump_file=/tmp/hostapd_athp0_wlan0.dump ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd_wlan0 ctrl_interface_group=wheel ssid=pfSense-5G debug= wpa=2 wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=CCMP wpa_group_rekey=3600 wpa_strict_rekey= wpa_passphrase=yourpasswordhere

after this i created a script inside /usr/local/etc/rc.d/hostapd-5g.sh

/bin/sh

/usr/local/sbin/hostapd -B -P /var/run/hostapd_athp0_wlan0.pid /root/hostapd_athp0_wlan0.conf

wifi go up and running at startup

kiokoman commented 5 years ago

i'm going on with my test, i have 144Mbps at 2,4Ghz channel 11 ht40- but if i change mode to 11a channel 161 i have only 54Mbps ifconfig athp0_wlan0 channel 161:ht40- does not work, no error message and no 40Mhz only 20Mhz width i have tried other channel inside 5g range but same results

Geramy commented 5 years ago

Have you tried channel 40? I operate my stuff at channel 40 and I believe n worked great. Oh it has to be in n mode only too. Also what is the normal statistics of that card?

kiokoman commented 5 years ago

i found out that it was set as 11a instead of 11na but as soon as i start hostapd it go to 11a again even on channel 40

erikarn commented 5 years ago

lemme go see if I have some uncommitted regdomain.xml changes to enable it for at least the US. Sorry!

kiokoman commented 5 years ago

i found that setting channel=48 inside hostapd and start it , it change mode to 11a if i use ifconfig and remove the channel= from hostapd it work in short

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/hostapd-5g.sh

/bin/sh

ifconfig athp0_wlan0 mode 11na ifconfig athp0_wlan0 channel 48:ht/40- /usr/local/sbin/hostapd -B -P /var/run/hostapd_athp0_wlan0.pid /root/hostapd_athp0_wlan0.conf

and inside /root/hostapd_athp_wlan0.conf

interface=athp0_wlan0 logger_syslog=-1 logger_syslog_level=0 dump_file=/tmp/hostapd_athp0_wlan0.dump ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd_wlan0 ctrl_interface_group=wheel ssid=pfSense-5G beacon_int=100 dtim_period=2 max_num_sta=255 rts_threshold=2347 fragm_threshold=2346 auth_algs=3 wmm_enabled=1 wme_enabled=1 wpa=2 wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK wpa_pairwise=CCMP rsn_pairwise=CCMP wpa_group_rekey=3600 wpa_passphrase=somepassword

the problem was that i had channel=48:ht/40- before inside hostapd conf and starting it resulted in mode changed to 11a without 40 width

Have you tried selecting a channel that is actually ac?

stephenw10 commented 5 years ago

I'm also testing this. What channel do you suggest? I don't see anything listed that is specifically .11ac. What should be possible in FreeBSD 12? Works great in .11n mode though.

Thank you all for your hard work, I will take a look into this and make any change necessary to get ac working, I will make an implementation and test ticket and please if you could follow up with that ticket in the coming up weeks. I'll submit an update on the ticket once I have it working or once I believe its working.

Hello everyone! I had the same issue as @Emrion so I followed your work and I built the bin/ko files for the kernel and modules.

Unfortunately, I had the same crashes than @Emrion, so I tried to download the bin files from your Google Drive @Geramy and... I really don't understand what I am supposed to do with those files :-/

Do I need to rename all of them to match the ko files? Do I need to remove the previous bin files I built and moved to /boot/modules? Are all of those files important or only the board ones?

Sorry but I am completely lost here :-(

Thanks in avance for your response!
