SPU Problems on Linux > 3.2, OpenCL related

As far as I know, I'm the only coding OpenCL on the Cell here, if someone want to test something be warned that due some spufs changes that ppc-kernel-devs are (maybe) trying to fix, latest 3.3/3.4/3.5 branches falls into 'possible circular locking dependency detected' and slowdown runtime.

  • It's stable until 3.2 branch.
  • Even disabling lock debugging it slowdowns without warnings, it happens even with OpenCL samples from IBM.

http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.ppc.embedded/50547

Latest tested kernels:

  • 3.2.55 works fine
# ./perlin
OpenCL took 22.496168 seconds to compute 1000 frames. Pixel Rate = 46.611316 Mpixels/sec, Frame Rate = 44.452015 frames/sec
Host code took 12.620616 seconds to compute 10 frames. Pixel Rate = 0.830844 Mpixels/sec, Frame Rate = 0.792354 frames/sec
OpenCL provided a 56.101182 speedup
  • 3.3.3/3.4.6/3.5.3 falls into 'possible circular locking dependency detected' and slowdown runtime

Here the slowdown effect: 

# ./perlin
OpenCL took 93.280273 seconds to compute 1000 frames. Pixel Rate = 11.241133 Mpixels/sec, Frame Rate = 10.720380 frames/sec
Host code took 12.948244 seconds to compute 10 frames. Pixel Rate = 0.809821 Mpixels/sec, Frame Rate = 0.772305 frames/sec
OpenCL provided a 13.881010 speedup

In this specific case time spent is 4x to do the same thing!
When program runs something is going weird, e.g. in my program I'm used to query an OpenCL builtin function to tell me how many available SPEs there are, and its reply 8.
Using spu_base.enum_shared=1 parameter it should reply 7, so seems that the issue is OpenCL related.

OtherOS region

OtherOS/OtherOS++ region is on HDD (ps3dd), we have new linux tools (ps3sed) and drivers.
To resize ps3da I've tried new ps3sed (manually), unsuccesfully: GameOS always detect corruption and redo its own things.

I've found a way to force resize on 4.46, no emer_init patch, no downgrading: GameOS respect standards.
I can now resize ps3da at arbitrary size.
Swapping HDD on pc is necessary to me to send a couple to SET MAX ADDRESS ata commands to get the job done: set the limit, left GameOS (partition and) format, then reset size back the same way.
On boot all regions are fine, plus empty space as tail, nice to fit a fouth region.

Here I've forced ps3da to use 1216709344 sectors, this left me about 16G for ps3dd.
After that GameOS do it own things, I've resetted ps3da to its real geometry (1250263728) and booted a new petitboot.

root@ps3-linux:~# reboot && exit

Last number 1 is wrong, it says that last region has only one acl entry, we need to fix it at 8 entries:

  • manually with ps3sed
  • rebooting

Petitboot finally detect a new ps3dd device, the fourth region, of (33554376 * 512 =) 17179840512 bytes.
All of this with a 3.10.26 kernel and new tools: no vflash hacking involved, linux on vflash7 is deprecated.

Sometimes HDD is reported as second device (something buggy in my kernel?):

ps3vuart-tools

We miss some stuff from old ps3sm-utils, looking to port: temperature, get_fan_policy and set_fan_policy to new ps3vuart-tools.
We need to enable some sort of fan control on petitboot now.

UPL.xml.pkg is decrypted using pkg keyset [0x0000 03.55], UPL.xml.pkg.spkg_hdr.1 is decrypted using spkg keyset for > 3.55: only Metadata Info and Signature changes.

I think that on 3.55 all .spkg_hdr.1 files are not involved in updating, on 3.56 all of them are used as in overlayfs, so all .spkg_hdr.1 files are readed as metadata headers, decrypted by newer spkg keyset to get the same SCE keys to get rest of data decrypted.
