Open Sound System

the latest -CURRENT have one significant change - function msleep() renamed to _sleep() and now msleep is a macros. So as result osscore module can't be loaded. I implemented function msleep() in osscore.c according to sys/systm.h header (convert macros to function), but system has been unstable. It's panic's with message "spin locks can only use msleep_spin". Changing call from _sleep() to msleep_spin() in my msleep() implementation solve stability problem.

My system is FreeBSD 7-CURRENT amd64.

Has anybody tried this with an -CURRENT from june (including this patch)? Got the same panics and haven't got the time to really look into it...

i have tried to install oss on freebsd-7-current
i tried from ports - marked as broken for 7
i tried as a package

i tried from source too, but on last step (make install) it fails

so far i cant get it working on freebsd 7 current (i386)

Hi!
This error is because bus_setup_intr changed a bit - see the last part of the patch. If you apply that part it will compile. BUT: it will fail miserably with a panic if you install it and try osstest for instance. The panic will be "spin locks can only use msleep_spin".
Hmm... and I don't know what the other parts of the patch should do?!? Perhaps I have a block... or not the deeper knowledge of OSS :wink:

But somehow I couldn't find where msleep was really used? And that patch doesn't do *anything* to a current -CURRENT! Posted to the developers-mailing-list but haven't got a response yet.
In my opinion it would be nice to have such a great thing as OSS ready and working till the time 7.0 is out. As I stated on the mailing-list: would be glad to help!

Hi,

The FreeBSD support is broken up into two parts - one that is kernel version independant - that code is at:
oss-4.0/kernel/OS/FreeBSD/

Now the second part that is OS version dependent is in: oss-4.0/setup/FreeBSD/build/oss/osscore.c

on the web it's http://manuals.opensound.com/sources (look under FreeBSD)

So you may have to make fixes for kernel functions in both places.

Well.... I am really PUZZLED right now and I don't really know what to do... Sure, I found that directory earlier.... but as I have stated: I'm nor that good in hardware-programming (though I volunteer as a tester): what should I do now? I'm helpless at the moment... and sure I can wait till the next release - but in this case I will fall back to a cheap soundcard using the FreeBSD drivers..

Posted: **Wed Jun 27, 2007 6:12 am**

well

i have cheap audigy se (CA0106-DAT) the one from few unsupported by kernel driver, thats why i tried oss, but i guess i'll wait for a while and hold to my onboard realtek audio.

Binaries in the package use function msleep, which became macros, so as result compiled kernel module failed to load with a symbol resolution error. First part of the patch remove msleep macros and implement msleep function using msleep_spin. I using this patch for build #1002 and cannot test it for #1003 due to lack of time.

Well, the first part of the patch isn't valid for an up to date -CURRENT, that's for sure!

And it's difficult to say if there were changes between #1002 and #1003 since there is no RCS of some sort.... I think I'll wait till 7 comes out and stick to some cheap soundcard till then using the usual FreeBSD drivers.

Banging my head against the desk... the patch should fix it... could those people using -CURRENT please verify or modify?

FYI, I have submitted similar patches to FreeBSD port maintainer and it is now committed:

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?200707121840.l6CIed6e086062

I have little more intrusive patch here:

http://people.freebsd.org/~jkim/oss-gpl-4.0-build1003.diff

I did not perform thorough tests but it seems to work for me. Also, it needs more testing with WITNESS and INVARIANTS options and on -STABLE kernel.

I have found another bug. Since they added license type in the version string, it started overflowing the buffer. 'Bad things' may happen when version string is copied with ioctl(SNDCTL_SYSINFO). The following patch fixes the problem:

Obviously it changes the version format but we have no choice because we don't want to break API. :-(

I have updated the patches against newer ports:

I have to warn you that some things are purely guess work. Someone from 4Front should take a look at it.

Sorry, couldn't reply earlier - had some wine-induced problems...

The patch works! I discovered another problem though (with or without the patch applied): try starting something like esd, do something sound-related, stop/kill esd and try to do a soundoff... it always gives me a message that the modules are busy, but apparently no processes use them?!? it is a buildworld on -CURRENT from friday - if you need more input, tell me! I'll try to give feedback ASAP...

This problem is also in -STABLE ...

I have an Audigy 2, osscore/sblive/vmix
