XEN3.4.2源码编译之显卡，网卡问题

以前源码编译安装没碰到过这些问题，但前些天在源码编译安装的时候，问题来了，不错，还是学到不少。首先，在虚拟机上源码问题安装，一切ok,在物理机上安装，两台机器，一台是intel的集成显卡，于是进不了X window, googled a lot 原来这是一个bug,在 xen maillist发现有个团队专门在解决这个问题，xen在显卡方面还是有很多问题的，大概在2010年5月份也放出了几个patch, 我试了一下，有些文件能打成功，有些不行，最后直接yum install kernel-xen, 用CentOS自带的kernel-xen内核，使用自己编译的xen3.4.2, 搞定;  另一台机器，好吧，这些机器像是故意折腾我似的。。。装好后无显卡问题，但是网卡有问题，激活不了，googled and googled again,  最后啊。。。最后直接下载新的驱动，安装之，搞定。。。。。累就一个字。。。。

最常用的几个命令：lsmod, insmod ,modprobe ,dmesg ,lspci

网卡:

07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5722 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express

于是去官方网站上下载了最新的tg3驱动: linux-3.110g.zip

不知为何Building Driver From TAR File没成功，于是Install the source RPM package:

照着它自带的readme文件源码编译成网卡内核模块，再insmod加载进内核，重启，搞定。

Introduction
============

This file describes the tg3 Linux driver for the Broadcom NetXtreme
10/100/1000 Mbps PCI/PCI-X/PCI Express Ethernet Network Controllers.
The latest driver is in the latest 2.6 Linux kernel. It can also be
downloaded from http://www.broadcom.com as a source package, but is
generally not necessary to do so if you are using the latest 2.6
upstream kernel from http://www.kernel.org or one of the latest
vendor kernels from Red Hat, SUSE, or others.

The tg3 driver from the Broadcom package is almost identical to the
tg3 driver in the latest 2.6 upstream Linux kernel. It includes some
additional kernel compatible code to allow it to compile on older 2.6
and some 2.4 kernels. The version number is also similar but generally
has a one letter suffix at the end, (e.g. 3.55b) to distinguish it from
the in-kernel tg3 driver.

The next few sections on packaging, compiling, and installation apply
mostly to the Broadcom driver package only.

Limitations
===========

The current version of the driver has been tested on 2.4.x kernels starting
from 2.4.24 and all 2.6.x kernels. The driver may not compile on kernels
older than 2.4.24. Testing is concentrated on i386 and x86_64 architectures.
Only limited testing has been done on some other architectures such as
powerpc and sparc64.

Minor changes to some source files and Makefile may be needed on some
kernels.

Forcing 1 Gigabit speed in a copper environment is not supported and may
result in connection issues with certain switches.

SLES 11 Considerations
======================

Starting with SLES 11, all modules not compiled by Novell will refuse to load
through modprobe by default.  Externally compiled modules can be loaded if the
"allow_unsupported_modules" flag is toggled in
/etc/modprobe.d/unsupported-modules, however this will render your kernel and
whole system unsupportable through Novell.  Please refer to the SLES 11 release
notes for more details.

Packaging
=========

To replace an older previously installed or in-kernel tg3 driver, follow
the instructions below.

The driver package from http://www.broadcom.com is released in two packaging
formats: source RPM and compressed tar formats. The file names for the two
packages are tg3-.src.rpm and tg3-.tar.gz respectively.
Identical source files to build the driver are included in both packages.

Installing Source RPM Package
=============================

The following are general guidelines for installing the driver.

1. Install the source RPM package:

   rpm -ivh tg3-.src.rpm

2. CD to the RPM path and build the binary driver for your kernel:

   cd /usr/src/{RedHat,OpenLinux,turbo,packages,rpm ..}

   rpm -bb SPECS/tg3.spec

or

   rpmbuild -bb SPECS/tg3.spec (for RPM version 4.x.x)

Note that the RPM path is different for different Linux distributions.

The driver will be compiled for the running kernel by default. To build
the driver for a kernel different than the running one, specify the
kernel by defining it in KVER:

   rpmbuild -bb SPECS/tg3.spec --define "KVER "

where in the form of 2.x.y-z is the version of another
kernel that is installed on the system.

3. Install the newly built package (driver and man page):

   rpm -ivh RPMS//tg3-..rpm

is the architecture of the machine, e.g. i386:

   rpm -ivh RPMS/i386/tg3-.i386.rpm

Note that the --force option may be needed on some Linux distributions
if conflicts are reported.

The driver will be installed in the following path:

2.4.x kernels:

    /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/tg3.o

2.6.x kernels:

    /lib/modules//kernel/drivers/net/tg3.ko

4. Load the driver:

   insmod tg3.o
or
   insmod tg3.ko (on 2.6.x kernels)
or
   modprobe tg3

5. To configure network protocol and address, refer to various Linux
documentations.

Building Driver From TAR File
=============================

The following are general guidelines for installing the driver.

1. Create a directory and extract the files:

   tar xvzf tg3-.tar.gz

2. Build the driver tg3.o (or tg3.ko) as a loadable module for the
running kernel:

   cd src
   make

The driver will be compiled for the running kernel by default. To build
the driver for a kernel different than the running one, specify the
kernel by defining it in KVER:

  make KVER=

where in the form of 2.x.y-z is the version of another
kernel that is installed on the system.

3. Test the driver by loading it:

   insmod tg3.o
or
   insmod tg3.ko (on 2.6.x kernels)
or
   insmod tg3

4. Install the driver:

   make install

See RPM instructions above for the location of the installed driver.

5. To configure network protocol and address, refer to various Linux
documentations.

Driver Settings
===============

This and the rest of the sections below apply to both the in-kernel tg3
driver and the tg3 driver package from Broadcom.

Driver settings can be queried and changed using ethtool. The latest ethtool
can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gkernel if it is not
already installed. The following are some common examples on how to use
ethtool. See the ethtool man page for more information. ethtool settings do
not persist across reboot or module reload. The ethtool commands can be put
in a startup script such as /etc/rc.local to preserve the settings across a
reboot. On Red Hat distributions, "ethtool -s" parameters can be specified
in the ifcfg-ethx scripts using the ETHTOOL_OPTS keyword. The specified
ethtool parameters will be set during ifup. Example:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:

ETHTOOL_OPTS="wol g speed 100 duplex half autoneg off"

Some ethtool examples:

1. Show current speed, duplex, and link status:

   ethtool eth0

2. Change speed, duplex, autoneg:

Example: 100Mbps half duplex, no autonegotiation:

   ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex half autoneg off

Example: Autonegotiation with full advertisement:

   ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on

Example: Autonegotiation with 100Mbps full duplex advertisement only:

   ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg on

3. Show flow control settings:

   ethtool -a eth0

4. Change flow control settings:

Example: Turn off flow control

   ethtool -A eth0 autoneg off rx off tx off

Example: Turn flow control autonegotiation on with tx and rx advertisement:

   ethtool -A eth0 autoneg on rx on tx on

   Note that this is only valid if speed is set to autonegotiation.

5. Show offload settings:

   ethtool -k eth0

6. Change offload settings:

Example: Turn off TSO (TCP segmentation offload)

   ethtool -K eth0 tso off

7. Get statistics:

   ethtool -S eth0

8. Perform self-test:

   ethtool -t eth0

   Note that the interface (eth0) must be up to do all tests.

9. See ethtool man page for more options.

Driver Defaults
===============

Speed :                    Autonegotiation with all speeds advertised

Flow control :             Autonegotiation with rx and tx advertised

MTU :                      1500 (range 46 - 9000)

                           Some chips do not support jumbo MTUs bigger than
                           1500

Rx Ring Size :              200 (range 0 - 511)

                            Some chips are fixed at 64

Rx Jumbo Ring Size :        100 (range 0 - 255)

                            Not all chips support the jumbo ring, and some
                            chips that support jumbo frames do not use the
                            jumbo ring.

Tx Ring Size :              511 (range (MAX_SKB_FRAGS+1) - 511)

                            MAX_SKB_FRAGS varies on different kernels and
                            different architectures. On a 2.6 kernel for
                            x86, MAX_SKB_FRAGS is 18.

Coalesce rx usecs :          20 (range 0 - 1023)

Coalesce rx usecs irq :      20 (range 0 - 255)
Coalesce rx frames :          5 (range 0 - 1023)

Coalesce rx frames irq :      5 (range 0 - 255)

Coalesce tx usecs :          72 (range 0 - 1023)

Coalesce tx usecs irq :      20 (range 0 - 255)

Coalesce tx frames :         53 (range 0 - 1023)

Coalesce tx frames irq :     5 (range 0 - 255)

Coalesce stats usecs   : 1000000 (aprox. 1 sec.)

                             Some coalescing parameters are not used or have
                             different defaults on some chips

MSI :                      Enabled (if supported by the chip and passed
                                    the interrupt test)

TSO :                      Enabled on newer chips that support TCP segmentation
                           offload in hardware

WoL :                      Disabled

Unloading and Removing Driver
=============================

To unload the driver, use ifconfig to bring down all eth# interfaces opened
by the driver, then do the following:

rmmod tg3

Note that on 2.6 kernels, it is not necessary to bring down the eth#
interfaces before unloading the driver module.

If the driver was installed using rpm, do the following to remove it:

rpm -e tg3

If the driver was installed using make install from the tar file, the driver
tg3.o (or tg3.ko) has to be manually deleted from the system. Refer
to the section "Installing Source RPM Package" for the location of the
installed driver.

Driver Messages
===============

The following are the most common sample messages that may be logged in the file
/var/log/messages. Use dmesg -n to control the level at which messages
will appear on the console. Most systems are set to level 6 by default. To see
all messages, set the level higher.
