Trying to compile and install just a part of /usr/src

I

inurneck

Hello, I am trying to edit some of the code in /usr/src. Specifically:
/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/controller/usb_controller.c

And the only Makefile is at the root /usr/src

How do I tell the Makefile to recompile just the usb directory and install it oppose to building and installing world. This must be possible, I just don't know how. Thanks.
 
It's under /usr/src/sys thus can be compiled either as part of the kernel, or in the appropriate module (if possible). You should be able to go to /usr/src/sys/modules/usb/ & type # make depend && make all (I think) to build all the USB module(s). I don't know nor care to scratch out what modules under /usr/src/sys/modules/usb/ reference /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/controller/usb_controller.c, but I'm sure some poking around will tell you.
 
Thanks for your reply, I leaned out my kernel and made a custom one. I do not use modules at all I took them out of the config so the kernels devices are completely static. But i'll have a look around some more.
 
In which case to test your code you'll have to recompile your whole kernel. Not a big deal, I suppose, but you can't test the new code without a reboot.
 
I'll write this and be more specific while I await for more answers to my first post. This all stems from me still trying to get my mouse working! My kernel detects it fine it starts at boot, it runs in X flawlessly every option on it works but it completely and randomly sometimes after a minute in X or several hours it stops responding. The only way i can get it to work is rebooting. I tried restarting hald, dbus, devd i had moused in rc.conf i had each or all disabled, I have tried so many different varieties. Looking online I seen a post where this man HANS said that the guys usb controller crashed because it does what mine does (stops responding.) and when he unplugs it and plugs it back in it says USB_TIMEOUTT_ERROR device cant be assigned or similar. Before I go in x the mouse is fine and sometimes even fine in x for hours. Then it randomly dies. It starts automatically with devd currently. hald and dbus are enabled for gnome only because from what I read I believe gnome needs them.
Anyway what im doing is what hans said, hes editing the code to change the dma bits from 32 to 30 i went in my bios trying to fix this disabled everything parallel ports, serial anything not needed. I disabled my ps/2 port etc. When the box first boots i can take the mouse out and it disconnects showing me a message in /var/log/messages/ when i plug it back in it reconnects and does the same fine. But when it has this fit theres no arguing with it besides a reboot and it sucks. Te mouse stays lit up too it just dont work and when I cat /dev/ums0 it always says device busy. Its like something locks up. This post is long enough as it is but if you want to help tell me what other info you need and ill be grateful to help you help me get this fixed im beyond annoyed here. At first i thought it was dbus or hald and now I know its not them at all because i had them disabled at one point. oh theres one more thing. when it does crash or whatever i login remotely and kill xinit i look around but im probably not looking in the right places. theres no log in /var/log/messages its not a very verbose error. Anyway when it crashes if i restart /etc/rc.d/devd that happens but the mouse dont work and hald cpu goes thru the roof. again though i had hald and dbus both disabled and it did not solve the problem. im posting this now before my mouse dies or im gonna be beyond pissed. lol.
 
Ok ill compile a new kernel now after i edit that code like hans said. ive been leaning out the kernel i got it at 5 megabytes lol i got /usr src /usr/obj /var/tmp and /tmp all running from MD and i did 98% of it from info right here you are all very intelligent and helpful. Thanks to this site and howtos my kernel compiles in just two minutes.
 
Heres some more info i know your gonna want. Keep in mind it did this since the stock install of 8.0 witht he generic kernel so I do not think its anything i did tooling around with all the things im learning on this system. Heres some info.

This is similar to the error I get when it does crash and i try to unplug and then plug it back in.

So ive come a long way with this box after this mouse quest i only have one other problem which might be tied in. the network usually either right before or right after this mouse crash happens completely drops. i have the onboard ethernet controller off cause im not using it (im onto something as i write this.) im actually using a network card thats in a pci slot. It came with both i left it in because I wanted to learn how to set this up as a gateway but that can wait especially if it fixes the problem. I wonder if I take that network card out, turn on the motherboard ethernet and use that if it will free something up thats causing this. I dont use both, and they both work and are in my kernel. So its worth a shit right. heh.
 
err. i just took that network card out and enabled the one builtin to the mb. but im finishing this post with just keyboard shortcuts and without a mouse it died within a minute of being in x.. I came right here upon boot. One thing it did change though is when the boot screen was coming up and it got to the mouse usually it hangs there slightly about 4 seconds. it didnt, it booted really fast. i have other pcs on my network when is the best time to debug this, now right? how can i debug this what should I run while it is crashed, type it out and post it here from another computer? I have tried near everything now.. Thanks. Ive posted a lot ill sit for some replies while I try what i was originaly doing with the code in usb_controller.c im gonna change the dma bits from 32 to 30 recompile a kernel and see what happens. Maybe its this shitty KVM switch. I have the keyboard plugged into an inland ps/2 2 port KVM switch but the mouse connected directly into the box's usb port because i need the keyboard to change boxes ex: scrl lock scrl lock ^ But I dont think that should matter its the mouse giving me problems not the keyboard.
 
I just got this out of /var/log/Xorg.0.log is this or my Etc/x11/xorg.conf helpful?

Moused is still running, the mouse is lit up, usbconfig is the same output even though the mouse has crashed. etc.. I feel like im spamming my own thread i'll give everyone time to wake up and appreciate any ideas to solutions. Im rebooting the box anyway.
 
What about these errors with gnome? Have anything to do with it. Thats just some of them I get all kinds of them for some reason. Lastly how do I edit a previous post so I can add to them instead of reposting all the time. Id like to condense a few of these and clean it up. but I cant seem to find the option to do so.

I have to update my src again because i rebooted and /usr/src is MD. Gonna change those bits from 32 to 30 in /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/controller/usb_controller.c like i originally intended and see if that changes anything.

Of course it's a big bright red button in front of my face.. >
 
I rebooted into the kernel with the edited /usr/src/sys/dev/usb/controller/usb_controller.c file and as soon as i am done supping /usr/src/ again (md, remember) ill show you all exactly what i changed. Is there a way to verify it worked and anything changed for my peace of mind? If you open the file above and search for 32 change it to 30 thats all i did. In the post above i showed you my vmstat -i before and here it is.
Code: 
[root@daemon /etc]# vmstat -i
interrupt total rate
irq1: atkbd0 24160 3
irq10: ohci0 51143 7

cpu1: timer 13605210 1999

now with the edited kernel, I get this,
take a look at ohci0 thats USB
Code: 
[root@daemon /]# vmstat -i

I dont know if this helped as it takes time for the mouse to die but so far so good. a lot of this I am still learning i just read on vmstat and interrupts so a lot of it is over my head but im starting to understand it. From what i can see its interrupting a lot less now? But at the same time, the box may have been up longer and it just grew. On a box with no issues, what should vmstat -i be showing, are either of the vmstats above unusual? I hope im making sense as i said im still learning im good with computers and well rounded off the waters up to my neck right now and im holding on learning as i go.
 
its climbing

its only been a few minutes.
 
I just wanted to let you all know I fixed it, I am not one to wait around so hopefully someone will learn from this thread. Unfortunately it's one of those pull your hair out problems that your never sure how you precisely fixed it because you did so much so fast. I did a lot of researching and reading, and twice as much trial and error. I ended up with this 85% done config file, I am now using what I believe is a better and newer RAID controller for my card ahc instead of aic that may have done it but as you can see here:

Code: 
[root@daemon /]# vmstat -i

Im getting some joy.
I'll keep you updated if the problem persists but I am stress testing the hell out of this box and so far it's much faster and more stable. Heres the config I ended up with for a dell poweredge 2400

I still got some final tweaking to do but I consider it 80% leaned out.

Let me know if you see anything that does not belong. I disabled ACPI and I am getting some errors during boot but im under the impression they are nothing to worry about from what I have read. Here's my dmesg in the next post as the forums limiting me to 10,000 chars.

I'm not sure, but I think you should break your ideas/problems down into discreet groups and make separate threads in the appropriate categories.

The mouse problem is one that I dealt with back in the 6.x days by throwing the offending mouse away.

I don't know much about gnome, & I seriously wish I knew even less.

Insofaras your kernel tuning goes, I'm guessing that NO_F00F_HACK is pretty meaningless without I586_CPU*, & the other stuff may or may not be as meaningful. Don't get too excited about stripping stuff out, you aren't going to gain a terrible lot unless your system is particularly slow, old, or space restricted.




*to quote /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/NOTES:
# NO_F00F_HACK disables the hack that prevents Pentiums (and ONLY
# Pentiums) from locking up when a LOCK CMPXCHG8B instruction is
# executed. This option is only needed if I586_CPU is also defined,
# and should be included for any non-Pentium CPU that defines it.

Thanks for the good advice. I am losing my patience with gnome, and fast. It's just so bloated, dbus is ridiculous I don't know why it's so tedious with xml file configs. hald is just hald. I want a different windows manager so I can get rid of this shit all together but all thats out there it seems is either gnome, which we both decided on that one apparently. Then theres enlightenment which I love but it's so damn buggy, I really wish they would relax on adding more stuff and just make what they have already stable. Maybe i'll give that another go, I have it e17 installed already. The rest of the window managers to me are just too damn simple. Although, as they say keep it simple stupid, I probably would not have any problems with them. What window manager is a good balance nowadays? As far as the no foof hack option I noticed that today and took it out I was up real late lastnight I guess I seen all pentiums and was just paste happy at the time. Im actually having a lot of fun trying to make the kernel as small and stable as possible, more importantly im learning a lot and havent broken anything yet. Actually thats not true. I mean permanently ;) so Far ive been able to fix what ive broken thats how i am learning. Anyway thanks for your input.
