Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-i386->freebsd-stable Punt to -stable, as this is not specifically an i386 issue. Author: marius Date: Thu Aug 1 13:18:47 2013 New Revision: 253860 URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/253860 Log: MFC: r249410 (partial) Remove ctl(4) from GENERIC. With ctl(4) being built as a module and automatically loaded by ctladm(8), this makes CTL work out of the box. Note that unlike the original r249410, this commit does not remove the kern.cam.ctl.disable tunable for POLA reasons.

The 9.1 installer panics when kmem_malloc() fails on smaller embedded i386 architecture systems due to an autoscaling problem and CTL. This is 100% reproducible until certain parameters are set via the loader during install: FreeBSD Installer ÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒ ÏÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒArchive ExtractionÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÎ ¯ ¯ ¯ base.txz [ 57% ] ¯ ¯ kernel.txz [ Pending ]panic: kmem_malloc( 4096): kmem_map too small: 38060032 total allocated ¯ cpuid = 0 ¯ Extracting distribution files... ¯ KDB: stack backtrace: ¯ #0 0xc0af3aff at kdb_backtrace+0x4fssÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÎ ¯ #1 0xc0ac052f at panic+0x16f 53% ¯ ¯ #2 0xc0d2caea at kmem_malloc+0x28aÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÍ ¯ #3 0xc0d202b7 at page_alloc+0x27ÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÒÍ #4 0xc0d22bca at keg_alloc_slab+0x10a #5 0xc0d23164 at keg_fetch_slab+0xd4 #6 0xc0d234ec at zone_fetch_slab+0x4c #7 0xc0d24ade at uma_zalloc_arg+0x4ae #8 0xc0aab29a at malloc+0x5a #9 0xc0ce922a at newjsegdep+0x2a #10 0xc0cf5a89 at newjaddref+0x69 #11 0xc0cf5b16 at softdep_setup_inomapdep+0x56 #12 0xc0cd9398 at ffs_nodealloccg+0x728 #13 0xc0cd3d91 at ffs_hashalloc+0x41 #14 0xc0cd8913 at ffs_valloc+0x4a3 #15 0xc0d15c14 at ufs_makeinode+0xa4 #16 0xc0d164a0 at ufs_create+0x30 #17 0xc0e48412 at VOP_CREATE_APV+0x42 Uptime: 8m5s Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort --> Press a key on the console to reboot, --> or switch off the system now. Fix: Set these parameters via the loader before booting the install image, and the install succeeds: kern.cam.ctl.disable=1 vm.kmem_size_scale=1 Neither parameter, by itself, is enough for the install to complete, both are required. Autoscaling appears to fail on smaller platforms. How-To-Repeat: - Install FreeBSD 9.1/i386 from the USB installer image onto any i386 system with less than about 256 or 384M of DRAM.
