ooooh fun
<geist>
whatcha gonna do about the udp4/udp6 and tcp4/tcp6 split?
<geist>
trying to unify the code or fork?
<geist>
was vaguely pondering the notion of doing it in C++ and using a template specialization to avoid *too* many ifs
<geist>
but really depends on what the delta is
<heat_>
udp has some templating on the sending side because it's super simple
<heat_>
I realised tcp is way more complex and because of that I just eat the if(effective_domain() == AF_INET) do_this(); else do_that();
heat_ is now known as heat
<heat>
templating it all would not be fun
<heat>
and as far as I can tell, linux agrees with me (udp6 is copied from udp4, but they share most of the tcp and have a tcp_ipv4 and tcp_ipv6)
<heat>
the way I designed my sockets, my tcp stack only really needs to branch on sending and calculating the checksum
<heat>
i abstract a lot of details with my proto_family (which is implemented by inet and inet6)
<heat>
a side effect is that v6's proto_family needs to route a lot of functions to v4 because of the hybrid ipv6 stack
srjek has quit [Ping timeout: 256 seconds]
<heat>
i feel like these old rfcs are really hard to read
<heat>
very obtuse
<geist>
heat: good to know. i honestly haven't really looekd much into it
<geist>
may simply be if nothing else because udp is simple enough there's not enough shared code by volume
<geist>
but tcp most of the complexity is stuff that's the same since it's far more complex than udp
<heat>
yah udp can just be a dumb thing that prepares a udp datagram and sends it to the next layer
<geist>
also haven't looked into thed rtails but i guess with lack of fragmentation at the ip level and whatnot things may be different a bit there (with udp)
<geist>
right, udp being basically ip + port
<heat>
my way of dealing with the lack of fragmentation is that I just don't
<heat>
path mtu detection is complicated and I haven't found a non 1500 mtu yet
<kazinsal>
iirc PPPoE sometimes uses an MTU of 1492
<geist>
yah eactly, because of some vlan stuff. i actually used to have a smaller mtu at my house because of precisely that
<geist>
i remember having some problem once with something as a result
<geist>
it's because the pipe coming in my house was a vlan + pppoe on top of it
<geist>
both of those together chewed up some of it
<kazinsal>
PPP over ATM is much nicer because you don't have to worry about that since it uses AAL5, which lets you do variable length packets over ATM cells
<heat>
actually pmtud doesn't look that complex
<geist>
yah i remember looking into it and that was basically why it was delivered pppoe into the house. the fiber -> ethernet box on the outside of the house was basically deframing ATM and plonking it on an ethernet interface
<geist>
it used different vlans because i think there was a possibility of other vlans for video and voice
<heat>
i still have a lot on my plate though. basically a decent implementation of rfc793 and then I'll go through 1122 and see what I'm missing
<kazinsal>
IP fragmentation is just a nightmare that really only works properly in the context of classic internet protocol end-to-end philosophy
<geist>
nice, someone installed some sort of ADT security system on their house and used my email address for notifications
<geist>
so i get stuff like 'your upstairs window is open'
<heat>
and then all the other rfcs. this osdev thing is hell and will never end
<kazinsal>
it doesn't work well with stateless firewalls, it doesn't work well with NAT, it doesn't work well with policy based routing, it doesn't work well with ECMP
<geist>
heat: but we like it because we're all masochists
<heat>
amen
<heat>
"when will you end your OS?" "N E V E R"
<heat>
kazinsal, you do need to fragment though
<heat>
stupid protocols like udp need it
<kazinsal>
and it sucks
<geist>
that's a diff of udp6 though right? since ip can do it, you simply return error if you tell it to do something that can't be fragmented?
<kazinsal>
when SSLVPNs started using DTLS it became a friggin nightmare
<heat>
ipv6 can do it too
<heat>
the only difference is that *routers* can't fragment your packets
<geist>
hmm, i thought fragmentation wasnt part of the ip layer?
<geist>
ah
<geist>
but is it assumed to reassemble at the other end as a single udp packet?
<kazinsal>
yeah
<geist>
you know i guess it has to anyway, because of ethernet level fragmentation/reassembly
<geist>
which modern nics do out the wazoo
<geist>
so you need at least the ability for things to get fragemented and reassembled there
<geist>
and thus there has to be enough infos in the ip4/6 header
<kazinsal>
I'm not 100% sure if IPv4 routers are allowed to look at datagrams that need to be fragmented and go "lol do it yourself" and send back an ICMP Fragmentation Needed
<kazinsal>
that's what you're supposed to do if DF is set
<kazinsal>
but if it's not set I'm unsure as to whether or not that's a legal action
<heat>
lets see
<geist>
for some reason i'm thinking no, down to some sort of minimum mtu of 512 iirc
<heat>
576 is the minimum mtu for ipv4
<geist>
is that with or without headers?
<heat>
kazinsal, they're not
<heat>
rfc1812 says "Fragmentation, as described in [INTERNET:1], MUST be supported by a router."
<heat>
geist, including headers
<kazinsal>
unsurprising
<geist>
heat: yeah smells like 512 payload plus some overhead of something
<kazinsal>
I think 60 bytes is the maximum allowed IP header size
<geist>
does remind me i was thinking of implementing SLIP so i can talk to my 68k board
nyah has quit [Quit: leaving]
<geist>
which has a second serial port
<kazinsal>
20 bytes + up to 40 bytes of options
<geist>
yah 512 + 60 + 4 would get you 576
<geist>
maybe the 4 is some sort of slip header or whatnot at the time
<geist>
since i think most inter computer interconnects at the time were some form of serial
<kazinsal>
yeah, lots of weird little things like that
<geist>
or say 2 bytes of length + 2 bytes of checksum + data
<heat>
"For example, this size allows a data block of 512 octets plus 64 header octets to fit in a datagram."
<heat>
The maximal internet header is 60 octets, and a typical internet header is 20 octets, allowing a margin for headers of higher level protocols."
* geist
throws your octets on the ground
<heat>
oh no not my octets
<geist>
i'm not part of your SYSTEM
<kazinsal>
ICMP's minimum header size is 4 bytes
<kazinsal>
so that makes sense
<heat>
these really old rfcs really insist on the octet thing
<klange>
_byte_ isn't/wasn't defined as an octet, and when you're talking about bits on the wire it's important to specify
<geist>
yah totally. really important for 9 or 12 or whatnot bit systems
<heat>
by 1989 (rfc1122) they kinda gave up
<geist>
which does raise the point if you had a non 8 bit multiple system, what was the usual encoding for this stuff
<heat>
18 mentions of octet vs 11 "byte"
<geist>
like pdp10 was a big machine with lots of internet stuffs on it. 36 bits
<geist>
i had read somewhere that AOL was one of the last ones still using it pretty late in the game (or was it compuserv?_
<geist>
)
<geist>
i vaguely remember at Danger we had some trouble talking to the AOL instant messenger servers for our whole proxy thing for the Hiptop
<klange>
depending on how late in the game, compuserv _was_ AOL
<geist>
because turns out i think we were talking to some sort of bespoke user space net stack they were running and our Solaris machines were having trouble with their tcp/ip 'stack'
<geist>
but they weren't used to holding network connections to peer servers outside of their cluster
<geist>
so even by the early 2000s they were still using TOPS-20 or something like that
<kingoffrance>
^ yeah you can research where early tcp started, what os and machines
<kingoffrance>
or precursors perhaps, dont know details
<kingoffrance>
"testbeds"
<kingoffrance>
they couldve called them dollars, pieces of eight
<klys>
so I am now curious about doing math with tables (for example a ~1kb trig table that translates fixed point radians to sin/cos), or 1/x tables, or larger mul/div tables, and am curious if anyone here has seen such tables smployed in code
<heat>
>math
<heat>
>tables
<heat>
that's my cue to leave
<heat>
screw dem tables
<klys>
pretty sure that's how your fpu does trig, with a hardwired slide rule
<Mutabah>
I've definitely heard of the concept
<geist>
i think it was super common in the day to precompute sin/cos to say 1000 units (or 250 and mirror) and then just lerp between
<Mutabah>
^
<geist>
for games and whatnot where it's not that important it be super accurate, but fast
<geist>
x86 cpus at least that implement them in hardware (dont think any other modern cpu has trig functions in hrdware) i think use a combination of tables + an interative method
<klys>
so actually may be looking for examples of such tables
<geist>
was thinking a bug in one of the tables was part of the pentium debacle?
<geist>
yah i remember at the time it was basically a non issue for the vast majority of people, but intel botched it and turned it into a much bigger issue
<klys>
there's a plot of the results of intel's fdiv bug
<geist>
yep
<geist>
ah that was back when byte magazine was actually a thing and was good

When you have encapsulation, like pppoe, the mtu can get smaller so the encapsulated frame is still 1500 byte. The problem with pppoe is/was that the commercial routers did NOT do fragmentation. So any frame over 1492 byte got just dropped. So under linux you would clamp the IP mtu discovery to the physical MTU of the ppp0 device (1492) forcing servers on the internet to never send you too large frames.
<kazinsal>
rewriting my internal API standards etc before I get too deep into porting/adapting/rewriting my kernel as a 64-bit portable one. think I'm still going to keep the PfxOperationObject format for function names as I rather like it
<mrvn>
PfxOperationObject format?
<kazinsal>
the Windows API function naming convention with a 2 (if possible) letter prefix, then a verb-noun function description
<j`ey>
NetTransferIPv4

BlkSubmitSCSI
<kazinsal>
DbgCrashSystem
<j`ey>
idk if they're correct examples :P
<mrvn>
Pfx, Net, Blk? I count 3 there, not 2.
<kazinsal>
the original intent in the Windows API was to always use two letter prefixes like Mm or Ke or Io or Ps
<mrvn>
By the way, the vowel shortness of the last millenium has past.
<mrvn>
I would probably call the functions: Net::IPv4::transfer, SCSI::submit_block
<mrvn>
or Block::SCSI::submit
<kazinsal>
that would require using C++ and I am not using C++

or I suppose Rust uses that notation but I do not know Rust

Guys, on ARM, can you set the page size to a really small value like 128B or 64B?
<mrvn>
nope
<Jmabsd>
what's the smallest? on Intel apparently there's a trick to get 128B
<mrvn>
4k
<Jmabsd>
aww :-( on intel the trick is EPT
<mrvn>
European Poker Tour?
<kazinsal>
Extended Page Tables
<kazinsal>
basically intel's implementation of nested paging
<mrvn>
how does that get you below 4k page size?
<kazinsal>
it includes a sub-page RO bit thing that lets you split a 4KiB guest page into 128-byte subpages for toggling R/W access
<kazinsal>
it's not a full implementation of sub-4KiB pages but it gives you more granular access control
<kazinsal>
I don't believe it incurs any translation penalty either
<mrvn>
ARM lets you have smaller page tables though.
<mrvn>
it's actually kind of screwy with the second level page tables being 1k in size.

i can reproduce the error when i try to ldd an aarch64 on an x86 system

that's what I was originally thinking, it seems to be in the sysroot so it should be fine..
<clever>
the thing with ldd, is that it works in an incredibly non-obvious way
<clever>
ldd is a bash script, that runs the host ld-linux.so on the target binary, with a magic env var set
<clever>
so in my case, it ran an x86 ld-linux.so on an aarch64 elf binary
<clever>
[clever@amd-nixos:~]$ LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS=1 ls

this is the magic variable, and uses the correct ld-linux.so, from the elf headers of ls

re: small page sizes from before, the smallest i've seen in reasonably modern hardware is 512 bytes. that's what the VAX does
<zid>
You just need to stretch reasonably modern
<geist>
as a curio at least. 4K seemed to generally become the defacto standard in the early 80s, more or less simultaneously by second generation paging systems
<geist>
oh i think it's reasonably modern. 1977, just before the era of x86 and 68k
<zid>
So reasonably modern as in, relative to humanity
<zid>
rather than say, iphones
<geist>
and they were clearly inspired by it since it was the defacto standard for paged big systems in the early to mid 80s
<geist>
fine anyway. 512 bytes. there ya go
<zid>
512 seems nice
<zid>
it's small enough that you could just.. allocate right out of it
<geist>
seems reasoably sized for machines of the era at least. where say 4MB of ram was a pretty serious machine
<zid>
with a gig of ram, 512 bytes is a really nice granularity for malloc blocks imo
<geist>
4K paging you only have 1024 pages in that case
<zid>
go for a super thin OS that just uses the page tables directly :P
<geist>
vax page tables were interesting too: allocated linearly. no indirection, simply 0-N entries, where you can dynamically set N in the control register that sets the base
<geist>
so based o how big your process is you picked an N
<geist>
so i think when systems started getting biggr and bigger in the 80s, where say 128 or 256MB was starting to become more normal on a big VAX that was starting to get pretty large
<geist>
what i dunno is if vms or unices at the time on vax had some sort of notion of how big the process was, or if it was expected that the kernel would grow the page table over time by spilling over and then needing more of it

oh yeah

reminds me, i need to set up an appointment too. about that time
<jimbzy>
Yeah, I try to get mine done every 1-2 years depending on how the glasses hold up. Everything was just about the same, but my near-sightedness improved a bit.
<geist>
yeah sadlky i've hit the age where my eyes are progressively getting worse every year
<geist>
the doc said last time that sometimes that stabilizes after a few years, but so far nope
<jimbzy>
Mine go a little bit each year, too, but it as actually slowed down in recent years.
<geist>
now i an fairly strongly far sighted
<geist>
not toooo bad for getting around, but can no long focus on any detail, especially up close
<jimbzy>
Thank Odin for polycarbonate lenses, amiright?
<geist>
i guess nice thing is if i squint really hard i can focus on something up close, so worst case if i lost my glasses or something i could survive for a while, just not productive at any computer tasks or whatnot

I can read fine without my glasses, but everything past about 2' is a blur.

but most of the time i am wearing a second set of computer glasses, set with a fixed focal distance of about 20"
<sbalmos>
geist: don't worry about it until you've gone full-snobbery raising head and looking down your nose at something
<geist>
and they're fantastic
<sbalmos>
;)
<zid>
geist: I picture you as an old man looking down at his fancy electronic telephone screen at arm's length while peering down his nose
<sbalmos>
zid: dammit!
<geist>
sbalmos: yah alas that's precisely what you end up doing, but it's not beacuse you're a snob, it's because your glasses make you do that
<jimbzy>
What's wrong with that, zid?
<zid>
do you think something's wrong with it?
<sbalmos>
geist: I'll stick with snobbery. Better fits my snarky smartass personality at work. ;)
<geist>
noice
<jimbzy>
Hell no. I do it quite a bit myself when my lenses have gone full-dark outside
<geist>
but yeah with the bifocals you dont have to hold it at arms length at least, but you do have to hold it down
<zid>
sbalmos: You're still flying one of *those*?
<geist>
the part that was hardest to get used to with bifocals is stairs
<zid>
I'd make a great elistist, the problem is just the trivial fact that I don't know anything
<sbalmos>
zid: yer darn tootin'! I reckin'...
<geist>
that takes a while to get used to. the first few timse you'll feel like you'r going to teeter off into a void
<Griwes>
It's amazing what the brain can get accustomed to, whenever I get new glasses it takes me a couple of days to get accustomed to the warping of vision at the edges, but then at least a couple of weeks after that to get accustomed to *not* having the new warping when I take them off
<geist>
precisely
<jimbzy>
That's how i was with contacts. It was just like "Why is this all so clear!?!"
<zid>
I mean hell, after a few days you can completely flip your vision
<geist>
only bummer is when you get headaches or whatnot for a whie, but that usually goes
<zid>
upside down mirror glasses
<sbalmos>
ironically I can see and perceive the lense distance when I'm wearing my glasses vs contacts
<zid>
Do you guys see things like a 3D movie
<geist>
what i dont understand is if/how they do bifocals with contacts
<zid>
with red and blue separation around everything
<sbalmos>
geist: different power per eye
<zid>
vary the material same as regular lesnses
<zid>
?
<geist>
i vaguely remember different per eye
<geist>
and alas i dont think that'll work for me, because my left eye sucks balls
<jimbzy>
No, but I also can't watch 3D movies without getting a massive headache.
<geist>
basically lazy eye, but not in the looks off into the corner thing
<Griwes>
I should try contacts at some point
<zid>
That has a name I asked someone
<geist>
but because it's so much worse my brain doesn't really 'use' it
<Griwes>
Even if just to see how different they are
<zid>
but I forget what they answered
<sbalmos>
geist: yeah that's the interesting part in the next few years. my left eye is horrific. neither one is *bad bad*, but the left is comparably much worse. And astygmatism.
<geist>
right
<geist>
i have an eye patch that i fiddled with for a while, covering my right eye
<geist>
but i think you have to do that seriously for like months to maybe see some sort of improvement
<zid>
one of my eyes is marginally worse than the other, but neither bad enough to warrent mechanical assistance
<heat>
argh matey
<zid>
unless it's a mech suit
<zid>
I'd always opt for an evangelion if given the chance
<sbalmos>
I'll go for the nano-screen contacts that're bluetooth'd to the phone or my PC
<geist>
alas gotta start the meeting train today
<geist>
see yas!
<zid>
geist always meeting trains, I think he might be an anorak
<sbalmos>
Abandon all hope, ye who enter
<zid>
especially with those lenses he wears
<Griwes>
Hmm, I used to be able to see a color perception difference between my eyes, but I don't think I can anymore
<zid>
one of my eyes has a different whitebalance to the other
<geist>
very high index lenses can sometimes have a prism effect, but i think they're pretty darn good now
<zid>
paper looks a slightly different shade eye to eye
<jimbzy>
I don't actually know what the deal is with mine. I think it has something to do with CI if I'm not mistaken.
<geist>
can only see it mich f you look at a point light in a very dark light
<Griwes>
I definitely had my weaker eye see bleaker colors at some point. Not massively, but bleaker, and also without glasses
<geist>
i have seen stuff like a single tricolor led across the room in a dark room appearing to move substantially when displaying red green blue
<geist>
but especially red and blue. presumably that's some sort of effect based on the light bending differently
<zid>
chromatic abberation
<zid>
and yea, it's the mismatched focal length
<zid>
because of the prisming
<geist>
right
<zid>
blue already doesn't focus correctly in our eye
<geist>
anyway off to meetings
<zid>
Blue seven segment LEDs are damn near impossible to focus on
<jimbzy>
Cheers, geist
<sbalmos>
I'm about to wrap up for the day. then PIC season finale (ugh, from what I've read) and SNW ep 1
<zid>
The PIC season finale is when you finish all the soldering?
srjek has joined #osdev
<sbalmos>
it's when Professor Q reveals his latest lesson to humanity
<zid>
I still have no idea what PIC is in your context fwiw
<heat>
position independent code
<zid>
small shit micro
<sbalmos>
Picard ;)
<sbalmos>
could've been Pilot In Command too
<zid>
I can't decide which is more topical here
<zid>
PIC, PIC or PIC

Poorly Instrumented Code

san san is a go term
<sbalmos>
Canonical CAN bus?

(the other go)
<zid>
3 3?
<Griwes>
ye
<zid>
oh right, the point on the corner
<zid>
I GET IT
<zid>
I've watched a couple of go videos
<heat>
what go?
<heat>
the weird chess thing?
<Griwes>
the weird chess thing is shogi :'D
<zid>
I tried to play shogi
<zid>
but the software client I was using treated illegal movies as a resignation
<zid>
I did not make much progress
<psykose>
lmao
<Griwes>
go is the thing where you place black and white stones on intersecting lines
<jimbzy>
I'd rather play fan-tan
<zid>
never heard of that one
<sbalmos>
what about LOGO?
<zid>
sounds chinese, I don't know anything about china unless it's filtered through japanese popular culture first
<jimbzy>
It is.
<zid>
The only reason I even know about lu bu and crap is japanese video games etc
Dyskos has quit [Quit: Leaving]

i did watch the new Captain Pike show last night. liked it

wiki.osdev.org: Sparc Barebones - OSDev Wiki
<geist>
someone here reported they were not having any success a few weeks back
<geist>
have had the tab open since
<mrvn>
I can't find anything that uses 64bit for Dx/Ax
<geist>
yah
<geist>
that being said it's probably pretty fast as an upgrade to an 030 or 040
<geist>
by just pipelining things deeper, adding more cache, branch prediction, etc theres a lot of headroom there
<mrvn>
if it does register renaming for the 48 registers then it will do even better if you only use the original 16.
dude12312414 has joined #osdev
<mrvn>
hehe, the 68000 had "Selfmodify support". I guess that means you don't have to invalidate the non-existing I-cache when you write/load code to memory.
<mrvn>
I'm still angry that motorola removed the 64bit mul/div in the 68060.
<geist>
yah so the general strategy was to just trap n emulate?
<geist>
and thus be slow as heck?
<mrvn>
ssh login takes 2+ minutes
<mrvn>
(10 years ago where keys where short)
<geist>
hmm, i wonder if gcc effectively avoids using them if you compile for 060
<geist>
probably, should just consider them unavailable
<mrvn>
Should. Fixed code that doesn't use them only takes a second to log in via ssh
<geist>
since any fallback software version by default is faster than trapping and emulating
<geist>
and yeah ssh is always fun to use on older architectures. i usally enable telnetd on machines running old stuff like that
<mrvn>
Still sucks that you need 4 16x16=32 muls and some adds to emulate it.
<geist>
logging into an old sparc or vax box takes a minute or so, yeah
<geist>
and then burns ilke 30% of the cpu in ssh just to watch top or so
<mrvn>
makes you miss telnet
<geist>
and forget using it for rsync or whatnot
<geist>
used to be in the day you could specify the none cipher in ssh, but i think nowadays the best you can do is arcfour, which i measured at some point as being the fastest you can get on old hardware
<mrvn>
Is blowfish or so really that slow on sparc?
<geist>
yah, or really any old say 50mhz machine you feel it
<geist>
it's enough that you can use it as a shell, for sure, but its burning a fairly large amount of cpu to do it
<mrvn>
The login has to handle the full 4096 bit key and that is really slow. But the session keys aren't that big.
<geist>
may be say 100KB/sec if you try to rsync throough it or whatnot
<mrvn>
ouch
<geist>
OTOH, those machines usually had 10mbit eth anwyay, so it's not like you were going to get much past 1MB/sec
<mrvn>
I think my 68060 was quite a bit faster.
<geist>
maybe. i think a 50mhz supersparc or whatnot would be competitive
<geist>
i have precisely that model that i grabbed off ebay for the vaxstation
<mrvn>
Last time I used AUI was at university wiht thick ethernet in the corridor and then AUI outplets in the rooms. You remember thick ethernet where you had one long cable and then jam a spike into it to connect to the wire in the middle anywhere you needed?
<geist>
yah. i dont remember it, but i do know they existed
<geist>
thicknet ethernet i think, vs thinnet which is the bnc based one
<mrvn>
Nice big colliusion domain
<geist>
only place i ever had thinnet is we had some bnc with T joints at the Be office for one of the rows of cubicles
<geist>
even at the time (1999) it was cheesy, but someone had laid it down before and you could plug into it if you wanted
<geist>
but there was also some rj45 dragged along the wall later
<mrvn>
With BNC don't forget to ground it at exactly one place. A 300m cable with 12V charged up gives you quite a jolt when you touch it.
<mrvn>
Somehow all the NICs always leak electrons onto the wire.
