littlebobeepshorne: Very interesting, which FPGAs have you worked with and what toolchains/bitsream formats do they work with?00:01
zx2c4shorne: CC'd ya on https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/ since we talked aboutthis idea a few days ago00:35
tpbTitle: [PATCH] init: call time_init() before rand_initialize() - Jason A. Donenfeld (at lore.kernel.org)00:35
zx2c4turns out this actually makes a difference on other platforms too but the problem was being unnecessarily hidden by other things00:36
zx2c4i still think it's cool to start the openrisc timer really early though as that one asm line does, so lets keep that00:37
zx2c4"measures" bootup00:37

shornezx2c4: yeah, I was thinking of moving the timer_init earlier too, but I figured that has more implecations so I thought its good to just start the OR1K timer right aways06:01
shorneI agree to keep the timer started06:02
shornelittlebobeep: I have run openrisc cores on xilinx and altera/intel fpga's06:02
shorneothers have used lattice FPGA's06:02
shornezx2c4: I am trying to fuzz this compiler/linker issue.  If I add just the right amount of nops (each being 4 bytes) I can trigger it/fix it06:03
shornetrying to understand the pattern06:04

zx2c4so theory is holding up14:37

shornezx2c4: yes, it would be good if I can do the same with a non-preempt kernel and prove its not preemption23:29
shornebut I am working on a small tool to extract the list of symbols that are changing with the nops23:30
