zx2c4shorne: i dont quite understand what madness has befallen folks about m68k09:58
zx2c4it *just* landed09:58
zx2c4it's buggy09:58
zx2c4why cant they just fix it09:58

zx2c4oh arnd is in here good10:04
arndhi10:04
arndI argued for ages with Laurent, he always insisted that qemu cannot be fixed for m68k, I guess because he or someone else has old versions of it that he wants to keep using10:05
arndI do agree that qemu should be fixed to make m68k a special case that hardcodes the big-endian case and makes it clear that this was a mistake, while all other architectures should get the little-endian case10:06
arndthat is at least what we did in the kernel port: the driver defaults to little-endian, and the m68k architecture overrides the register accessors to big-endian ones10:06

zx2c4arnd: but the m68k stuff was *just* merged10:07
zx2c4and10:07
zx2c4even if was merged 5 years ago, it is used by 7 people max10:08
zx2c4maybe closer to 3 people10:08
arndzx2c4: from shorne's mail it sounds like it was merged in   on 2021-03-15, which is over a year ago10:09

tpbTitle: Virtual Motorola 68000 "m68k" Machine With Up To 3.2GB RAM Expected For Linux 5.19 - Phoronix (at www.phoronix.com)10:15
zx2c4It's new in 5.1910:15
zx2c4arnd: the qemu support is from last year. the kernel support is new in 5.1910:15
zx2c4so fix the kernel to do things right10:16
zx2c4and qemu will follow10:16
zx2c4the fact that the kernel support hasnt even shipped further drives home the point that truly nobody is using this10:16
arndI reviewed the kernel code to ensure it copes as well as it could with the broken qemu, but I've given up arguing about qemu changes10:17
zx2c4arnd: just make the kernel support little endian only10:17
zx2c4then you dont need to argue with qemu people10:17
zx2c4if the kernel only supports properly behaving virtual hardware...10:18
arndthat usually just leads to the kernel not working at all on qemu. I consider qemu a platform like any other that has bugs we need to work around10:18
zx2c4But this whole thing is fantasy10:18
zx2c4nobody uses m68k for real. qemu isnt for real. nobody even has a shipping kernel that uses the functionality.10:19
zx2c4virtual of virtual of virtual10:19
arndare you sure there isn't an AmigaOS or something like that for it?10:19
zx2c4that uses goldfish? O_o10:19
arndI did not get the impression that this was a Linux thing at all10:19

shornezx2c4: ah, I was checking mails, not checking here, I just send another mail will read this backlog12:12
shorneI guess switching m68k goldfish models to big-endian is a compromise12:19
