Since when has kernel compilation required this much RAM? My laptop with 16GiB of RAM uses tens of GBs of swap space during linkage step

It was great to see at the EOSS 2023 commitments from some ARM64 SoC manufacturers to upstreaming their SoCs. It was visible in the conference talks but also I got such clear vibes during the talks behind the scenes.
What was a bit missing is a story of Qualcomm which recently is heavily visible upstream - both directly and through the Qualcomm Landing Team in Linaro. November last year Qualcomm released its newest, shiniest mobile SoC: the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (SM8550).
And guess what happened? The next day you could find all the Linux kernel support for this new SoC on the mailing list. The newest SoC was released with upstream support at the same time. There is also story from @superna9999: https://www.linaro.org/blog/upstream-linux-support-now-available-for-the-the-qualcomm-snapdragon-8-gen-2-mobile-platform/

OCP APAC Techday is being held today in Seoul. Most of sessions are about CXL, AI, SSD. Still not sure if sessions are in english or korean.

The traditional Korean age system has been retired in South Korea, and now we use the international standard aging system.

I was 24 in the Korean age system, but now I'm legally 22 :P

started wondering where it's documented that x86 processors deal with the synonym problem, as they use VIPT data caches.

on ARMv8 processors there is an architectural guarantee that data caches acts as PIPT cache even if it's actually VIPT, so it's guaranteed not to suffer from D-cache aliasing.

I've been heard that there is a similar guarantee on x86 processors but haven't found any official references about it - errr, I guess it's time to read some part of the intel manual.

btw this is quite old but is very nice introduction:

I bought a new graphics card yesterday, and it came with a freebie. now my machine hangs whenever I boot a kernel with lockdep enabled.

Here is the link to the issue I posted on GitLab: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/nouveau/-/issues/237

BTW does DRM folks prefer using GitLab or the mailing list?

I want NVIDIA's proprietary GPU drivers 🥲
nouveau does not support virtual GPUs...

I was refreshing my zsdesc patch series but encountered unrelated bug while testing (I bought new RAM so it must be software bug...)

Fortunately it was bisectable and I'm writing a report about it
Not sure if people will welcome an oops image instead of text format.

a funny thing about memtest is that it can fail due to memory failure.

today I was hit by a kernel bug on the latest mm-unstable and so I was debugging it. but after a few kernel crashes even a normal kernel doesn't boot.... what's wrong with you :(

Not sure if it is a filesystem corruption caused by kernel bug, or they just did happen independently.

I have the last final exam today. haven't decided what to do during the summer vacation yet, but it will mostly involve learning new things and writing some kernel code.
