hi, everyone!

KungFuJesus: You good with the #13389 fix?

fenix 13389

fenix illumos 13389

BUG 13389: After persistent L2ARC import, cache device has constant 8KB/sec load (New)

↳ illumos.org/issues/13389

danmcd: I believe a hash prefix works on the bug number now also

Like I tried above?

Or with fenix?

You need both the prefix and the mention of Fenix I believe

Gotcha.

arekinath: how did you feel about the fix(es) for #13565?

fenix #13565

BUG 13565: umem should only have one text section (In Progress)

↳ illumos.org/issues/13565 | code.illumos.org/c/illumos-gate/+/1275

Sorry, didn't see this until now

no issues yet, and it's been well over a week, I think we're good

tsoome: have you tried to build a SPARC OI ISO lately? Perhaps I can be alpha tester #4?

no, not lately. thiser is still in my todo list, howev

however*

I have been a bit busy drawing freebsd loader console and then fixing the bugs:D

in preperation for the 13-RELEASE?

yep.

what fancy new features are being added to the loader? I assume those same will be in the illumos fork?

same yes. and very new bits are posted for both

higher resolution modes? :)

thats limited by whatever we get from firmware

perhaps you've fixed the bug on one of our older illumos machines that prints out a bunch of enumerated offsets for the disk that it can't read something at, over and over

it eventually boots, but it spends an eternity printing to the VESA framebuffer, hah

hm.

the error reporting needs some love there.

KungFuJesus have you recorded, what errors are those?

what error codes, I mean

richlowe: haven't looked, sorry. 9wk old baby makes it hard to keep up haha

arekinath gz:)

arekinath: oh! congrats

richlowe: he'll be back in 5 or 6 years

PTC is the thread magazines right? and because it's in a .so it has to figure out where they are only from the code addr?

ptc is the thread magazines, but this is all where we used have writable code always, and now we only have writable sometimes

so I was putting the text back together, but Robert (maybe) didn't like us having other code writable for that brief period

so the alternate fix keeps them separate (but better), and gives the modifiable code its own page

I think we're just wondering how paranoid to be

ah. yeah, would definitely prefer an approach that makes w^x easier in future if we can go that way

which normally means keeping code we want to modify in its own pages

ok, I'll merge in the code I gisted and go around again then.

thanks

np, if it makes it take way longer we can do it later of course

but if it's a pretty easy change...

it's easy

awesome

I like those words ;)

unfortunately I'm playing around with something else, so this build is going to take 4+ hours.

sounds about right. I moved my build zone to one of our new 64-core zen2 boxes, it's so much faster haha

if I ever shift all these other makefile bits, I need to trick LeftWing into testing something on those

lol

he has more of those than I do, I'm sure :P

Right now he has a bunch of stuff unplugged in the corner because we're waiting for some ESD flooring work :P

it'd be nice if someone came out with an amd server in the same form factor as my current server (or maybe w/ 6 hot-swappable drive bays instead of 4).. i'd probably upgrade for moar cores

I just need more, not fast, to test this. so the easiest way is to ask people in here :)

the SPARC people do like it when their space heaters are good for something :)

ha

i only have an ultra 10 in storage...

I mean if one just needs more I can probably spend a few dollars on a large AWS instance

granted the space heating aspects of them wouldn't have been as useful last week as i might have hoped

m4.16xlarge 64 cores, 256GB RAM!

pretty sure tsoome has that beat

But I can get one of those for a mere $3.20/hour

that's not tree fiddy

i know papertigers has an AMD box, though not sure of the specs

tsoome: it's been a while, it says something about some lba offset. I'll have to look again next time I get a chance
