[Note: I experiment with clang based powerpc64 builds, reporting problems that I find. Justin is familiar with this, as is Nathan.]
I tried to update the PowerMac G5 (a so-called "Quad Core") that I have access to from head -r312761 to -r313864 and ended up with random panics and hang ups in fairly short order after booting. Some approximate bisecting for the kernel lead to: (sometimes getting part way into a buildkernel attempt for a different version before a failure happens) -r313266: works (just before use of atomic_fcmpset) vs. -r313271: fails (last of the "use atomic_fcmpset" check-ins) (I did not try -r313268 through -r313270 as the use was gradually added.) So I'm currently running a -r313864 world with a -r313266 kernel. No kernel that I tried that was from before -r313266 had the problems. Any kernel that I tried that was from after -r313271 had the problems. Of course I did not try them all in other direction. :) === Mark Millard markmi at dsl-only.net _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
