I guess I'm just a luddite, but I do have disc brakes on my tandem :-) ANYWAY... I've made a bunch of progress on this, so far converting every architecture except for ia64 at this point ... I may punt on that and let someone else worry about fixing it up (i.e. I'll add stubs that just error out) .. I refreshed the toolchains on my builder overnight, and am going to build test kernels for most of the platforms we support. I'll test what I have hardware for, and what I can quickly set up simulators for, but I'm going to need help from others to get this all tested. Things that I can easily test directly: -- amd64 (using a VMware VM) -- i386 (using a VMware VM) -- aarch64 (using a Pinebook) -- arm (using an ARMv6 Raspberry Pi) -- will exercise the ARMv4 and pre-ARMv4 code paths in this case. I'm going to spend some time over the next few evenings getting Qemu emulators up and running for smattering of systems (although I have been having trouble getting Qemu guest networking working on a macOS host). What I plan to test under Qemu: -- mips (32-bit, at least) -- powerpc -- sparc -- sparc64 ...and if I get around to setting up SIMH, I will test vax myself, as well. I'll need help with everything else... ping me off list if you can help! Happily, I have an ATF unit test that exercises all of new functions, so anyone willing to volunteer to help me test it will have an easy time of it. -- thorpej
