Sorry about that, I'm not sure what happened.

no worries :-) . And I also have no clue where the hickup happened
but am thankful that there is no general problem with mails.

Unfortunately I'm now getting some even trickier failures: a handful of configurations are failing very early in boot. There doesn't seem to be much pattern to the configs that fail, but at least rv32 defconfig (on QEMU's virt board) is doing so. I've tried poking around a bit and can't figure out what's going on. I'll try and look again tomorrow morning.

(I guess morning means 2pm these days...)

Hmm, really strange especially as the whole thing is somewhat
limited to 64bit anyway.

I guess it would be interesting if it's in the alternative-basics
part of the svpbmt implementation.

Oddly enough it seems to be hanging as soon as I call into any of the m*id SBI routines, but I'm not entierly sure what's up and I've been bouncing between things so I might just be crazy.

I did bisect the rv32-defconfig failure down to the last patch.

My short try on getting a (any) rv32 kernel boot in qemu wasn't sucessful
yet, so I'll need to poke that more next week.

There's a bunch of failing cases, not just rv32, but I can't figure out what logic there is behind the failing cases. They're all in my riscv-system-ci repo, it's a mess but should at least build. I see the following hang:

rv32 defconfig seemed like the simplest, but there's a bunch of rv64 configs that fail too (though not defconfig, and the earlycon configs don't hang).

I'm going to go look at that other stuff I wanted to, but I'll try and find some time this weekend if nobody else can figure out what's up.

Heiko

I've put my somewhat messy merged test branch at kernel.org/palmer/riscv-d1-merge . Happy to hear if you have any insights, otherwise I'l give it another shot (possibly after looking at some other patches, there's quite a bit of a queue for this late).
