Someone else added a test to the test suite, good enough to help me git bisect and fix the issue.

PR submitted: https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/pull/705

The obvious answer is:

• add the regression to the testsuite

• fix the regression

• submit a pull request

• move on

Too bad I have meetings...

rsync has some really serious CVEs[1], but the 3.4.0 release with the fixes has regressions[2] that will break things for people. What to do?

It seems like we need to replace some unstable NVMe's for our Milk-V Pioneer RISC-V CI and builder machines. Would be grateful if anyone would like to contribute one or two 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD of good quality.

Ok, I am probably a complete idiot, but the commit message says:

Now crash codes under kernel/ folder has been split out from kexec

code

That seems to been done in https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/kernel/Makefile?h=linux-6.12.y&id=02aff8480533817a29e820729360866441d7403d (crash: split crash dumping code out from kexec_core.c)

And that commit does not exist in linux-6.6.y branch.

But what do I know...

A wild guess is that it is related this:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/arch/x86/kernel?h=linux-6.6.y&id=e5b1574a8ca28c40cf53eda43f6c3b016ed41e27

regression in kernel 6.6.70.

ld: vmlinux.o: in function `__crash_kexec':

/home/ncopa/aports/main/linux-lts/src/linux-6.6/kernel/kexec_core.c:1075:(.text+0x1bffd0): undefined reference to `machine_crash_shutdown'

6.12.9 and 6.1.124 appears to be fine.

I'm thinking of starting test hugo for the alpinelinux.org website. I have already spent the time budget on browsing hugo themes without finding anything perfect.

Are there any good hugo theme that would fit?

Small and simple is good. no-javascript is a plus. (Alpine.js would be cool?) Similar layout or color palette from current is also a plus. No npm also a plus.

5. Unmount the SD card and boot it.

doas umount /mnt

You should be able to see it boot from a debug UART

4. Install U-Boot

Write SPL to partition 1 and ITB to partition 2:

doas dd if=/mnt/u-boot/starfive_visionfive2/u-boot-spl.bin.normal.out of=/dev/sde1

doas dd if=/mnt/u-boot/starfive_visionfive2/u-boot.itb of=/dev/sde2

3. Mount the boot partition and extract Alpine tarball:

doas mount /dev/sde3 /mnt

curl -s https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.21/releases/riscv64/alpine-uboot-3.21.1-riscv64.tar.gz | doas tar -C /mnt -zxv

How to create a bootable #AlpineLinux SD-card for VisionFive2 #RISCV:

1. Partition the card. In this example I use /dev/sde. WARNING: Make sure you have the right device.

doas parted /dev/sde --script mklabel gpt \

mkpart primary 2MiB 4MiB set 1 bios_grub on \

mkpart primary 4MiB 6MiB \

mkpart primary 6MiB 100% set 3 boot on

Compile time of same linux kernel on different hardware:

• milkv pioneer: 0h 52m 20s

• hifive premiere: 3h 32m 20s

The pioneer has 64 CPU cores while the premiere only has 4.

What should we call the kernel package for hifive premier p550? It may also work on other boards based on same SOC.
