> This applies to more complex dependencies. Consider the following code:
<clever>

<clever>
from the arm link pasted a few hours ago
<clever>
geist: my rough guess as to how this works, is that in addition to re-ordering writes, the arm core also keeps a list of pending addr+value pairs, and checks against that for loads? is the data not yet in the L1 cache when that reordering happens? what about a race against another core?
<clever>
> If the address is marked as Gathering (G), then the processor can, for example, merge two bytes writes into a single halfword write
<clever>
the rpi's MMIO is almost entirely 32bit only, nothing bigger and rarely smaller, so thats definitely a case for non-gathering
<clever>
and the few 16bit regs that do exist, have timing related bugs where transfers can be lost, so sticking to 32bit is best
<heat>
does anyone know how uninitialised the qemu x86 machines are at boot?
<heat>
like at the reset vector
<clever>
heat: in terms of "motherboard" peripherals, cpu, or ram contents?
<heat>
yes.
<clever>
ram i think would be the simplest one to answer...
<clever>
oh, and tcg vs kvm also comes into play
<heat>
i found it though, qemu -S works
<heat>
pci is uninitialized, the CPU as well (although I did see a weird value in EDX)
<heat>
is this part of the initial x86 state? possibly
<heat>
ram is inited yeah
<heat>
then you're supposed to get more metadata from fw_cfg
<kazinsal>
yeah, seeing articles from the 19th last year about communities moving to libera
<clever>
i discovered by accident, that leenode is allowing unregistered users in once more
gildasio has joined #osdev
<clever>
after rebooting my system, my irc client auto-connected to it twice
<clever>
i heard at one point, that you couldnt even connect without first registering on the website
<kazinsal>
admittedly I was pretty skeptical about an IRC network that had "libre" as a root for its name if only because it brought to mind "libertarian" but I'm glad that libera is a quite pleasant and progressive place
<kazinsal>
(though it may skew a bit in my eyes because I'm only in this channel, which has been a very accepting place for longer than it's been on this network)
wand has joined #osdev
<geist>
yah i wonder how the sister #osdev survived over there
<geist>
at some point i couldn't log in because irccloud was banned, and that was the end of even attempting to try to follow along
<geist>
honeslty i hadn't really even thought about it in probably 6 months until today
<kazinsal>
totes, freenode is pretty much ancient history in my mind at this point
<kazinsal>
the Before Times so to speak
<Mutabah>
The way I saw it, Libera _is_ freenode (the core of it at least, and many of the communities outright moved)
<vdamewood>
It's like someone painted over the sign, and wrote Libera in its place.
<kazinsal>
pretty much yeah
<geist>
yah pretty amazing how well that transitioned over (at least in #osdev case)
<klange>
New name, same people - staff _and_ communities
<geist>
a few channels i follow went over to oftc, but as far as i can tell thats working fine too
<Mutabah>
Biggest difference about libera: I OWN THIS CHANNEL, MUAHAHAHAHA
<clever>
some fragmented to both matrix and libera
<klange>
That's really why it worked so well, it was pretty immediately clear what was happening, so most people just needed to change a line in their IRC client configs and away we went.
<vdamewood>
There was a shakeup of owners in ##programming too.
<geist>
omg dont go crazy on us Mutabah
<kazinsal>
hah, yeah, at least with libera we know who the god emperor of the channel/org is
<vdamewood>
geist: go? present tense?
<geist>
i'm watching an open source project i've been following disassemble itself in real time right now (SIMH)
<Mutabah>
... I had forgotten until just then
<geist>
and it's really not pretty
<kazinsal>
geist: oh jeez, what happen
<Mutabah>
vdamewood: Hey! I resemble that insult
<geist>
it'sin the middle of exploding, which is a real shame
<vdamewood>
Mutabah: Ad mit it, if you weren't nuts, you wouldn't be here.
<vdamewood>
admit*
<Mutabah>
geist: Oof, I just saw it on /r/programming
<geist>
the guy that does most of the simh v4 work is throwing a super tantrum, and he controls the github repo, etc
<geist>
yeah it's still going on, but it's one of these cases where the project has never had any real governance or whatnot for like 10 years since it has just worked fine
<geist>
but then the defacto project owner is throwing some tantrum now and basically trying to modify the license for petty reasons
<klange>
We also took the 'opportunity' of this technically being a new channel to establish in its registration an official connection to osdev.org.
<geist>
and lots of folks are having none of it
puck has quit [Excess Flood]
<geist>
doesn't help that the original simh project was created by a guy that has no interest in open source, more or less
puck has joined #osdev
<geist>
he has his ftp server that serves up updates, and has no problem with folks using it (it has a BSD license on it) but has no interest in running the project
<geist>
so he was always silently just working on the original fork of the project (simh v3), while the defacto github project (v4) has been progressing for a long time
<kazinsal>
hmm, yeah, that complicates things
<geist>
so there was always 2 forks of it effectively
<vdamewood>
I propose we call the split of Libera from Freenode, "the Forkening".
<klange>
It's like a classic Unix fork(), though. Freenode got paged to disk, Libera stayed resident... and then the disk got filled with garbage :)

<No_File>
biggest trap in human history, the apple.
<mrvn>
geist: changing a license is nearly impossible. It only takes one person disagreeing.
<geist>
it's more subtle than that. what he wants to do is 'lock down' some of the recent changes he made to the project
<kazinsal>
yeah, it looks more like an addition to the license that conveniently makes it non OSI compliant
<geist>
but adding some additional clauses about 'you can do what you want but you can't undo these changes or modify any files i've touched after this point in time' nonsense
<kazinsal>
it's almost a relicensing but questionably legally distinct
<geist>
and folks are pointing out that's at best just a really dickish thing to do
<geist>
ie, your license to his changes are revoked if you remove them or disable them, etc. really dumb shit
<mrvn>
which would make it impossible to fix any bugs in the mentioned code.
<geist>
basically he's forked it. which is i guess his perogative, except it's the main github repo and he wont let anyone else do it
<geist>
mrvn: right
<geist>
folks are pointing out all sorts of issues, such as that
<geist>
he's basically doing the equivalent of taking his toys and going home because of some disagreement about some feature he added
<geist>
which is fine except he controls the repo and the github org and wont let anyone else do anythig about it
<mrvn>
That's the point where I would just say: You go do that. We will just keep the existing version.
<geist>
that's effectively where it's at. the community is probably going to fork it just before his changes
<mrvn>
forking is easy
<geist>
and he's basically 'go ahead, notice i have control of the main project that people will find'
<geist>
sigh.
<mrvn>
search engines qill change the ratings quickly based on activity on the repos.
<mrvn>
s/qill/will/
<geist>
well he *is* the main developer
<geist>
by a long shot
<geist>
would be kinda like if a bunch of us were hacking on sortix and sortie decided he wanted to throw a wrench in for some favorite feature
<geist>
sortie would say 'you can add features but you can't touch any of this code or remove any of it or you dont get a license to use it anymore'
<geist>
which may be legally okay, but just a really dicky thing to do
<geist>
(or maybe not legally okay)
<mrvn>
if there is even one commit from another person then that person can veto the license change. So not legally ok.
nanovad has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
<geist>
it's the 'yopu dont get a license to use it' part that's the dicky thing. someone that controls the repo is free to not accept patches or whatnot, but to add a clause to the licnse that says you can modify eveyrthing *except* these files after this point in time, is pretty lame
<geist>
right, he's saying 'all changes my by past this commit where i have modified the license'
nanovad has joined #osdev
<geist>
or something like that. anyway. whatever. it's just really silly and petty
<mrvn>
which may or may not be legal. GPL doesn't allow that.
<geist>
the main shame is it *is* the main developer
<mrvn>
which is one of the reasons I like the gPL.
<geist>
so by him taking his toys and going somewhere else it loses most of the development. he's effectively made a closed source fork
<bauen1>
mrvn: yeah, i was about to ask if he can even do that or if that would violate the license _he_ has from other contributors due to imposing additional restrictions
<geist>
for future changes after a point, but then he has the main repo (github.com/simh/simh)
<bslsk05>
simh/simh - The Computer History Simulation Project (269 forks/1393 stargazers/NOASSERTION)
<mrvn>
geist: simh is already non-free. It has the advertising clause.
<geist>
a semantic difference
<geist>
folks use it in projects
<mrvn>
But they aren't allowed to say so
<geist>
say so what?
<mrvn>
although, wait, it doesn't say simh must not be used, only the authors name.
<geist>
yah it's the standard 'you can't use my name for advertising with stuff made with this' which seems fine to me
<mrvn>
So I can say: My project uses simh. But not: My project uses simh by Robert M Supnik, Mark Pizzolato and others.
<geist>
right. standard N clause BSD
<mrvn>
well, if they don't want credit for their work. :)
<geist>
sure. it's the nonsense he added tothe license file at the end of it that is setting everyone off
<geist>
basically it's this one feature he added that was controversial, for silly reasons, and instead of backing down he baked it into the license that you can't touch it in any fork you may have of the code
<geist>
which is <eyes roll>
No_File has quit [Quit: Client closed]
<mrvn>
My reaction would be to fork that file and change all the emulators I'm involved in to use the fork thereby sidestepping the license change.
<mrvn>
See "Group 2"
<mrvn>
Line 66-68 in the license.txt is illegal. Can't change the license retroactively.
<mrvn>
that makes the whole license invalid in many jurisdictions.

where did you lose it?
Burgundy has joined #osdev
<gamozo>
Somewhere right after the G4/G5. Naw, in seattle, lots of wind storms yesterday
<gamozo>
I live in the middle of nowhere so if trees move a bit I lose power
<zid>
we have an invention called holes
<mrvn>
I'm so happy that germany has overland power cables above the tree tops and local power cable under the earth.
<gamozo>
Apparently we tried to vote for that but everyone was against the higher prices
<mrvn>
and now they pay for it with every storm
<zid>
but.. holes are cheaper
<Griwes>
coworker who lives basically in the city center of Seattle also had power troubles today (or yesterday depending on how you like to use those words)
<Griwes>
not every storm, just the major ones :'d
<zid>
employing a huge fleet of grounds managers is kinda pricey
<Griwes>
zid, no, you have to dig, potentially under things, as opposed to just planting a pole (definitely not a Pole though, please) and running some cables
<zid>
TCO
<gamozo>
Way cheaper to get a generator than to redo infra
<mrvn>
Nowadays they can shoot the cable through the earth without digging a trench.
<gamozo>
And people don't really care about losing power. It's not like everyone is spending 16 hours a day on the computer like me :D
<gamozo>
mrvn: They're doing that for my fiber right now! It's such a cool thing to watch
<zid>
I can't imagine how many teams of guys your power companies must employ to trim hedges

Those helicopter pilots are wild lol
<Griwes>
even if you can shoot a cable through the earth, you still have to dig holes through, well, things

replacing a sidewalk or pavement has got to be more expensive than planting a few poles
<bslsk05>
'Repairing Underground Power Cables Is Nearly Impossible' by Practical Engineering (00:13:34)

why would you do that
<Griwes>
why would you do what
<zid>
replace a sidewalk
<Griwes>
if you need to punch down a hole for a junction or whatever
<mrvn>
Griwes: for underground you pay once (in a long long time), a pole you pay frequently.
<mrvn>
problem is: the pole already exists
<zid>
making a hole in asphalt is a thing there exist billions of companies for and they do it cheap
<Griwes>
yeah the problem is that for underground you need to pay it up up front
<zid>
roadworks aren't new
<gamozo>
It's really not that simple lol. Underground power is not easy/cheap
<zid>
It is cheap, but it requires the companies involved not to be chasing quarterly reports
<zid>
in order to look cheap
<mrvn>
gamozo: I believe it's cheaper. It's just a big cost up front.
<Griwes>
yeah. and sometimes "cheaper up front" just wins
<gamozo>
Cheaper up front is kinda mandatory at least in the US, where it's just so massive and people are so spread out
<zid>
Our government will probably find a way to sell the copper eventually
<mrvn>
that's because the person doing it up front gets payed for building it and doesn't have to maintain it
<mrvn>
What contract includes a 10-100 year maintainance cost?
<gamozo>
I mean, I'll chagre you for maintainance for 10-100 years, but you won't get much for it ;)

<gamozo>
(me, justifying fiber to myself)
<mrvn>
you think the hardware at the other end of the fibre has a generator too?
<gamozo>
With the dedicated ethernet I'm getting that has an SLA, yes
<gamozo>
With normal fiber, absolutely not
<mrvn>
oh, pricey
<gamozo>
Yes :( Very pricey. But I'm getting 4gbit full-duplex dedicated and I'm absolutely thrilled
<mrvn>
thought you ment fibre vs copper
<gamozo>
Ah, nah. I decided to get some dedicated ethernet, largely because I want to see what it's like. Who knows if I'll continue using it after the contract is up. Required a 5 year contract :\

still doesn't know what "based" means
<Griwes>
its meaning is based

mrvn, yeah I think you'd need to have expression rewriting rules to make that work without the extra thing

you could also have syntax like `make_matrix{...}.convert()` or something that *feels* better to my eyes, but ymmv

Griwes: I tried AutomaticMatrix::operator Matrix<T, rows, cols>() but that doesn't get invoked on initialization
<mykernel>
if cpu is x64 capable and bios/motherboard isnt
<heat>
that's impossible
<mykernel>
heat: what
<heat>
the BIOS/motherboard have nothing to do with 64-bit vs 32-bit
<heat>
if the chipset supports 32 and 64-bit CPUs, that's not a problem
<mrvn>
Griwes: Isn't there some way to say: If someone tries "Matrix(x)" try "Matrix(AutomaticMatrix(x))" first? there has to be some way to trigger the implicit conversion
<Griwes>
mrvn, at the current time there is not, but I think this use case requires more than just that, it requires it to be a *syntactic* rewrite, because the argument does not actually have a type at that point

i managed to find a null pointer deref in my video driver

i've (annoyingly) managed to find a null pointer deref in the linux audit part by accident, and it requires a very specific setup too:
<bauen1>
1. have a kernel iirc >5.4 <5.7 ; enable selinux and load a policy, and audit a certain directory access event generated by systemd --user
<mrvn>
so now debug it, fix it and send a pull request
<bauen1>
the way i found it was by disabling SELinux trying to find out if it was blocking polkit from working (it wasn't the issue), just the be met by the kernel slowly going insane
<bauen1>
mrvn: i reported it after i found it and it's already been fixed
<bauen1>
mrvn: but thinking back, i think i also hit a null-ptr-deref in the hfs4 driver in linux ? something which caused the filesystem to become so full that you couldn't delete files or even extend its size anymore ; arguably that was a good thing because that day i nuked the macos instalation on in favour of linux
<bauen1>
and i really wonder if that has been fixed, but at the time i couldn't find that out

in my case, the ioctl's for the v3d and amdgpu driver overlap
<clever>
so userland things its issueing a DRM_IOCTL_V3D_GET_PARAM to query the ident registers on the hw
henistein has quit [Quit: Client closed]
<clever>
but the kernel thinks its a DRM_IOCTL_AMDGPU_CS query
<mrvn>
Do the NASA thing: Just don't do the thing that bugged.
<bauen1>
clever: shouldn't improper ioctl generally not cause kernel bugs ?
<clever>
and then everything goes horribly wrong, as the command is parsing garbage
<clever>
bauen1: the ioctl is reused between many drivers
<clever>
2022-05-19 18:47:02 < anholt> the kernel interface should already be fuzzed. and, if userspace wants to ignore the kernel telling it what driver it is talking to, you can't really stop them.
<clever>
2022-05-19 18:48:28 < clever> did the fuzzing miss it?
<clever>
2022-05-19 18:48:36 < anholt> the kernel probably wasn't fuzzed, which is a problem.
<clever>
and due to somebody not keeping up with fuzzing the ioctl api, the bug has slipped into linux, and has been in release kernels for ~2 years
<clever>
seperately, i also found a DoS attack in chrome's rendering routines
<clever>
if you point the mouse at the "need help?" bit just right, the on-hover thing will flicker
<clever>
the more tabs you have open, the more cpu usage that flickering causes
<clever>
at 2000 tabs, it causes enough cpu usage to jam up the master chrome process for 30+ minutes, from just 0.2 seconds of hover
<mrvn>
I had that in my WM. But without the DoS. It just opened the tooltip, the mouse is inside the tooltip window so the original widget looses focus and the tooltip closes. repeat.
