@stas:mainframe.lvStasi always assumed that the userspace qemu is the more elegant one10:28:23
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Rossvery much not the case10:28:51
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Rossit has to implement the whole Linux API, so you'll frequently run into stuff that isn't implemented or doesn't work right10:29:11
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Rossmassively bigger surface than emulating hardware10:29:19
@stas:mainframe.lvStastrue that :( When it runs well, it is like it is not there though10:29:38
@stas:mainframe.lvStasI use it to compile all my arm64 builds, not cross compile10:29:54
@stas:mainframe.lvStasworks perfectly, albeit slower10:29:59
@stas:mainframe.lvStas* works perfectly, albeit slower than native of course10:30:05
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Rossa VM set up as a remote builder is also like it's not there, if you're doing Nix builds, and much more reliable10:30:30
@stas:mainframe.lvStasI am considering it, as I want the original 32bit arm too. Hetzner's Neoverse cores do not support the old isa though :(10:31:29
@lotte:chir.rsLotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ&i wonder if such a vm would alleviate the cpu cache thrashing that i have noticed with qemu-user because you can effectively limit and/or isolate the emulation to specific cpu cores10:36:46

@lotte:chir.rsLotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ&(i presume that is what it is, when running large gcc compile tasks in qemu-riscv it would make video games stutter)10:37:32
@lotte:chir.rsLotte (it/its)/Cinny (she/her) θΔ&* (i presume that is what it is, when running large gcc compile tasks in qemu-riscv it would make video games stutter, even with a high nice value on qemu)10:37:48
