 dramforever | there fixed | 21:07:27 |

so overriding it should help if possible? it should, yes. i would consider coming up with a test case before rebuilding the world but unfortunately i don't really know how to trigger it | 21:09:01 |
 outfoxxed | It only takes like 1.5 hours on my machine to rebuild whats necessary to test that, so I'm fine doing that | 21:09:30 |
| outfoxxed | that would require actually overriding it which I havent been able to figure out how to do without breaking nixpkgs though | 21:10:00 |
| dramforever | yeah, i don't actually know how to trigger it | 21:19:07 |
| outfoxxed | trigger what? | 21:19:21 |
| outfoxxed | the vector crash or the nixpkgs eval fail | 21:19:35 |
| dramforever | the vector misalignment | 21:19:42 |
| dramforever | yeah what would be vector crash on k1 | 21:19:55 |
| outfoxxed | it looked like it happened during kernel module loading | 21:20:02 |
| outfoxxed | by systemd | 21:20:06 |
 Tristan Ross | Wtf | 21:20:09 |
| dramforever | that's not really significant | 21:20:10 |
| dramforever | it could be anywhere | 21:20:13 |
| outfoxxed | its linux 6.6.63 | 21:20:12 |
| outfoxxed | I don't really know what else I can tell you | 21:20:25 |
| dramforever | since you set v in gcc.arch it could happen to anything and anywhere | 21:20:40 |
| dramforever | kernel module loading is just one of the first thing it does on boot | 21:21:54 |

I want to try a RISC-V + LLVM kernel NB: this will likely take longer to build because of needing to change stdenv. | 22:41:06 |
| Tristan Ross | Ik | 22:41:23 |
| Tristan Ross | I run an LLVM kernel on my desktop | 22:41:31 |

I run an LLVM kernel on my desktop Is there any noticeable difference? | 22:42:04 |
| Tristan Ross | Kinda | 22:42:24 |
| Tristan Ross | The noise from my audio interface is less noticable | 22:42:34 |
| Tristan Ross | And pkgsLLVM.linux took 20 minutes with a GCC built kernel where with the LLVM kernel, it took 15 minutes | 22:43:02 |
| Tristan Ross | I ran the same build under the two kernels 3 times in a row on each kernel and got the same 5 minutes difference | 22:43:45 |

The noise from my audio interface is less noticable It sounds like there is interference between your CPU and your audio interface...
I mean, it shouldn't be driving the sound card differently just because of differences in compiler optimisations and code layout, right? | 22:44:24 |
| Tristan Ross | The thing is I'm not sure | 22:44:56 |
| Tristan Ross | I shouldn't even be getting noise in the first place since it's over USB. Even on my dedicated USB card, I actually get worse audio quality. | 22:45:22 |

I ran the same build under the two kernels 3 times in a row on each kernel and got the same 5 minutes difference This could be due to ld.bfd vs lld (assuming these are what the two stdenvs use for linking). Worth exploring... | 22:45:31 |
