MaxdamantusHm. Does anyone else occasionally have csd appear to get into a state where it doesn't successfully reconnect or something until it's restarted?00:11
* Maxdamantus doesn't really know how cellular service connectivity works.00:12

*** ced117 has quit IRC00:19
* Maxdamantus wonders if he should just do `while sleep 60; do fgrep -m 1 'isiclient_sms_timeout(): Request TIMEOUT' < <(tailf /var/log/messages) && killall csd; done`00:20
Maxdamantusprobably tailf -n 000:21
MaxdamantusHm, though it often prints that message then eventually continues working.00:26

keriohow does samsung fuck up something like that19:05
KotCzarnycostly19:05
keriono i mean19:06
kerioafter so many phones, you'd think that they have the basic elements of engineering down19:06
KotCzarnydoes samsung produce its own batteries?19:06
KotCzarnyalso, fuckups happen19:07
keriois it just a matter of defective batteries?19:07
Vajbafter it explodes i guess it's whole device19:09
keriolel19:09
*** Maxdamantus has joined #maemo19:11
KotCzarnysome random comment: From 24 Million few Handsets went to an explosion! and samsung investigated on it and found few batches got battery from a local vendor! the quality of the battery pack! (the battery is maid by samsung! just the protecting cover!! is faulty)19:11
KotCzarnyhmm, battery in note7 isnt user replaceable? lol19:14
KotCzarnythat would explain why recall on the whole handsets19:15
keriohandsets should do what the nintendo 3ds does19:16
kerioand have a user replaceable battery behind a screwed-in panel19:16
KotCzarnyhttps://imgur.com/a/RMBnv19:16
RST38hKot: They made it unreplaceable starting with Note 519:36
RST38hKot: At Note 7, karma finally caught up with them19:36
KotCzarnyexactly19:36
RST38hAnd in such an ironic way, hehe...19:36
KotCzarnydo you think it was apple's sabotage?19:37
RST38hI think it was karmic justice.19:38
RST38hHopefully they will pay for replacing 1+ million Note7s and learn to make battery replaceable again in Note819:38
KotCzarnyor just make design/testing/postproduction-testing better19:40
RST38hCan't account for every fuckup, better have plans B, C, etc19:41
KotCzarnymy n900 didnt 'sploded yet19:41
RST38hMeanwhile, Samsung got another, more interesting problem19:41
RST38hhttp://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/09/13/arm_biglittle_gcc_bug19:41
KotCzarnynot going to change that19:41
KotCzarnycache linesizes?19:41
KotCzarnyor something new?19:42
RST38hYep19:42
KotCzarnysaw it last week19:42
RST38hSamsung's own cores are 64bit, so they come with wider cache lines19:42
KotCzarnybut its new thing, so as always, assumptions will fail sooner or later19:42
RST38hGCC punks were either not informed or did not care enough19:42

DocScrutinizer05LOL20:08
DocScrutinizer05>>The faults involved code created just in time (JIT) on demand: Mono uses a JIT compiler to transform an app's portable bytecode to native ARM instructions on handheld devices.<< kill dat shite, with fire. It serves them right this is going to segfault20:11
keriothe fuck20:13
*** felangga has joined #maemo20:14
DocScrutinizer05ridiculous how they try to optimiue by determining I-cache width only once. Particularly since they were better off making thatbig-LITTLE transfer as rock solid as possible (purge cache byte by byte, worst case) and rather keep the frequency of such big-LITTLE transitions as low as possible20:21
DocScrutinizer05again big fat LOL20:22

ShadowJK_They don't do "transitions" anymore really, all cores can be active at same time21:14
ShadowJK_So what you have is not SMP, but asymmetric multiprocessing :)21:14
KotCzarny:)21:14
ShadowJK_There are some 10-core SOCs now, where you have 4 low perf cores, 4 medium perf, and 2 high performance cores, and they can all be active at the same time21:15
KotCzarnybut its like running something on pentium-pro, then in an instant replacing cpu with pentium-mmx21:15
KotCzarnyShadowJK_: are you sure they arent counting MALI cores? ;)21:15
ShadowJK_yes21:15
KotCzarnyhavent seen three-tier cpu, link/name?21:16

ShadowJKsorry if repeat I lost irc for a bit21:28
KotCzarnyi find it curious why they didnt make a53 cores in one cluster with cpufreq21:32
KotCzarnyunless the controller supports max 4 cores at once21:32
KotCzarnyseriously, it looks more like marketing, unless there are some more design details differentiating those two a53 clusters21:39

DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: thanks a lot22:38
DocScrutinizer05ShadowJK: ((They don't do "transitions" anymore)) however that's exactly where their stuff explodes, see http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/09/13/arm_biglittle_gcc_bug22:39
DocScrutinizer05they create JIT code, so they need to purge I-cache to make the code really available, and that fails since they may clear 64bytes but the cache width of new core the process got reassigned to is 128byte22:41
DocScrutinizer05if processes wouldn't get shifted/transferred from a small to a fat core and back, this bug would never happen22:43
ShadowJKOh, I thought you meant the old style big.little where you either had 1-4 big cores running, or 1-4 small cores running, but not both at the same time22:44
ShadowJKKotCzarny, who knows if it's the design of the cores itselves, or details in manufacturing, but they do supposedly run at different efficiencies22:45
DocScrutinizer05no, the ridiculous thing is the purge_cache function determines cache width only *once* and then keeps it in a sttaic variable22:45
ShadowJKBeyond what you could do with just cpufreq22:45
ShadowJKDocScrutinizer05, yeah22:45
ShadowJKInterestingly that Helio SoC actually has an 11th CPU too :-)22:46
DocScrutinizer05the sensor shite, yeah22:47
DocScrutinizer05really weird how they throw mountains of etched silicon at such a relatively simple task like operating a smartphone22:48
ShadowJKMy current daily phone has 4 cores and I find I could use more ;-)22:48
DocScrutinizer05instead of maybe decently isolating the modem, to start with22:48
DocScrutinizer05pastebin top with 4 running processes or it didn't happen ;-)22:49
ShadowJKIt's mostly like open tab 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in browser, go to tab 1 and wait for it to load and hope the other ones have loaded before I'm done reading22:50
DocScrutinizer05heck, even on my PC I hardly get all 4 cores (8 virtual) busy with concurrent processes22:50
DocScrutinizer05and you think your browser really runs one thread per tab?22:51

* DocScrutinizer05 prays for the day when Apple or Google will decide they kill/stop all JS and similar crap after it ate 0.1s CPU time on a webpage22:55
DocScrutinizer05heck, I can *build* applications in less time22:56
DocScrutinizer05a whole system-devele and hw industry makes a living from dealing with the turd so called "web programmers" declare as their result for solving what also they declared problems in web pages22:58

DocScrutinizer05it's a sad joke22:59
kerioDocScrutinizer05: nethack takes like 8 seconds on an 8T xeon to build22:59
DocScrutinizer05I bet you can easily find a dozen webpages that take longer to render on same machine22:59
DocScrutinizer05and the braindead sheep go "oh, this device is too old, the web pages take a 30s to render meanwhile. I need some stronger hardware" - instead if giving such webpages and their "web programmers" the finger and a loud "F*CK U!" and a kick with the heavy boot23:02
DocScrutinizer05instead of*23:03
DocScrutinizer05can't Mcaffee and firens simply tag all such incredibly fucked-up webpages as "DANGEROUS! Blocked it" KTNXBY23:04
DocScrutinizer05friends*23:04
DocScrutinizer05would teach them "web programmers" that we don't need animated menus and shit23:05
