so the DMA bug I have been chasing for the past almost-year on my thinkpad?

turns out it was a typo in the DTB file. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/arch/arm64?id=b38dd256e11a4c8bd5a893e11fc42d493939c907

i say as the fucking thing reboots again...

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

@ariadne if I may paraphrase an old joke...

software contractor is called in on a job
spends six weeks going through the repo, tracing the test suite, etc etc
sends one character PR and faxes an invoice for $100,000
client says "wtf! itemize that please"
- $1 per character changed
- $99,999 for knowing which one to change

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

hmm, that's not it.

i think i might just have more general EL2 instability issues that i am chasing now

[ariadne@social.treehouse.systems]

sure would be nice for lenovo to incorporate newer gunyah package from qualcomm into their firmware though 🙃

i wonder if this is the SoC watchdog freaking out and rebooting the machine sometimes
