I thought Linux does this already, at least there is a patch: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230414225551.858160935@linutronix.de/ https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/

- __turbobrew__ 4y agoI wonder if risc-v is much faster to boot since the architecture doesn’t come with all of this legacy cruft that x86 needs to deal with?
- mrguyorama 4y agoIf successful it will inevitably accrue it's own cruft.
- snvzz 4y agoBoot process being codified in a specification minimizes the risk.
- layer8 4y agoYou mean, like booting in real mode was codified for x86?
- snvzz 4y agoQuite different, as the PC was not designed to be a long-lasting platform (or even made by anybody else than IBM). It absolutely did not have the hindsight from pre-existing platforms that the platform spec effort in RISC-V has.
- riceart 4y agoWhat legacy cruft? (speaking specifically of SMP boot here)
