<AlmuHS>hi damo22
<AlmuHS>I have finished my work detecting APIC structures during the booting. Now you can implements the APIC timer and the IOAPIC
<AlmuHS>I need a good timer to synchronize the IPI sending :-)
<AlmuHS>you can implement the rest of APIC config here: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/gnumach.git/tree/i386/i386/apic.c
***Server sets mode: +nt
<AlmuHS>i go to sleep. Write me to maillist if you needs some help with APIC, SMP or similar
<civodul>news about GNU/Hurd in Guix! https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2020/childhurds-and-substitutes/
<civodul>janneke: ↑
<janneke>\o/
<rekado_>woo! Great article! Excellent work!
***rekado_ is now known as rekado
<rekado>woo! Great article! Excellent work!
<civodul>it's helpful and fun :-)
<civodul>getting a childhurd up and running is so easy we have no excuse not to hack on the thing
<cslr>are there any version of hurd that would run on x64 and support virtual machines like virtualbox?
<cslr>i would be interested to work a little to get this kind of setup running. + try to have code analyzer to microkernel to find possible security bugs
<civodul>cslr: hi! the Hurd doesn't support x86_64 yet, only 32-bit
<civodul>there's been work in that direction though
<civodul>like https://github.com/etienne02/gnumach/tree/master/x86_64
<cslr>ok thanks i will take a look
<janneke>i seem to remember there are two 64bit branches that should be merged, for gnumach i suppose?
<civodul>actually i know little about that
<civodul>i remember youpi did initial work a couple of years ago too
<Gooberpatrol66>there's a 64 bit gnumach branch on savannah
<Gooberpatrol66>i'm unaware of others
<janneke>Gooberpatrol66: right, my information is outdated, thanks
<janneke>the hurd is moving so fast, these days!
<civodul>:-)
