#loongarch — Public Fediverse posts

I have code for 1 KiB PageGrain on MIPS qemu, which should enable a demonstration of handling a case very near VAX 512 B pages while seamlessly guaranteeing within-allocation-unit promotions to 4 KiB and 16 KiB for 64 KiB allocation units and also seamlessly handling superpage promotions to sizes that are power-of-four multiples of 64 KiB. I think there may have been some testing of a similar scenario using 256 KiB allocation units on LoongArch, but while it was verified that it didn't crash, not much was done to make sure that effective use was being made of sub- allocation unit -sized superpages esp. when there were multiple superpage sizes available between the minimum MMU mapping granularity and the kernel allocation unit.

Rolling pgcl forward to 7.0 and the intermediate pre-7.1 somehow resuscitated binutils issues with running LTP and DAMON on hppa and some others, but it got to having no LTP regressions vs. master on 16 arches. I still need to induce enough fragmentation within a qemu session to be able to observe non-negligible defragmentation costs that might be reduced.

I see various articles about #loongarch, #zhaoxin and even #riscv CPUs that usually end with "it doesn't outperform a first-gen Ryzen or Haswell".

Big deal. It doesn't have to. It's targeting a different market.

It's far more important to have a good enough sovereign supply chain for the billion low-end office desktops that make a bureaucracy and economy tick. If relations collapse, gamers will have to make do with less.

I just tested the IceWM 4.0 update on Chimera. I have a fondness for IceWM as it was the first WM I ran on my work computer in my first job out of university. Great to see it still seeing new releases. Here it is running on my little loongarch64 box.

Ok now that's cool looks like Asus finally puts out Firmware updates for their released #Loongson #LoongArch motherboards public.

40 млн строк кода: как меняется ядро Linux в 2026 году

Начало 2026 года для сообщества ядра Linux получилось насыщенным. В конце января в документацию добавили раздел Linux kernel project continuity. В нем описывается, что произойдет, если ключевые участники проекта внезапно не смогут выполнять свою работу. Обсуждения шли еще на Maintainers Summit в декабре 2025-го, и теперь этот вопрос зафиксирован в документации в явном виде. Все вполне логично. Ядро Linux давно превратилось в часть огромной мировой инфраструктуры — с десятками миллионов строк кода, тысячами разработчиков из компаний по всему миру и постоянным давлением со стороны требований к производительности, безопасности и энергоэффективности. Поэтому сообщество вынуждено не только поддерживать текущий уровень стабильности, но и экспериментировать, стараться сделать систему гибче и надежнее. В 2026 году проявились несколько направлений такой работы — от Rust и планировщиков до поддержки новых архитектур. Давайте посмотрим, что тут и как.

I've had no luck with any of the Wayland desktops I've tried on this loongarch machine. All fail to start with one error or another related to graphics. X11 XFCE session seems to be working ok though.

Performance is not amazing but seems decent. E.g. browsing the modern web seems fine, including JS heavy sites like Mastodon and Mattermost. Speedometer result and allsorts build time for reference.

I got Chimera installed on the loongarch mini-PC. Installation was very smooth, basically identical to an x86_64 install. I also installed GNOME, but gnome-shell is unstable. I can log in and poke around for a brief amount of time, but then it crashes and I'm back at the login screen. Looks like I have my first project there.

Well it works, but there is a snag. It seems the fan runs full speed the whole time, and it _does not_ sound good.

Aside from that, it ships with Loongnix, a dedicated Linux distro running KDE 5. I can't seem to access the pkg servers, so haven't been able to add fastfetch or anything like that.

Seems to pull a bit under 30W when idle.

Weird new computer arrived. While it looks like a regular mini-PC it has a Loongson 3A6000 CPU with 4 cores, 8 threads and a MIPS derived instruction set architecture (ISA). The aim is to install Chimera Linux on it, and have it be a test bed for building packages, and testing software compatibility. Depending on power consumption I might give it some server duties too.
