       I love how certain rather crucial parts of Linux kernel are broken for literally no reason whatsoever. If you ever build your kernel with something else than a variation of defconfig, chances are, you have run into these issues.For example, kexec() straight doesn't work on arm64 without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled, even if your board doesn't support hotpluggable CPUs whatsoever. Why? Nobody can really tell.

       @icon_of_computational_sin@mstdn.starnix.network yeah it always confused me.do they really support billions of possible kernel configs?would be an outrageous amount of work for next to 0 benefit. 99.9% of us use a slightly tweaked defconfig, the embedded people will figure it out either way. and tinkerers... well, they know what they sign up for.

       @mansalia I wouldn't use the term "support" when it comes to Linux, unless you mean paid support. Otherwise, nothing in Linux is supported. Ever.
