Hi, I cleaned up locore.S a bit. I've tested it on two machines, but there is a small risk it will break others. specifically emips, which is already somewhat broken. Would like more testing on: - very old MIPS - emips (I can't run Windows) - others are also good please try it out. Download this file: http://coypu.sdf.org/20180124-locore.S replace src/sys/arch/mips/mips/locore.S with it Build a new kernel If the following apply, try: - doesn't blow up - hardware floating point - 64bit code (run 'vmstat', build with -mabi=64, may need -static because of other bugs) Thanks! (For the curious, the description and split up to individual commits is here: http://coypu.sdf.org/locore-start/)
