Phoronix: AMD Bus Lock Detect Positioned Ahead Of Linux 6.12

Going back four years ago Intel engineers worked out bus lock detection for the Linux kernel to benefit their processors able to detect bus locks and then notify the kernel, given the negative performance implications associated with bus locks. That Intel support was merged in Linux 5.13 back in 2021 while now AMD has their equivalent ready for mainlining in the Linux kernel...

I could say the same thing about you. Don't you have better things to do than try to shame people for demanding backwards compatibility with existing software? There's a reason the vast majority of people are still using x86 CPUs for desktop/laptop systems.

There are, like 3D modeling, CAD, video production, etc. I would expect a lot of the "muh gaming suffers" would be applicable to other fields too. It's naive to dismiss it simply because it's gaming and games don't matter, they're not important. It could just as easily affect other much more important things too.

No, they're not around any longer and my house doesn't have a basement.

Very thoughtful of you, thanks.

Resting and having fun is probably the most important thing in life
