Linux distribution Debian system is preparing to stop supporting i386 architecture-EEWORLD

Collect

According to phoronix reports, at a recent small DebConf event in Cambridge, the Debian GNU/Linux distribution team held a spring meeting and identified some future development projects, including stopping support for the i386 architecture.

The Debian distribution team has decided that the Linux kernel, Debian installer, and Debian mirror teams will "stop supporting i386 in the near future."

Debian developer Paul Gevers shared the following:

For now, we expect that the kernel, di, and image teams will stop supporting i386 in the near future. Next, there are two routes to run i386:
1. As a multi-architecture option on amd64 systems
2. As i386 chroot on another architecture system
We are not planning to make i386 a partial architecture like Ubuntu, arch:any will still include i386 so everything will be built by default.

It is reported that i386, also known as Intel 80386 processor, was launched in 1985. The Linux system was born on the i386 processor. However, with the passage of time, most Linux distributions have stopped supporting i386, an ancient processor architecture.

Let's look at the process of compiling and linking to generate vmlinux. It is linked by a lot of .o files. The first one is kernel/arch/arm/kernel/head-armv.o , and we also saw the lds link file kernel/arch/arm/vmlinux.lds, let's analyze it first ENTRY(stext) //The entry point is stext, which should be in head-armv.

Embedded Linux: ARM Linux boot process

The ARM Linux boot process is roughly as follows: bootloader ---- kernel---- root filesystem. The bootloader takes control of the CPU as soon as the power is on, and the bootloader implements hardware initialization. The bootloader has become the "first to try" code after power on. When it comes to this, we have to

How to implement flush_cache_all in Linux Kernel on ARM platform

In the design of the driver, we may use flush_cache_all to flush the contents of the ARM cache to the RAM, because the cache in ARM Linux is generally set to write back. Usually, DMA cannot access the cache, so if we need to start DMA to write the contents in RAM to Flash or LCD framebuffer, then we need to call flu
