Hello, I have posted[0] a new lockless printk ringbuffer implementation. The ringbuffer has been tested heavily on x86_64 and arm64 SMP systems. However, I would also like to test it on an SMP Alpha system. Since the main purpose of the test is to verify the memory barriers, the tests need to run on real hardware. The new ringbuffer (with test routine) can also be built as a kernel module and does not require any kernel patching. It should work on any Linux kernel 4.20 or higher. Is there anyone with access to SMP Alpha hardware that would be willing to run the tests for me? Or can someone tell me where I might find such a candidate? Thanks!
