I have your patch from a while back applied to my C8000 and I have not seen any crashes or other issues yet (since beginning of April). Your futex patches are on this machine for even longer. This of course means only that there is no obvious breakage, I did not run any special testcase for any of those stuff, but at least it doesn't randomly eats my machine. I think Guy Martin has the cache patch running on at least one of his machines. Related note: The #Gentoo-HPPA channel on Freenode has at least some activity every other day, often even daily. The last 3 critical breakages I had (the gcc bug breaking swap, the gcc bug breaking ext4 and the 3.4-rc compile breakage) were first discussed there before posting anywhere. Because of that the initial report e.g. to linux-parisc already had rather good data on what is happening. Eike
