Oh, I almost forgot! If it still crashes, try the `crash-test` branch of my RTAI tree and see if that works. Beware, that branch will not compile on any version of GCC older than 7. Alec ___ Emc-developers mailing list

Beautiful, that fixed the misalignment issue ergo no GPF hence no crash, WINNING!!! I'll be merging the new-libm branch into master soon (tomorrow after sleep.) Get ready to make new debs, I'm going to bump the kernel patches to the latest of the 4.14 kernel series (after I fix some conflicts.)

Debugging can hurt latency, but that option is most likely fine so the "depends on !IPIPE" line in lib/Kconfig.debug for "config DYNAMIC_DEBUG" can be removed. Dynamic printk doesn't depend on DEBUG_KERNEL so that's easy to fix. When I get around to it, I'll push that to the 4.19 and 4.14

So there are a few people here that care about my efforts, which is great and I thank you for that, but if RTAI support gets removed from LinuxCNC, it all becomes meaningless, and it will most likely never enter the tree again after that point. Paolo is not aware of this bug yet, and I don't

Thanks Andy. It would be a shame if all of the RTAI support in LinuxCNC disappeared because of a bug. Has Paolo looked into this? Has anyone asked him? On a side note, if your machine has a problem, do you just junk it or try to work through it? ___

I did the abs.0 stress test and it still dies out after about 300+ runs but latency is lower for me without using `isolcpus` at all. The 5.4 kernel may fix the abs issue but I've been busy with work so I don't have time to go through that. RTAI 5.3.1 is stable with LinuxCNC in my opinion.
