Hi, Peter,

Thank you so much for your reply.

It's not stock, no.

Although the differences from RockPi's perspective are minimal.

The main difference is the way the kernel is configured.

It's GKI:

  https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/common/+/refs/heads/android13-5.15/arch/arm64/configs/gki_defconfig

Plus a few non-GKI specifics:

I assume this isn't something we can patch in the kernel driver?

Okay, this is what I figured.

This is the output: https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/d5DmsSBnrR/

Speaking with one of the guys who supports RockPi 4 in AOSP, he
suspects the DDR settings.  Apparently settings for older SoCs
sometimes get clobbered when support for newer SoCs is added.

I am yet to investigate the u-boot story in any detail.

It's on my TODO list for today.

We're not using Trusted Firmware yet.

Although I'm starting to think this should be re-prioritised.

I'll do that.  Thanks for the tip.

Our main issue currently is an RCU-lock-up, again on soft reboot:

[   21.226951][    C0] rcu: INFO: rcu_preempt detected stalls on CPUs/tasks:
[   21.227637][    C0] rcu:     5-...!: (1 GPs behind) idle=3de/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=9/10 fqs=3 last_accelerate: 0000/efb9 dyntick_enabled: 0
[   21.228890][    C0]  (detected by 0, t=5252 jiffies, g=-1167, q=46)

Do you think these issues could all be related?

Thanks ever so much for your reply Peter.

You've potentially saved us hours and hours of debugging.

Kind regards,
Lee
