Reverts are commits too. You still need to write commit messages
justifying the revert.

Thanks,
Conor.

Indeed. Also, please revert them in the right [reverse] order so we
don't inadvertently break bisect.

Okay, I'll update it in v2.

This comes without a reason - which is likely something around "will fix
this properly later". But then you regress first and only fix
afterwards. Can't that be done the other way around?

Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. Can you help explain it
more clearly? Do you mean "delete mno-relax instead of revert
directly?"


Thanks,
Yunhui

You should order your patches in a way that does not create
intermediate states (between 1-2 or between 2-3) where the original
problem is being recreated.

So in this case, you should
a) fix the issue
b) revert the existing patches in *opposite* order

However, I don't think the EFI stub can use GP - please refer to my other reply.

Simply, I plan to remove "-mno-relax" and
"\|R_RISCV_$(BITS)\|R_RISCV_RELAX" in the third patch (fix patch).

The problem we encountered is that gcc 13 will optimize efistub using gp.

Thanks,

Why is that better than the current approach?
