  1. Great how Linus turns this potentially embarrassing & antagonizing item into praise for NVidia in how their support of the Open Source community has improved. He has learned a thing or two.

  2. For those wanting Torvalds to simply give a list of the mistakes, you have to realize that in order to be able to list those mistakes, one has to spend CONSIDERABLE time diving deep into the RiscV architecture, while having a LOT of experience optimizing systems for other architectures and seeing them improve over the years. Torvalds is probably not the right person for that, and his answer shows me that he knows that. He is just warning the RiscV team that, watch out, the path you are treading is not new, others have been there before, and you should learn from them. Probably the best people to talk with are compiler builders, people who implement e.g. the Java virtual machine on specific platforms, people who design and study performance benchmarks, and those who optimize system performance for various computing platforms.
