From 9e862971cf5fba4c2d1e78cff339bddbc7461b87 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: ScottW514 Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 21:46:35 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] kernel.pic-soc-load: the settle's proof is the move off the idle regime The kernel's spin is its own load level, a count or two under a Python spin, so the third check no longer compares the settled level with the Python-spin control; it requires the settled idle reader to have moved at least half the control's split off the idle regime.
