OK so that, minus descriptions of things like mprotect(), madvise(), mremap() and general review and cleanup is process memory done.

Been working on this part of the book (initially I thought it'd be 1 chapter, lol) for at least 6 months.

After a month of basically no book progress due to being away for lsf/mm and ill this is a great relief and keeps me on time after my last reschedule of targets.

Next: OOM killer chapter which, when done, will be released as a sample chapter.

I was unable to access my school's e-learning site this morning. Turns out I was expelled from school for unknown reason. I was panicking, but a school employee called me to say that there was a mistake while processing scholarship for school tuition and everything will be fine.

TIL: NUMA configuration and distance matrix are parsed from device trees, ACPI, or dummy configuration is used.

[Intel Publishes "X86-S" Specification For 64-bit Only Architecture]( https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-X86-S-64-bit-Only )

Not booting from real mode (-> protected mode -> long mode) anymore.
Still seems to support running 32 bit applications on 64 bit kernel.

Wait, who wants to run 32 bit kernel on 64 bit processors?
How much silicon is saved with this new ISA?

My dream tonight was really strange: I was kidnapped and forced to do kernel work, and then I was sold to a software company.

I've been never... brave enough for doing slides on the plane on the way to conference, so here we go, ahead of the travel to Vancouver: https://ossna2023.sched.com/event/2b02a776f0e49c787af92b1d1847622e
Hopefully I'll be just adding some last minute developments from the respective LSF/MM session to report in my LinuxCon track talk. And hopefully those developments will include "we agreed to remove SLAB, nobody objected" ;)
