I was refreshing my zsdesc patch series but encountered unrelated bug while testing (I bought new RAM so it must be software bug...)

Fortunately it was bisectable and I'm writing a report about it
Not sure if people will welcome an oops image instead of text format.

a funny thing about memtest is that it can fail due to memory failure.

today I was hit by a kernel bug on the latest mm-unstable and so I was debugging it. but after a few kernel crashes even a normal kernel doesn't boot.... what's wrong with you :(

Not sure if it is a filesystem corruption caused by kernel bug, or they just did happen independently.

I have the last final exam today. haven't decided what to do during the summer vacation yet, but it will mostly involve learning new things and writing some kernel code.

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.
