See also new options added to start-qemu.sh.

There is a 6.x.y branch for each kernel version for each kernel release, which I won’t rebase after its creation (e.g. #Github style requests are semantically possible to such branch). For 6.5.y only qemu_x86_64_defconfig target is supported but I might add new targets in future. Testing is also now limited to kselftest, which I might expand in the future (as time allows). Pull requests are of course welcome for improvements.

I created a #Buildroot environment that I’ve started to use for #Linux #kernel #testing, targeted to my kernel tree.

@rockorager thanks for adding that patch it is pretty essential with all these command-line tools (I missed that part earlier)!

as simple as this function might seem, it has reduced the number of remotes I have by large numbers:

function git-fetch-tag { git fetch --no-tags "$1" "refs/tags/$2:refs/tags/$2"; }

#git #note

@jjdavis yeah, it wraps qemu nicely IMHO (and so libvirtd) :-)

#ubuntu #multipass look like something for my needs as i use mostly ubuntu virtual machines for test #kernel's. especially it could replace #vmware fusion in my mac mini, which I use to test #arm64 kernels. in my #linux desktop it is not as useful because #libvirtd and #qemu are already perfect for my needs.

@mwcz Yeah, I know :-) I was more interested on user space workloads (should have mentioned). Fair argument in any case.

i wonder in what state is explicit heap oom handling in #rust today. it was still pretty bad year ago.

especially i’m interested what has been already fixed when mirroring against a great #analysis from #crowstrike’s blog.

I always return to #ctags once tried on LSP. E.g. it does not have dependency hell bundled. It always works as expected. Even with LSP I always disable auto-complete, which takes away a lot of its value, assuming that you care about this feature in the first place.

Let's not forget that one of the two #cofounder's of #Gitlab is also #Ukrainian

git grep -l -v "\.ident =" | xargs git grep -l "\.callback =" | xargs git grep -l "\.matches = "

I wanted to find all files, which have DMI table entries with matches and callback set, but not ident. #git #note #linux #kernel

still zero idea what #kubernetes even is o_O

I used #container's and #docker for the first time in my work, and on #riscv #platform. #latebloomer

ugh, #tpm2 #tss #test suite does not allow me to run #integration tests: https://github.com/tpm2-software/tpm2-tss/issues/2677 #linux #kernel #vtpm

I’ve became by accident pretty seasoned with cmake. Never wanted to learn it particularly but it is not too bad. I use it at work.

I like at least these two features of cmake:

• C_STANDARD and CXX_STANDARD
• configure_file

I also like that it is focused on C/C++ rather than trying to be everything, which is really a fresh breath of air these days. I rather use it at least than autotools :-)
