@vbabka I'm still finishing up my sframe discussion for LSFMM/BPF (for if they put it back on the schedule) and then I'm going to start my talk for Linux on!

Happy birthday to make localmodconfig ! It is now 14 years old. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=03fa25da8335a942161a8070b3298cfd4edf9b6a

My obligatory selfie for my OSPM talk.

@brauner @corbet Is a passport card quicker than a passport?

I’m debugging something that is causing a lockup, where I only get a single line out on the crash (no stackdump, nada!). Frustrated, I thought about slapping printk()’s all over the place, and then thought to myself. Hmm, it would be much nicer to just hook function tracing to printk….

Coming soon: ftrace_printk!

Libtraceevent 1.7.2 is released with minor updates.

@torvalds I've always struggled with the concept of a Turing Machine creating consciousness. I believe consciousness can only be achieved through analog means. As computers only work in digital, it could not achieve this. I truly believe consciousness, by its very nature, can only be achieved with the use of irrational numbers.

@kernellogger I as so disappointed that it wasn’t done to the tune of “What have you done for me lately”….. “What Has RCU Done Lately… ooh ooh ooh yeah!” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9uizdKZAGE

@kernellogger @vbabka and I support your noise. Crank up the volume!

@takaswie @wagi and for a program that requires specific ftrace events for!

@takaswie you may not need to backport libnih. One of the first things I want to change after using only upstream trace events is to remove the dependency on libnih!

@takaswie thanks! I just got the autoconf to work. I haven't posted that update yet, but I would be happy to have it work with meson. My main requirement is to make sure it doesn't regress ChromeOS.

@monsieuricon @torvalds I thought Walleij was the real “Linus”. And yes, we need to get him here! (maybe he is, but I can’t find him).

@takaswie I would love to switch (and may do so), but we are resurrecting “ureadahead” from the dead, and it’s currently knee deep in autoconf. It has international local support and all that jazz, where I have no idea how to port that to meson and not cause regressions (it’s really more like a zombie than totally dead).

Random first trial post: today, March 14th, is the 29th anniversary of the Linux 1.0 announcement.

Of course, there are other arguably more important dates in Linux history, but this is one of them.

There’s no hell like trying to make a project build with autoconf - automake written in 2009 work with today’s autoconf - automake.

@kernellogger sadly that's been on my TODO list since 2009 🫤

Today is the anniversary of the public announcement of streamline_config.pl. What eventually became “make localmodconfig” https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Pine.LNX.4.58.0503110338230.19798@localhost.localdomain/
