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
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.

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.
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/
And today’s hack is: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230306122529.44e8d566@gandalf.local.home/
PowerTop has had a copy of libtraceevent for over 10 years, with the assumption it would use the external library when ready. That library has been ready for a few years now, but I finally got around to porting PowerTop to it. https://github.com/fenrus75/powertop/pull/122
Anyone else hate upgrades that mess with your fonts?? For some reason, every so often, after an upgrade. My default fonts are all messed up. WTF!
