Jonathan Corbet presented a informative presentation about the recent linux kernel work. It was held at the 11′th realtime Linux workshop, and offers some insides and statements not always presented in the normal press, like from 2.6.27 -> 2.6.31++ rough timeframe (October 9, 2008 to September 18, 2009) 48,000 changesets was merged by 2,500 developers and 400 employers. This result is that the kernel grew by 2.5 million lines, or better 140 changesets merged per day and 7267 lines of code added every day. But he also depicts some major functionality added by each version and why it’s needed. paired with some funny pictures a nice walk through. The other papers from the conference are also a good read, take a look at them by yourself

Can be found here, (free) Registration is required, but i think this is fair. after briefly describing the history of MLP and CMT they cover the T1,T2 designs and the memory architecture. Following this verification, system evaluation and software tools are the topics. Thanks SUN

I recently grabbed a little tcl script which you can use for process monitoring. Can’t remember the actual URL where I took it from, and it had no comments in it. Nevertheless, even it’s about a decade ago i worked with tcl, i changed it to print out which TCPext: fields of the netstat command changed. perhaps somebody can use it

#!/usr/bin/tclsh
#
# small utility to print the tcpext. flags that changed.
# Free to use, no warranty etc….
#
# ./mon_linux_netstat
# CTRL-C to stop
