17 December 2021

• 07:5307:53, 17 December 2021 diff hist +606‎ Linux kernel ‎ →‎Concurrency and synchronization: Remove unnecessary details about local_lock(). This locking interface has very little use in Linux, in fact it is used about 20 times in the entire kernel. Compared to mutex_lock() and the family of spin_lock*() API, that are used more than 20,000 times, they have very limited and special use cases that are not worth mentioning here. Rework the explanation of how priority inheritance avoids priority inversion Tag: Visual edit
• 06:5006:50, 17 December 2021 diff hist +458‎ Linux kernel ‎ →‎Scheduling and preemption: Expanded this section by providing further information, details, and citation links about the real-time patches (included in the official (mainline) kernel since version 2.6) and the features they provide Tag: 2017 wikitext editor

19 November 2021

• 09:3109:31, 19 November 2021 diff hist +237‎ Linux kernel ‎ →‎In-kernel API: Add cfg80211 to mac80211 API for wireless drivers. Provide citation link to the official Linux kernel documentation. Tags: nowiki added Visual edit
• 09:2009:20, 19 November 2021 diff hist −91‎ Linux kernel ‎ →‎Memory management: No need to go into too much details about SLOB and SLAB. It's about ten years that major distributions don't use them for general purpose computing. This article is too long, therefore please add only strictly relevant and useful information. No need to know where those obsolete allocators come from. Tag: Visual edit
• 09:1009:10, 19 November 2021 diff hist −223‎ Linux kernel ‎ →‎Interrupts management: Remove information about a little detail that, out of the whole context, is misleading, inaccurate and not relevant. That's not the correct approach to introduce the subject of how interrupts are serviced in an RT kernel. Please, first provide the whole picture and, only after doing that, if you still think that details are informative, provide all the relevant one. Don't just cherry pick one of many. Tag: Visual edit
• 08:5508:55, 19 November 2021 diff hist −235‎ Linux kernel ‎ →‎Concurrency and synchronization: Saying that "specific parts" of PREEMPT_RT locking core have been changed with some patches is useless and uninformative. What are those "specific parts"? What has changed in those "specific parts"? What were the purposes of those changes? Tag: Visual edit
• 08:3208:32, 19 November 2021 diff hist +121‎ Linux kernel ‎ →‎Concurrency and synchronization: Move information about how to avoid priority inversion to the "Scheduling and preemption". This topic has very little to do with "Concurrency and synchronization". Tag: Visual edit

• 01:2401:24, 1 October 2021 diff hist +464‎ Linux kernel ‎ →‎Architecture and features: More information about the Linux OS peculiarity of distributing some features in userspace drivers and libraries and in in-kernel subsystems and drivers. For example, the X Window System is mostly userspace software but uses the in-kernel Direct Rendering Manager to talk to GPU of graphical cards for 3d rendering. In the meantime, fix inconsistent use of punctuation in the first part of this section. Tags: nowiki added Visual edit
