    Time Event
    7:41a
    Kernel prepatch 4.6-rc6
    The 4.6-rc6 kernel prepatch is out. Linus

    I'll still do an rc7 in this series.    " As of this prepatch the code
    name has been changed to "Charred Weasel."

    A guide to inline assembly code in GCC
    The "linux-insides" series of articles has gained an
    overview of inline assembly in GCC    . "I've decided to write this
    to consolidate my knowledge related to inline assembly here. As inline
    assembly statements are quite common in the Linux kernel and we may see
    them in linux-insides parts sometimes, I thought that it would be useful if
    we would have a special part which contains descriptions of the more
    important aspects of inline assembly. Of course you may find comprehensive
    information about inline assembly in the official documentation, but I like
    the rules all in one place.    "
