    Górny: A distribution kernel for Gentoo
    Michał Górny describes
    an effort     to create something one might have never expected to see: a
    binary kernel package for the Gentoo distribution. "I have manually
    configured the kernels for my private systems long time ago. Today, I
    wouldn’t really have bothered. In fact, I realized that for some time I’m
    really hesitant to even upgrade them because of the effort needed to update
    configuration. The worst part is, whenever a new kernel does not boot, I
    have to ask myself: is it a real bug, or is it my fault for configuring it
    wrong?    "

    [$] Cloning into a control group
    The Linux control-group mechanism was designed to make it easy to assign
    processes to groups or move them around; it is a simple matter of writing a
    process ID to the appropriate cgroup.procs file in the
    control-group filesystem hierarchy. That only works for processes that
    actually exist, though. Adding the ability to place a new process into a
    control group at birth is the subject of this
    patch set     from Christian Brauner.
