This looks good to me. So for the patch: Ack

Re: [PATCH v4] make the MAX_MALLOC_BUFS customizable
by lijiang
Hi, Shivang
Thank you for the update.
This seems to have got back on the right track, but there is still a minor
request: please help to update the document accordingly. E.g: help.c and
crash.8

[PATCH] arm64: Fix "vtop" command to display swap information on Linux 6.10 and later
by Guanyou Chen
Hi Lianbo
Kernel commit 55564814a838 ("arm64/mm: Move PTE_PRESENT_INVALID
to overlay PTE_NG"), which is contained in Linux 6.10 and
later kernels, changed the format of swap entries on arm64.
Without the patch, the "vtop" command cannot display swap information
before:

PID: 1 TASK: c000000003714b80 CPU: 2 COMMAND: "systemd"
#0 [c0000000037735c0] _end at c0000000037154b0 (unreliable)
#1 [c000000003773770] __switch_to at c00000000001fa9c
#2 [c0000000037737d0] __schedule at c00000000112e4ec
#3 [c0000000037738b0] schedule at c00000000112ea80
...
The #0 stack trace is incorrect, the function address shouldn't exceed _end.
The reason is for kernel commit cd52414d5a6c ("powerpc/64: ELFv2 use
minimal stack frames in int and switch frame sizes"), the offset of pt_regs
to sp changed from STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD, i.e 112, to STACK_SWITCH_FRAME_REGS.
For CONFIG_PPC64_ELF_ABI_V1, it's 112, for ABI_V2, it's 48. So the nip will
read a wrong value from stack when ABI_V2 enabled.
After the patch:
crash> bt 1

v2 No discussion: https://www.mail-archive.com/devel@lists.crash-utility.osci.io/msg01170.html
v3 -> v2: Rebase to top-most of upstream patch
Regarding to v1's discussion, we cannot run abiv1 program on abiv2
kernel, it's because abiv1 is big-endian and abiv2 is little-endian, and
abiv2, or ppc64le kernel doesn't support big-endian, or abiv1 program
cannot run upon it, see the following:
$ file blkid
blkid: ELF 64-bit MSB executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, Power ELF V1 ABI, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, for GNU/Linux 3.2.0, BuildID[sha1]=b36e8a2a5e4d27039591a35fca38fa48735f5540, stripped

The abiv1 program blkid cannot be run on this machine, except with the
help of qemu. So from my view, we don't need to consider the case that abiv2
kernel might containing a abiv1 program or .ko.
Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. @Aditya Gupta

What are fact and dimension tables?
by gsingh＠sevenmentor.com
Fact table and dimension table are two main components – the broad classification of how an entire data warehouse or data analysis system is organized and used to process large quantities of different types of data. To put it in simple words, Fact table will store the measurable or quantitative information of any data and Dimension tables are used to give flexible descriptive attributes. They form a structure called a star schema or snowflake schema, which allows for rapid analysis along various dimensions. The difference between these two kind of tables is at the foundation of understanding analytics/big data but know wonder that as anywhere there are opinions and marketing (…I've read), personally this is one of the fundamental concepts which are taught, in each decent enough "data" engineer course. As organizations are increasingly growing their digital operations, the capability to design effective fact and dimension tables can highly impact performance improvement in reporting and business decision-making. https://www.sevenmentor.com/data-engineering-course
Fact table is the core table in a star and snowflake schema. "Numerical data capable of being used for calculations and expressing a business event or transaction". Such values generally can be added or semi-added, thereby making calculations easy for analysts. Sales amount, dollar revenue, units sold, clicks, impressions and monetary transactions – these are some of the measures that you will find in a Fact table. Because these numbers continually increase as business interactions take place, fact tables can become very large. They’re designed for rapid queries, especially when companies are running reports that summarize values across time, geography or product categories. In every data engineering class, students learn that fact tables are structured to point to dimension tables and establish the relationships that make the data meaningful. Without dimension tables, fact tables are little more than disembodied columns of numbers.
Fact tables are large and store records, while dimension tables are small and provide description of those keys in the fact table. These are explanations of what and how business does. For instance the dimension table can hold attributes of a customer such as name, age, location, and demographic category. Another dimension table may represent products, such as with product name, category, size and brand. Time dimensions are very common as well, allowing analysts to study the performance on a daily basis or from month to month to year. The power in the fact table is that dimension tables turn raw data into something meaningful. These aggregations allow people to filter and group data so that they can slice up the data in a way that answers various business level questions. Practitioners who take a Data Engineering Course learn siegent know how to design dimension tables that are clean, consistent and normalized so as to produce high quality analytics output. https://www.sevenmentor.com/data-engineering-course-in-pune.php
The structure between fact and dimension tables constitutes for a stable habitat in which advanced reporting and business intelligence can flourish. For instance, a retail store might have a fact table of daily sales. This table doesn’t, by itself, inform the business which products are the best-performers in different regions, or which customer groups are its biggest buyers. But as your sales fact table is joined to product, customer, store and time dimension tables; the company gets a holistic view of their performance. This fact/dimension combination enables organisations to ask powerful questions like monthly sales by region, the categories the total quantity sold across all products and new compared to returning customers based on their revenue. This design is unbelievably efficient for analytical queries, which is why almost every company having star schema reports have them built on top of a denormalized version of their highly normalized RDBMS.
Performance tuning of fact and dimension tables is also a very crucial factor. Fact tables are combatting heavy in size and they use indexing, partitioning and compression techniques to boost queries. The dimension tables are usually optimally designed in that data is not duplicated and stores information as efficiently as possible to limit time expense with joins. Therefore, a good grasp of these optimization techniques is essential while preparing for a Jobs openings in data engineering. How to design efficient fact and dimension tables is a one of the common question recruiters ask, because if not designed properly your entire.… environment will be lethargic. Real-world systems process terabytes or even petabytes of data, so small architectural choices can make a world of difference in performance.
Fact tables can also be classified by the type of activity that they record. Most often it's a transactional fact table where each event is captured. There are also snapshot fact tables, to which records access the status of a process in certain periods (for example daily inventory). Accumulating snapshots Fact Tables that track the complete lifecycle of a process with well defined start and end points like an order fulfillment. Dimension tables on the other hand, may manage slow changing dimensions i.e. changes over time in the descriptive information. A client may can change their address, an item may be re-launched. Analysis is affected by the way in which you track changes, so slowly changing dimensions (SCDs) are an important concept in data modeling. These themes are extensively taught in a data engineering course to enable learners to work with complex, growing datasets for industry.
The momentum continues as more and more enterprises run on cloud data warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift or Azure Synapse. Fact and dimension tables are also utilized in these systems for its underlying architecture. If someone’s a batch pipeline person, a stream-processing person, or repo for real-time dashboards, fact and dimension table design still applies. In the age of “big data”, modern analytics has moved towards the distributed compute model, thus designing tables efficiently becomes even more important. Bad schemas can cost you too much to store, slow down your queries or create inefficient pipelines. For this reason, companies generally seek people who not just know theory but can also deploy it in cloud native environments. Job Data engineer Job openings for data engineers often mention a requirement of data modeling skills.
Understanding fact and dimension tables is not a good exercise technically but also helps develop strategic thinking. When professionals understand how to properly model data, they can provide better guidance for organizations. Marketing teams, for instance, have fact and dimension models to measure customer activity and campaign effectiveness. These frameworks are used by finance departments to track revenue trends, budgeting quality and forecasting accuracy. Fact-based traffic of logistics, supply chain, inventory management is observed by operations teams. Good modeling means that all the players are seeing “the same movie”. This is precisely why companies place a high value on data engineers trained in an organized data engineering course: it ensures they are trained hands-on creating and managing scalable schemas.
Finally, a fact table and dimension tables are core elements of data warehousing and business intelligence. The fact tables contain numerical figures that will be acting as the quantitative representations of the business events, while in a dimension table you have descriptive information that gives context to the values. They together lay the foundation for star and snow flake schemas, allowing organizations to analyze across various aspects of their business. Whether you're just starting out or ready to get your first JOB Opening on data engineering, being competent in fact and dimension tables is a must-have. With a rising interest in data-driven decision-making, you can sign up for a data engineering course to help students specialize in data modeling and get ready for the best available career prospects in the analytics and big data space.

[PATCH] Loongarch: update the NR_CPUS to 2048
by Chenghao Duan
Since the kernel commit 9559d5806319 ("LoongArch: Increase max
supported CPUs up to 2048")the NR_CPUS on Linux kernel ranges
from 2-2048. So let's match NR_CPUS with the max NR_CPUS count
on the Linux kernel.

A Tapestry of Modern Mediterranean Experiences
by sadieepoke＠gmail.com
The Mediterranean region continues to inspire curiosity through its blend of culture, technology, and shifting societal habits. Travelers, researchers, and creatives often highlight how local traditions coexist with rapid innovation, forming a landscape where history and modernity sit comfortably side by side. This balance is especially visible in countries like Greece and Cyprus, where daily life reflects both resilience and reinvention. Discussions about tourism, digital transformation, and regional cooperation frequently emphasize how these nations manage to stay rooted in heritage while moving steadily toward contemporary expectations.
Conversations about broader European dynamics https://cyprusonlinecasinos.net/froutakia/fruit-shop often touch on entertainment habits, economic collaborations, and cultural exchanges. While casinos in Europe, Greece and Cyprus form only a small piece of this mosaic, they appear occasionally in studies mapping social behavior, regional development, and travel motivations. Their mention typically arises in relation to tourism cycles or cross-border leisure patterns, rather than serving as any main focus. What truly stands out in the Mediterranean context is how lifestyle preferences continue to adapt as local populations blend traditional customs with new forms of interaction, recreation, and communication.
At the center of these evolving preferences is a growing emphasis on Greek digital leisure. The term encompasses a wide variety of online cultural activities, from digital museums and virtual performances to interactive learning tools and collaborative creative platforms. Its rise reflects not only technological progress but also a strengthened desire for flexible forms of connection and entertainment. As Greece invests in digital literacy and remote-access initiatives, residents and visitors alike explore richer, more customized experiences. This shift has encouraged new businesses, creative ventures, and community projects designed to bridge physical spaces with virtual ones. Cyprus, with its own expanding tech landscape, follows a similar trajectory, integrating digital opportunities into education, entrepreneurship, and tourism-based industries.
The blending of online and offline habits has shaped how individuals across the region plan their free time, communicate, and engage with cultural events. For some, Mediterranean leisure still revolves around open-air cafés, artistic festivals, and weekend markets. For others, digital alternatives provide opportunities to meet new people, expand skills, or unwind after busy schedules. Neither approach replaces the other; instead, they coexist in a hybrid rhythm unique to modern Southern Europe.
This fusion of spaces—traditional squares, seaside promenades, online forums, creative apps—illustrates how Mediterranean societies reinterpret familiar routines. Occasional references to tourism hubs, including destinations where casinos in Europe, Greece and Cyprus operate, appear mostly when analyzing travel trends, but they remain only minor notes in a much richer and more diverse cultural score. The broader narrative continues to highlight the human motivation to connect, create, and experience the region through multiple dimensions, both physical and digital.
