Bug Fix Advisory Updated kernel packages available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 6

ぁ、 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 6出てた。

New features introduced in this update include:

The getcpu system call is now supported.

/proc NUMA maps are now supported.

Upgraded openib and openmpi to OFED 1.2 to provide InfiniBand support.

madvise() now supports DONTFORK and DOFORK.

Added /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches to clear pagecache and slabcache on demand.

Removed upper value limit on /proc/sys/vm/max_queue_depth.

The out of memory killer is designed to kill processes to recover memory under very severe out of memory conditions. The out of memory killer can now be disabled; as such, when an out of memory condition occurs, a kernel panic will occur. To disable the out of memory killer, use the command echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/panic_on_oom. Note that the out of memory killer is still enabled by default.

smaps functionality is now supported.

Fixed an NFSv4 link bug that prevented i_nlink counts from updating properly.

Updated CIFS client to version 1.48aRH.

CONFIG_KPROBES is now enabled to provide Systemtap support.
