Ignore this Mozilla documentation. It doesn't help and most (all?) of the mailing lists are dead.
To fix this error message when doing hg pull -u:
pulling from https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-beta/

Visit https://hg.mozilla.org/, check the
certificate there, get its fingerprint and paste that into .hg/hgrc
under the root of the mercurial checkout directory.
BIND and datasize permalink
After seeing Greg K-H's comments about old Long Term Support kernels, I updated a couple of servers from 4.4 to 4.14. I ran into a problem with named (BIND) failing to start.
kernel: mmap: named (6332): VmData 35500032 exceed data ulimit 2097152. Update limits or use boot option ignore_rlimit_data.It seems that having the line
datasize 2M;in named.conf is the cause. Just remove that line. It seems that it's commonly been copied for donkeys' years: I can first find it in a config from September 2003.

How to check that you are running the latest version of microcode (processor firmware) for AMD. permalink
Have a look at your CPU info
$ grep -E "^(model|microcode|cpu family)" /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u cpu family : 21 microcode : 0x6000852 model : 2 model name : AMD FX(tm)-8350 Eight-Core Processor
The "cpu family" is shown in decimal, convert to hex, i.e. 21 becomes 15h

git clone https://github.com/AMDESE/amd_ucode_info git clone --depth=1 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git
Get the info about the latest version of the microcode for the appropriate family.
$ cd linux-firmware $ ../amd_ucode_info/amd_ucode_info.py amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam15h.bin Microcode patches in amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam15h.bin: Family=0x15 Model=0x01 Stepping=0x02: Patch=0x0600063e Length=2592 bytes Family=0x15 Model=0x02 Stepping=0x00: Patch=0x06000852 Length=2592 bytes Family=0x15 Model=0x10 Stepping=0x01: Patch=0x06001119 Length=2592 bytes
