What's interessting/very strange strange about this time-travel stuff:
commit 0b8b2668f998 ("um: insert scheduler ticks when userspace does not yield")
$ git describe 0b8b2668f998 => v6.12-rc2-43-g0b8b2668f998 (from what I know this is 43 patches on top of v6.12-rc2 as per the man page: "The command finds the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit. [...] it suffixes the tag name with the number of additional commits on top of the tagged object and the abbreviated object name of the most recent commit."
But it was merged as part of: uml-for-linus-6.13-rc1 : https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1155823186.11802667.1732921581257.JavaMail.zimb...
That's not all that implausible - UML maintenance is slow and we all have a lot of things to do... so chances are we just didn't send a pull request for 6.12-rc even though the tree was already there. I'm trying to improve that but it's not really a focus for any of us.
