Right :)

Not sure what you mean? I found it easier to read to put a blank line
between the text and the references.

They provide the references that were set in the original report

http://lore.kernel.org/all/IA1PR07MB98308653E259A6F2CE94A4AFABCE9@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Arguably the "branch" and "config" are not that useful since the bug has
been there for more than a dozen years, but notably the "Reproducer" is
useful to provide a userland program that triggers the UB.

I though it was there forever, but it seems the check was added in 2007,
so I'll add it in next version.

Yes. I added stable in Cc of the mail but missed adding it in the text,
I will add it.

As mentioned by Jiri, yes in the 32 case it's needed otherwise it's UB.
