I've already answered it elsewhere -- more than once -- and I'm trying not to waste any more time on it. I think the Linux Foundation is best positioned to coordinate a detailed written response.
There's some extra research I did that I haven't shared yet, including, for example, when the bugs were introduced (still needs double checking):
- Bug 1: Mar 2011, for Linux 2.6.38
- Bug 2: Apr 2012, for Linux 3.4
- Bug 3: Dec 2009, for Linux 2.6.32
- Bug 4: Feb 2015, for Linux 3.19
This paper was published in early 2016, with the title "A decade of wasted cores".
