[$] An update and future plans for DAMON

1 év 4 hónap óta
The DAMON subsystem was the subject of the first session in the memory-management track at the Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit. DAMON maintainer SeongJae Park introduced the data-access monitoring framework, which can generate snapshots of how memory is accessed, enabling the detection of hot and cold regions of memory in both the virtual and physical address spaces. The session covered recent changes and future plans for this tool.

White paper: Vendor Kernels, Bugs and Stability

1 év 4 hónap óta
Ronnie Sahlberg, Jonathan Maple, and Jeremy Allison of CiQ have published a white paper looking at the security-relevant bug fixes applied (or not applied) to the RHEL 8.x kernel over time.

This means that over time, the security of the RHEL kernels get worse and worse as more issues are discovered in the upstream code and are potentially exploitable but fewer and fewer of the fixes for these known bugs are back-ported into RHEL kernels.

After reaching RHEL 8.7, the theory is that the kernel has been stabilized, with a corresponding improvement in security. However we still have an influx of newly discovered bugs in the upstream kernel affecting RHEL 8.7 that are not addressed. Each minor version of upstream is released on an approximately quarterly basis and we can see that the influx of new bugs that are unaddressed in RHEL is growing. The number of known issues in these kernels increases by approximately 250 new bugs per quarter or more.

1 év 4 hónap óta
The merge window for the 6.10 kernel release opened on May 12; between then and the time of this writing, 6,819 non-merge commits were pulled into the mainline kernel for that release. Your editor has taken some time out from LSFMM+BPF in an attempt to keep up with the commit flood. Read on for an overview of the most significant changes that were pulled in the early part of the 6.10 merge window.

Neovim 0.10 released

1 év 4 hónap óta

Version 0.10 of the Vim-based text editor Neovim is now available. This release includes a new default color scheme, enhanced support for rendering multibyte characters, support for hyperlinks, system clipboard synchronization, and more. Many features have been deprecated in 0.10 and will be removed in future release. Neovim core contributor Gregory Anders has written a summary of some of the highlights and thoughts on upcoming releases:

We follow a "fun driven development" paradigm: for the most part, contributors and maintainers work on things that are personally interesting to them. Because of this, it can be difficult to predict what will happen in future releases. If there is a feature you want to see implemented, the best way to do it is to take a crack at it yourself: many of the features mentioned in this very blog post were contributed by users that are not part of the "core" maintenance team!
