Δε μπορείς να νικήσεις το σύστημα!
Στην καλύτερη περίπτωση, μερικές φορές, μπορείς να το κάνεις να σου συμπεριφερθεί όμορφα.

KernelCI now testing Linux Rust code (Collabora blog)

Over on the Collabora blog, Adrian Ratiu writes about the addition of the kernel's Rust code to the KernelCI automated kernel testing project. The blog post looks at what it took to add the support and on some plans for future additions, as well. An interesting challenge for the rustc docker builds was the fact that the standard Rust method of installin […]

[$] Checking page-cache status with cachestat()

The kernel's page cache holds pages from files in RAM, allowing those pages to be accessed without expensive trips to persistent storage. Applications are normally entirely unaware of the page cache's operation; it speeds things up and that is all that matters. Some applications, though, can benefit from knowledge about how much of a given file is […]

A 10-minute guide to the Linux ABI (opensource.com)

Alison Chaiken provides an overview of Linux ABI concerns on opensource.com. Understanding the stable ABI is a bit subtle. Consider that, while most of sysfs is stable ABI, the debug interfaces are guaranteed to be unstable since they expose kernel internals to userspace. In general, Linus Torvalds has pronounced that by "don't break userspace, […]

[$] Losing the magic

The kernel project is now more than three decades old; over that time, a number of development practices have come and gone. Once upon a time, the use of "magic numbers" to identify kernel data structures was seen as a good way to help detect and debug problems. Over the years, though, the use of magic numbers has gone into decline; this patch set […]

Kernel prepatch 6.1-rc8

The eighth and presumably final 6.1 kernel prepatch has been released for testing. "So everything looks good, and while the calming down may have happened later than I wished for, it did happen. Let's hope this upcoming week is as quiet (or quieter)."

[$] Juggling software interrupts and realtime tasks

The software-interrupt mechanism is one of the oldest parts in the kernel; arguably, the basic design behind it predates Linux itself. Software interrupts can get in the way of other work so, for almost as long as they have existed, developers have wished that they could be made to go away. That has never happened, though, and doesn't look imminent. Ins […]
