Kernel 6.0 released

Linus has released the 6.0 kernel as expected. So, as is hopefully clear to everybody, the major version number change is more about me running out of fingers and toes than it is about any big fundamental changes. But of course there's a lot of various changes in 6.0 - we've got over 15k non-merge commits in there in total, after all, and as such 6 […]

[$] Hybrid scheduling gets more complicated

Just over ten years ago, the Arm big.LITTLE architecture posed a challenge for the kernel's CPU scheduler: how should processes be assigned to CPUs when not all CPUs have the same capacity? The situation has not gotten simpler since then; new systems bring new quirks that must be kept in mind for optimal scheduling. At the 2022 Linux Plumbers Conference […]

[$] How to fix an ancient GDB problem

The GDB debugger has a long history; it was first created in 1986. It may thus be unsurprising that some GDB development happens over relatively long time frames but, even when taking that into account, the existence of an open bug first reported in 2007 may be a little surprising. At the 2022 GNU Tools Cauldron, GDB maintainer Pedro Alves talked about why t […]
