Intel CPU Security Mitigation Costs From Haswell Through Panther Lake
Over the past month on Phoronix there have been a lot of benchmarks of Intel’s new Core Ultra Series 3 “Panther Lake” with the Core Ultra X7 358H. One of the areas of Panther Lake not explored yet is around the CPU security mitigation impact, which is the focus of today’s benchmarking. The performance tests today are not only looking at the impact of the Core Ultra X7 SoC at its default versus running in a “mitigations=off” configuration but also comparing the overall CPU security mitigation impact with the run-time toggle going back all the way to Intel Haswell era laptops.

[$] Practical uses for a null filesystem
One of the first changes merged for the upcoming 7.0 release was nullfs,
an empty filesystem that cannot actually contain any files. One might
logically wonder why the kernel would need such a thing. It turns out,
though, that there are places where a null filesystem can come in handy.
For 7.0, nullfs will be used to make life a bit easier for init
programs; future releases will likely use nullfs to increase the isolation
of kernel threads from the init process.
