Earlier this week I wrote about Sheaves as an opt-in, per-CPU array-based caching layer likely coming for Linux 6.18. The sheaves patches have been queued into the “slab/for-next” Git branch ahead of the Linux 6.18 kernel merge window. Patches posted now by Google are showing the Linux Sheaves code having a massive beneficial impact for large AMD systems…

Many inappropriate behaviours against us (for merely talking about UEFI ‘secure boot’) are being reported and relayed to the British authorities (including as recently as 5 hours ago) and we shall continue writing about the subject, no matter how many threats we receive. Or how many get sent to my wife, too. While she’s on holiday and mourning death in her family.

In the past few months at Intel between layoffs / corporate reorganizations and some deciding to pursue job opportunities elsewhere, there have been unfortunate impacts to their Linux engineering resources. Intel over the summer lost some prominent Linux engineering talent and in turn has even led to upstream Linux drivers being orphaned along with other driver maintainers departing and various other staffing changes. Unfortunate for Intel, another notable Linux name has left the company…

Complex systems are bound to have holes and in Microsoft’s case bug/back doors are the actual objective. Screwing around with GNU/Linux (while pretending to “love Linux”) is another objective.

Creating welcoming communities within open-source projects is a recurring
topic at conferences; those projects rely on contributions from others, so
making them welcome is important. The kernel has, rather infamously
over the years, been an oft-cited example of an unwelcoming project, though
there have been (and are) multiple efforts to change that with varying
degrees of success. Hans de Goede talked about such efforts within his
corner of the kernel project in a talk (YouTube video) at
Open
Source Summit Europe.

Bcachefs is shifting to an external DKMS module in Linux kernel 6.18 after becoming externally maintained. Here’s the upcoming Bcachefs changes.

Last month I provided a fresh look at the Intel Arc A-Series graphics between the i915 and Xe kernel graphics drivers for Linux systems. The aging i915 driver is the default for the Alchemist GPUs but there is “experimental” support with the modern Xe kernel graphics driver. There were some performance advantages for the Arc A-Series if switching over to that newer driver option. Similarly, there are advantages with Meteor Lake too when moving from the i915 to Xe Linux drivers. Here are benchmarks to quantify that advantage.
