BPF programs can run in both sleepable and non-sleepable (atomic) contexts.
Currently, sleepable BPF programs are not allowed to enter an atomic context.
Puranjay Mohan has a
new patch set that changes that. The patch set would let BPF programs called
in sleepable contexts temporarily acquire locks that cause the programs to
transition to an atomic context. BPF maintainer Alexei
Starovoitov objected to parts of the implementation, however, so acceptance of
the patch depends on whether Mohan is willing and able to straighten it out.
With Intel’s new Core Ultra Series 3 “Panther Lake” laptop SoCs, the Xe3-based Arc B390 graphics and much improved CPU performance capture much of the spotlight. One new capability with Panther Lake that isn’t featured as much though is the new FRED capability with Flexible Return and Event Delivery. Today’s Intel Panther Lake testing is looking at the very interesting performance impact of FRED on Linux.
M5Stack has added the M5StampS3 BAT, a compact embedded module based on the ESP32-S3 platform with integrated battery power management. The module is intended for IoT and low-power applications requiring wireless connectivity and flexible GPIO access in a small form factor. The module is built around the ESP32-S3-PICO-1-N8R8 system-in-package, featuring a dual-core Xtensa LX7 processor […]

Digital safety is a pressing concern in an increasingly connected world. In classrooms everywhere, educators face the challenge of supporting young people to learn about cybersecurity and to navigate online risks and the impact of AI tools and social media.
In issue 29 of Hello World, out today for free, educators all over the world share what digital safety and security mean in their classrooms. We hope this new issue will help you to actively empower your learners by equipping them with the understanding and skills to safely navigate our complex digital landscape.
The issue covers questions such as:
Beyond the focus on safety and security, here are three highlights from issue 29:
We also have new podcast episodes coming out over the next few weeks to continue the conversations started in the magazine.
The first episode is another edition of our teacher tips series, where computer science educators and experts from around the globe share practical, actionable tips that you can use in your classroom. In the upcoming episode, teachers will be sharing what works for them to engage students in cybersecurity, protect schools from cybersecurity breaches, and safely introduce generative AI to the classroom.
In the second episode, we’ll talk to Dr. Karla Badillo-Urquiola about her research in online safety in the Global South.
To listen to these podcasts, make sure you follow us in your preferred app, or head to helloworld.cc/podcast.
Visit helloworld.cc/29 to read our newest issue for free today, and let us know what you think by leaving a comment here or on our social media.
helloworld.cc is also where you go to subscribe and find older issues of Hello World magazine.
If you have a moment, do leave us a podcast review or share the magazine with a fellow educator. It really helps more people to discover Hello World.
