The developers of the Arch Linux-based CachyOS distribution released today the ISO snapshot for March 2025, featuring the latest and greatest Linux kernel, a new bootloader, and other changes.

Migration is the act of moving data from one location in physical
memory to another. The kernel may migrate pages for many reasons,
including defragmentation, improving NUMA locality, moving data to or from
memory hosted on a peripheral device, or freeing a range of
memory for other uses. Given the importance of migration to the
memory-management subsystem, there is a lot of interest in improving its
performance and removing impediments to its success. Several sessions in
the memory-management track of the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management, and BPF Summit were dedicated to this topic.

Cloud Hypervisor began as an open-source Intel software project more than a half-decade ago with an emphasis on security and cloud deployments while leveraging the Rust programming language. With time its scope has broadened a lot as has its industry adoption. With time it added ARM64 support and recruited AMD, Ampere Computing, Microsoft, and others as its supporters while being folded into the Linux Foundation. The latest expansion for the project is introducing experimental RISC-V 64-bit support…
