Linux 6.5+ Is Great For The Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 4 / AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U

Posted on by

As shown already the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 4 with AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U works out well on Linux and is very speedy as shown with that prior benchmarking on Linux 6.3, but for those moving to Linux 6.5 or newer the performance and power efficiency is even better. Like for those moving to the newly-released Ubuntu 23.10 with Linux 6.5, there are some nice performance gains to find with this laptop — similar to the experience seen with various AMD Ryzen desktops on the new kernel.

[$] mseal() and what comes after

Posted on by

Jeff Xu recently proposed
the addition of a new system call, named mseal(), that would allow
applications to prevent modifications to selected memory mappings. It
would enable the hardening of user-space applications against certain types
of attacks; some other operating systems have this type of feature already.
There is support for adding this type of mechanism to the Linux kernel as
well, but it has become clear that mseal() will not land in the
mainline in anything resembling its current form. Instead, it has become
an example of how not to do kernel development at a number of levels.
