Civil Infrastructure Platform to maintain 6.1 for 10 years
The Civil Infrastructure Platform project has announced
that it will be maintaining the 6.1 kernel for a minimum of ten years past
its initial release (and, thus, through 2032).
CIP kernels are maintained like regular long-term-stable (LTS)
kernels, and developers of the CIP kernel are also involved in LTS
kernel review and testing. While regular LTS kernels are moving
back to 2 years maintenance, CIP kernels are set up for 10
years. In order to enable this extended lifetime, CIP kernels are
scoped-down in actively supported kernel features and target
architecture. At the same time, CIP kernels accept non-invasive
backports from newer mainline kernels that enable new hardware.

[$] Finer-grained BPF tokens
Programs running in the BPF machine can, depending on how they are
attached, perform a number of privileged operations; the ability to load
and run those programs, thus, must be a privileged operation in its own
right. Almost since the beginning of the extended-BPF era, developers have
struggled to find a way to allow users to run the programs they need
without giving away more privilege than is necessary. Earlier this year,
the idea of a BPF token ran into some
opposition from security-oriented developers. Andrii Nakryiko has since
returned with an
updated patch set that significantly increases the granularity of the
privileges that can be conferred with a BPF token.
