The C programming language is replete with features that seemed like a good
idea at the time (and perhaps even were good ideas then) that have not aged
well. Most would likely agree that string handling, and the use of
NUL-terminated strings, is one of those. Kernel developers have, for
years, tried to improve the handling of strings in an attempt to slow the
flow of bugs and vulnerabilities that result from mistakes in that area.
Now there is an early discussion on the idea of moving away from
NUL-terminated strings in much of the kernel.

The kernel has, for many years, had the ability to control how memory
allocation is performed in systems with multiple NUMA nodes. More
recently, NUMA nodes have also been pressed into service to represent
different classes of memory; those nodes are now organized into tiers
according to their performance characteristics. While memory-allocation
policies can control the placement of pages at the NUMA-node level, the
kernel provides no way to connect those policies with memory tiers. This
patch series from Gregory Price aims to change this situation by
allowing allocations to be placed across tiers in a weighted manner.
