Joder, me puse a escribir la nueva encuesta de hoy, y el feedback de la de ayer, leyendo algo de doc, info en la red, y cuando levanté la vista, estaba codeando en C analizando los process group ID en #Linux 😅

A veces me llama el código de sistema y me pierdo ☺️

#gnu #linux #clang #c #code #programming #kernel #POSIX.1

Bijan's DAMON patch series[1] for dynamic NUMA memory weighted interleaving that shows ~25% performance improvements on a test is now merged into mm-new, and looks good to me. I'm more than exciting to see this is on the track and grateful to have a chance to participate!

2/ Und FWIW zur Info:

* Die oben verlinkte Fixes sind in #Linux Mainline eingeflossen und werden somit Teil von #kernel 6.16-rc6, das Sonntagnacht erscheinen sollte[1].

* Die Fixes werden auch in neue Versionen aller derzeit gepflegten Linux-stable Serien 5.15 und neuer einfließen, die derzeit in ihrer -rc Phase sind und die nächsten Tage erscheinen (etwa 6.12.37 und 6.15.6).

[1] reminder, nutzt statt mainline -rcs ruhig tagesaktuelle git snapshots, die sind genauso gut

""Die #Linux-Community hat bereits reagiert und einen #Kernel-Patch gegen TSA freigegeben, schreibt Phoronix. Dabei wurden die Sicherheitslücken von Microsoft gefunden.""

Was will uns der Autor damit sagen?

Die Sicherheitslücke hat MS natürlich an AMD gemeldet – und das Unternehmen ist bekanntermaßen eine der Größen in der "Linux-Community", daher haben Mitarbeiter von AMD zusammen mit andere Teile der Community im Hintergrund entsprechende Fixes vorbereitet, die Linus Torvalds dann zum Ende des NDA sofort eingepflegt hat.

Und warum eigentlich Phoronix erwähnen, statt auf die Originalquelle zu verlinken[1], wo Interessierte wesentliche Informationen finden?

"#Mozilla can press on with independent subprojects such as #Thunderbird owners #MZLA #Technologies #Corporation. The popular #Electron #framework is based on #Chromium. It's too late to change that, even if maybe #Servo may one day offer an #alternative. But if #Thunderbird sucked in #Libpurple, it wouldn't matter if #Slack and #Teams and so on used #Electron, as Thunderbird could talk to the servers directly."
"But pointing at what we'd like to see is attempting to #treat the #symptoms and not the #disease. Is there a way to #encourage Mozilla to be an #organized, #focused, #professional #business, with #eyes keenly set on a clearly defined #goal? Perhaps that's the wrong #question. Perhaps that shouldn't be the goal at all. For all that the #Linux business is #huge, no #company #develops the #kernel. They all #cooperate on it. The #Linux #Foundation #funds it, but doesn't really #guide it."
"One #observer has been #spectating and #commentating on Mozilla since before it was a foundation – one of its original co-#developers, #JamieZawinksi. He has been accurately #cataloging Mozilla's #failings for #years."

Remember #Linux' pktcdvd driver, which allowed direct mounts with UDF of cd-rw drives that required 32kb packets?

That driver is now scheduled to be removed with #kernel 6.17, as a patch deleting it landed in linux-next today – that use-case is considered uncommon these days, as "the world has moved on from those kinds of media. To make matters worse, it's actively breaking setups where it's not even required or useful."

Wondering why the aarch64 and ppc64le numbers for my #Linux #kernel vanilla mainline copr (left in the screenshot) for #Fedora are higher than for the mainline-wo-mergew copr; they should be lower, as the former serves packages for about 2 out of 9 weeks, while the latter covers the rest of the time – and during those 7 weeks users of the mainline copr receive packages from the mainline-wo-mergew copr, as the latter if copr decency of the former, which is why the numbers for the mainline-wo-mergew copr should really be higher for those two archs, just like they are for x86_64.

Strange…

Or did users of those twi archs for some reason just missed/disabled the copr dependencies?
