Intel continues prepping the Linux kernel for X86S
Wednesday March 13, 2024. 04:57 PM , from OS News
Nearly one year ago Intel published the X86S specification (formerly stylized as “X86-S”) for simplifying the Intel architecture by removing support for 16-bit and 32-bit operating systems. X86S is a big step forward with dropping legacy mode, 5-level paging improvements, and other modernization improvements for x86_64. With the Linux 6.9 kernel more x86S bits are in place for this ongoing effort.
↫ Michael Larabel I doubt we’ll see much fallout from these changes.
