One might not think that much could be said about a simple macro defining a constant integer value. But the kernel is special, it seems. A change to the definition of MAX_ORDER has had a number of follow-on effects, and the task of cleaning up after this change is not done...

Linus has released 6.7-rc8 for testing. So as expected, pretty much nothing happened over the holiday week. We've got literally just 45 files changed, and almost a third of those files aren't even kernel code (ie things like selftests, scripting, Kconfig and maintainer...

The Julia programming language project has released Julia v1.10. It is mainly a performance release, with only two new language features mentioned in the release notes: 'JuliaSyntax.jl is now used as the default parser, providing better diagnostics and faster parsing.' and...

The Debian project has completed a general-resolution vote, adopting a statement expressing concern about the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) pending in the European Union. Even if only 'commercial activities' are in the scope of CRA, the Free Software community - and as a...

As is the tradition for the Ruby programming language, December 25 is the date for new major releases; this year, Ruby 3.3.0 was released. It comes with a new parser called 'Prism' that is 'both a C library that will be used internally by CRuby and a Ruby gem that can be...

The 6.7-rc7 kernel prepatch is out for testing. Anyway, rc7 itself looks fairly normal. It's actually a bit bigger than rc6 was, but not hugely so, and nothing in here looks at all strange. Please do give it a whirl if you have the time and the energy, but let's face it, I ...

The 5.15.145 stable kernel has been released. It consists mostly of fixes to the ksmbd subsystem, which has been marked as broken due to (until now) a lack of support for the 5.15.x kernels.

Unsurprisingly, Linus Torvalds has let it be known that he will do a 6.7-rc8 release (rather than 6.7 final) on December 31, thus avoiding opening the 6.8 merge window on New Year's Day. Just FYI - my current plan is that -rc7 will happen this Saturday (because I still...

Tooling for profiling the effects of memory usage and layout has always lagged behind that for profiling processor activity, so Namhyung Kim's patch set for data-type profiling in perf is a welcome addition. It provides aggregated breakdowns of memory accesses by data type...
