The Linux kernel supports a wide variety of filesystems, many of which are no longer in heavy use — or, perhaps, any use at all. The kernel code implementing the less-popular filesystems tends to be relatively unpopular as well, receiving little in the way of maintenance....

The second 6.7 kernel prepatch is out for testing. 'The most noticeable thing is probably the turbostat tool update, which actually came in during the merge window, but was delayed by just waiting for getting the pull request properly signed.'

One of the core constraints when programming in the kernel is the need to avoid sleeping when running in atomic context. For the most part, the responsibility for adherence to this rule is placed on the developer's shoulders; Rust developers, though, want the compiler to...

The addition of realtime support to Linux is a long story; it first shows up in LWN in 2004. For much of that time, it has seemed like only a little more work was needed to get across the finish line; thus we ran headlines like the realtime preemption endgame — in 2009. At ...

Building new kernels and booting into them is an unavoidable—and time-consuming—part of kernel development. Andrea Righi works for Canonical on the Ubuntu kernel team, so he does a lot of that and wanted to find a way to speed up the task. To that end, he has been...

Tavis Ormandy has described a bug in some Intel CPUs that can lead to a crash (or worse): We believe this bug causes the frontend to miscalculate the size of the movsb instruction, causing subsequent entries in the ROB [reorder buffer] to be associated with incorrect...

For the COBOL users out there, James K. Lowden has posted an update on the current status of the GNU COBOL compiler. When in November we turn back our clocks, then naturally do programmers' thoughts turn to Cobol, its promise, and future. At last post, nine months ago, we ...
