#kerneldevelopment — Public Fediverse posts

In a heated Torvalds AI code review clash, the Linux creator tells opponents of the Sashiko bot to fork the kernel or leave the project.

Some people asked about performance, so here is a video of #RISC_OS #Merlin booting (instantly) and running a graphics demo in #QEMU, Merlin is using its own software framebuffer in this demo, not yet GPU acceleration:

AI-Powered Bug Hunters Overwhelm Linux Security List

If you're using AI tools to find bugs, make sure to go the extra mile by creating a patch and adding real value to your report, rather than just sending a superficial notice. Don't be a drive-by reporter - take the time to understand the issue and contribute meaningfully.

Oh wow, Linux gaming is faster now because it's borrowing Windows' homework 📝—how original! 🤔 Who knew that the key to Linux's gaming prowess was just to sprinkle some Windows APIs in the kernel soup? 🍵🎮 Bravo, open-source innovation! 👏

🔢 So apparently, math is hard, and the #OpenBSD folks have just discovered that working with different processor architectures isn't like playing with Legos. Who knew that kernel development wasn't just a cozy walk in the park with unicorns and rainbows? 🙄 Keep those exceptions coming, OpenBSD! 🐢💻

🎉 Breaking news: After much ado, the "experiment" with Rust in the kernel has "graduated" to a permanent status! 🏆 Because, hey, why not add a little more confusion to the already incomprehensible world of kernel development? 😂 Congratulations to the #RustforLinux team for turning a "trial" into a triumph that nobody knew they were waiting for. 🔧🦀

💻 Weekend project: I finally got time to update the #MerlinOS presentation with the newest features.

Highlights:

* Source level debugging for ROM and flash images in MS VSCode
* UART debugging features that support source symbols, showing the module and line number in the source that triggered a panic

okay #osdev mastodon, enlighten me:

I’m building out my virtual memory alloc right now and it appears all other production kernels use some sort of *intrusive tree* for that. Why is that?

My thinking is: I already have a kernel heap thats “wired” aka directly allocated and mapped. And all virtmem impls I could find call out to *some* “backing allocator” anyways to allocate new tree nodes.

So if they aren’t fully allocation free anyway, why don’t I just use a sorted growable vec of entries allocated from the kernel heap?
What’s the advantage of intrusive data structures here that im missing?

It's never too late for an ambitious goal and to learn something new. I'm reading "Linux Kernel Programming - Second Edition" by Kaiwan N. Billimoria [1]. Chapter two brought back a lot of memories. Glad that "make menuconfig" and the like are still around even after so many years I didn't touch them. Wish me luck on my journey to contribute to the Linux Kernel one day.
