The Gentoo Linux project has announced the availability of qcow2 images for amd64 (x86_64) and arm64 (aarch64), and plans to 'eventually' offer images for the riscv64 and loongarch64 architectures. The images, updated weekly, include an EFI boot partition and a fully...
One of the often-requested LWN site features that has languished the longest on our to-do list is full-text RSS feeds. We are happy to announce that, finally, there is a set of such feeds available; the full set can be seen on our feeds page. This is a subscriber-only...

The conversation around the merging of a set of Rust abstractions for the kernel's DMA-mapping layer has mostly settled after Linus Torvalds made it clear that the code would be accepted. One other consequence of this decision, though, is that Christoph Hellwig has quietly...
The Linux kernel supports attaching BPF programs to many operations. This is generally safe because the BPF verifier ensures that BPF programs can't misuse kernel resources, run indefinitely, or otherwise escape their boundaries. There is continuing tension, however, between ...

Version 2.0 of the Aqualung gapless music player has been released. Aqualung supports playback of a wide range of audio formats, ripping CDs to WAV, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, or MP3, and subscribing to podcasts via RSS or Atom feeds. The primary change in this release is the...
The kernel's slab allocator is responsible for the allocation of small (usually sub-page) chunks of memory. For many workloads, the speed of object allocation and freeing is one of the key factors in overall performance, so it is not surprising that a lot of effort has gone...
The AlmaLinux project has published a request for comments (RFC) on rebuilding Fedora's Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL), which provides additional software for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and its derivatives, to support older x86_64 hardware that is not...
The Emacs extensible text editor (among other things) has made a security release to address two vulnerabilities. Emacs 30.1 has fixes for CVE-2025-1244, which is a shell-command-injection flaw in the man.el man page browser and for CVE-2024-53920, which is a code-execution...

The 6.14-rc4 kernel prepatch is out for testing. 'This continues to be the right kind of 'boring' release: nothing in particular stands out in rc4'.

The pytest-mh project is a plugin that provides a multi-host test framework for the popular pytest unit-testing framework and test runner. Work on pytest-mh started in 2023 to solve a multitude of issues that cropped up for developers and testers when testing the SSSD...
Greg Kroah-Hartman has released another four stable kernels: 6.13.4, 6.12.16, 6.6.79, and 6.1.129. As usual, all users are advised to upgrade.

At the end of January we ran this article on the discussions around a set of Rust bindings for the kernel's DMA-mapping layer. Many pixels have been expended on the topic since across the net, most recently in this sprawling email thread. Linus Torvalds has now made his...

Version 1.85.0 of the Rust language has been released. Changes in the release include support for async closures, some convenience iterators for tuples, and a number of stabilized APIs. The headline feature, though, is that this release stabilizes the Rust 2024 edition,...
The maximum filesystem block size that the kernel can support has always been limited by the host page size for Linux, even if the filesystems could handle larger block sizes. The large-block-size (LBS) patches that were merged for the 6.12 kernel removed this limitation in...
