Daniel Almeida continues his look at graphics drivers on the Collabora blog. The starting point is to understand that a kernel-mode GPU driver connects a much larger UMD (user-mode driver) to the actual GPU. The UMD will actually implement APIs like Vulkan, OpenGL, OpenCL, ...
There is a great deal of misunderstanding, and some misinformation, about the Trusted Platform Module (TPM); to combat this, Debian developer Jonathan McDowell would like to clear the air and help users understand what it is good for, as well as what it's not. At DebConf25...

The use of huge pages can significantly increase the performance of many workloads by reducing both memory-management overhead in the kernel and pressure on the system's translation lookaside buffer (TLB). The addition of transparent huge pages (THP) for the 2.6.38 kernel...
The call for topics for the 2025 Maintainers Summit has been posted. The Summit, to be held in Tokyo on December 10, will involve around 30 developers gathered to discuss development-process issues for the kernel. Anybody who is interested in attending is encouraged to post...
