Fun fact: you might become my thousandth follower on Mastodon, if you follow me in the next few hours. 🙃

2/ …the current Rust support in the #Linux #kernel is pretty basic:

Miguel merged v2 of the rust core additions (aka "the first batch of changes to upstream the rest of the #Rustang support"(¹)). They are in #Linux-next already and it looks like he plans to submit them for inclusion in #kernel 6.2: https://t.co/rl9E2MnytN 1/ (¹) reminder, …

#Linux #kernel 6.1-rc8 is out, final expected in one week from now (e.g. on Sun, Dec 11th): https://t.co/BaH9rgMaJR "[…] So everything looks good […] Let's hope this upcoming week is as quiet (or quieter). […]"

I was hoping to post this when we had had next year's venue locked down, but we are still not there yet. Anyway, Thanks for all the krill! https://t.co/H0Z5zpxgzw

Outcome of my #Linux #kernel regression tracking work yesterday: * one reverts for a performance regression queued * one revert submitted, but then somebody showed up and pointed to a possible fix * one more revert under discussion All of that still for Linux 6.1.

HID-BPF won't make it into #Linux #kernel 6.2 after all, as it uses an approach Linus really dislikes and doesn't want to see in mainline: https://t.co/U0Uch36zo4 https://t.co/mKLeAYKfT8 Developers plan to change things, hence HID-BPF will likely be merged in a later release.

git-pile 1.0 released:

Hey @kernellogger , think we can start adding comments for Linux kernel functions that don't have them? (I wonder if the explanation is correct).

The new subsystem for compute accelerator devices ( https://t.co/RYSylag6In) is now in #Linux-next and thus slated for inclusion in #kernel 6.2: https://t.co/lbmmTitXtx Congrats to everyone involved!

#Mesa 22.3.0 is out: https://t.co/XgtTQkAJ8x Besides usual (performance optimizations, support for new GPUs, …) it brings: * Rusticl: a OpenCL implementation written in Rust * improved Radeon RX 7000 support * OpenGL threading by default in RadeonSI * Mali T620 on panfrost

The main focus of my time for the last 8-9 months was sent to vger this morning: https://t.co/41LgpPEtTb I'm super excited about the possibility of implementing scheduling policies with BPF. Very grateful to Tejun for leading the effort and allowing me to tag along for the ride.

From the #QEMU blog: Introduction to Zoned Storage Emulation – https://t.co/sL5NyrGmde "QEMU hasn’t directly supported ZBDs before so this article explains how they work and why QEMU needed to be extended."

Tejun Heo proposed a "BPF extensible scheduler class" for the #Linux #kernel's process scheduler which allows scheduling policies to be implemented as #BPF (aka #eBPF) programs: https://t.co/Yq3cZPqsvu

Reminder, there is a RSS feet for my mastodon presence: https://t.co/NInG4Yx3Af Maybe that works as a stopgap for some of you here, if I really retire this account. But it looks more and more likely…
