Hey #Linux #Kernel people. Last year we had the first #Kernel Devroom at #FOSDEM. And we're running the #Kernel Devroom for #FOSDEM in 2024 as well!
#FOSDEM 2024 is taking place over the weekend of the 3 & 4 February in Brussels, Belgium!
It is a wonderful event that's very close to my and a lot of people's hearts!
Join @rppt, Daniel Borkmann, and @stgraber, and myself and make this another great #FOSDEM!
We're very excited for your submissions!

For the 2023 ClangBuiltLinux meetup, I decided to revisit my benchmarks comparing how building LLVM with different optimizations such as LTO, PGO, and BOLT can impact how fast it can build Linux kernels:
TL;DR: PGO and BOLT can give huge wins, LTO not so much.
It was pretty wild to see how much PGO made a difference, almost twice as fast in some cases... The kernel.org LLVM toolchains I provide are built with PGO and BOLT for this reason:
