I'd like to announce two new libseccomp releases today: libseccomp v2.5.6 which is a minor maintenance release to the v2.5.z release stream, and libseccomp v2.6.0 which is a new feature release for libseccomp. More details in the link below, but libseccomp v2.6.0 adds support for new architectures, transactional filter updates, and more. Give it a try, you'll like it :)

And then your's truly will give four talks, at various different places. First of all I have a keynote:

And unlike some well-known billionaire I am not going to chicken out of my mine. Ha!

Who says that pair programming can't be productive?

For the 2 weeks over Christmas + New Year, my work days were meeting-free. I got a lot of stuff done as a result. It was very freeing.

When I returned to a normal schedule this week, a sense of dread accompanied it. I considered why. It was meetings. Specifically, weekly obligatory pro forma have-em-because-they-are-on-the-calendar meetings. No-agenda meetings. The kind often organized by physics collaborations.

My resolutions for 2025: no agenda, no attenda. Only meetings with purpose.

Lots of recent picolibc news:

* Oliver Stannard at ARM got testing running on the FVP emulator for more rigorous AARCH64 validation.

* Eduard Tanase fixed a bunch of documentation issues.

* Joel Holdsworth added OpenRisc support.

* Jiaxun Yang fixed my janky tools situation by creating picolibc-ci-tools which auto-builds all of the extra bits we need for CI. They also add LoongArch and LatticeMico32 support. The latter uncovered GCC bugs which I had fun fixing.

Thanks to all of you!

util-linux has merged support for statmount() and listmount() to list mounts:
https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/pull/3092#event-15865684400

This should be a nice performance improvement.

See https://brauner.io/2024/12/16/list-all-mounts.html for some details on listmount() and statmount().
