Ten years. That's how long it's been since Jonathan Corbet last gave his famous Kernel Report at Kernel Recipes (https://archives.kernel-recipes.org/document/the-kernel-report/) and two years since the talk appeared on the schedule at all.

He'll be opening the conference with it.

In Jonathan's own words, the session covers "what is happening in the kernel community and where it might go."

Not registered yet? Hurry! Only a handful of seats left, especially for the full three days.

@paulmckrcu I'm so sorry to hear your miss, Paul. My condolences.

We buried my father today. He will be missed, but he was 94 years old and had a good run, holding his bit of sky for many decades. And how many can say that?

An extended obituary may be found here:

Today I learned yet another approach to use AI and a maintainer to compare something that they don't understand against their own solution. Creative, and disappointing to be honest. Sigh.

We will have the first DAMON (nano) Conference at LPC'26. The call for proposals [1] is just published. Looking forward to your submission and meet in Prague!

Meet the 2026 Kernel Recipes mascot.

Curious, optimistic, and very much in tune with the world around it.

This year, our little penguin is thinking beyond code. From sustainability to responsible tech, it reflects values that have always been close to the open source community.

With the devastating wildfires affecting France this summer, it also reminds us that technology doesn't exist in a vacuum. The challenges we face are shared—and so is the responsibility to build a better future.

I will present how to use DAMON in a right way with known wrong usages at Open Source Summit Europe in Prague. If DAMON disappointed you before, this will hopefully help you better understanding it.

@KernelRecipes I'm honored this year again, to have a session [1] at Kernel Recipes. Last year I introduced [2] how we can monitor data accesses. This year I will introduce how you can make kernel to self-drive the information for saving memory.

🔥So many Linux CVEs! To make them scarier, I asked my favorite LLM to come up with names. As you know, only vulnerabilities with a decent name and a URL are serious. ;-)

On this day 18 years ago, ftrace entered mainline! https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e18425a0abc

We are on the track [1]. Transitioning DAMON from" data access (and attributes) monitor" to "data attributes monitor" is the major changes for the ongoing DAMON extension project. The project is for per-CPUs/threads/reads/writes monitoring with AMD IBS-like h/w features. The patch series for that has been merged into mm-new today.

Linux 7.2-rc1 is released. Hence I posted DAMON newsletter [1] for the 7.2-rc1 cycle.

TLDR: The last development cycle for DAMON was the busiest cycle of its mainline history (~5 years, since 2021 September). 12 Authors landed 106 DAMON patches for a number of changes including 7 new features on the mainline. A roadmap for extending DAMON to utilize AMD IBS, Intel PEBS like h/w features and do per-CPUs/threads/reads/writes monitoring is made.
