Wonder how many more "strikes" are needed? I think we've seen far too many already. Heck, even the Phoronix commenters seem to think enough is enough.

Just posted[1] 2024-Q3 DAMON news letter. It contains a number of news regarding new features, more users, repos reorganizations, and conference talks.

Thorsten Leemhuis (acct. 1/4)
kernellogger@fosstodon.org#sched_ext, which allows scheduling policies to be implemented as #BPF programs, has been merged for #Linux 6.12:
https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/88264981f2082248e892a706b2c5004650faac54
See https://lwn.net/Articles/922405/ for a description of what it does and https://lwn.net/Articles/972710/ for the controversy it caused that is the reason why it took so long to land in mainline.

phoronix@masto.aiSched_ext Merged For Linux 6.12 - Scheduling Policies As BPF Programs
Linux 6.12 is shaping up to be a heck of a kernel update! Following real-time "PREEMPT_RT" going mainline after twenty years and many other kernel features merged this week, Linus Torvalds just pulled in the much anticipated sched_ext code!..

My Kernel Memory Management LPC Micro Conference talk titled "DAMON: Long-term Plans for Kernel That {Just Works,Extensible}" was successful.
The video[1] and slides[2] are available. I was obviously nervous since I forgot contents of the slides due to the great talks from two previous speakers (I highly recommend you to watch those). I like it though, since it reminds me how humble I am ;)

MM pull request for Linux v6.12-rc1 is posted[1] by Andrew Morton. Important fixes / cleanups for DAMON are included:
- mm/damon/lru_sort: adjust local variable to dynamic allocation
- misc fixups for DAMON {self,kunit} tests
- replace per-quota region priorities histogram buffer with per-context one
- Docs/damon: update GitHub repo URLs and maintainer-profile
I believe it is a good list of changes for next LTS kernel candidate.

Lots of people thanked me for my work on b4 this week. It feels very nice, but I want to remind everyone that b4 wouldn't be possible without public-inbox. Please email Eric Wong (privately) and thank him for his work -- I am pretty sure he can use some good vibes.

Not sure if this is what you want, but there is __attribute__((tainted_args)) since gcc 12.

This "untrusted data" patch series from Benno Lossin is the result of conversations at last weekend's Rust Linux kernel conference in Copenhagen:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240913112643.542914-1-benno.lossin@proton.me/
It's not a "silver bullet" for why we should be using rust in the Linux kernel, but it is a "big giant sledgehammer" to help squash and prevent from happening MANY common types of kernel vulnerabilities and bugs (remember, "all input is evil!" and this change forces you to always be aware of that, which is something that C in the kernel does not.)
I had always felt that Rust was the future for what we need to do in Linux, but now I'm sure, because if we can do stuff like this, with no overhead involved (it's all checked at build time), then we would be foolish not to give it a real try.
And yes, I've asked for this for years from the C developers, and maybe we can also do it there, but it's not obvious how and no one has come up with a way to do so. Maybe now they will have some more incentive :)

I have often complained that, even though thousands of developers are paid to work on the Linux kernel, there is not a single person whose job it is to write documentation for the kernel. The problem is wider than that, though: Alejandro Colomar, who has been maintaining the man pages collection for the last four years, can no longer afford to do it for free.

@authentic_sammj Thank you, Sam! It's not easy for me to say whether it will be cool. You know me ;) But I will hopefully share the next news soon. Let's see.

Very impressive CXL-based memory tiering performance of HMSDK is shared[1] with a cool video. It is the grateful result of a collaboration between DAMON community and SK hynix. It was never a one-side help, but a collaboration. DAMON also gained its ability to do tiered memory managements from the collaboration.
I'm grateful to be a part of the work. I was always impressed and learned many things from SK hynix' innovative ideas and constructive discussions. I'm looking forward to continued collaborations and next outputs!

Here's a link to the slides for my "Why are there so many kernel CVEs?" talk I gave at OSS China yesterday:
https://kccncossaidevchn2024.sched.com/event/ed2b39a9a0cdfc1df18de67ce0c2f6be
Link to git repo for the slides if the schedule site acts odd for you:
https://git.sr.ht/~gregkh/presentation-security
It was fun, and will be the "set up" for my Kernel Recipes talk in Paris in a few weeks (only 3 conferences to go between now and then, travel is back in full swing.)
