📰 LLM-Assisted Patches For Linux 7.1 May Have Negative Impact On 32-bit Systems
Code now merged for the Linux 7.1 kernel may provide some negative performance implications for those still running modern Linux kernels on 32-bit hardware. A fundamental change can present cache line alignment and slab sizing implications for 32-bit Linux OS users but will provide for cleaner code with modern 64-bit computing...

📰 The Linux kernel now allows AI-written code, but you're on the hook for it
In a world where AI code is entrenched within people's workflows, developers of all walks of life have had to draw a line somewhere. Some places will outright ban AI code, while others will fully embrace it, and each side has its advantages and disadvantages. Well, it turns out that the world of Linux has finally agreed upon where AI code fits within kernel development. Turns out, it's totally fine if you submit AI-generated code to the kernel;...

📰After one of its choppiest preview cycles in years, Linux 7.0 is almost ready
Linux 7.0's kernel hasn't had the best of release candidate phases. From the get-go, the release candidates showed more commit activity than usual, which sounds like it should be a good thing, but it really isn't. The release candidates aren't where new features get added; it's where features that have been added undergo testing. Therefore, the more activity a build has, the buggier it is.

📰 Linux 2026 "Spring Cleaning" To Address Some Code Remnants As Far Back As Linux v0.1
A big kernel patch series was posted today by longtime Linux developer Thomas Gleixner. The set of 38 patches amount to some big time "spring cleaning" with addressing some code remnants still around that originated back in the very early Linux v0.1 kernel while some other code being cleaned up dates back to the Linux 1.3~2.1 kernel series from the 90's...
