3/ There as usual was not even a hint in the release announcement that these new #Linux #kernel releases were fixing any vulnerabilities, just the standard "All users of the […] series must upgrade." advice.
If that's news to you, you might want to read kroah.com/log/blog/2018/02/0…

Reminder for #Linux developers:
Use a "Cc: stable@..." tag in changes you want to see backported to stable and longterm #kernel series, as a "Fixes" tag is not enough (but nevertheless might do the trick).
For details see this #lkml msg from @gregkh: lore.kernel.org/lkml/YwZmu1Z…

"[…] the #Linux #kernel community almost never declares specific changes as “security fixes” […] many bugfixes are only determined to be security related after much time […] keep users from getting a false sense of security […]"

Our first KernelCI hackfest has shown how new contributors can quickly reach some results and extend automated testing for the upstream Linux kernel:

#Linux 5.10 will be one of those #Longterm #kernel that gets six years of support instead of the regular two. This can be seen now on kernel.org/releases.html as @gregkh just "bumped the date up a bit" (git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/…)

```[…] please spread that talk around. Maybe then will we actually get funding and support to FIX the [#Linux #Kernel] bugs that those tools test […]```
@gregkh wrote that today on #LKML (lore.kernel.org/lkml/YH5tAqL… ) and I think he's spot on there. Hence, … (1/3)

Don't miss out on listening to @JuliaLawall talk about Coccinelle and how you can use it to run static analysis on the Kernel code base to find problems and generate patches for them. @linuxfoundation #Linux #kernel

many are saying this is a masterpiece. a lady stopped me in the street yesterday and said "are you the one who wrote [PATCH bpf-next v3 00/14] Atomics for eBPF? i want to thank you for your wonderful creation"
Just posted a second version of the patchset adding atomic instructions to eBPF

Posting kernel patches is intimidating but this was some really fun hacking

Every tl;dr I came up with felt like a spoiler, so I won't introduce this at all, and instead just say, "Go read this, it is so delightfully painful." ;) Here's "Off by Two", a kernel and compiler debugging war-story from Nick Desaulniers: nickdesaulniers.github.io/bl…

Living in the EU and need funds to realize something in the world of Open Source? Then this effort might be able to get you started. Someone involved told me they are very interested in individuals or entities that want to improve something in the scope of the #Linux #kernel.
Today’s a special day! 😃
