Linus Torvalds Growing Frustrated By Buggy Hardware & Theoretical CPU Attacks
21 October 2024 - Frustrated Torvalds
Over the past week Linux creator Linus Torvalds has been active on a Linux kernel mailing list thread around avoiding barrier_nospec() in copy_from_user() due to being "overkill and painfully slow." The conversation evolved into low-level discussions over CPU behavior and how to best handle, differing behavior/requirements with new Intel CPUs supporting Linear Address Masking (LAM), and the overall headaches these days around CPU security mitigations.

Prepare your Pixels, because Android 15 QPR1 Beta 3 is imminent!
Build ID is AP41.240925.009.
Edit: I'm mashing F5 just as much as y'all are. I'm afraid I have no idea exactly when Google will roll out Android 15 QPR1 Beta 3 to Pixel devices. I said what I said because Google has already published the GSIs for Beta 3 - those usually drop an hour before the Pixel update. The Pixel update could still be today or it could be tomorrow, I don't know!
Build ID is AP41.240925.009.
