Linux 6.15 & Early Linux 6.16 Delivering Some Additional Gains For AMD Strix Halo
5 June 2025 - Linux Kernel Benchmarks
As some extra benchmarks to put out today for the Phoronix.com 21st birthday, there is some additional data points to share on AMD Strix Halo when using Linux 6.15 stable and the early development state of Linux 6.16 Git ahead of its v6.16-rc1 tagging this weekend. The Linux kernel performance is moving in the right direction at least with this round of testing using the HP ZBook Ultra G1a with Ryzen AI Max+ PRO SoC.

vendor_dlkm_erofs_2_ext4.zip
用于将vendor_dlkm分区在erofs和ext4之间互相转换。在recovery刷入,或者在支持刷入内核的app中刷入。
从ext4转换到erofs时,尽量不调整vendor_dlkm分区大小,因为erofs的镜像大小总是小于ext4的。
从erofs转换到ext4时,新的ext4镜像总是128MB(足够了)。
如果你不知道为什么要安装它,就不要安装它。
Used to convert vendor_dlkm partition between erofs and ext4. Flash it in recovery, or flash it in an app that supports flashing the kernel.
When converting from ext4 to erofs, try not to adjust the size of the vendor_dlkm partition, because the image size of erofs is always smaller than that of ext4.
When converting from erofs to ext4, the new ext4 image is always 128MB (which is more than enough).
If you don't know why you're installing it, do not install it.

AMD's Kernel Compute Driver "AMDKFD" Can Now Be Enabled On RISC-V
6 June 2025 - AMDKFD On RISC-V
Following all of the Linux kernel graphics driver features merged last week for the Linux 6.16 kernel, sent out this morning were the initial batch of fixes to the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) code. Besides fixes to these graphics / display / accelerator drivers, there is one new feature: the AMDKFD kernel compute driver can now be enabled on RISC-V systems.

Linux 6.16 Introduces New Helper For Restricting Symbols To Select Kernel Modules
7 June 2025 - EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR_MODULES
All of the kernel build system "Kbuild" updates were merged today for the nearly-over Linux 6.16 merge window that is expected to conclude tomorrow with the Linux 6.16-rc1 release. Notable with the Kbuild pull is the introduction of the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FOR_MODULES helper.

Linux GPIB Drivers Maturing Into Good Shape 50+ Years After The Bus Was Introduced
8 June 2025 - Linux GPIB
Notable with the staging area updates for the in-development Linux 6.16 kernel is word that the GPIB driver code may be ready to leave the staging area in the next kernel cycle (Linux v6.17) in then being promoted to the main driver area in signifying the maturity of the code and being cleaned up to meet kernel coding standards. The GPIB drivers are for the General Purpose Interface Bus that was introduced back in 1972.

Glow Kernel v3.9 for marble/marblein By Asshole Download Changelog: - Same as Melt-marble-v3.9
From Asshole:
Glow Kernel will add susfs support in a future update.
During the installation process, if you choose to require KernelSU support, you will see a new option asking if you need susfs support.But you can still only use it with the official KernelSU or MKSU.
Providing users with rich and non-forced options is an important feature of Melt Kernel, and Glow Kernel will inherit and continue to develop it.

Why add support for susfs now?
susfs is already widely used and has proven itself to be stable over time (maybe?).
But no matter what, please always take responsibility for your actions.

IO_uring Shows Promising Potential For Linux Accelerator Drivers
10 June 2025 - Lower Overhead
Last year there was some ideas raised around potentially making use of the Linux kernel's IO_uring functionality for graphics drivers to help with better performance and synchronization. It turns out Qualcomm engineers have recently been exploring IO_uring use for the DRM accelerator drivers with very promising results on their Cloud AI hardware in seeing around 50% speed-ups in ioctl execution time.

Linux 6.15.2 Fixes "Quite Dramatically...Potentially Dangerous" Idle Power Regression
10 June 2025 - Linux 6.15.2
Along with releasing Linux 6.14.11 today to end-of-life the Linux 6.14 kernel series, Greg Kroah-Hartman released Linux 6.15.2 as the newest stable point release. There is a notable fix here for the CPU idle power regressing on some systems since moving to Linux 6.15.

Linus Torvalds Rejects The Idea Of Enabling DAMON By Default In The Linux Kernel
11 June 2025 - DAMON
DAMON is a nifty data access monitoring solution for the Linux kernel developed by Amazon and other parties for system monitoring and performance/efficiency optimizations and more. But it's not so ground-breaking that it's worth enabling by default in all Linux kernel builds, Linus Torvalds has decided.
