DRM Panic "Screen of Death" To Gain Monochrome Logo Support In Linux 6.11
28 June 2024 - Monochrome Logo Support

The DRM Panic handler in Linux 6.10 that is used for presenting a visual error message in case of kernel panics and similar when CONFIG_VT is disabled continues seeing new features. This is the Linux equivalent to Windows' Blue Screen of Death or in the case of DRM Panic can also be a black screen of death. With Linux 6.11, the DRM Panic display can now handle monochrome logos.

前几天心血来潮又通关了一遍《密特罗德 生存恐惧》（其实是为了收集全画廊，之前已普通难度100%收集通关、困难难度4小时内通关，由于没有普通难度4小时内通关的存档所以画廊少两张），结果之后老任给我发了封邮件，送了我几张壁纸。🤔

Meta Sees ~5% Performance Gains To Optimizing The Linux Kernel With BOLT
3 July 2024 - Linux Kernel + BOLT

For years Meta/Facebook has been exploring using BOLT with the Linux kernel to optimize the layout of the Linux kernel binary. Since BOLT was upstreamed into LLVM, they've continued work around BOLT'ing the kernel. There is now a public guide for carrying out a BOLT-optimized Linux kernel build and roughly 5% better system performance to expect from such an optimized kernel.

Linux's DRM Panic "Screen of Death" Sees Patches For QR Code Error Messages
3 July 2024 - DRM Panic + QR Codes

Linux 6.10 introduces DRM Panic for providing a new panic screen in case of kernel errors and situations where the VT support may be disabled. This new kernel functionality is akin to Windows' Blue Screen of Death or thanks to open-source can be adapted to take on other forms such as a black screen of death and conveying monochrome logos rather than ASCII art. New patches provide for the ability to show QR codes of error messages within the DRM Panic screens.

Linux Looking To Make 5-Level Paging Support Unconditional For x86_64 Kernel Builds
4 July 2024 - 5-Level Paging On AMD / Intel

It's been nearly one decade since Intel began working on 5-level paging support for the Linux kernel to allow for greater virtual and physical address space with expanding memory sizes. The 5-level paging kernel-side bits were upstreamed back in Linux 4.12 in 2017 and enabled by default since 2019 with Linux 5.5. Intel CPUs for a while (since Ice Lake) have supported 5-level paging and AMD CPUs too since Zen 4. The Linux kernel may move to unconditionally enabling 5-level paging support for x86_64 kernel builds.
