The File Struct Is Smaller In Linux 6.12 - May Help File Heavy Workloads
16 September 2024 - Optimizing File Struct

The file structure is one of the most widely-used data structures by Linux kernel drivers. The file struct represents an open file and thus obviously very important and ubiquitous throughout the kernel. With the Linux 6.12 kernel the file struct has been adjusted so it's smaller than before and in turn could help with performance for file-heavy workloads.

Patch Proposed For Adding x86_64 Feature Levels To The Kernel - But It's Likely D.O.A.
17 September 2024 - x86_64 Microarchitecture Feature Levels

A patch was sent out on Sunday for adding new Linux kernel configuration options for tuning the kernel build to different x86_64 micro-architecture feature levels. The intent is on generating kernel builds that are faster for use on modern Intel and AMD systems. However, this patch is likely to not be accepted in the mainline kernel and has already been criticized upstream Linux kernel developers.
