Perf Support For 2,048 CPU Cores Is Becoming Not Enough - Patches Bump Kernel Limit
10 December 2024 - 4,096 CPUs

Currently the Linux kernel's "perf" performance monitoring subsystem has a limit on 2,048 CPU cores for its CPU map that is set by the MAX_NR_CPUS value. But that's becoming not enough in today's high core count era that patches are looking to raise it to a 4,096 CPU core limit by default.

New Linux Patch Establishes "CONFIG_X86_64_NATIVE" For -march=native Kernel Builds
10 December 2024 - Optimized Kernel Builds

Last week I wrote about Linux patches cleaning up x86 32-bit kernel builds for x86_64 CPUs. The new iteration of those patches were sent out today, including the addition of a patch adding the CONFIG_X86_64_NATIVE Kconfig tunable for enabling "-march=native" kernel builds to cater your optimized kernel compilation for the CPU on which you are building the kernel.

NTSYNC Linux Driver Updated With API Design Improvements
14 December 2024 - NTSYNC v7

After some six months of silence, this past week the NTSYNC LInux kernel driver patches were revived for completing this open-source driver to better match the Windows NT synchronization primitives to help with Wine / Proton (Steam Play) Windows gaming performance on Linux. Following those "v6" patches posted a few days ago, on Friday evening a seventh iteration of the patches were volleyed to offer up some API design improvements for this NTSYNC driver.

Changelog & Note:
- Too long, see Github Releases page.

About KernelSU:
- Select through the volume keys during the installation process to install the kernel that supports KernelSU.
- If the installer detects that you have installed KernelSU through LKM, there will be no option to ask you whether to select KernelSU.
- Install the KernelSU app v1.0.2 for use with KernelSU.
- We don't recommend using Magisk and KernelSU at the same time. If any problems occur, it's your own responsibility!

Linux 6.14 To Introduce New DRM Boot Logger For Kernel Messages
16 December 2024 - drm_log

Sent out today was the latest drm-misc-next pull request of various Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) changes queuing up ahead of the Linux 6.14 kernel cycle. Most exciting this week is the DRM boot logger being queued for landing to better present kernel messages.

Google clang 20.0.0编译的android12-5.10 GKI在加载设备的某些stock内核模块（指Google clang 12.0.5编译的）后会panic：

事实上这个问题从LLVM 19.1.1 19.1.0开始就已经存在。

咱也别指望LLVM上游“修复”，因为让新版本clang编译的内核去加载旧版本clang编译的内核模块这件事本身就不正确。

目前有三种解决方法：
1. ANDROID: Disable BTI/PAC configs，但是会破坏KMI
2. [HACK] ANDROID: Allows skipping of CFI checks，然后启用CONFIG_CFI_FORCE_SKIP_CHECK
3. 将所有stock内核模块改用新版本clang重新编译，或者将所有内核模块编译进内核image（你确定？）
