Linux Gaining SMP Support For The OpenPOWER Microwatt
3 March 2025 - Multiple Cores

Open-sourced back in 2019 was the OpenPOWER Microwatt as an open-source, soft processor core of Power ISA 3.0 and intended for use on FPGA boards and then there was seemingly short-lived work to fabricate a Microwatt chip and Microwatt also found its way for use within a BMC implementation. Linux 5.14 added support for this soft CPU core while the upcoming Linux 6.15 cycle is set to introduce SMP support for Microwatt.

Some kernel developers noticed that the melt-rebase-4LazyGoogle branch of Melt Kernel merged v5.10.235-rc1. This branch had a problem that caused kernel panic on shutdown or reboot of the device. I actually discovered the problem quite early on; I just noticed that the device took too long to reboot (10-20 seconds), but I didn't expect it to be a kernel panic😅. Now the problem has been fixed.

每个Miku粉的入坑曲都不尽相同，我的话是这一首：ライン
在那个华语乐坛唱来唱去都是情情爱爱的时代（好像一直以来都是如此），是这首曲子给了我耳前一亮的感觉。好怀念那个在某度音乐的网页能直接下载mp3的时代，好怀念那个智能手机尚未普及听音乐只能用MP3播放器的时代。
喜欢一首音乐，有时是因为能引起共鸣的歌词，有时是因为一听就喜欢上的旋律，我更倾向于后者。
感谢Miku，是Miku让我那枯燥无味的高中时代不再是黯淡无光，是Miku在我每次人生低谷的时刻给我继续向前的力量。

Linux Patch Posted For Syncing The Kernel Code With Zstd 1.5.7
13 March 2025 - Zstd 1.5.7 For The Linux Kernel

The Zstandard (Zstd) compression code sadly hasn't been regularly synced with the latest upstream Linux kernel sources but a patch posted this evening goes ahead and syncs the in-kernel Zstd code against the Zstd 1.5.7 state.

Mediatek DRM Driver Adding MT8365 "Genio 350" Support In Linux 6.15
14 March 2025 - Mediatek MT8365

On top of the big features for the Intel graphics driver code and new AMD hardware support coming for Linux 6.15 along with the initial NOVA driver stub, the smaller Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) drivers have also been lining up their changes for this next kernel version. With the Mediatek DRM driver for Linux 6.15 it's set to add MT8365 SoC support, perhaps better known as the Genio 350.
