Kexec HandOver "KHO" Looks Like It Might Be Ready For The Linux 6.16 Kernel
14 April 2025 - Kexec Handover

Being worked on for a while now by engineers from Amazon, Microsoft, and Google has been Kexec HandOver "KHO" as a means of allowing some kernel state to be retained when Kexec'ing into a new kernel such as for maintenance/security updates. The KHO patches in recent days were queued up into Andrew Morton's "MM" staging area leading to hope that this work is ready for mainlining with the Linux 6.16 kernel cycle this summer.

请注意，v3.8版本在zram内核模块的相关选项上与前几个版本有变化。
以前是选Yes用小米预编译的zram内核模块，选No则用开源的。
在v3.8改为选Yes用开源的zram内核模块，选No则用小米预编译的。
请按照提示文本自行决定。如果你不了解，请选择No（使用小米预编译的zram内核模块），对于绝大部分用户来说都建议选择No。

那么，什么情况下应选择Yes（使用开源的zram内核模块）呢？
选择开源的zram内核模块意味着放弃了小米针对MIUI/HyperOS所做的一些zram特殊优化。如果你想完全自定义zram的各项配置，并且不想使用MIUI/HyperOS的内存扩展功能，可以考虑选择使用。
而对于除MIUI/HyperOS以外的所有rom，理论上你不会看到这个选项，均强制使用开源的zram内核模块。

Slightly Faster AES-XTS Performance For AVX-512 CPUs Expected With Linux 6.16
18 April 2025 - Speedier AES-XTS With AVX-512

In recent kernel releases there have been performance enhancements to the AES implementations and other cryptographic subsystem code for speeding up the performance on modern Intel and AMD processors. With Linux 6.16 there will be at least some additional small gains to find with Intel and AMD processors bearing AVX-512 when employing AES-XTS.
