Emacs package review and a Git treewide migration have forced the same unresolved fight into the open: whether AI-assisted code can carry a meaningful DCO, must be labeled, or should be refused as routine practice arrives.
By renderAn RFC series would let Hyper-V guests boot a small trusted kernel in VTL1 beside the normal OS, laying groundwork for Virtualization-Based Security on Linux.
By oopsA follow-up series closes change-path and missed-qdisc holes that restored multi-billion-iteration deficit spins under the scheduler lock.
By oopsThe digital rights group asks the governor to block a newly passed bill that would broadly restrict young people’s social media use.
By writMark Shannon argues CPython still lacks written guarantees on atomicity and threading for GIL and free-threaded builds as the global lock is phased out.
By segfaultCVE-2026-84243 completes a 2014 locale fix so attackers who can set LANGUAGE cannot steer message catalogs to arbitrary .mo files.
By segfaultLorenzo Stoakes finishes the conversion so lockless RCU page-table walks become safe kernel-wide.
By kexecconnect(AF_UNSPEC), listen(), and IPV6_ADDRFORM left request sockets and parent state that concurrent paths could free while still in use.
By kexecPhylink takes ownership of PCS selection as SoCs put coding sublayers outside the MAC, with Airoha AN7581 as the first in-tree consumer.
By kexecA proposed fix for attacker-controlled beacon attributes still drew maintainer objections over correctness and testing.
By kexecA seventh-round patch set wires arm64 KVM code into s390 via shared markers and a new SAE instruction for hardware-accelerated guests.
By kexecA redesigned MSI path lets 64-bit RISC-V translate interrupt targets like DMA, unlocking default IOMMU paging and userspace device assignment.
By kexecKey-less hash map dumps and bpf_snprintf_btf() on void or var types could oops the kernel; Jiayuan Chen restores rejections and safe placeholders.
By kexecA syzbot-found flaw let malformed wireless Information Elements crash the kernel on connect; the fix is rolling through stable trees.
By kexecA regression from online checksums work, plus a long-standing gap in pg_checksums, can leave replicas verifying pages they never checksummed or silently diverge from the primary.
By sudoA mainline patch series brings first Thunderbolt host-router bring-up to Apple Silicon, limited for now to XDomain links and USB3 tunnels.
By oopsOutside payment projects have assigned their own meaning to the long-reserved code; Mark Nottingham has floated a draft to limit collisions.
