[$] Using large folios for text areas
Quite a bit of work has been done in recent years to allow the kernel to
make more use of large folios. That progress has not yet reached the
handling of text (executable code) areas, though. During the

Memory-Management, and BPF Summit, Ryan Roberts ran a session on how that
situation might be improved. It would be a relatively small and contained
operation, but can give a measurable performance improvement. ⌘ Read more

10 Political Terms With Curious Origins
The words we use in the context of politics reveal much of the history of how humans have attempted to govern themselves.

The very word “politics” comes from the Greek polities, meaning “city, citizen.” The Romans gave us […]

Hirschhorn also offers a nice old town. The castle with all its many buildings up the mountain is very beautiful. This is my absolutely favorite one, it just looks soo great:
Walking back down the narrow stairs with all the crooked, well-worn steps of different heights and lengths was quite challenging.

[$] Page allocation for address-space isolation
Address-space isolation may well be, as Brendan Jackman said at the
beginning of his memory-management-track session at the 2025 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit, “some security
bullshit”. But it also holds the potential to protect the kernel from
a wide range of vulnerabilities, both known and unknown, while reducing the
impact of existing mitigations. Implementing address-space isolation with
reasonable performance, though, is going to require some signific … ⌘ Read more
[$] Better hugetlb page-table walking
The kernel must often step through the page tables of one or more processes
to carry out various operations. This “page-table walking” tends to be
performed by ad-hoc (duplicated) code all over the kernel. Oscar Salvador
used a memory-management-track session at the 2025 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit to talk about strategies to
unify the kernel’s page-table walking code just a little bit by making
hugetlb pages look more like ordinary pages. ⌘ Read more

XMPP Interop Testing: Enabling Tests
Our project creates a framework that allows anyone to easily add XMPP standards compliance tests to the test phase of
their build pipeline. Prior to our most recent release (version 1.5.0) a test execution would basically run all tests
in the test suite. We provided an option to exclude certain tests, but in essence, the bulk of tests would execute.
This behavior is generally preferable when testing an XMPP server implementation. A benefit of exclusion-based
