HQspinlock Proposal For Linux Shows Very Nice Performance Benefits For Large Servers
28 November 2025 - HQ Spinlock

A Huawei engineer has sent out patches proposing HQspinlock as a Hierarchical Queued NUMA-aware spinlock for the Linux kernel. HQspinlock aims to addresss inefficiencies within the Linux kernel's spinlock on modern NUMA-systems due to frequent and costly cross-NUMA cache-line transfers.

KernelSU Update
2025-11-29
#KernelSU

Release tag:
v3.0.0

Assets:
There are too many, see here

Download apk:
KernelSU_v3.0.0_32179-release.apk (7.5 MB)

Starting with version 3.0.0, KernelSU officially dropped support for GKI image mode and only recommends users install via LKM. If KernelSU is installed via GKI mode, the app will display a warning: "GKI mode is only for testing environments and is not recommended for daily use."
This is an excellent decision, and as a kernel developer, I wholeheartedly support it.

从v3.0.0开始，KernelSU官方放弃了对GKI模式的官方支持，只建议用户通过LKM安装。如果是通过GKI模式安装的KernelSU，app界面会显示“GKI模式仅用于测试环境，不建议用于日常使用”的警告。
非常好决定，本内核开发者举双手双脚赞成。

Features Expected For Linux 6.19: ASUS Armoury, Many Intel Bits, AMD GCN 1.0/1.1 Enhanced
30 November 2025 - Linux 6.19 Features Early Look

With the Linux 6.18 kernel likely being released later today, here is a look at some of the features on the table for the next kernel cycle, Linux 6.19. The list is based on changes queued in various "-next" branches ahead of the Linux 6.19 merge window. There's always the possibility of last minute change of plans or objections raised by Linus Torvalds, but this should provide an early look at some of the features more than likely to be merged for Linux 6.19.

之前提到的magiskboot的bug已得到修复。

把一个假的kernel_dtb附加到kernel镜像后边并不会有什么问题，但这个假的kernel_dtb本身会比较大（有十几MB），所以如果不解决这个问题的话，多刷几次内核包之后，kernel_dtb会像套娃一样越叠越大，最后超过boot分区大小上限，然后就。。。
