⇒ Reworked System Call Entry Handling Slated For Linux 7.3

Stemming from looking at a proposed Linux kernel patch to alter the Linux kernel's system call number handling, veteran Linux kernel developer Thomas Gleixner went down a rabbit hole of the kernel's system call entry handling to make a number of clean-ups and improvements to the code. That rework to the system call entry handling is now expected to land for the Linux 7.3 kernel cycle.

Vaughan-Nichols, 2026-03-26) – interview
Greg Kroah-Hartman can't explain the inflection point, but it's not slowing down or going away

… "Something happened a month ago, and the world switched. Now we have real reports." It's not just Linux, he continued. …


Two weeks later from SJVN:
Project Glasswing and open source software: The good, the bad, and the ugly – opinion
Just what FOSS developers need – a flood of AI-discovered vulnerabilities
He quotes David Wheeler, director of Open Source Supply Chain Security at the Linux Foundation (LF), which supports Glasswing:

… "Is there a risk of lock-in? Yes, that's always a risk. That said, I don't think the risk is as bad and we're working on ways to address this. …
"… the new open source software cyber reasoning system (OSS-CRS) emerged from AIxCC and is a standard orchestration framework for building and running LLM-based autonomous bug-finding and bug-fixing systems."

The second part was new to me.
AIxCC: AI Cyber Challenge | DARPA

Launched in 2023, the Artificial Intelligence Cyber Challenge (AIxCC) is a two-year competition that brings together the best and brightest in AI and cybersecurity to safeguard the software critical to all Americans. …

In the penultimate paragraph, SJVN agrees with the CFO of the Linux Foundation. There's real urgency.

There are a few distros like FuguIta , an OpenBSD-based live image. FreeBSD and NetBSD-based live images also exist but BSD distros aren't as numerous or as long-lived as linux so you'll have to check whether they are up-to-date.
