(06/12) ⇒ New NTFS Linux Driver Being Improved For Windows Native Symbolic Links One of the exciting additions to the Linux 7.1 kernel is the introduction of the new NTFS file-system kernel driver. While in good shape already and proving advantageous over other NTFS open-source driver options, one of the initial limitations on it is around Windows native symbolic link handling but that is now in the process of being resolved. https://www.phoronix.com/news/NTFS-Windows-Symbolic-Links

(06/10) ⇒ Linux 7.2 To Enable ESWIN SoC Support By Default For RISC-V Kernel Builds An important one-liner is set to come for Linux 7.2 to enable ESWIN SoC support by default for RISC-V kernel builds. This change will allow default RISC-V kernel builds in turn to boot on the likes of SiFive's HiFive Premier P550 developer board. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.2-ESWIN-Default

Linux kernel czar says AI bug reports aren't slop anymore • The Register (Steven J. 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.
