26/07/11 ⇒ Linux 7.2-rc3 Bringing Display Detection Improvement To Help Some Multi-GPU Systems Sent out today was this week's round of x86 (x86_64) fixes ahead of the Linux 7.2-rc3 kernel test candidate due out on Sunday. The x86 fixes for Linux 7.2-rc3 are mostly some minor fixes but one that does stand out is fixing the x86 VGA display fallback logic during the Linux boot process on some multi-GPU systems. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.3-rc3-Multi-GPU-Fix 26/07/12 ⇒ Linux 7.2-rc3 Bringing Fixes For The SEGA Dreamcast Drivers In 2026 It wasn't on my bingo card for the week but merged to Git ahead of today's Linux 7.2-rc3 kernel release are a number of fixes for the SEGA Dreamcast drivers. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.2-rc3-SEGA-Dreamcast ⇒ Linux 7.2 Enabling UltraRISC RISC-V Support In The Default Kernel Build Similar to Linux 7.2 enabling Eswin SoC support by default in the RISC-V "defconfig" kernel build, UltraRISC RISC-V coverage is also now being enabled by default for RISC-V kernel builds in Linux 7.2. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.2-UltraRISC-RISC-V ⇒ Linux 7.2-rc3 Released: Close To The "New Normal" Linux 7.2-rc3 is now available for testing in working toward the stable Linux 7.2 kernel version coming up in August. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.2-rc3-Released

26/07/10 ⇒ Linux 7.3 Enabling Second Graphics Pipe For Modern AMD APUs AMD on Thursday sent out another round of AMDGPU kernel graphics driver and AMDKFD kernel compute driver updates to DRM-Next of new feature material ahead of the Linux 7.3 merge window. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.3-Second-Pipe-GFX11-APU 26/07/12 ⇒ 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. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Rework-Sysclal-Entry-Linux-7.3

Linus? Polished? Business like? I mean, he isn't Theo, but he has..... a way with people.

I'm revisiting amd64 assembly programming and came across this [1] great post on nasm programming on Linux. Sharing this in case anyone else is looking for information on the topic. [1] https://linuxvox.com/blog/basic-yet-thorough-assembly-tutorial-linux/

(06/15) ⇒ Linux Kernel 7.1 is a Feature Release That Could Be Useful For You Don't let the .1 fool you, this release has plenty to offer. https://itsfoss.com/news/linux-kernel-7-1-release/ ⇒ GNU Linux-libre 7.1-gnu Released With More Driver Deblobbing, Unhappy With i486 Removal Following yesterday's release of the upstream Linux 7.1 kernel release, GNU Linux-libre 7.1 is out with its new build for de-blobbing various drivers from loading non-free-software microcode/firmware and other sanitizing of the kernel code in the name of software freedom. https://www.phoronix.com/news/GNU-Linux-Libre-7.1

… Let's move on. It's still quite newsworthy; Cody Franklin used the phrase "recently". Until yesterday, I never heard anyone from TrueNAS or IXsystems talk about the transition. I learnt something new.

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.
