Welcome to the LWN.net Weekly Edition for May 27, 2021

• Turmoil at the freenode IRC network: an apparently hostile takeover at freenode causes many community projects to flee.
• Why RISC-V doesn't (yet) support KVM: the RISC-V KVM implementation appears to be ready, but has encountered roadblocks getting into the mainline kernel.
• Control-flow integrity in 5.13: a new security feature in the next kernel release.
• Multi-generational LRU: the next generation: this complex memory-management patch set continues to evolve.
• Julia 1.6 addresses latency issues: changes made to the Julia runtime to reduce the "time to first plot" problem.

This week's edition also includes these inner pages:

• Brief items: Brief news items from throughout the community.
• Announcements: Newsletters, conferences, security updates, patches, and more.

Please enjoy this week's edition, and, as always, thank you for supporting LWN.net.
