Welcome to the LWN.net Weekly Edition for October 6, 2022
This edition contains the following feature content:
- NVIDIA and nouveau: what will be the future of the nouveau graphics driver given that NVIDIA has released an open-source driver of its own?
- A call to reconsider address-space isolation: keeping address spaces separate from each other imposes a performance cost that is "a bitter pill" to swallow, but the alternative may yet prove to be worse.
- Hybrid scheduling gets more complicated: modern asymmetric CPUs have cores that differ in more ways than just raw clock speed.
- How to fix an ancient GDB problem: a solution for a 15-year-old GDB bug gets closer.
- Some 6.0 development statistics: where the code (and the bugs) in 6.0 came from.
- A discussion on printk(): how to make the kernel's crucial logging function work well with the constraints of realtime systems.
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.
