Welcome to the LWN.net Weekly Edition for October 19, 2023
This edition contains the following feature content:
- Improving C-library scalability with restartable sequences: the rseq() system call is perhaps one of the kernel's more obscure features, but it may be able to improve the scalability of the GNU C Library in a number of ways.
- Recent improvements in GCC diagnostics: better diagrams and more from the GCC analyzer.
- Finer-grained BPF tokens: another try at making it possible to hand out limited BPF capabilities.
- Defining open hardware: what "open hardware" really means.
- The 2023 Image-Based Linux Summit: a detailed report on this effort to rethink how distributions are built.
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
