A semi-weekly summary of LKML traffic

Will the kernel podcast return?

[Jon Masters 🏴‍☠️ @jonmasters]

Planning to bring back the @kernelpodcast later this year. I need a mailing list platform:

1. Web based threaded view
2. Ability to (re)group threads
3. Ability to comment on threads and moderate comments, write collective summaries of a thread

Will write this unless it exists?

[Jon Masters @kernelpodcast]

So I said this. I want to figure out how to bring it back. The weight of security issues and other things this year has made that a tough prospect. But I am committed to finding a way this fall!

[Jon Masters @kernelpodcast]

It will return before the fall. Stay tuned! https://t.co/MFnGcLDTPQ

@kernelpodcast in traffic jam, I noticed that I never listened Kernel Podcast on my new phone. Checked the website if new episodes are out.. I guess we have to wait a little longer.

[Fedora Project (@[email protected]) @fedora]

Going to @RedHatSummit?

Fedora is going too! details of what is going on for Fedora users and contributors are over on the magazine

also: one of the places in the Linux kernel that need a garbage collector (because you can build complex reference structures by having pending messages in unix domain sockets that have file descriptors pointing to other unix domain sockets attached): https://t.co/BinfPG2Thw https://t.co/imDUB0lYqn

@jonmasters Whatcha think @lavados ? 😀

[Jeff Underhill @JeffUnderhill]

Check out latest Puppet Enterprise release which adds @Arm support and security updates - more: https://t.co/Zwradq49DF @worksonarm

“Reluctantly-signed-off-by: David Woodhouse” — on learning that the gcc patches for retpoline had a fairly pointless rename of the external thunk. Hehehe

[Jon Masters @kernelpodcast]

@openlabbott You could always branch out into more speculative humor on the subject of spectre before you retire

[Jon Masters @kernelpodcast]

Once this mess subsides, the kernel podcast will return. I guess now you know why it went away.

A more technical writeup on what can be done to address #Meltdown and #Spectre in future CPU designs. If there's interest, I can write a longer version with graphics and so on: https://t.co/6kO3pEG5j7

[Jon Masters 🏴‍☠️ @jonmasters]

The @nytimes used a butler analogy. I still prefer my barista one in our @RedHatNews writeup. But either way, this is an incredibly informed and well written piece for mainstream journalism. Well done NYT. https://t.co/SrdtRy6uag

[Jon Masters 🏴‍☠️ @jonmasters]

Here's a video that we made to explain #Meltdown and #Spectre. I came up with both the coffee shop and restaurant analogies to help non-chip design folks understand the problem in everyday language - Meltdown and Spectre in 3 Minutes https://t.co/nwFn6APUvr from @RedHatNews

[Jon Masters 🏴‍☠️ @jonmasters]

Hopefully this blog post helps explain both #Meltdown and #Spectre . I have been secretly co-leading the @RedHatNews company-wide effort at mitigating these exploits for every affected architecture for some time. https://t.co/IBcQNeuSzh

[Jon Masters @kernelpodcast]

Thanks @Arm family for a wonderful week! ❤️❤️❤️ #ArmServers https://t.co/eJccyN0IWR

[Thomas Molgaard @TMolgaard]

Busy, but great week for Arm in servers https://t.co/TC9kGYlTZJ

[Jon Masters @kernelpodcast]

The #Linux kernel podcast will return with the closing of the Linux 4.15 merge window. Sorry we missed this cycle.

[Adam Langley @agl__]

The other story today is more of the Infineon bug from last week: https://t.co/wdFNkhZZse
