📰 Linux Kernel Begins Phasing Out the crypto_rng Layer to Simplify Random Number Generation

by George WhittakerLinux kernel developers are moving forward with plans to remove the crypto_rng API layer, a long-standing component of the kernel's cryptographic subsystem. The proposed change is part of a broader effort to simplify the kernel's internal architecture by eliminating redundant code paths and encouraging developers to rely on the kernel's modern random number generation interfaces instead.

📰 Desktop Linux apps on Android proved my phone's biggest bottleneck isn't what I thought

Running desktop Linux apps on an Android phone sounds like the sort of thing that should fall apart almost immediately. You are dealing with a small screen, awkward touch controls, and an operating system that was never designed to work like a desktop operating system. Yet after using Termux and running Debian through Linux Deploy, I found that the display was not the biggest problem.

‍Mettle 0.15.0 и 0.15.1

31 июля состоялись выпуски 0.15.0 и 0.15.1 Mettle — языка системного программирования со статической типизацией:


Нативная поддержка x86-64 (+ AVX2), AArch64, NVIDIA PTX, SPIR-V (OpenCL 2.0).


Собственный линкер Windows PE.


Собственный отладчик на уровне исходного кода:

Без внешних форматов.
Точки останова, пошаговая отладка, а также чтение и запись переменных в реальном времени через --debug-hooks.
Без gdb, PDB и DWARF.



Бэкенд CUDA.


Без LLVM, виртуальной машины и рантайма.


Выполнение на этапе компиляции: функции с атрибутом @test запускаются в интерпретаторе компилятора командой mettle test, без создания бинарного файла. Команда mettle trace интерпретирует одну функцию и выводит построчное отслеживание значений. Команда --pgo интерпретирует функцию main() на этапе сборки и передаёт измеренные частоты вызовов обратно в оптимизатор.


Проверка заимствований (borrow checker):


ОписаниеПримерАналог Rust


Use-after-free (direct)free(p); p[0]ownership / Drop
Double freefree(p); free(p)ownership
Use-after-free through an aliasq = p; free(q); p[0]move semantics
Use-after-free across a call (inferred)consume(p); p[0] where consume frees pmove semantics
Borrow outliving its stack scope{ var x; g = &x[0]; } use(g)lifetimes ('a)
Interior pointer after reallocq = &buf[i]; realloc(buf,..); q[0]iterator invalidation
Interior pointer after freeq = &buf[i]; free(buf); q[0]dangling reference
Returning the address of a stack localreturn &localfn() -> &T lifetime error
Leak (no owner on any path)var p = malloc(n); return 0(Rust frees via Drop)




Компилятор основан на библиотеке libmtlc:

Собственный промежуточный язык (IR).
Классические и GNN оптимизаторы кода.
Нативная генерация кода (x86-64 (+ AVX2), AArch64, NVIDIA PTX, SPIR-V (OpenCL 2.0)).
Нативная компоновка.

Проекты написаны кейптаунским программистом suidvandiewereld на языке C (стандарт C99) и распространяются по лицензии Apache-2.0.
