Much of modern operating system functionality happens in and around the kernel. That’s a problem when you’re implementing monitoring and observability tools or adding low-level security tools because ...

The recently announced proposal to make the Rust programming language one of two main languages for the Linux kernel is getting a major boost thanks to Google and the Internet Security Research Group ...

What just happened? Rust will soon be part of Linux, Torvalds has decided. The memory safe programming language will join C and the other traditional languages developers use to create new pieces and ...

There is gathering momentum around the idea of adding Rust to the Linux kernel. Why exactly is that a big deal, and what does this mean for the rest of us? The Linux kernel has been just C and ...

Rust is becoming equal to assembler and C in programming the Linux kernel – at least officially, as there is still a lot of work to be done in practice. Rust is set to shed its "experimental phase" ...

When you write programs in user space, the worst thing that can happen to your program is a core dump. Your program did something very wrong, so the operating system decided to give you all of its ...

How much do you know about your kernel? Like really know? Considering how critically important the Linux kernel is to the world—and, perhaps just as important, to our own personal computers and ...
