With the release of Linux 7.0, Rust is no longer considered experimental. New and safer components are expected to be written in Rust in the near future. However, the Linux kernel still contains more than 35 million lines of code written in C. This code will remain critical for years to come and, for the benefit of everyone, must continue to be maintained, improved, and hardened where possible. ...

You probably heard that SBOMs are helpful, but did you know that an SBOM only addresses a fraction of what can go wrong in your software supply chain? The SLSA (Supply Chain Levels for Software Artifacts) specification identifies 9 distinct threat areas, spanning from source code, all the way to package distribution.

AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex learn libraries via SKILL.md files, but these skills are currently unversioned, ungoverned, and unshared. We solved code dependency management with pip and npm — now it's time to solve it for AI knowledge. This talk presents an open-source, package-manager-style system for agent skills. Skills are linked to their packages, versioned with semver,...

Flexible Paging in Linux: Per-process Page Size - Dev Jain, Arm Ltd
Tuesday August 11, 2026 16:35 - 17:05 KST
Orchid 1
Applications often run faster on a 64K page size kernel than on 4K. This is because larger pages reduce TLB pressure and pagetable walk overhead, greatly improving memory access speed. But, sysadmins are hesitant to use a 16K/64K kernel as most applications have been historically tuned for 4K pages, and larger pages can increase memory waste due to internal fragmentation. This creates a tradeoff...
