Linux 6.12 was released on Sunday, 17 Nov 2024 .

Summary: This release includes realtime support (PREEMPT_RT), a feature that has been in the works for 20 years. It also includes complete support for the EEVDF task scheduler; the ability to write task scheduling algorithms using BPF; support for printing a QR code on panic screens with debug information; support for zero-copy receive TCP payloads to a DMABUF region of memory while packet headers land separately in normal kernel buffers; a new linux security modules that enforces that binaries must come from integrity-protected storage; support for Memory Protection Keys in ARM; and XFS support for block sizes larger than a memory page. As always, there are many other features, new drivers, improvements and fixes.

1. Prominent features

1.1. Real Time support

After 20 years of work, the real-time patchset has been merged in mainline Linux. It is possible now to configure a Linux build to compile a kernel with realtime capabilities.

The idea behind realtime is to make as much kernel code fully preemptible as possible, which provides lower latencies (possibly at the expense of throughput).

During these two decades, the people working on the RT patchset had to write and rewrite a lot of code in order to support the realtime capabilities better. Most of that work turned out to be good for mainline aswell, and many features that have been incorporated into Linux during all this time had the RT patchset as origin, even if they didn't look like it. The final step, the rewrite of printk(), has been merged in this release and, as result, compiling Linux with the RT configuration enable is now possible.

1.2. Complete the EEVDF task scheduler

In Linux 6.6, Linux incorporated a new scheduling algorithm called EEVDF ("Earliest Eligible Virtual Deadline First"), which replaces the existing CFS algorithm. This replacement has been gradual. This release completes the EEVDF transition and refine EEVDF scheduling.

Documentation: EEVDF Scheduler

1.3. BPF based task scheduling algorithms with sched_ext

Task scheduling algorithms are a complex topic, and experimentation or even personalization can provide great improvements. This release includes the first pieces of sched_ext, a feature that enables to write task scheduler algorithms in BPF, which provides a much faster development iteration and enables personalization of task scheduling

Documentation:

- Extensible Scheduler Class
- sched_ext overview

1.4. QR codes on panic screens

Panic information is often hard to turn into text. This release adds an optional new panic screen, with a QR code and the kernel buffer (dmesg) data embedded. The kmsg data will be compressed with zlib and encoded as a numerical segment, and appended to the URL as a URL parameter. This allows to save space, and put about ~7500 bytes of kmsg data, in a V40 QR code. Linux distributions can customize the URL, and put a web frontend to directly open a bug report with the kmsg data.

1.5. Device Memory TCP for faster network device transfers

Device Memory TCP (devmem TCP) provides the ability to zero-copy receive TCP payloads to a DMABUF region of memory while packet headers land separately in normal kernel buffers

Today, the majority of the Device-to-Device data transfers to the network are implemented as the following low level operations: Device-to-Host copy, Host-to-Host network transfer, and Host-to-Device copy. The implementation is suboptimal, especially for bulk data transfers, and can put significant strains on system resources, such as host memory bandwidth, PCIe bandwidth, etc. One important reason behind the current state is the kernel’s lack of semantics to express device to network transfers.

Device Memory TCP (devmem TCP) attempts to optimize this use case by implementing socket APIs that enable the user to: 1. send device memory across the network directly, and 2. receive incoming network packets directly into device memory.

1.6. Integrity Policy Enforcement to restrict execution to trusted binaries

Integrity Policy Enforcement is a new Linux security module that allows to restrict execution to only those binaries which come from integrity protected storage, e.g. fs-verity, dm-verity, or even initramfs.

Documentation: Integrity Policy Enforcement

1.7. perf ftrace profile, for better profiling

This release adds a 'perf ftrace profile' command to the perf tool that get function execution profiles using function-graph tracer so that users can see the total, average, max execution time as well as the number of invocations easily. The following is a profile for the perf_event_open syscall.

  $ sudo perf ftrace profile -G __x64_sys_perf_event_open -- \
    perf stat -e cycles -C1 true 2> /dev/null | head
  # Total (us)   Avg (us)   Max (us)      Count   Function

1.8. ARM Permission Overlay Extension to support Memory Protection Keys

This release implements ARM support for Permission Overlay Extension, which allows to constrain permissions on memory regions. This can be used from userspace (EL0) without a system call or TLB invalidation. POE is used to implement the Memory Protection Keys syscall.

1.9. XFS support for block sizes larger than page size

This release adds VFS support for having block sizes larger than the page size (with XFS being the first filesystem that supports it)

1.10. Smaller struct file

struct file, the data structure used to keep information about an open file in Linux, has been reduced from 232 bytes to 184 bytes (3 cachelines)

2. Core (various)

(FEATURED) Allow to enable PREEMPT_RT commit, commit, commit
Add F_CREATED_QUERY fcntl() that allows to query whether a file was actually created. Often userspace wants to know whether an O_CREATE request did actually create a file without using O_EXCL commit, commit
cgroup/cpuset: Account for boot time isolated CPUs commit, commit
(FEATURED) Smaller (and better laid out) struct file
- Pack struct file commit
- Reclaim 24 bytes from f_owner commit
- Switch f_iocb_flags and f_ra commit
- Remove f_version commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
inode: turn i_state into u32 commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
try an opportunistic lookup for O_CREAT opens too commit, commit, commit
io_uring
- Allow applications to issue async discards, rather than rely on the blocking sync ioctl discards we already have. The sync support is difficult to use outside of idle/cleanup periods commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
- Add support for incremental buffer consumption. Right now each operation will always consume a full buffer. With incremental consumption, a recv/read operation only consumes the part of the buffer that it needs to satisfy the operation commit
- rsrc: coalescing multi-hugepage registered buffers commit, commit
- Add GCOV_PROFILE_URING Kconfig option commit
- Provide more efficient buffer registration commit, commit, commit, commit
- Clockid and absolute mode CQ wait timeouts commit, commit, commit, commit
- Add napi busy settings to the fdinfo output commit
- Support for a minwait mode, where the application essentially has two timouts - one smaller one that defines the batch timeout, and the overall large one similar to what we had before. This enables efficient use of batching based on count + timeout, while still working well with periods of less intensive workloads commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
Console work (to support RT)
- wire up write_atomic() printing commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
- console: 1) implement dedicated printing threads per nbcon console 2) implement "threadprintk" boot argument to force threading of legacy consoles 3) implement nbcon support for proc and sysfs console-related files commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
RCU torture-test updates commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
Task scheduler
- (FEATURED) SCHED_DEADLINE server infrastructure. SCHED_DEADLINE servers can help fixing starvation issues of low priority tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER) when higher priority tasks monopolize CPU cycles. Today we have RT Throttling; DEADLINE servers should be able to replace and improve that commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
- (FEATURED) Complete EEVDF transition and refine EEVDF scheduling commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
- (FEATURED) Prepare for sched_ext commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
- (FEATURED) Implement BPF extensible scheduler class commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
- Introduce SM_IDLE and an idle re-entry fast-path in __schedule() commit
- sched_ext: Add cgroup support commit, commit, commit, commit, commit
