In today's LinuxCon and Cloudopen North American Linux kernel group discussion, Greg Kroah-hartman said: "Linux gamers should thank the kernel developer Andy Lutomirski, His recent work has made 32-bit programs run faster on 64-bit cores. "

"A lot of people think, who cares?" The results show that Valve cares, "Kroah-hartman,linux kernel developer, Linux Foundation researcher. All of their games are still 32-bit applications, but Valve wants them to run on a 64-bit architecture.

"You're just speeding up all the gamers," Kroah-hartman said on the stage, with enthusiastic applause. "You make their machines run faster without knowing." Thank you. “

"You're welcome," said Lutomirski, a relatively new kernel developer.

Kroah-hartman chaired a panel discussion involving Linus Torvalds, the father of Linux, and Andrew Morton, a core developer from Google, Shuah Khan from Samsung and co-founder of AMA Capital Management. Their discussions covered topics ranging from the biggest challenges faced by the kernel community to the hardest mistakes they solved, and everything else. Here are some of the highlights of the discussion. The full discussion will soon be posted on the Linux Foundation's YouTube channel.

1, "I downloaded the 2.2 version of the kernel, but found that Alancaux My network driver logo is obsolete." So, I submitted about a 2,000-line patch and a 5000-line changelog to make it obsolete. "--Andrew Morton spoke of his first patch.

4, "We are trying to expand our interface so that you can safely run the code, in the traditional way you are the root user is absolutely not." "-Lenas Tovoz, talking about the security of namespaces and containers.

5, "I'm too old to fix bugs." My first reaction is, who can I ask to solve this mistake? "-Andrew Morton.

6, "I'm happy that Linux shrinks again ... We are already well aware that the kernel has expanded a lot in the last 20 years .... This is a problem, especially if we want to use embedded devices in the words "-Lenas Tovaz.

7, "A lot of arm stuff is being added, so it will be a challenge in the coming years." Many people will want to take advantage of the drivers built on ACPI and use them in arm space. "-shuah Khan.

8, "Projects like Raspberry Pi are really good at finding some people who use hardware ... Although few of those people will decide to do kernel development, a small part of the world is still a lot of people if you look for it. "-Lenas Tovaz.

9, "I reject an overly complex patch ... the x86 maintainer was amazed at this ... It makes development need to spend more time in a short period ... But it is more effective a long-term strategy. "-andy Lutomirski.

Gregkh: "We run very well." We run around. Where are we going next? We have conquered almost every major industry. “

Lenas Tovaz said: "I still want to conquer the desktop." ”
