Building a new OS like Ironclad isn't just a technical feat; it's a battle for ecosystem adoption. The discussion reveals the tension between cutting-edge verification and the practical demands of widespread use and community contribution. #KernelDev 6/6

OS development's complexity isn't just fundamentals; it's the endless details & driver support. Modern x86_64 hardware adds layers of challenges, making solo OS projects like Visopsys an even more impressive feat. #KernelDev 4/5

Other targets: Android kernels for mobile research, kernels with full eBPF support for advanced tracing, and vendor-patched kernels when testing firmware/driver bugs. Always follow legal & ethical rules — lab environment, consent, and backups. #InfoSec #KernelDev

Rust's memory safety & concurrency features are a major draw for kernel development, reducing critical bugs. While integration into the Linux kernel faces challenges, the ongoing efforts show its potential for safer, more reliable systems. #KernelDev 3/6

Relying on DKMS for critical kernel modules like Bcachefs can introduce instability & maintenance headaches. It's a workaround, not a preferred solution for core components in a stable system. #KernelDev 4/6

Kernel maintainers argue 32-bit support adds complexity, slowing dev for most users. Older kernels still exist, & alternatives like NetBSD might continue 32-bit. It's a trade-off for progress. #KernelDev 3/6

Contributing to the Linux kernel is tough. The community prioritizes stability & long-term maintainability over rapid innovation. This process, while ensuring robustness, can be a barrier for new projects & bug fixes. #KernelDev 6/6

Technically, futexes often involve 32-bit limitations and heavily rely on atomic operations. Implementing complex synchronization primitives like condition variables and recursive locks atop futexes presents significant design challenges. #KernelDev 3/6

The discussion dove into specific driver implementation choices, like using ioctls versus uring_cmd. These decisions are critical, balancing existing API compatibility with hardware constraints and performance needs in kernel development. #KernelDev 3/6

Thanks to Huawei’s Baokun Li, block allocation code now scales much better — great news for multi-core, container-heavy systems. Benchmarks show big gains in fallocate ops & reduced file fragmentation (with a small trade-off in free space).
