[$] Page allocation for address-space isolation

Linux Weekly News - Thu, 04/03/2025 - 12:02
Address-space isolation may well be, as Brendan Jackman said at the beginning of his memory-management-track session at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit, "some security bullshit". But it also holds the potential to protect the kernel from a wide range of vulnerabilities, both known and unknown, while reducing the impact of existing mitigations. Implementing address-space isolation with reasonable performance, though, is going to require some significant changes. Jackman was there to get feedback from the memory-management community on how those changes should be implemented.

[$] Better hugetlb page-table walking

Linux Weekly News - Thu, 04/03/2025 - 11:15
The kernel must often step through the page tables of one or more processes to carry out various operations. This "page-table walking" tends to be performed by ad-hoc (duplicated) code all over the kernel. Oscar Salvador used a memory-management-track session at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit to talk about strategies to unify the kernel's page-table walking code just a little bit by making hugetlb pages look more like ordinary pages.

The Proper Way to Change the VISUDO Editor on Ubuntu and Debian

Linux Today - Thu, 04/03/2025 - 11:06

When managing a Linux system, there are times when you may need to modify the /etc/sudoers file to adjust user privileges. However, editing this file incorrectly can lock you out of your administrative privileges or cause serious system issues.

The safest way to edit the /etc/sudoers file is by using the visudo command, which prevents syntax errors and file corruption.

By default, visudo uses the system’s default text editor (often Vim), but you can change this to an editor you prefer. Below, we’ll show you how to safely change the visudo editor on Ubuntu and Debian.
