kernel.org on the World Wide Web is the main distribution point of source code for the Linux kernel, which is the base of the Linux operating system.. The website and related infrastructure, which is operated by the Linux Kernel Organization, [1] host the repositories that make all versions of the kernel's source code available to all users.
On January 15, 2011, LIO was merged into the Linux kernel mainline with version 2.6.38, which was officially released on March 14, 2011. [2] [3] Subsequent versions of the Linux kernel have introduced additional fabric modules to expand its compatibility. [citation needed] LIO competes with other SCSI target modules in the Linux ecosystem.
Versions 2.6.16 and 2.6.27 of the Linux kernel were unofficially given long-term support (LTS), [303] before a 2011 working group in the Linux Foundation started a formal long-term support initiative.
The official kernel, that is the Linus git branch at the kernel.org repository, contains binary blobs released under the terms of the GNU GPLv2 license. [5] [10] Linux can also search filesystems to locate binary blobs, proprietary firmware, drivers, or other executable modules, then it can load and link them into kernel space. [324]
A kernel is a component of a computer operating system. [1] A comparison of system kernels can provide insight into the design and architectural choices made by the ...
The O(n) scheduler [1] is the scheduler used in the Linux kernel between versions 2.4 and 2.6. Since version 2.6.0, it has been replaced by the O(1) scheduler and in 2.6.23 by the Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS), which itself was replaced by the current Earliest eligible virtual deadline first (EEVDF) in 6.6.
util-linux is a standard package distributed by the Linux Kernel Organization for use as part of the Linux operating system.A fork, util-linux-ng (with ng meaning "next generation"), was created when development stalled, [4] but as of January 2011 has been renamed back to util-linux, and is the official version of the package.
KTCPVS: implements application-level load balancing inside the Linux kernel, as of February 2011 still under development. [ 2 ] LVS can be used for building highly scalable and highly available network services, such as web, email, media and VoIP services, and integrating scalable network services into large-scale reliable e-commerce or e ...
