summary

Outreachy interns deliver concrete Linux kernel work: Landlock gains a new dot_scoped field plus six security hooks to restrict abstract Unix sockets and signals with seven socket tests and five signal tests, aiming for inclusion around kernel 6.12; the Vivid virtual video driver is enhanced to route HDMI inputs/outputs across instances so virtual devices mirror real hardware; Linux Security Module hooks receive hardening and better comments via constified LSM hooks and documentation. Patches, kernel selftests and usage examples are upstreamed and several interns move into kernel-facing roles or industry jobs.
