Status of Embedded Linux
summary
Kernel moves include real-time preemption landing and lazy preemption work, a new option to write schedulers as BPF programs, multigrain VFS timestamps, and large ext4/XFS performance gains in 6.16–6.17; 6.12 adds persistent tracing and a fixed-function device security module. U-Boot introduces bootflow and can reach the kernel in ~100 ms when command line is stripped. A satellite runs five Linux instances; an AI-generated kernel patch was accepted, prompting proposals for commit annotations and legal/licensing caution. Yocto 5.2 and Debian 13 noted.
