The Free Software Foundation has
announced
the completion of the review of its board of directors; the process
resulted in the reconfirmation of all five sitting board members.
The review examined board members Ian Kelling, Geoffrey Knauth,
Henry Poole, Richard Stallman, and Gerald Sussman. The process
generated detailed philosophical and policy discussions between
board members and the FSF's global associate members on topics
ranging from the firmness of the Free Software Definition,
developments in machine learning, to the board's president
position.

Just over six months ago, The Economist described the US economy as "
the envy of the
world". That headline would be unlikely to appear now. The economic
boom referenced in that article feels like a distant memory, markets are
falling, and uncertainty is at an all-time high. Like everybody else, LWN
is affected by the current turbulence in the political and economic
spheres; we expect to get through this period, but there will be some
challenges.

The LWN.net fediverse (Mastodon) feed has moved; we are now known as
@LWN@lwn.net. The migration magic has
shifted many of our followers over automatically but, if you follow that
stream, you might want to make sure that you have shifted to the new
source.

Version 1.8.0
of the Meson build system has
been released. Notable changes in this release include the ability to
run rustdoc for Rust projects, support for the c2y and gnu2y
compiler options, and a new argument (android_exe_type) that
makes it possible to use the same meson.build file for
Android and non-Android systems.

Tavian Barnes
takes on
the tedious process of waiting for configure scripts to run.
I paid good money for my 24 CPU cores, but ./configure can only
manage to use 69% of one of them. As a result, this random project
takes about 13.5× longer to configure the build than it does to
actually do the build.
The purpose of a ./configure script is basically to run the
compiler a bunch of times and check which runs succeeded. In this
way it can test whether particular headers, functions, struct
fields, etc. exist, which lets people write portable software. This
is an embarrassingly parallel problem, but Autoconf can't
parallelize it, and neither can CMake, neither can Meson, etc.,
etc.
(Thanks to Paul Wise).

The kernel's CPU scheduler has to balance a wide range of objectives. The
tasks in the system must be scheduled fairly, with latency for any given
task kept within bounds. All of the CPUs in the system should be kept busy
if there is enough work to do, but unneeded CPUs should be shut down to
reduce power consumption. A task should also run on the CPU that is most
likely to have cached the memory that task is using.
This patch
series from Chen Yu aims to improve how the scheduler handles cache
locality for multi-threaded processes.

The Kali Linux distribution has
announced
that software updates will soon start failing for all users:
This is not only you, this is for everyone, and this is entirely
our fault. We lost access to the signing key of the repository, so
we had to create a new one. At the same time, we froze the
repository (you might have noticed that there was no update since
Friday 18th), so nobody was impacted yet. But we're going to
unfreeze the repository this week, and it's now signed with the new
key.
The announcement includes instructions for how to recover from the problem.

Valgrind
dynamic-analysis tool has been released. It has lots of new features,
including initial support for RISC-V on Linux, handling zstd-compressed
debug sections, integration of the
Linux Test
Project test suite, support for lots more Linux system calls, and more.
It also has plenty of bug fixes, of course.

The Open Source Initiative (OSI) has quietly published
"takeaways" from its internal retrospective on the recent board
of directors election as an update
to the March blog
post that announced the new members of the board. The election was
controversial, in part, due to poor communication and OSI changing the
election rules and disqualifying several candidates after the election
finished. LWN covered
the election and results in March. The update commits to improvements
in communication and candidate selection:
What this election exposed was the need for the organization to also
assess whether candidates were fully eligible to run and prepared to
be seated on the board before voting begins. This is something we will
add to the election timeline next year. While we have not finished
figuring out all of the requirements for that assessment, part of it
will be asking candidates to sign a Candidate Agreement at nomination
time. We also have some ideas on ways for potential candidates to have
more information even before submitting a nomination.
In a related note, there is a petition
asking OSI to publish the "complete, unaltered" results of the
board of directors election. Thanks to Josh Triplett for the tip on
the petition.

Martin Lau gave a talk in the BPF track of the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management, and BPF Summit about a performance problem
plaguing the networking subsystem, and some potential ways to fix it. He works on
BPF programs that need to store socket-local data; amid other improvements to
the networking and BPF subsystems, retrieving that data has become a noticeable
bottleneck for his use case. His proposed fix prompted a good deal of discussion
about how the data should be laid out.

The
6.15-rc4 kernel prepatch is out for
testing. "So let's see if this rc ends up avoiding any silly issues -
things certainly look pretty normal, and there were no hurried last-minute
changes this week due to system upgrades".

The Debian project is discussing a General Resolution (GR) that
would, if approved, clarify that AI models must include training data
to be compliant with the Debian
Free Software Guidelines (DFSG) and be distributed by Debian as
free software. While GR discussions are sometimes contentious, the
discussion around the proposal from Debian developer Mo Zhou has
been anything but—there seems to be
consensus that AI models are not DFSG-compliant if they lack training
data. There are, however, some questions about the exact language and
questions about the impact the GR will have on existing packages in
the Debian archive.
