Liquorix Linux Kernel 7.2-4 has been released, marking the tenth update in just two weeks as part of an accelerated development process. This version introduces significant changes to SMT scheduling, specifically within the Project-C initiative, replacing a previous patch with a new optimization that places sync wakees on the waker's sibling thread to enhance performance. The update focuses on improving latency and reducing cache pressure compared to cross-core migration by reverting a prior load-balancing strategy that proved suboptimal in certain scenarios. Overall, this release is a patch-level update based on Linux 7.2.3, with no new features from upstream, emphasizing Liquorix's unique applied patches and tuning configuration
Liquorix Linux Kernel 7.2-4 Released: 10th Kernel in Two Weeks with SMT Optimizations
Liquorix Linux Kernel 7.2-4 is now available, continuing an intense development sprint that has produced ten kernel updates in under two weeks. Based on Linux 7.2.3, the new build introduces significant SMT scheduling changes within the ongoing Project-C initiative, replacing a previous skip-patch with a new optimization that places sync wakees directly on the waker's sibling thread.
