In Debian kernel we've very recently enabled building an ARM64 kernel flavour with 16KiB page size and we've discussed adding a 64KiB flavour at some point as is the case for PowerPC64 already. This will likely reveal bugs that ne

Even with LUKSv1 there are seven key slots. On creation generally the first will be a keyboard-entered pass-phrase, then one might add a key-file, and then add the hardware token as another. With LUKSv2 the seven slot limit doesn't app

I use qemu extensively especially for early-stage kernel debugging when no console is available; one such was just this week with v6.8 where, on arm64, any kernel command-line parameter >= 146 characters hangs the kernel instantly and si
