By "userland" Linus meant actual users of the Linux kernel, not all possible theoretical users of the Linux kernel. For example, if there is a program that just uses quirks of implementation to fingerprint the kernel version, it w

Intel CPUs (since Westmere, 2010 [1][2]) encrypt with AES GCM (the recommended cipher suite for TLS) at gigabytes per second per core [3]. You can saturate 10Gbps pipe on a single core. My laptop can do 1,400 RSA 2048 sign operations per se

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS ships openssl 1.1.0, with the intention to upgrade to 1.1.1. Does anyone know the timeline for this upgrade? I would like to just have TLS 1.3 without building stuff myself.

Modern CPUs execute micro ops, RISC-like instructions (e.g. load from memory address to register, add two registers, store from register to memory address). The CPU's "decode" stage translates x86 instructions into micro-ops

You do want it to out-of-order and branch predict and speculate enough to issue speculative RAM reads as soon as a possibly needed address is available, to hide RAM latency (as long as rollbacks of speculatively executed operations hide the

Not every workload is memory bandwidth bound like his "make -j16" compile. Some workloads need memory latency or fast inter-core (and inter-socket) operations (e.g. RDBMS OLTP), some need CPU throughput (e.g. HPC), some need best

Maybe there is an autovectorizer in the compiler that recognizes the shape of that loop and uses SSE to do it 16 bytes at a time instead of 8 at a time?

It depends both on openssl and on libsodium, I searched the GitHub repo [1] and it uses 3 things from libsodium: constant time memory compare, random number generator and x25519 key exchange. Does anyone know or can guess why it uses curve2

Welcome to 1995 and the wonderful world of Java. Except in Java you can use threads to use multiprocessing, so you can have efficient shared data structures but also hard to debug bugs.
