December 24, 2008By Sean Michael Kerner: More stories by this author:
Linux creator Linus Torvalds is expected to soon release the final Linux kernel of 2008, loaded full of stocking stuffers for users of the open source operating system. Among the key new items in the release is a new, stable filesystem as well as improved graphics performance.
The Linux 2.6.28 kernel will be the fifth Linux kernel release of 2008 and follows the 2.6.27 release that came in October.
"I do think that I'll make 2.6.28 be a Christmas release (or Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, Insert-Favorite-Holiday, whatever)," Torvalds wrote in a Linux Kernel Mailing List posting. "Because quite frankly, this kind of boredom won't help anything and I'll go stir crazy if I have to do this for another two weeks."
The ext4 filesystem, which has been in various stages of implementation in the Linux kernel over the course of 2008, is one of the big items in the 2.6.28 release, which marks the first release in which the new filesystem has been declared stable. The new system is an evolution of the ext3 filesystem, the default on many current Linux distributions.
"The ext4 filesystem, the successor to the ext3 filesystem, has been marked stable enough for people to start using and relying on," Novell Linux kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman told InternetNews.com.

For more stories on this topic:
One of the shortcomings of ext3 had been that it uses a system in which every 4k of data has a piece of metadata pointing to where that data is on the drive. Ext4 replaces the 4k system with "extents," which simply allocates data from a given starting position. The use of ext4 will allow for bigger filesystems and file sizes while providing performance improvements to filesytem operations.
While ext4 represents the next stage from ext3, Linux developers are also at work on another filesystem, BTRFS, which may deliver even further improvements in 2009.
Linux 2.6.28 may also herald a new era for video on Linux as well.
"We now have a proper memory manager for video memory, the GEM [Graphics Execution Manager] memory manager," Kroah-Hartman said. "This gives Linux much better graphics performance than it previously had."

The video improvements in Linux also extend to power utilization for graphics. Red Hat Fedora Project Leader Paul Frields told InternetNews.com that the 2.6.28 kernel enables reduced power consumption across the video driver subsystem in the vertical blanking routines, which will be helpful to mobile users.
On the topic of mobility, Linux 2.6.28 is loaded with Wireless USB support, which is something that had been lacking in Linux.
"Linux now fully supports wireless USB and other ultra-wideband-type devices," Novell's Kroah-Hartman said. "This is a whole new class of devices that is nice to see us working properly for."
Virtualization also gets a boost in Linux 2.6.28 with improvements to its Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM). The feature first appeared in the mainline Linux kernel with the 2.6.20 release in February 2007.
In the newest update, "KVM virtualization code improvements allow PCI devices to be assigned to guest [virtual machines]," Fedora's Frields said. "It it also includes support for Intel's "Tukwila" processors.
Red Hat now has a particularly strong relationship with KVM after acquiring its lead commercial sponsor Qumranet this year for $107 million.
While the new 2.6.28 kernel includes stable support for lots of hardware devices, it also opens up to let users try out hardware drivers that aren't yet quite ready.
"We have a staging driver tree that contains lots of "not quite fully supported" drivers for hardware, allowing users to use hardware earlier than previously had been possible," Novell's Kroah-Hartman said.
据称因在澳大利亚度假时被动物园小企鹅咬伤而选择企鹅作为Linux logo的Linus Torvalds在邮件列表上表示要在年度前发布Linux 2.6.28。 Linux 2.6.28将是2008年内发布的第五个kernel版本，新特性包括：ext4文件系统作为稳定版发布，无线USB驱动，更好的KVM支持，Graphics Execution Manager（GEM）显存管理器。Greg Kroah-Hartman称GEM将使Linux拥有更好的图形表现。Linux 2.6.28预示着Linux迎来新的视频时代。 Update：Linux 2.6.28已经在24日正式发布。
Graphics Execution Manager
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please wikify this article or section.Help improve this article by adding relevant internal links. (October 2008)
GEM (Graphics Execution Manager) is a modern memory manager for graphics chipsets for the Linux kernel. It manages graphics memory, controls the execution context and manages the NUMA environment on modern graphics chipsets. Multiple applications can share graphics device resources without the need to constantly reload the entire graphics card. GEM ensures conflict free sharing of data between applications by managing the memory synchronization. It uses a lot of existing kernel subsystems for its operations and hence has a very modest code size.
It is developed by Intel.
GEM is included in Linux kernel 2.6.28. The device driver xf86-video-intel will feature GEM integration.

[edit] History
GEM was introduced by Intel in May 2008 as an alternative to the then new TTM (Translation Table Maps) memory manager by Tungsten Graphics. [1]

There really is _nothing_ interesting here. There's just small changes
mostly to random drivers, with some networking updates. Oh, and some MIPS
defconfig updates.
The shortlog really tells the whole boring story - if you can get even
half-way through without falling asleep, you've just proven yourself to be
sufficiently caffeinated.
In fact, that may be the most exciting part of -rc9: the medical
revolution it harbors as a caffeine deficiency test.
But please do test it.
And btw, I do think that I'll make 2.6.28 be a Christmas release (or
Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, Insert-Favorite-Holiday, whatever). Because
quite frankly, this kind of boredom won't help anything and I'll go stir
crazy if I have to do this for another two weeks.
And I'll make the merge window longer for people who prefer getting drunk
on gl鰃g to being a useful kernel developer. Although you could do both:
just prepare your tree to be pulled before christmas, and then you can be
in a mulled-wine-induced stupor while _also_ feeling like a productive
member of society during the holidays.

It doesn't really matter what day it is, or what holiday (if any) you're
celebrating, because even if you sit at home, alone in your dank basement,
without any holidays or friends, I bring you a tiding of great cheer: you
can now download Linux-2.6.28, and compile it to your hearts content!
Listen to the cheerful grinding of your harddisk as you reboot into an
all-new kernel - and I'm sure that if your computer could smile, it would
have a big silly grin on its non-existent face. So as you sit there in
your basement, give your computer the holiday cheer too.
In fact, even _if_ you have friends or family, leave them to their endless
toil over that christmas ham or turkey, and during the night, when they're
asleep, you can give them that magical present of a newly updated
computer. When they wake up tomorrow morning, tell them how you saw Santa
crawl down the chimney with his USB stick in hand, updating the OS of all
good boys and girls.
Ho, ho, ho,
Linus "almost Santa" Torvalds
