The Google-backed project to make Rust a second programming language in Linux kernel development after C just took it's next big step. Key to the project is Spain-based developer Miguel Ojeda, who ...

The recently announced proposal to make the Rust programming language one of two main languages for the Linux kernel is getting a major boost thanks to Google and the Internet Security Research Group ...

What just happened? Rust will soon be part of Linux, Torvalds has decided. The memory safe programming language will join C and the other traditional languages developers use to create new pieces and ...

This course provides an overview of System Programming for the Linux operating system, or software which is interfacing directly with the Linux Kernel and C library. The basic components of a Linux ...

The search giant is working to allow Rust code in the Linux kernel, a major technological and cultural shift after decades using only C.

The Linux kernel implementation, for example, is starting on the periphery by supporting Rust-based drivers, the programs that coordinate between an operating system and hardware like a printer.

There are a number of very good references on Linux kernel programming and Linux driver programming (see Resources). This column assumes you have at least skimmed these in the past or have them handy ...

Linux kernel programming is primarily in C, but small parts of the Linux kernel—parts critical to putting Linux on a new system are in assembler. I have programmed in many assemblers—once writing the ...
