Rust for Linux: Inside the Kernel’s New Memory-Safe Architecture Two-thirds of Linux kernel vulnerabilities come from memory safety problems, which reveals a crucial challenge developers face The Linux kernel team made history by adding Rust support, and this transformation became official with Linux kernel version 6 1
An Update on Memory Safety in the Linux Kernel - Prossimo New code written in Rust has a reduced risk of memory safety bugs, data races, and logic bugs overall, thanks to the language properties Maintainers are more confident in refactoring and accepting patches for modules thanks to the safe subset of Rust
Linus Torvalds weighs in on Rust language in the Linux kernel This week, ZDNet's Steven J Vaughan-Nichols asked Linus Torvalds and Greg Kroah-Hartman about the possibility of new Linux kernel code being written in Rust —a high performance but memory-safe
Linus Torvalds to Hector Martin: Maybe the problem is you The dispute stemmed from Hellwig's opposition to a patch proposed last month that would allow Rust-written device drivers to call the mostly C-based kernel's core DMA API, which allocates and maps memory regions for direct memory access
Rust in the Linux Kernel: A New Memory Safety - Undercode Testing Rust, the memory-safe programming language, has made significant strides into the Linux kernel While some maintainers have expressed concerns, Linus Torvalds has made it clear: Rust is welcome, and its inclusion is not up for debate Memory Safety: Rust’s design helps prevent common bugs like null pointer dereferencing and buffer overflows
Linus Torvalds on Where Rust Will Fit Into Linux - Teknodate Linus Torvalds has shown a cautious openness to Rust's role, urging effective collaboration between Rust and kernel developers The safety features of Rust, particularly its memory management model, are designed to reduce programming errors linked to memory safety
Rust vs. C — Linux’s Uncivil War - Security Boulevard In case you came in late, Rust was added to the Linux kernel in 2022 because it allows better memory safety than C … The majority of serious bugs and vulnerabilities in large codebases arise from memory safety errors, which could or should be avoided by using memory-safe languages and tooling …
New Linux Kernel Code Written in Rust Aims to Eliminate Memory Safety Bugs The integration of Rust into the Linux kernel is a significant step forward in enhancing memory safety, a critical aspect of kernel development This effort, known as Rust for Linux, began in 2021 with the publication of an RFC by Miguel Ojeda, the project’s primary maintainer
