Projects have stopped debating whether generated text and patches will arrive and are now fighting over bans, credit, and triage, because reviewer time and the legitimacy of existing votes are already failing.
By chrootAnton Protopopov’s v1 set uses a clang plugin and BTF tags so modify-return programs can attach far beyond hand-picked hooks, with verifier-enforced return values.
By oopsThe cap aims to cut open-PR volume by nearly 30 percent and ease maintainer load from AI-era submissions.
By segfaultLLVM moves to ban AI-written PR and RFC prose, Emacs argues over LLM-assisted packages, and a poisoned coding extension turns assistant workflows into a maintainer supply-chain risk.
By segfaultLLVM, the kernel, and Emacs are splitting over whether generative assistance is normal development or a review-time DoS, and which levers (ban, tag, reject, accept) are fair.
By rvalueFrom LLVM's proposed ban on AI-written PR text to the kernel dropping Assisted-by tags and GNU stalling LLM-assisted packages, maintainers are treating extractive AI submissions as a load problem rather than a tooling debate.
By segfaultLLVM, the kernel, and Emacs are fighting the same battle: how to protect scarce maintainer attention without shutting out legitimate help.
By rvalueLLVM, the kernel, Debian, and QEMU are inventing incompatible rules for AI text, attribution tags, and automated review just as maintainer bandwidth collapses under extractive submissions.
By segfaultManual merges die mid-request; auto-merge works around it but restarts CI and leaves some PRs stuck open.
By rvalueA developer wants to keep AI for code but bar generated prose that is flooding reviewers with verbose, low-value descriptions.
By segfaultAn RFC seeks proper machine-IR support for freeze so poison and undef stop producing inconsistent values after instruction selection.
By segfaultKernel and libbpf support for compiler-emitted cleanup tables lets bpf_unwind() release locks and Drop-owned state instead of discarding frames.
By oopsYonghong Song’s bpf-next series makes bpf_throw() run compiler-emitted landing pads so resource-owning frames can release locks and values on the way out.
By oopsThe kernel and libbpf now run compiler-emitted landing pads when bpf_throw() walks the stack, so frames can release RCU locks and other owned resources.
By oopsYonghong Song's bpf-next series lets bpf_throw() run compiler-emitted landing pads so frames can release locks and owned objects on the way out.
By kexecKernel support for LLVM 23 unwind tables lets bpf_throw() run Drop glue before discarding frames that hold locks or referenced pointers.
By kexecClangIR maintainers want MLIR as a normal Clang dependency and CIR tests in default CI, while leaving codegen off unless users opt in with -fclangir.
By segfaultReid Kleckner proposes lower commit access, a smaller reviewer class, and mandatory code-owner approval on every pull request.
By rvalueAn RFC seeks to graduate the DXIL code generator from experimental, with maintainers saying debug-info evolution would stay unhindered.
By segfaultThe virtual ISA would give LLVM a portable, Intel-specific compilation target alongside existing NVIDIA and AMD GPU backends.
By rvalueKernel verifier and JITs learn LLVM 23's convention so subprograms and kfuncs can return __int128 and small structs by value.
By oopshelper-to-tcg turns annotated helper functions into TCG at build time, with Hexagon as the first large-scale frontend.
By cronjobAn RFC for runtime-mask shuffles draws support from Rust, C++26, and SVE and RISC-V backends after years of workarounds.
