As Pavel said, the only difference was that uswusp ran in userspace and not kernel space.
#ELEMENTARY OS DISTRO 2018 SOFTWARE#
This would appear to be completely unnecessary, since as Pavel Machek pointed out, there is already uswsusp (userspace software suspend), which encrypts the running image before suspending the system. Recently, Chen Yu and other developers tried to submit patches to enhance Secure Boot so that when the user hibernated the system, the kernel itself would encrypt its running image. If the vendor doesn’t control the system, the user might always have some secret piece of software ready to catch and store any streamed media that could then be shared with others who would not pay the media company for the privilege. The vendors’ motivation is clear-if they control the kernel, they can then stream media on that computer without risking copyright infringement by the user. In that scenario, users would look helplessly on while their systems refused to boot any kernels but those controlled by the vendors.

Various efforts always are underway to implement Secure Boot and to add features that will allow vendors to lock users out of controlling their own systems.
#ELEMENTARY OS DISTRO 2018 CODE#
This code that’s been part of the Linux kernel the past few years allows mapping I/O to multiple queues and distributing the tasks across multiple CPU threads, thus scaling better with today’s multi-core servers, while also supporting multiple hardware queues of capable devices.
#ELEMENTARY OS DISTRO 2018 DRIVERS#
More Linux storage drivers have been converted to the “blk-mq” interfaces for the multi-queue block I/O queuing mechanism for the 4.20~5.0 kernel cycle.īlk-mq is capable of delivering much better performance with modern storage devices - namely NVMe PCI Express SSDs but also SCSI drives.
