Worked on the sysprog21/lkmpg repository to enhance kernel documentation by addressing IBT-related deprecations in module initialization APIs. Focused on clarifying the risks of using init_module() and cleanup_module() directly on IBT-enabled kernels, the work updated technical guides to reflect changes introduced in kernel 6.15 and the default IBT enablement on x86 since 6.2. Using TeX for documentation and leveraging kernel development expertise, the update provided explicit migration recommendations and detailed the impact of IBT on module authors. This effort reduced build-time errors, improved onboarding for new developers, and aligned project documentation with upstream kernel changes and best practices.

January 2026 (2026-01) — Key work focused on clarifying IBT-related deprecations for kernel module init APIs and preventing build-time issues on IBT-enabled kernels. The LKMPG project updated its documentation to reflect that using init_module() and cleanup_module() directly can cause build failures on IBT-enabled systems starting from kernel 6.15, while IBT is enabled by default for x86 since kernel 6.2. This work provides developers with clear migration guidance, reduces build errors, and aligns with upstream kernel changes.
