Several groups of Linux kernel papers have been published recently. Here's my pick of them:

First we have the Proceedings of the 2008 Linux Symposium (these are in some order of order, favourite first):

• 'Real Time' vs. 'Real Fast': How to Choose?
• Korset: Automated, Zero False-Alarm Intrusion Detection for the Linux Kernel
• Low Power MPEG4 Player
• I/O Containment
• Bazillions of pages: The future of memory management under Linux
• Linux capabilities: making them work
• Keeping The Linux Kernel Honest (Testing Kernel.org kernels)

Next there's the ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review. These papers are about much more experimental developments in the kernel and are thus more fun, even if they are less likely to see the light of day:

• Extending futex for kernel to user notification
• PipesFS: fast Linux I/O in the unix tradition
• Plan 9 authentication in Linux
