    [$] Linker limitations on 32-bit architectures
    Before a program can be run, it needs to be built. It's a well-known fact
    that modern software, in general, consumes more runtime resources than
    before, sometimes to the point of
    forcing users to upgrade their computers. But it also consumes more resources
    at build time, forcing operators of the distributions' build farms to invest
    in new hardware, with faster CPUs and more memory. For
    32-bit architectures, however, there exists a fundamental limit on the amount
    of virtual memory, which is never going to disappear. That is leading to
    some problems for distributions trying to build packages for those architectures.

    [$] Inline encryption for filesystems
    The encryption of data at rest is increasingly mandatory in a wide range of
    settings from mobile devices to data centers. Linux has supported
    encryption at both the filesystem and block-storage layers for some time,
    but that support comes with a cost: either the CPU must encrypt and decrypt vast
    amounts of data moving to and from persistent storage or it must
    orchestrate offloading that work to a separate device. It was
    thus only a
    matter of time before ways were found to offload that overhead to the
    storage hardware itself. Satya Tangirala's inline
    encryption patch set     is intended to enable the kernel to take advantage
    of this hardware in a general manner.
