To clean the kernel from non-free parts, the Linux-libre project has created a universal shell script that contains thousands of templates for detecting the presence of binary inserts and excluding false positives. Ready-made patches, created based on the use of the aforementioned script, are also available for download. The Linux-libre kernel is recommended for use in distributions that meet the Free Software Foundation's criteria for building fully free GNU\/Linux distributions. For example, Linux-libre is used in distributions such as Dragora Linux, Trisquel, Dyne:Bolic, gNewSense, Parabola, Musix, and Kongoni. <\/p>\n
The release of Linux-libre 6.12-gnu includes code for cleaning blobs in drivers for SoC CPM\/QE QMC, wireless chips Realtek 8852BE-VT, Bluetooth adapters Amlogic, network adapters amcc qt2025, sensors aw96103\/aw96105, and codecs TI TLV320AIC31XX. An additional clean-up of blobs has been performed in drivers for xHCI controllers Renesas and Intel ISH (Integrated Sensor Hub) HID. The blob removal code for drivers and subsystems MHI PCI host, Adreno 620\/621, r8169, Qualcomm q6v5 remoteproc, rtw8852c, rtw8922a, as well as in dts files for ARM54 chips TI PRU and Qualcomm has been updated. The clean-up of drivers for wireless cards ks7010 and the Intel SkyLake audio subsystem has been discontinued as these drivers were removed from the kernel. <\/p>\n
It is particularly noted that one of the drivers contained executable object code generated from unpublished source texts, embedded in the form of a sequence of hexadecimal numbers. The problematic driver is not explicitly named, but judging by the changes, it seems to refer to the presence of shader microcode in the file gfx_v9_4_3_cleaner_shader.h, part of the AMDGPU driver. The first such insertion was identified in kernel 6.11 and later proposed for removal by one of the developers as the source texts were not provided (a situation arose where a program was delivered under the GPL license, available only in binary form). However, in kernel 6.12, the specified binary code was preserved, and another similar insertion was added to the same driver. <\/p>\n
Additionally, the announcement of Linux-libre 6.12 mentioned two more events: <\/p>\n

According to the maintainer of Linux-libre, the kernel should not infringe on users' right to not install unverified proprietary firmware and microcode on their own devices. Discussions about the existence of vulnerabilities should be tied to specific fixes in certain versions of firmware, rather than labeling any systems that do not have the latest microcode installed as vulnerable, regardless of whether vulnerabilities are present in that system and whether the latest firmware contains fixes for any vulnerabilities. <\/ul>\n
