An Asahi Linux 6.15 progress report

The Asahi Linuxproject, which supports Linux on Apple Silicon Macs, has published aprogress report ahead of the 6.15 kernel's release.

We are pleased to announce that our graphics driver userspace API(uAPI) has been merged into the Linux kernel. This major milestoneallows us to finally enable OpenGL, OpenCL and Vulkan support forApple Silicon in upstream Mesa. This is the only time a graphicsdriver's uAPI has been merged into the kernel independent of thedriver itself, which was kindly allowed by the kernel graphicssubsystem (DRM) maintainers to facilitate upstream Mesa enablementwhile the required Rust abstractions make their way upstream. We aregrateful for this one-off exception, made possible with closecollaboration with the kernel community.
