Article note: Sweet. From my limited playing, WireGuard is good tech that straightforwardly solves real problems, plus it triggered some good cleanup of the kernel crypto tools.<\/div>

Yesterday, Linux creator Linus Torvalds merged<\/a> David Miller's net-next into his source tree for the Linux 5.6 kernel. This merger added plenty of new network-related drivers and features to the upcoming 5.6 kernel, with No.1 on the list being simply \"Add WireGuard.\"<\/p>\n

As previously reported<\/a>, WireGuard was pulled into net-next in December—so its inclusion into Linus' 5.6 source tree isn't exactly a surprise. It does represent clearing another potential hurdle for the project; there is undoubtedly more refinement work to be done before the kernel is finalized, but with Linus having pulled it in-tree, the likelihood that it will disappear between now and 5.6's final release (expected sometime in May or early June) is vanishingly small.<\/p>\n

WireGuard's Jason Donenfeld is also contributing AVX crypto optimizations<\/a> to the kernel outside the WireGuard project itself. Specifically, Donenfeld has optimized the Poly1305 cipher to take advantage of instruction sets present in modern CPUs.<\/p><\/div>
