economy cars never sell very well in the u.s. and they are almost never profitable. cutting every corner is the only way to get your money back

he ripped on speed comparisons with userland dbus because userland dbus is slow as gently caress. there were some legit concerns and issues with kdbus that are being addressed, but it's being actively developed and will probably be merged eventually. it's already included in linux-next and fedora rawhide.

nextbsd is adding Mach IPC because it’s so good

why doesn’t Linux just add Mach IPC and let userspace dbus build on that?

because non-Android userlands on Linux make extensive use of dbus and they don't use Mach IPC at all. Nobody's going to port all of the DBus IPC over to Mach IPC just to satisfy someone's pointless spergery.

Last commit was on Aug 7th though. Hopefully the poo poo actually does make it into mainline at some point.

DBus is actually way more complicated than it needs to be

Mach ports, port names, bootstrap_register and bootstrap_lookup, and mig are perfectly sufficient for the low-level IPC needs of an OS

and you can build things like launchd and XPC on top of them easily, making them very widely available in both the OS implementation and the apps and services running on top of it

does DBus even support passing data of out of band without copies, or passing file descriptors?

one good reason to route IPC through the kernel is that it's the only way to securely provide trust information for both endpoints to each other: when fartd gets a control message, it can be sure that it came from a properly-signed fartctl, rather than something trying to spoof fartctl

I don't know if that's why KDBus wants to be in the kernel though, most of the reasoning I saw was "it'll be faster without all the context switches" which is a bullshit reason related to DBus being way more complicated than it needs to be

Linux could put Mach-equivalent IPC and implement DBus on top of that, and also see a performance increase because it'd force KDBus to change enough of how it's written that it would no longer require 37 syscalls to send a single drat message
