The 5.7 kernel is out

[Posted June 1, 2020 by corbet]

Linus has

released

the 5.7 kernel right on schedule. Headline features in 5.7 include x86

split-lock detection

,

thermal-pressure management

,

frequency invariance

in the load-tracking code,

coexistence

between BPF and realtime preemption, support for BPF security hook programs (formerly called the

KRSI security module

), a new, Microsoft-blessed exFAT filesystem implementation, and more. The final patch to be merged was

this one

deprecating the long-standing 80-column limit for kernel source. See the

KernelNewbies 5.7 page

for lots of details.
