Linus has released the 6.2 kernel as
expected.
Please do give 6.2 a testing. Maybe it’s not a sexy LTS release
like 6.1 ended up being, but all those regular pedestrian kernels
want some test love too.
Headline features in this release include
the ability to manage linked
lists and other data structures in BPF programs,
more additions to the kernel’s Rust
infrastructure,
improvements in Btrfs RAID5/6 reliability,
IPv6 protective
load balancing,
faster “Retbleed” mitigation with return stack
buffer stuffing,
control-flow integrity improvements with FineIBT,
oops limits,
and more.
See the LWN merge-window summaries (part 1, part 2) and the KernelNewbies 6.2 page
for more information.
