Linus has [1]released the 5.7 kernel right on schedule. Headline features in 5.7 include x86 [2]split-lock detection , [3]thermal-pressure management , [4]frequency invariance in the load-tracking code, [5]coexistence between BPF and realtime preemption, support for BPF security hook programs (formerly called the [6]KRSI security module ), a new, Microsoft-blessed exFAT filesystem implementation, and more. The final patch to be merged was [7]this one deprecating the long-standing 80-column limit for kernel source. See the [8]KernelNewbies 5.7 page for lots of details.
