Headline features in this release include:branch target identification and shadow callstacks for the arm64 architecture,the BPF iterator mechanism,inline encryption support in the blocklayer,the CAP_PERFMON and CAP_BPF capabilities,a generalized kernel event-notificationsubsystem,the KCSAN data-race detector, and more.As always, see theKernelNewbies 5.8 page for more information.
