Linus Torvalds releasedthe 5.8 kernel on August 2, concluding another nine-weekdevelopment cycle. By the time the work was done, 16,306 non-mergechangesets had been pulled into the mainline repository for this release.That happens to be a record, beating the previous record holder (4.9,released in December 2016) by 92 changesets. It was, in other words,a busy development cycle. It's time for our traditional look into wherethat work came from to see what might be learned.
