The 6.7 kernel has been released
Linus has released the 6.7 kernel.
End result: 6.7 is (in number of commits: over 17k non-mergecommits, with 1k+ merges) one of the largest kernel releases we'veever had, but the extra rc8 week was purely due to timing with theholidays, not about any difficulties with the larger release.
Some of the headline features in this release are:the removal of support for the Itaniumarchitecture,the first part of the futex2 API,futexsupport in io_uring,the BPF exceptions mechanism,the bcachefs filesystem,the TCPauthentication option,the kernel samepage merging smartscan mode, andnetworkingsupport for the Landlock security module.See the LWN merge-window summaries (part1,part2) and the (in-progress) KernelNewbies 6.7 page formore information.
