Linus has released the 4.17 kernel, whichwill indeed be called "4.17"."No, I didn't call it 5.0, even though all the git object countnumerology was in place for that. It will happen in the not _too_distant future, and I'm told all the release scripts on kernel.org areready for it, but I didn't feel there was any real reason for it."Headline features in this release includeimproved load estimation in the CPUscheduler,rawBPF tracepoints,lazytime support in the XFS filesystem,full in-kernel TLS protocol support,histogram triggers for tracing,mitigations for the latest Spectre variants,and, of course, the removal of support for eight unloved processorarchitectures.
