Linus has released the 5.13 kernel.

Of course, if the last week was small and calm, 5.13 overall isactually fairly large. In fact, it's one of the bigger 5.x releases,with over 16k commits (over 17k if you count merges), from over 2kdevelopers. But it's a 'big all over' kind of thing, not somethingparticular that stands out as particularly unusual.

Headline features in this release includethe "misc" group controller,multiplesources for trusted keys,kernelstack randomization on every system call,support for Clang control-flow integrityenforcement,the ability to call kernel functionsdirectly from BPF programs,minor-faulthandling for userfaultfd(),the removal of /dev/kmem,the Landlock security module,and, of course, thousands of cleanups and fixes.
