The 6.5 kernel has been released

Linus has, as expected, released the 6.5kernel.

I still have this nagging feeling that a lot of people are onvacation and that things have been quiet partly due to that. Butthis release has been going smoothly, so that's probably just mebeing paranoid. The biggest patches this last week were literallyjust to our selftests.

Headline features in 6.5 includefaster booting on large x86 systems,Arm Permission Indirection Extensionsupport,Rust 1.68.2 support,unaccepted memory handling,"mount beneath" support for filesystems,the cachestat() system call,the ability to pass a pidfd via a SCM_CREDENTIALS control message,scope-based resource management forinternal kernel code,the deprecation of the SLAB allocator,and more. See the LWN merge-window summaries(part1,part2) and the (in-progress)KernelNewbies 6.5 pagefor details.
