The 4.7 kernel is out
Linus has returned from his travels and released the 4.7 kernel. The most significant
changes in this release include
the tracing histograms feature,
in-kernel tracing analysis via the ability to attach BPF programs to tracepoints,
the LoadPin security module,
better out-of-memory detection,
faster filesystem operations with parallel
pathname lookups,
the schedutil CPU frequency governor, and
more. See the KernelNewbies
4.7 page for lots of details.
