The Linux 6. 0 kernel was released with settings that affect spaces such as chip hardware, array timer registers, and XFS logging systems. Larger tweaks are planned, such as for the Rust programming language, for Linux 6. 1.
The kernel presentation was announced via Linux founder Linus Torvalds in an October 2 newsletter. The newsletter cites changes, adding nice enabling logs before accessing timers, and making sure all Macs are turned off before restarting and only running PLL once. Reboot.
Other changes, cited by lwn. net news for Linux, come with buffering writes to XFS registration systems and network streaming without a copy with io_uring.
“So, as you’d expect for everyone, the major update in the edition number is more about the fact that I’m missing my hands and feet than the big basic updates,” Torvalds said.
“But of course there are a lot of diverse tweaks in 6. 0: we have over 15,000 commits merging in total, after all, and as such, 6. 0 is one of the biggest releases, at least in terms of number of commits in a long time. “
Torvalds had to open the merge window for Linux 6. 1, with a number of covert “essentials”. One possible addition to the kernel is the Rust language, which may take place next year.
