The 3.7 kernel is out

Linus has released the 3.7 kernel. "Anyway, it's been a somewhat drawn out release despite the 3.7 merge window having otherwise appeared pretty straightforward, and none of the rc's were all that big either. But we're done, and this means that the merge window will close on Christmas eve." Of course, "drawn out" is a relative term; at 72 days, this cycle is only a few days above average in length. Headline features in this kernel include 64-bit ARM support, improved security with supervisor-mode access prevention, SMB 2.1 support, server-side TCP fast open support, signed kernel modules, and more. See the KernelNewbies 3.7 page for details.
