The 4.3 kernel has been released

Linus has released the 4.3 kernel right on the 63-day schedule. "So on the whole, this remains a rather calm release cycle until the very end. And with the release of 4.3, obviously the merge window for 4.4 is open, and let's keep our fingers crossed that that will be an equally calm release." 4.3 includes the ability to add BPF programs to user-space probes, the "PIDs controller" (an anti-fork-bomb measure), the removal of the ext3 filesystem, support for identifier locator addressing, the ability to handle page faults in user space, and more.
