The 4.14 kernel has been released
The 4.14 kernel has been released after a ten-week development cycle. Some of the most prominent features in this release include the ORC unwinder for more reliable tracebacks and live patching, the long-awaited thread mode for control groups, support for AMD's secure memory encryption, five-level page table support, a new zero-copy networking feature, the heterogeneous memory management subsystem, and more. See the Kernel Newbies 4.14 page for more information. In the end, nearly 13,500 changesets were merged for 4.14, which is slated to be the next long-term-support kernel.
For the maintainers out there, it's worth noting Linus's warning that the 4.15 merge window might be rather shorter than usual due to the US Thanksgiving Holiday.
