The 4.16 kernel is out

Linus has released the 4.16 kernel, as expected. "We had a number of fixes and cleanups elsewhere, but none of it made me go 'uhhuh, better let this soak for another week'". Some of the headline changes in this release include initial support for the Jailhouse hypervisor, the usercopy whitelisting hardening patches, some improvements to the deadline scheduler and, of course, a lot of Meltdown and Spectre mitigation work.
