Kernel prepatch 5.5-rc1
Kernel prepatch 5.5-rc1
Linus has released the 5.5-rc1 kernel
prepatch and closed the merge window for this development cycle. "Everything looks fairly regular - it's a tiny bit larger (in commit
counts) than the few last merge windows have been, but not bigger
enough to really raise any eyebrows. And there's nothing particularly
odd in there either that I can think of: just a bit over half of the
patch is drivers, with the next big area being arch updates. Which is
pretty much the rule for how things have been forever by now.
Outside of that, the documentation and tooling (perf and selftests)
updates stand out, but that's actually been a common pattern for a
while now too, so it's not really surprising either.
