Summer push proved less disruptive than feared
Linus Torvalds has decided the time is right to give the world a new version of the Linux kernel,"Nothing particularly odd or scary happened this last week, so there is no excuse to delay the 6.5 release," he wrote."I still have this nagging feeling that a lot of people are on vacation and that things have been quiet partly due to that.
For the record, Torvalds has worried about the impact of Northern summer on this release ever since release candidate one debuted way back in theWhatever the reason for this release appearing on schedule, with no notable ructions, it has produced a version of the kernel unlikely to be regarded as particularly significant.
Intel CPUs that blend performance and efficiency cores have also gained improved load balancing, which should to get the most out of Chipzilla silicon based on the Alder Lake architecture. The kernel also added tools to bring CPUs into operation in parallel – a boost for boot times on multisocket servers, which is relevant for hyperscalers.
Speaking of hyperscalers, China's Alibaba will be pleased that the kernel improved support for its homebrew T-Head Xuantie 910 TH1520 RISC-V 64-bit processor. T-Head, Alibaba's chip design house, suggests the Xuantie 910 will find its home in servers running AI workloads, 5G equipment, and edge servers. Running Linux is arguably a prerequisite for success in any of those roles. Also in version 6.5, USB 4.2 makes its initial appearance, albeit without full support.
