Linux Kernel 3.12.6 / 3.10.25 / 3.4.75

Linux Kernel 3.12.6 / 3.10.25 / 3.4.75 Description

Linux Kernel is the essential part of Linux, responsible for resource allocation, low-level hardware interfaces, security, simple communications, and basic file system management.Linux is a clone of the operating system Unix, written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance.It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged Unix, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, and multistack networking including IPv4 and IPv6. What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]As some people noticed, I got distracted ("Ooh, look, a squirrel..") and never wrote an announcement for -rc7. My bad. But it wasn't actually all that interesting a release apart from the date, and it had a silly compile error in ohci-pci if you hadn't enabled CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME, so we'll just forget -rc7 ever happened, ok? Instead, go and get the real 3.11 release, which is out there, all shiny and ready to be compiled and loved.Since rc7 (ok, I lied, it happened) there's been just small fixes. Most of them came in from the networking tree, but there's some all over: some random filesystem fixes, a couple of sound fixes, a /proc/timer_list fix, things like that. Nothing really stands out (unless you happened to use the new soft-dirty code, that had a buglet that could really hurt), but let's hope we don't have some silly configuration that doesn't even compile this time around. �.You can free download Linux Kernel 3.12.6 / 3.10.25 / 3.4.75 from Softpedia now.
