Linus Torvalds announced the release of the second RC version of Linux Kernel 5.7.
He commented in the announcement that everything still looks normal, and the commit count is exactly as expected for the rc2 version. And most of the changes are minor and do n’t look terrible at all. In fact, about 30% of the patches are tooling, and most of the reason is because the x86 system call table is resynchronized with the main kernel side, so the difference is large.
"In addition, we also provide driver fixes (Ethernet stands out, in addition to network, GPU, sound, hwmon, i2c, clk ...), file systems (afs, btrfs, xfs, ext4, cifs , Proc), documentation, network and arch fixes, and some other minor updates ". Linus said, "Nothing is really exciting, everything is fine."
It is worth noting that this week also fixed the problem that Linux 5.7-rc1 cannot boot on EFI systems.
