Linux 4.4 Released

Written By

Linus Torvalds
Jan 10, 2016 
Nothing untoward happened this week, so Linux-4.4 is out in all theusual  places.The changes since rc8 aren't big. There's about one third archupdates, one third drivers, and one third "misc" (mainly some corekernel and networking), But it's all small. Notable might beunbreaking the x86-32 "sysenter" ABI, when somebody(*cough*android-x86*cough*) misused it by not using the vdso andinstead using the instruction directly.Full shortlog appended for people who care or are just curious.And with this, the merge window for 4.5 is obviously open, even if Iwon't start actually pulling until tomorrow.
