Linux Kernel 3.10.79 LTS is a small release that fixes a few issues with the ARM architectures, repairs bugs in the NILFS2 and OCFS2 filesystems, addresses a problem with the OSS sound server, and updates several drivers, especially for GPIO, APCI, MMC, PINCTRL, and Intel i915. As usual, all users are urged to upgrade to Linux kernel 3.10.79 LTS as soon as the package becomes available in the main software repositories of their GNU/Linux operating systems.
