| Comprehensible changelog of the linux kernel. This page shows a summary of the important changes being added in each linux kernel release - support for new devices, new features (filesystems, subsystems), important internal changes, etc. While this text is aimed to be (unlike the full changelog) readable, it's obvious that some parts will not be comprehensible for those who don't know a lot about kernel internals, just like it happens in every software project. Other places to get news about the linux kernel are [http://lwn.net/Kernel/ LWN kernel status], [http://lwn.net/Articles/driver-porting/ LWN driver porting guide], [http://lwn.net/Articles/2.6-kernel-api/ LWN list of API changes in 2.6], or [http://www.lkml.org www.lkml.org]. If you're going to add something here look first at LinuxChangesRules! | #pragma keywords Linux, Kernel, Operating System, Linus Torvalds, Open Source, drivers, filesystems, network, memory management, scheduler, preemption, locking #pragma description Summary of the changes and new features merged in the Linux Kernel during the 2.6.x and 3.x development Changes done in each Linux kernel release.

| ==== 2.6.17 ==== * Released 17 June, 2006 * Overview * Support for the multicore Niagara series of CPUs from Sun. * Driver for the Broadcom 43xx based wireless cards by the [http://bcm43xx.berlios.de bcm43xx project], a chip embedded in [http://linux-bcom4301.sourceforge.net/go/hardware many laptops] * splice, a new I/O mechanism (see below) * X86 "SMP alternatives" (optimizes a single kernel image at runtime according with the available platform) [http://lwn.net/Articles/164121/ (LWN article)] * New scheduler domain which optimizes CPU scheduling decisions for multi-core CPUs * sync_file_range syscall, [http://lwn.net/Articles/178199/ (LWN article)] * Block queue IO tracing * Raid5 reshaping support [http://lwn.net/Articles/169140/ (LWN article)] * Lightweight robust futexes [http://lwn.net/Articles/172149/ (LWN article)] * User-space software suspend interface * Generic RTC subsystem * iptables support for H.323 protocol, compatibility for 32-bit iptables userspace tools running in a 64-bit kernel * Add support for Router Preference (RFC4191), Router Reachability Probing (RFC4191) and experimental support for Route Information Option in RA (RFC4191) in IPV6 * CCID2 support for DCCP * Softmac layer to the wireless stack * Updates for JFS, ALSA, NFS, V4L/DVB (many new devices added), and many bugfixes and minor updates. * '''Kernel Core changes''' * Introduce the splice(), tee() and vmsplice() system calls, a new I/O method. [http://lwn.net/Articles/178199/ (LWN article about splice())], [http://lwn.net/Articles/179492/ (LWN article about tee())], [http://lwn.net/Articles/181169/ (LWN article about vmsplice())] The idea behind splice is the availability of a in-kernel buffer that the user has control over, where "splice()" moves data to/from the buffer from/to an arbitrary file descriptor, while "tee()" copies the data in one buffer to another, ie: it "duplicates" it. The in-buffer however is implemented as a set of reference-counted pointers which the kernel copies around without actually copying the data. So while tee() "duplicates" the in-kernel buffer, in practice it doesn't copy the data but increments the reference pointers, avoiding extra copies of the data. In the same way, splice() can move data from one end to another, but instead of bringing the data from the source to the process' memory and sending back to the destination it just moves it avoiding the extra copy. This new scheme can be used anywhere where a process needs to send something from one end to another, but it doesn't need to touch or even look at the data, just forward it: Avoiding extra copies of data means you don't waste time copying data around (huge performance improvement). For example, you could forward data that comes from a MPEG-4 hardware encoder, and tee() it to duplicate the stream, and write one of the streams to disk, and the other one to a socket for a real-time network broadcast. Again, all without actually physically copying it around in memory. vmsplice() does the same than splice(), but instead of splicing from fd to fd as splice() does, it splices from a user address range into a file. The idea and first implementation were done by Linus Torvalds, the final implementation by Jens Axboe [http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110507985702357&w=2 (email 1)], [http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110511497731192&w=2 (email 2)], [http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110511787707447&w=2 (email 3)], [http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=114547247100565&w=2 (email 4)], [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=5274f052e7b3dbd81935772eb551dfd0325dfa9d (commit 1)], [http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=70524490ee2ea1bbf6cee6c106597b3ac25a3fc2 (commit 2)], [http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=3a326a2ce88e71d00ac0d133e314a3342a7709f8 (commit 3)] * Introduce the sync_file_range() syscall, due to concerns about extending in non-POSIX-compatible ways the fadvise() interface. Interface: long sync_file_range(int fd, loff_t offset, loff_t nbytes, int flags). This is used to synchronize a file's data to disk, starting at offset and proceeding for nbytes bytes. More details in [http://lwn.net/Articles/178199/ (this LWN article)] [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=f79e2abb9bd452d97295f34376dedbec9686b986 (commit)] * Add a new scheduler domain for representing multi-core with shared caches between cores. This makes possible to make smarter cpu scheduling decisions on such systems, improving performance greatly for some cases (see commit) [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=1e9f28fa1eb9773bf65bae08288c6a0a38eef4a7 (commit)] * Lightweight robust futexes: if a process exits prematurely while holding a pthread_mutex_t lock shared with some other process (e.g. yum segfaults or it's kill -9-ed), then waiters for that lock need to be notified that the last owner of the lock exited in some irregular way. This creates a API to fix that [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/robust-futexes.txt Documentation], [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=Documentation/robust-futex-ABI.txt ABI documentation], [http://lwn.net/Articles/172149/ (LWN article)] [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e9056f13bfcdd054a0c3d730e4e096748d8a363a (commit 1)], [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0771dfefc9e538f077d0b43b6dec19a5a67d0e70 (commit 2)], [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=dfd4e3ec246355274c9cf62c6b04a1ee6fa3caba (commit 3)] * Block queue IO tracing support (blktrace). This allows users to see any traffic happening on a block device queue. In other words, you can get very detailed statistics of what your disks are doing. User space support tools available in: git://brick.kernel.dk/data/git/blktrace.git [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=2056a782f8e7e65fd4bfd027506b4ce1c5e9ccd4 (commit)] * Cpuset memory spread implementation: Alternative memory allocation policy, if enabled it spreads out these kinds of memory allocations over all the nodes allowed to a task, instead of preferring to place them on the node where the task is executing. All other kinds of allocations, including anonymous pages for a tasks stack and data regions, are not affected by this policy choice, and continue to be allocated preferring the node local to execution, as modified by the NUMA mempolicy [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=825a46af5ac171f9f41f794a0a00165588ba1589 (commit 1)], [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=44110fe385af23ca5eee8a6ad4ff55d50339097a (commit 2)], [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=4b6a9316fab51af611dc8671f296734089f6a22a (commit 3)], [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=101a50019ae5e370d73984ee05d56dd3b08f330a (commit 4)] * Introduce a user space interface for swsusp [http://lwn.net/Articles/153203/ (LWN article)] [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=6e1819d615f24ce0726a7d0bd3dd0152d7b21654 (commit)], [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=f577eb30afdc68233f25d4d82b04102129262365 (commit)] * Implement /proc/slab_allocators [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=871751e25d956ad24f129ca972b7851feaa61d53 (commit)] * New /proc file /proc/self/mountstats, where mounted file systems can export information (configuration options, performance counters, and so on) [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=b4629fe2f094b719847f31be1ee5ab38300038b2 (commit)] * Enable mprotect on huge pages [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=8f860591ffb29738cf5539b6fbf27f50dcdeb380 (commit)] * Various core changes * CONFIG_UNWIND_INFO: Generates frame unwind information [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=604bf5a216e7f2d97cdf62614ca1281921531040 (commit)] * Reduce the size of (struct fdtable) to exactly 64 bytes on 32bits platforms, lowering kmalloc() allocated space by 50% [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0c9e63fd38a2fb2181668a0cdd622a3c23cfd567 (commit)] * Optimize select/poll by putting small data sets on the stack instead of using kmalloc for small fd sets, an old optimization from Linux 2.0 [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=70674f95c0a2ea694d5c39f4e514f538a09be36f (commit)] * Deprecate the use of MS_VERBOSE and replace it with MS_SILENT [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=9b04c997b1120feefa1e6ee8e2902270bc055cd2 (commit)] * Add API for flushing Anon pages [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=03beb07664d768db97bf454ae5c9581cd4737bb4 (commit)] * Add flush_kernel_dcache_page() API [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=5a3a5a98b6422d05c39eaa32c8b3f83840c7b768 (commit)] * Add blkcnt_t as the type of inode.i_blocks. This enables you to make the size of blkcnt_t either 4 bytes or 8 bytes on 32 bits architecture with CONFIG_LSF. On h8300, i386, mips, powerpc, s390 and sh that define sector_t, blkcnt_t is defined as u64 if CONFIG_LSF is enabled; otherwise it is defined as unsigned long. On other architectures, it is defined as unsigned long [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=a0f62ac6362c168754cccb36f196b3dfbddc3bc3 (commit)] * for_each_possible_cpu: defines for_each_possible_cpu, a for-loop over cpu_possible_map. for_each_online_cpu is for-loop cpu over cpu_online_map [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=631d6747e1d877a4baa924cb373b8b9511a53e5e (commit)] * unify page_to_pfn(),pfn_to_page() [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=a117e66ed45ac0569c039ea60bd7a9a61e031858 (commit)] * Notifier chain: Introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is really just the old API under a new name) [http://lwn.net/Articles/185500 LWN article)] [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e041c683412d5bf44dc2b109053e3b837b71742d (commit)] * add EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL_FUTURE(): This patch adds the ability to mark symbols that will be changed in the future, so that kernel modules that don't include MODULE_LICENSE("GPL") and use the symbols, will be flagged and printed out to the system log [http://lwn.net/Articles/171838/ (LWN article)] [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=9f28bb7e1d0188a993403ab39b774785892805e1 (commit)] * Permit Dual-MIT/GPL licenses [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=7529c301165079d0f149d0e54724829e602f8fc0 (commit)] * CFQ: Seek and async performance tuning [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=206dc69b31ca05baac68c75b8ed2ba7dd857d273 (commit)], change cfq io context linking from list to tree: Improves performance on setups with many disks [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e2d74ac0664c89757bde8fb18c98cd7bf53da61c (commit)] * Remove RTC UIP synchronization [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=63732c2f37093d63102d53e70866cf87bf0c0479 (commit)] * Introduce FMODE_EXEC file flag, to indicate that file is being opened for execution. This is useful for distributed filesystems to maintain consistent behavior for returning ETXTBUSY when opening for write and execution happens on different nodes [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=b500531e6f5f234ed267bd7060ee06d144faf0ca (commit)] * strndup_user(): a function to easy copying C strings from userspace [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=96840aa00a031069a136ec4c55d0bdd09ac6d3a7 (commit)] * msync(): perform dirty page levelling [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=9c50823eebf7c256b92b4e0f02b5fb30e97788c2 (commit)] * kbuild: Improved modversioning support for external modules [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=040fcc819a2e7783a570f4bdcdd1f2a7f5f06837 (commit)] and support building individual files for external modules [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=06300b21f4c79fd1578f4b7ca4b314fbab61a383 (commit)] * Mark unwind info for signal trampolines using the new S augmentation flag in recent GCCs [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=da2e9e1ff40c863a12803c32209baaded3512433 (commit)] * vt: Add TIOCL_GETKMSGREDIRECT needed by the userland suspend tool to get the current value of kmsg_redirect from the kernel so that it can save it and restore it after resume [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0ca07731e495584bd84dca15a0f065470d594ec4 (commit)] * Removes the support for pps [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=5ddcfa878d5b10b0ab94251a4229a8a9daaf93ed (commit)] * Configurable NODES_SHIFT [http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=c80d79d746cc48bd94b0ce4f6d4f3c90cd403aaf (commit)] * slab: add statistics for alien cache overflows [http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=fb7faf3313d527bf68ba2e7ff3a2b6ebf201af73 (commit)] * Add GFP_NOWAIT, an alias for GFP_ATOMIC & ~__GFP_HIGH [http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=7b04d7170e9af805cac19f97b28fff10db897893 (commit)] * '''Architecture-specific''' * x86 32/64 * SMP "alternatives" for x86-32. This features detects the configuration of the system at boot time, and patches certain instructions in the kernel image on the fly with optimized versions for UP or SMP, depending on what system is running. This is useful for distros, who can provide a single kernel which auto-optimizes itself for UP or SMP environments. The feature can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP. The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug (which may be useful in virtualized environments to hot-add/remove CPUs in virtualized guests in reaction to load changes in the host) [http://lwn.net/Articles/164121/ (LWN article)] [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=9a0b5817ad97bb718ab85322759d19a238712b47 (commit)] * Make CONFIG_REGPARM enabled by default. With this option, GCC passes the first 3 function parameters in registers. It's a noticeable win both for size and for performance, and gcc[34] handles it correctly [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=b824eb605ccba995fd32c6590aed365f93d48002 (commit)] * Use -mtune=generic for generic kernels. The upcoming gcc 4.2 got a new option -mtune=generic to tune code for both common AMD and Intel CPUs. Use this option when available for generic kernels. On x86-64 it is used with CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU. On i386 it is enabled with CONFIG_X86_GENERIC. It won't affect the base line CPU support in any ways and also not the minimum supported CPU [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=dca99a38bccceda9e079d4c95abefbd9028605fe (commit)] * Increase the variability of the process stack on x86-64 for now. 8 MB is not really very random, use 1GB (or more with larger page sizes) instead[http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=913bd906019514579b3c7ec5ab9c463e89207a57 (commit)] * Allow disabling the "sep" feature (X86_FEATURE_SEP) at boot.

1. Prominent features
1.1. Intel FRED enabled by default
FRED (Fast Return and Event Delivery) is a new architecture on newer Intel processors that defines simple new transitions that change privilege level (ring transitions). It is a replacement for IDT event delivery on x86 and addresses most of the technical nightmares which IDT exposes, improving overall performance and response time.
This feature is supported on Linux since Linux 6.9. This release enables it by default.
1.2. New clone3() flags, for better pidfd-based process management
This release adds three new flags to the clone3(2) system call:
CLONE_AUTOREAP: makes a child process auto-reap on exit without ever becoming a zombie
CLONE_NNP: sets no_new_privs on the child at clone time
CLONE_PIDFD_AUTOKILL: ties a child's lifetime to the pidfd returned from clone3()
Recommended LWN article: As ye clone(), so shall ye AUTOREAP
1.3. BPF-powered io_uring
The io_uring interface allows to asynchronously do I/O requests. There is still, however, a need to switch to userspace in order to process the results. This release introduces a way to override the standard io_uring_enter(2) syscall execution with an extendible event loop, which can be controlled by BPF via new io_uring struct_ops or from within the kernel.
Recommended LWN article: BPF comes to io_uring at last
1.4. New NTFS implementation
This release contains a newer and improved NTFS implementation, which should make sharing data with other operating systems easier
Recommended LWN article: A new NTFS
1.5. Easier container management with new flags to fsmount(2), clone3(2) and unshare(2)
This release adds FSMOUNT_NAMESPACE flag to fsmount() that creates a new mount namespace with the newly created filesystem attached to a copy of the real rootfs. This returns a namespace file descriptor instead of an O_PATH mount fd, similar to how OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE works for open_tree().
This allows creating a new filesystem and immediately placing it in a new mount namespace in a single operation, which is useful for container runtimes and other namespace-based isolation mechanisms. This accompanies OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE and avoids a needless detour via OPEN_TREE_NAMESPACE to get the same effect. Will be especially useful when you mount an actual filesystem to be used as the container rootfs.
This release also adds support for creating a mount namespace that contains only a clone of the root mount, with none of the child mounts: CLONE_EMPTY_MNTNS in clone3(), and UNSHARE_EMPTY_MNTNS for unshare(2).
1.6. sched_ext sub-scheduler support
The sched_ext scheduling class, which allows to use BPF-powered task scheduling algorithms, has been extended to add support for sub-schedulers. The purpose of this feature is to eventually allow (in future releases) using different schedulers in different cgroups.
1.7. Swap table phase III: remove swap_map
As part of the swap table series that aims to improve swap performance, this release introduces the code for the 3rd phase of the series (1st, 2nd).
This phase removes the static swap_map and uses the swap table for the swap count directly. This saves about ~30% memory usage for the static swap metadata. For example, this saves 256MB of memory when mounting a 1TB swap device. Performance is slightly better too, since the double update of the swap table and swap_map is now gone.
Recommended LWN article: Modernizing swapping: the end of the swap map
1.8. Support for user.* extended attributes on sockets
This release adds support for user.* xattrs on sockets. Path-based AF_UNIX sockets inherit xattr support from the underlying filesystem (e.g. tmpfs) but sockets in sockfs - that is everything created via socket() including abstract namespace AF_UNIX sockets - had no xattr support at all.
The practical motivation comes from several directions. With user.* xattrs on sockets a Varlink service can label its socket with the IPC protocol it speaks (e.g., user.varlink=1) and an eBPF program can then selectively capture traffic on those sockets. Enumerating bound sockets via netlink combined with these xattr labels gives a way to discover all Varlink IPC entrypoints for debugging and introspection. Similarly, systemd-journald wants to use xattrs on the /dev/log socket for protocol negotiation. In containers these labels are particularly useful as high-privilege or more complicated solutions for socket identification aren't available.
1.9. Support networking HW queue leasing
This release adds the concept of queue leasing to virtual netdevs that allow containers to use memory providers and AF_XDP at native speed. Leased queues are bound to a real queue in a physical netdev and act as a proxy.
