Linux 7.1 has been released on Sun, 14 June 2026.

Summary:

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
