Linux 2.6.32
,----[ Quote ]
| This release _feels_ long overdue due to
| two empty weeks for me (kernel summit and
| thanksgiving week vacation), but it's
| actually less than three months since
| 2.6.31, so I guess it's actually not that
| far off the normal schedule.
|
| I've been merging a few things that were
| pending while I was offline, but it really
| seems to have been pretty quiet. The
| biggest thing since -rc8 is the horribly
| timed stability fixes for fscache, which
| caused some hickups and I really wish it
| hadn't happened that way, but apart from
| that it's mainly small updates (and mainly
| drivers).

What's new in Linux 2.6.32
,----[ Quote ]
| 3D support for newer Radeon graphics chips,
| better use of power saving features offered
| by the latest hardware and numerous
| enhancements to KVM and Btrfs are some of
| the outstanding items among the many
| thousands of changes undertaken for the
| latest kernel version. Various other
| improvements should also make Linux 2.6.32
| more reactive and as a result, feel faster.

| The Linux Foundation, in that world,
| provides a role in educating consumer
| electronics vendors on how to participate
| in the Linux kernel development process and
| how to get their device supported in that
| world. Iâll be in Korea and Japan next week
| to educate people there on the benefits of
| this very participation. Weâve been
| swimmingly successful in bringing people
| into these efforts. The community has been
| excellent at getting that support.

Kernel Log: Coming in 2.6.32 (Part 6): Infrastructure
,----[ Quote ]
| Devtmpfs, aka 'devfs 2.0' to its
| detractors, should allow the Linux kernel
| to start faster and run without udev.
| Support has been added for ACPI 4.0 and
| there are two new make targets which
| generate kernel configurations attuned to
| the running system. Changes to the power
| management subsystem increase data
| throughput and allow better use of runtime
| power saving features on modern I/O
| devices.

Linux 2.6.32 Kernel Benchmarks
,----[ Quote ]
| With the Linux 2.6.32 kernel being released
| in a few days, we found it time to
| benchmark this newest kernel release that
| brings new drivers, kernel mode-setting
| improvements, virtualization enhancements,
| and more.
|
| [...]
|
| While there are just nine test results
| shown in this article, we have been running
| more Linux 2.6.32 kernel tests on other
| systems and with more test profiles.
| Besides the performance drops when using
| EXT4 and then a few encoding improvements,
| we have not encountered many performance-
| related changes with the Linux 2.6.32
| kernel.
