Linus Torvalds: Linux 5.19-rc2


![]()
>
It's Sunday afternoon, so it must be time for another release candidate.
As usual, rc2 is fairly small, and there isn't really a ton going on
here. Fixes spread all over, and the diffstat is fairly flat apart
from a few notable things that had bigger changes: some amdgpu fixes,
the xen stub iommu driver, and some ceph and zonefs fixes. The rest is
all pretty much one- or few-liners spread out mostly everywhere.
And yes, because I expected the rc2 week to be fairly quiet, I did a
system update on my workstation, and as a result I spent a day or two
then sorting out most of the fallout from the resulting compiler
upgrade to gcc-12. Some of it ended up being a bit heavy-handed, and
we'll be tweaking things further. And some of it ends up being an
actual compiler misfeature, but it's being discussed too and is
limited to just one file on the 32-bit i386 side (and does not seem to
result in any actual bad code, just excessive stack use).
Anyway, nothing hugely scary going on, let's just keep testing and
fixing things.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future Tech
The metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world.
Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility.
