Linux Kernel 5.2 RC7 Released – Update Kernel on Ubuntu

Linux Kernel 5.2 RC7 Released – Update Kernel on Ubuntu – Users can install and update Linux Kernel on Ubuntu Systems.

With the release of Linux Kernel 5.2 RC7, there’s a “Fix the microcode load on CPU hotplug for real” and “Fix out-of-bounds read when setting fail state” for those using CPU hot-plugging. There are of course a lot of other bug-fixes and improvements since rc6 but most appear to be rather trivial. https://linuxreviews.org/Linux_Kernel_5.2_rc7_Released_using_a_Shoe-String_Internet_Connection

Announcing the release of Linux 5.2-rc7, Linus Torvalds, writes:

It’s Sunday afternoon _somewhere_ in the world right now. In particular, in the middle of nowhere on a boat. I didn’t expect to have any internet this week, and honestly, I haven’t had much, and not fast. But enough to keep up with critical pull requests, and enough to push out an rc. But credit for the internet goes to Disk Hohndel and vmware, because I’m mooching off his phone hotspot WiFi to do this. Anyway, It’s been _fairly_ calm. Would I have hoped for even calmer with my crappy internet? Sure. But hey, it’s a lot smaller than rc6 was and I’m not really complaining. All small and fairly uninteresting. Arch updates, networking, core kernel, filesystems, misc drivers. Nothing stands out – just read the appended shortlog. It’s small enough to be easy to just scroll through.” https://lwn.net/Articles/792410/
