Update to Linux Kernel 4.10 rc7 on Ubuntu Systems. Linux Kernel 4.10 rc7 is released with driver fixes and improvements related to networking, GPU and HID accounts. Announcing the release, Linus said:
Anyway, rc7 is pretty small, with about half being driver fixes (networking, GPU and HID accounts for most of it), 20% arch updates (x86, sparc powerp, some arm64 crypto) and the rest is “misc”: filesystems, generic networking, VM, genksyms scripting etc. It’s all fairly small, and nothing particularly stands out (apart from me being reminded once more about how much I hate modversions – we hit another random architecture-specific tooling bug that was triggered by it). Shortlog appended for the people who want to get an overview of the details.
