Linux Kernel 6.7 Release is Loaded With Fixes and a New Filesystem
|
||||||
|
======
|
||||||
|
One of the biggest Linux Kernel releases, packed with fixes and a couple
|
||||||
|
of new things.
|
||||||
|
A new year, a new Linux Kernel release!🎉
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We start 2024 with the **Linux kernel 6.7 release** that sees the introduction of many improvements, including some that were left out with the previous release.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Linus Torvalds mentions the little delay because of holidays in the [announcement][1]:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> So we had a little bit more going on last week compared to the holiday
|
||||||
|
> week before that, but certainly not enough to make me think we'd want
|
||||||
|
> to delay this any further.
|
||||||
|
>
|
||||||
|
> End result: 6.7 is (in number of commits: over 17k non-merge commits,
|
||||||
|
> with 1k+ merges) one of the largest kernel releases we've ever had,
|
||||||
|
> but the extra rc8 week was purely due to timing with the holidays, not
|
||||||
|
> about any difficulties with the larger release.

## 🆕 Linux Kernel 6.7: What's New?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Being **a non-LTS release** , you don't have to upgrade to Linux Kernel 6.7, unless you are chasing the bleeding edge of what Linux has to offer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So, keeping that in mind, let's take a look at the **key highlights** of this release:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* **Intel Improvements**
|
||||||
|
* **Better RISC-V Support**
|
||||||
|
* **AMD-specific Enhancements**
|
||||||
|
* **Many Storage Improvements**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Intel Improvements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][3]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We start off with Intel's [Meteor Lake][4] processors. **Linux Kernel 6.7 has native support for Intel Meteor Lake Graphics**. Earlier, the support was behind the _experimental_ curtain. But now, you can take advantage of it properly on laptops equipped with first generation [Core Ultra][5] processors.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Initial groundwork was also laid for Intel's upcoming [Arrow Lake][6] and Lunar Lake chips in [Turbostat][7], a CLI utility for monitoring processor frequency, idle statistics, and more.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
However, there has been the removal of some support too.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
With Linux kernel 6.7, **support for Intel Itanium IA-64 has been dropped**. This was already in the works for quite some time, but now, it is finally done.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Better RISC-V Support
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][8]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The highlight with RISC-V has been the **introduction of a software shadow call stack** that aims to protect the CPU architecture against accidents and malicious actions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Additionally, **support for cbo.zero in userspace** , **CBOs in ACPI-based systems** , and many other misc fixes were also made. This [merge][9] has additional information.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also read up on what a [Shadow Stack][10] is for learning more about its uses.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### AMD-specific Enhancements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
AMD's **seamless boot functionality has been extended to GPUs which support Display Core Next 3.0 and later**. This includes Radeon RDNA2/RDNA3, and any future GPUs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This feature results in **a smooth transition into the system without the usual flickering of the screen** that follows a power button press. Previously, this support was only enabled for AMD's Van Gogh series of APUs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then there's the **implementation of error detection and correction** ([EDAC][11]) for the [Versal][12] line of SoCs that adds an EDAC driver for the RAS features on the integrated Xilinx DDR memory controllers.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can learn more about its implementation in the [commit][13], and kudos to [Phoronix][14] for spotting that.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Many Storage Improvements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
![][16]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We finally see the introduction of the [Bcachefs][17] file system with Linux kernel 6.7. For those who don't know, it is **a copy-on-write (COW) file system** that focuses on reliability and robustness.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Moreover, there are **three new features with Btrfs** , **support for larger page sizes with F2FS** , and even **IBM Journaled File-System (JFS) sees a few improvements**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### 🛠️ Other Changes & Improvements
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We wrap this one up with some other notable changes:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Removal of support for the [MIPS AR7][18] platform.
|
||||||
|
* Various improvements to **x86 CPU microcode loading**.
|
||||||
|
* **MicroLZMA compression** is now considered stable on [EROFS][19].
|
||||||
|
* Better support for the **RISC-V powered** [Milk-V Pioneer][20] board.
|
||||||
|
* Inclusion of **Nouveau GPU System Processor (GSP)** that paves the way for a better experience on Nvidia's “Turing” and newer GPUs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For a brief look into the technical changes, refer to the [shortlog][1] or wait for the changelog to be available on [The Kernel Archives][21].

||||||

||||||
|
## Installing Linux Kernel 6.7
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For those running a rolling-release distro such as Arch or Fedora, you can expect an upgrade soon enough after some testing by the distro devs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For others, you could either play the waiting game, or **upgrade to the latest mainline Linux kernel on Ubuntu** by following our handy guide:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
🚧
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We do not recommend you to upgrade the Linux kernel manually unless you really need to resolve some issue.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can source the tarball for the latest Linux kernel release from the [official website][21]. Just keep in mind that it takes some time for the latest release to be available.
