Linux 内核 6.6 版本莅临,带来诸多变化
======
![][0]
> 笔记本的支持得到了提升,服务器性能得到了改进,更多内容一一揭晓。
又到了迎接 Linux 内核新版本发布的时刻!
Linux 内核 6.6 的发布,是一次大规模更新,针对各类笔记本、网络硬件、处理器等提供了**大量全方位的改良**。
Linus Torvalds [表示][1]
> 各种各样的修复散布各处,除了针对 r8152 驱动的一些重要修复外,其它的都相当小型。下面是上周的简短日志,供所有想要一探究竟、了解更多细节的读者。日志篇幅短小,可以快速翻阅。
### 🆕 Linux 内核 6.6:都有哪些新元素?
在我们开始之前,需要提醒大家,这一次发布的是**非长期支持版本**,因此不是每个人都必须进行升级,除非你想要享受最新、最棒的版本。
总的来说,让我们来看看这次发布版本的亮点:
* 针对英特尔芯片的优化
* 对笔记本的更佳支持
* 网络改进
* AMD 芯片性能提升
#### 针对英特尔芯片的优化
![][3]
Linux 内核 6.6 版本新增了对英特尔的**神经处理单元NPU**的**支持**,这样的技术原先被称作通用处理器。
这项技术预计将于今年晚些时候,随着英特尔的“[Meteor Lake][4]”芯片亮相而首次公开登场。这些 **NPU 将被专门用于处理人工智能工作负载**
英特尔甚至已经开始对即将发布的 “**Arrow Lake**”芯片进行**NPU 支持的初步工作**了!
此外,还新增了对英特尔的 [Shadow Stack][5] 的支持,因为他们的 [控制流执行技术][6]CET被引入到了内核中。其主要目的是防止现代英特尔 CPU从 Tiger Lake 起)上的**返回导向编程ROP攻击**。
#### 对笔记本的更佳支持
![][8]
**对于惠普笔记本,现在你可以直接在 Linux 中对 BIOS 进行管理了**,这要归功于 “**HP-BIOSCFG**” 驱动的实现。
根据报道,**从 2018 年起出产的惠普笔记本应该都可以支持这个驱动程序**。
**对于联想笔记本,驱动程序已经更新,为更多的 IdeaPad 笔记本**添加了键盘背光控制**。
同样,**对于华硕笔记本**,现在 [ROG Flow X16][9]2023 年款)游戏笔记本,当屏幕翻转时可以**正确地启用平板模式**。
#### 网络改进
![][10]
在网络方面Linux 内核 6.6 版本带来了对如 [Atheros QCA8081][11]、**MediaTek MT7988**、**MediaTek MT7981**[NXP TJA1120 PHY][12] 等新型硬件的**支持**。
同时,各类驱动程序也进行了升级,例如 **高通 Wi-Fi 7 ath12k驱动程序**,它现在**支持 Extremely High ThroughputEHTPHY**。
此外,针对各类 Realtekrtl8xxxuWi-Fi 芯片**启用了 AP 模式**。
关于特定于网络的变动,你可以在这个 [拉取请求][13] 中查阅更多的详细信息。
#### AMD 芯片的性能提升
![][14]
随着 Linux 内核 6.6 的发布AMD 的开发人员推出了**两项尚未正式公开的新技术的支持**。
一项技术是对他们即将推出的 “**FreeSync Panel Replay**” 技术的支持,这一技术只用于游戏笔记本抖动屏,可以自动降低刷新率以节省电力和降低 GPU 工作负载。
另一项技术被称为 “**动态提速控制**”,这是一项能够**提高某些 Ryzen SoC 性能的功能**,但关于它的更多细节比较少。
关于它的实施,你可以在这个 [补丁序列][15] 中查阅更多的信息。
#### 🛠️ 其他的变化与改进
其他方面,还包括一些值得注意的变动:
* 针对 **龙芯** 的大量新特性。
* **Rust 工具链** 升级至 v1.71.1 版本。
* 对 **RISC-V****Btrfs** 的多项改进。
* 完全移除了 [无线 USB][16] 和 [**Ultra-Wideband**][17] 的代码。
* 对 **英伟达**、**英特尔** 和 **AMD** 的**开源图形驱动程序** 的众多优化。
你可以在 [更新日志][18] 中查阅更详细的信息。
### 安装 Linux 内核 6.6 版本
如果你的体验是像 Arch 或 Fedora 那类的滚动发行版,升级过程非常简单。
你只需要稍等片刻,因为这些发行版在发布更新时需要一些时间。
对于其他的用户,你可以等待主要版本更新,或者**根据我们的指南在 Ubuntu 中升级至最新的主线 Linux 内核**
> **[在 Ubuntu 上安装最新的主线 Linux 内核][19]**
你可以在 [官方网站][20] 下载最新的 Linux 内核的 tarball _发布后可能需要些时间才能得到_
💬 你对这次内核发布有何想法?

Linux Kernel 6.6 Arrives With Numerous Refinements
======
Improved laptop support, server improvements, and more.
It is time for another Linux kernel release!
The Linux kernel 6.6 release is a big one with **plenty of improvements across the board** for various laptops, networking hardware, processors and what not.
Linus Torvalds [mentions][1]:
_There's a random smattering of fixes all over, and apart from some
bigger fixes to the r8152 driver, it's all fairly small. Below is the
shortlog for last week for anybody who really wants to get a flavor of
the details. It's short enough to scroll through._
**Suggested Read** 📖
![][2]
## 🆕 Linux Kernel 6.6: What's New?
Before we begin, just keep in mind that this is **a non-LTS release** , so not everyone is required to upgrade, unless they want the latest and greatest.
Anyway, let's move on to the highlights of this release:
* **Intel Improvements**
* **Better Support for Laptops**
* **Networking Improvements**
* **AMD Enhancements**
### Intel Improvements
![][3]
Linux kernel 6.6 features **support for Intel's Neural Processing Unit** ( **NPU** ) technology, which was formerly known as the Versatile Processing Unit.
This tech is **set to debut with Intel's “[ **Meteor Lake**][4]” chips** later this year that will see these **NPUs exclusively being used for handling AI workloads**.
Intel has even begun the **initial work for NPU support** on the upcoming “ **Arrow Lake** ” chips with this kernel release!
Then there's the **support for Intel's[ **Shadow Stack**][5]** that came with the inclusion of their [**Control-flow Enforcement Technology**][6] (CET) into the kernel. Its main objective is to **defend against return-oriented programming (ROP) attacks** on modern Intel CPUs from Tiger Lake onwards.
![][7]
### Better Support for Laptops
![][8]
**For HP laptops** , it is now **possible to manage the BIOS from within Linux** , this is thanks to the implementation of the “ **HP-BIOSCFG** ” driver.
According to reports, **HP laptops from 2018 and later should work** with this driver.
**For Lenovo laptops** , the driver was updated to **add support for keyboard backlight control** for more IdeaPad laptops.
Similarly, **for ASUS laptops** , the [ROG Flow X16][9] (2023) gaming laptops can now **properly enable tablet mode** when the lid is flipped over.
### Networking Improvements
![][10]
On the networking side of things, Linux kernel 6.6 features **support for new hardware** such as [**Atheros QCA8081**][11], **MediaTek MT7988** , **MediaTek MT7981** , [**NXP TJA1120 PHY**][12], and more.
Even the **drivers have seen upgrades** , take for instance the **Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 (ath12k) driver** , which now **supports Extremely High Throughput (EHT) PHY**.
Then there is the **enabling of AP mode for various Realtek (rtl8xxxu) Wi-Fi chips**.
More details on networking-specific changes can be found in the [pull request][13].
### AMD Enhancements
![][14]
With the Linux kernel 6.6 release, AMD developers have pushed **support for two new pieces of technology** that they have yet to officially announce.
One is support for their upcoming “ **FreeSync Panel Replay** ” technology for gaming displays (laptops only) that would automatically decrease the refresh rate to save on power and reduce GPU workload.
The other is called “ **Dynamic boost control** ” that is a **performance** **improving feature for some Ryzen SoCs** , details about it are quite slim.
More on its implementation can be found in the [patch series][15].
### 🛠️ Other Changes & Improvements
As for the rest, here are some other notable changes:
* Loads of new features for **LoongArch**.
* The **Rust toolchain** was upgraded to v1.71.1.
* Various improvements for **RISC-V** and **Btrfs**.
* Complete removal of [**Wireless USB**][16] and [**Ultra-Wideband**][17] code.
* Many improvements for **open-source graphics drivers** for **Nvidia** , **Intel** , and **AMD**.
You can go through the [changelog][18] for more details.
## Installing Linux Kernel 6.6
If you are running rolling-release distros such as Arch or Fedora, then it is quite straightforward to upgrade.
You just have to wait a bit, as these distros take their time in releasing the update.
As for the rest, you can either wait for a major release, or **upgrade to the latest mainline Linux kernel in Ubuntu** by following our guide:
![][19]
You can download the tarball for the latest Linux kernel from its [official website][20] ( _it takes time for it to be available after release_ ).
