With the Linux 6.7 merge window having closed on Sunday, here’s a recap of all the interesting new features to find with this new kernel.
It’s very heavy on new features and in fact the largest kernel merge window ever by size.
Among the many highlights to Linux 6.7 are the Bcachefs file-system being mainlined, Intel Meteor Lake graphics are now considered stable, more Intel Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake enablement, continued work enabling next-gen AMD graphics hardware, NVIDIA GSP support in the Nouveau driver, scheduler improvements, optional support for disabling 32-bit x86 program support at boot time, and Intel Itanium support was removed.
Below is the lengthy feature list for Linux 6.7 meanwhile my focus is now shifting to benchmarking the new kernel over the coming days and weeks.
Perf adds support for Zen 4 Unified Memory Controller “UMC” events.
MMC is seeing 4~5% better random write performance for systems with Host Software Queue (HSQ) support.
