A lot of stuff. All over. And KVM.
By: Marius Nestor, Linux Editor
Linus Torvalds announced today the final and stable release of the Linux kernel, version 2.6.20:
"I tried rather hard to make 2.6.20 largely a ‘stabilization release’. Unlike a lot of kernels lately, there aren't really any big fundamental changes to some core infrastructure area, and while we always have bugs, I really am hoping that we fixed many more than we introduced.
Have fun. And remember: the thousandth decimal is, of course, 9. There *will* be a test on this afterwards."
Highlights of this release include:
• Sony Playstation 3 support
• Virtualization support through KVM
• Paravirtualization support for i386
• Relocatable kernel support for x86
• Fault injection
• IO Accounting
• Relative atime support
• UDP-Lite support
• Generic HID layer
• Sleazy FPU optimization
• Use 'regparm' in x86-32
• round_jiffies() infrastructure
• New drivers
