Linux Kernel 7.2 release adds cache-aware load balancing, HDMI 2.1 FRL, and Rust S/390 support
↗
Linux Kernel 7.2 introduces cache-aware load balancing, initial HDMI 2.1 FRL support for AMDGPU, devres-based ACPI notify handling, and Rust support for IBM System/390, along with numerous other updates.
The cache-aware load-balancing support provides a new mechanism for CPU scheduling that considers cache topology. Initial HDMI 2.1 FRL support in the AMDGPU driver adds capability for higher display bandwidth on compatible hardware. Rust support for the IBM System/390 architecture lets developers write kernel components in Rust for mainframe systems.
