The 6.5 kernel has been released

[Posted August 27, 2023 by corbet]
Linus has, as expected, released the 6.5 kernel.
I still have this nagging feeling that a lot of people are on vacation and that things have been quiet partly due to that. But this release has been going smoothly, so that's probably just me being paranoid. The biggest patches this last week were literally just to our selftests.

Headline features in 6.5 include faster booting on large x86 systems, Arm Permission Indirection Extension support, Rust 1.68.2 support, unaccepted memory handling, "mount beneath" support for filesystems, the cachestat() system call, the ability to pass a pidfd via a SCM_CREDENTIALS control message, scope-based resource management for internal kernel code, the deprecation of the SLAB allocator, and more. See the LWN merge-window summaries (part 1, part 2) and the (in-progress) KernelNewbies 6.5 page for details.
