Linux 6.12-rc2 Released With Initial Batch Of Fixes


Building off last Sunday's inaugural release candidate of Linux 6.12, Linus Torvalds tagged the Linux 6.12-rc2 kernel a few minutes ago.

Linux 6.12-rc2 brings fixes for early fallout and regressions stemming from the recently merged feature code. Among the patches this week were expanding Arm's Speculative SSBS workaround to more CPUs including the Cortex-A715, Neoverse-N3, and Microsoft Azure Cobalt 100 cores. Linux 6.12 stable should be out around mid-November and will likely serve as this year's Long Term Support (LTS) kernel version.
