The Linux Kernel 4.5 is now officially released and is up for download right now
Linux kernel 4.5 is officially here after being under development for over two months. Linux kernel 4.5 received a total of seven Release Candidate builds since January 25, 2016, with the last one having been officially announced by Linus Torvalds on March 6.
So what exactly is so promising about Linux Kernel 4.5? It includes the implementation of initial support for the AMD PowerPlay power management technology, and also brings in high performance to the AMD GPU open-source driver for Radeon GPUs. As a result, it will improve scalability in the free space handling of the Btrfs file system, and better epoll multithreaded scalability.
Furthermore, GCC, or GNU Compiler Collection’s UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer (UBSan) is now supported in Linux kernel 4.5 by using ‘-fsanitize=undefined,’ which is the memory controller now offers proper memory accounting of sockets.
