It is understood from the meaning of this passage that the Linux Kernel 4.3 version has begun, and Linus Torvalds has received some new requests, but the specifics of how to improve it are further researched and determined.
What are the new kernel 4.2 improvements:
Rewrite Intel's x86 assembler code
Support for new arm boards and SoCs
Per-file Encryption for F2FS
AMD GPU Kernel DRM driver
Support for Radeon DRM-driven VCE1 video encoding
Initial support for the intel® Broxton Atom SoC
Supports ARCV2 and HS38 CPU cores
Added support for queue spin lock
Many other improvements and driver updates.
How to download the 4.2 kernel in Ubuntu:
This kernel version of the binary package is available for download links as follows: Download Kernel 4.2 (. DEB)
First check the operating system type, 32-bit (i386) or 64-bit (AMD64), and then use the following method to download and install the package in turn:
1.linux-headers-4.2.0-xxx_all.deb
2.linux-headers-4.2.0-xxx-generic_xxx_i386/amd64.deb
3.linux-image-4.2.0-xxx-generic_xxx_i386/amd64.deb
After installing the kernel, run the sudo update-grub command on the terminal ((ctrl+alt+t)) to update the Grub Boot-loader. If you need a low-latency system (such as recording audio), download and install the following package:
1.linux-headers-4.2.0_xxx_all.deb
2.linux-headers-4.2.0-xxx-lowlatency_xxx_i386/amd64.deb
3.linux-image-4.2.0-xxx-lowlatency_xxx_i386/amd64.deb
For Ubuntu servers that do not have a graphical user interface, you can run the following command through wget to download and install via dpkg:
For a 64-bit system, run:
Cd/tmp/wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.2-unstable/linux-headers-4.2.0-040200_ 4.2.0-040200.201508301530_all.deb wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.2-unstable/linux-headers-4.2.0-040200-generic_ 4.2.0-040200.201508301530_amd64.deb wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.2-unstable/linux-image-4.2.0-040200-generic_ 4.2.0-040200.201508301530_amd64.deb sudo dpkg-i linux-headers-4.2.0-*.deb linux-image-4.2.0-*.deb |
For a 32-bit system, run:
Cd/tmp/wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.2-unstable/linux-headers-4.2.0-040200_ 4.2.0-040200.201508301530_all.deb wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.2-unstable/linux-headers-4.2.0-040200-generic_ 4.2.0-040200.201508301530_i386.deb wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.2-unstable/linux-image-4.2.0-040200-generic_ 4.2.0-040200.201508301530_i386.deb sudo dpkg-i linux-headers-4.2.0-*.deb linux-image-4.2.0-*.deb |
Finally, the computer restarts to take effect. To restore or delete the old kernel, install the kernel through a script.
