How to install and Upgrade Linux Kernel 3.15 In Ubuntu

Linus Torvalds has announced Linux Kernel 3.15 In the Linux Kernel email list:

So I ended up doing an rc8 because I was a bit worried about some last-minute dcache fixes, but it turns out that nobody seemed to even notice those. we did have other issues during the week, though, so it was just as well. the futex fixes and cleanups may stand out, but as usual there's varous other random fixes since rc8 in there too: mainly drivers (drm, networking, sound, usb etc), networking, scheduling and perf tooling.
 
But it's all been fairly small and quiet, which * may * of course be due to the fact that last week was also the first week of the merge window for 3.16. that might have distracted some developers. i'm not entirely convinced I liked the overlap, but it seemed to work OK, and unless people scream really loudly ("Please don't _ ever _ do that again ") and give good reasons for doing so, I might end up doing that overlapping merge window in the future too if it ends up helping out with some particle timing issue.
 
That said, I also don't think it was such a wonderful experience that I 'd want to necessarily do the overlap every time, without a good specific reason for doing so. it was kind of nice being productive during the last week or rc (which is usually quite boring and dead ), but I think it might be a distraction when people shoshould be worrying about the stability of the rc.
 
Of course, maybe the overlap ends up meaning that we get less noise during the last week of stabilization, and it actually helps. it cocould go either way. I 'd be interested to hear what people thought, although I _ suspect _ most people don't feel stronugly either way.
 
Anyway, with 3.15 released, my "master" branch has already merged the work in my "next" branch on my local machine, and I'll be decommissioning the "next" branch once I push that all out. after that, any future merge window work will happen on "master", and we'll be back to the normal single-branch model for my tree.
