Linux Kernel 4.2 installation instructions

Linux Kernel 4.2 installation instructions

Linux Kernel 4.2 has been released. This is the largest version recently released by Linus Torvalds, with more than 1 million lines of code added and about 0.25 million lines of code removed. Main new features include: new AMDGPU driver; Intel Broxton support; Improved ncq trim processing; F2FS file system encryption; partially rewritten Intel x86 assembly code; LSM Stacking; latency gradient network congestion control algorithm, improved control group write-back management, and so on.

The following content is from the mail list:

So judging by how little happened this week, it wouldn’t have been a mistake to release 4.2 last week after all, but hey, there’s certainly a few fixes here, and it’s not like delaying 4.2 for a week should have caused any problems either.

So here it is, and the merge window for 4.3 is now open. I already have a few pending early pull requests, but as usual I’ll start processing them tomorrow and give the release some time to actually sit.
