Linux Kernel 3.12 RC1

Linux Kernel is the essential part of Linux, responsible for resource allocation, low-level hardware interfaces, security, simple communications, and basic file system management.

Linux is a clone of the operating system Unix, written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net. It aims towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliance.

It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged Unix, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, and multistack networking including IPv4 and IPv6.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· We've got some arch updates (arm, parisc), but most of this is drivers (mostly networking, usb and some drm updates). There's also some core networking changes. And the printk code movement looks big if you don't do git renames (ie like the patches I upload).
