Core:
- BPF:
- add syscall program type and libbpf support for generating
instructions and bindings for in-kernel BPF loaders (BPF loaders
for BPF), this is a stepping stone for signed BPF programs
- infrastructure to migrate TCP child sockets from one listener
to another in the same reuseport group/map to improve flexibility
of service hand-off/restart
- add broadcast support to XDP redirect
- allow bypass of the lockless qdisc to improving performance
(for pktgen: +23% with one thread, +44% with 2 threads)
- add a simpler version of "DO_ONCE()" which does not require
jump labels, intended for slow-path usage
- virtio/vsock: introduce SOCK_SEQPACKET support
- add getsocketopt to retrieve netns cookie
- ip: treat lowest address of a IPv4 subnet as ordinary unicast address
allowing reclaiming of precious IPv4 addresses
- ipv6: use prandom_u32() for ID generation
- ip: add support for more flexible field selection for hashing
across multi-path routes (w/ offload to mlxsw)
- icmp: add support for extended RFC 8335 PROBE (ping)
- seg6: add support for SRv6 End.DT46 behavior
- mptcp:
- DSS checksum support (RFC 8684) to detect middlebox meddling
- support Connection-time 'C' flag
- time stamping support
- sctp: packetization Layer Path MTU Discovery (RFC 8899)
- xfrm: speed up state addition with seq set
- WiFi:
- hidden AP discovery on 6 GHz and other HE 6 GHz improvements
- aggregation handling improvements for some drivers
- minstrel improvements for no-ack frames
- deferred rate control for TXQs to improve reaction times
- switch from round robin to virtual time-based airtime scheduler
- add trace points:
- tcp checksum errors
- openvswitch - action execution, upcalls
- socket errors via sk_error_report
Device APIs:
- devlink: add rate API for hierarchical control of max egress rate
of virtual devices (VFs, SFs etc.)
- don't require RCU read lock to be held around BPF hooks
in NAPI context
- page_pool: generic buffer recycling

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
