Linux Kernel 4.16 was released yesterday. Linus Torvalds announced in lkml.org:
So the take from final week of the 4.16 release looks a lot like rc7, in that about half of it is networking. If it wasn’t for that, it would all be very small and calm.
We had a number of fixes and cleanups elsewhere, but none of it made me go “uhhuh, better let this soak for another week”. And davem didn’t think the networking was a reason to delay the release, so I’m not.
End result: 4.16 is out, and the merge window for 4.17 is open and I’ll start doing pull requests tomorrow.
Outside of networking, most of the last week was various arch fixlets (powerpc, arm, x86, arm64), some driver fixes (mainly scsi and rdma) and misc other noise (documentation, vm, perf).
The appended shortlog gives an overview of the details (again, this is only the small stuff in the last week, if you want the full 4.16 changelog you’d better get the git tree and filter by your area of interest).
Linux Kernel 4.16 release highlights:
Spectre / Meltdown mitigation & other security updates.
L2 CDP support for L2 cache partitioning on Intel CPUs
Correct AMD Zen temperature reporting for the Ryzen Threadripper 1900X processor.
P-State driver support for Skylake X servers.
POWER memory protection keys support
Oracle DAX driver for SPARC co-processor
Jailhouse guest support for non-root users
How to Install Kernel 4.16 in Ubuntu:

The mainline kernel PPA has made the new kernel binaries for Ubuntu, available for download at the link below:
Depends on your OS type, download and install the packages in turns:

To get the Kernel 4.16 from the command console, run the commands below one by one:
Start/restart your machine and select boot with the previous kernel in Grub2 -> Advanced menu. Then use Ubuntu Tweak, or other system tool to remove the Kernel 4.16, or you may see this how to remove old kernels tutorial.
