Linus Torvalds has announced the release of the first release candidate for Linux Kernel 6.11.
Linux kernel 6.11-rc1 released
The merge window felt pretty normal, and the stats all look pretty normal too. I was expecting things to be quieter because of summer vacations, but that (still) doesn't actually seem to have been the case.
There's 12k+ regular commits (and another 850 merge commits), so as always the summary of this all is just my merge log. The diffstats are also (once again) dominated by some big hardware descriptions (another AMD GPU register dump accounts for ~45% of the lines in the diff, and some more perf event JSON descriptor files account for another 5%).
But if you ignore those HW dumps, the diff too looks perfectly regular: drivers account for a bit over half (even when not counting the AMD register description noise). The rest is roughly one third architecture updates (lots of it is dts files, so I guess I could have lumped that in with "more hw descriptor tables"), one third tooling and documentation, and one third "core kernel" (filesystems, networking, VM and kernel). Very roughly.
If you want more details, you should get the git tree, and then narrow things down based on interests.
