Calendar Grey July 20, 2021
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The recent kernel-headers patch for Fedora 34 introduces critical improvements aimed at boosting overall reliability and efficiency of the operating system.
The 5.12.17 stable kernel update contains a (unusually large) number of fixes across the tree.

Summary

Kernel-headers includes the C header files that specify the interface

between the Linux kernel and userspace libraries and programs. The

header files define structures and constants that are needed for

building most standard programs and are also needed for rebuilding the

glibc package.

The 5.12.17 stable kernel update contains a (unusually large) number of fixes

across the tree.
