summary

Kernel 6.4–6.9 delivers concrete wins and breaking changes: per-field tracing via perf data type profiling that generates cache-line access heatmaps; a new deadline servers mechanism that prevents RT starvation while using ~5% of a CPU quantum when active; Intel shadow stacks and Rust network refactors with up to 40% data-structure speedups; removal of slab and slob removed leaving SLUB only; EXT2 deprecated; LTS policy shifts to one release/year with two years of official support; upstream CI materials (GitLab) are being added; Yocto ships Yocto 5 LTS with Kernel 6.6; EU C cybersecurity rules and closed HDMI standards impact embedded deployment.
