Year 2021, Round 30.
Another batch of updates has been scheduled for release on Sunday, 2 May 2021, at approximately 14:00, GMT. If no problems are found while testing the release candidates, they might be available sometime on Saturday (depending on your time zone).
The first post is interesting, too. The problem was that with clang his 'make oldconfig' takes 2.748s, compared to the actual building of the kernel, which takes 3.546s (!).

Not a kernel specialist, but from what I know, "make oldconfig" means a single program (that config) on a single core, parse a ton of config files on various directories from the kernel directories. No matter how many cores have your box.
While if your box have a OMG!WTF? number of cores, the building the kernel in less than 4 (four) seconds is quite plausible.
I'm still on 14.2 with an old Pentium D. Having built the 5.11 and 5.4, modifying the kernel to be for Xeon,P4 and early Pentium. The problem of suspend and hibernate still bites. So I've goine back to 4.19.189, but it was a real pain in the neck to go through make oldconfig. Does any one have Pat's old 4.19 kernel config, or where can I find it?
Yeah for some reason 5.12 has felt really comfortable, but perhaps that's just the psychological effect and the inherent reassurance a techie feels when seeing the number 512.
[PATCH 00/69] "Revert and fix properly" patch series based on umn.edu re-review
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon May 03 2021 - 07:58:56 EST
Hi all,
[individuals put on bcc: due to quantity would have been rejected by vger]
Here is the "final" set of reverts and fixes based on the re-review of
all accepted umn.edu commits. It consists of 7 "clean" reverts that do
not need to be fixed up again for various reasons (see the commit
messages for reasoning), and then 31 sets of "revert & fix" commits that
consist of reverting the offending commit and then fixing it up
properly.
Where these patches were accepted into stable kernels, I've properly
tagged them for reverting in the stable kernels automatically as well.
I'll be taking these through one of my trees, so there's no need for any
maintainer to have to worry about these needing to go through theirs.
Many thanks to the huge number of people who provided the original
"revert review" of all of the patches, as well as the developers here
who worked to provide "correct" fixes for these issues so that no kernel
release will go out with any bugfix being dropped.
thanks,
greg k-h
