The Linux 5.11 merge window became available in the last two weeks after the release of Linux 5.10. However, with the arrival of the first release candidate, that ended on Sunday. Many exciting new features and improvements are expected to be part of Linux 5.11 , which is expected to be stable in February.
Linux 5.11 is very heavy on the work of new features for this post-LTS cycle and what will be the first major stable kernel release of 2021. There are a ton of changes at Intel and AMD, Syscall User Dispatch for helping some newer games Windows running on Wine, continuation of IO_During advances, many improvements to the Btrfs file system, Lenovo contributed to support ThinkPad palm sensor detection and more.
Specifically in relation to Intel, there is finally SGX Enclaves support merged after years of work, Intel's full scaling support in its graphics driver, asynchronous page in its graphics driver, a new “RFIM” driver for mitigating radio frequency interference, new Device IDs around Rocket Lake and Alder Lake , support 6 GHz WiFi band in your WiFi driver and other jobs.
Meanwhile, for AMD, there are new drivers to improve power management and sensor handling, support for CPU frequency invariance (although with Schedutil is in poor condition on some systems), the AMD Sensor Fusion Hub driver was finally merged to support sensor functionality on Ryzen laptops and several other improvements.
Linux 5.11 also sees new hardware support for obscure devices from the failed OUYA game console, now running from a main Linux kernel for the Guitar Hero Live PS3 / Wii U dongles now being supported.
See the progress of the work
Processors:
There was a fusion of support for Intel SGX enclaves after more than 40 rounds of code review that took years to complete, but now main for those who want software protection extensions;
Improvements in support of AMD S2idle ;
Intel P-State Schedutil is being tuned for better efficiency;
A feature that is being lost is the AMD Zen voltage / current report removed from the k10temp driver due to the lack of public documentation to be able to properly report the values of all hardware;
Performance improvements for AMD EPYC with PostgreSQL ;
Intel Platform Monitoring technology is now supported as a hardware telemetry feature for organizations and data centers;
Improvements in OpenRISC and RISC-V ;
Support for AMD Zen / Zen2 / Zen3 RAPL PowerCap ;
Intel workload tips on INT340x and other power management jobs;
Newest ARM hardware support, including mainline support for the failed OUYA game console ;
The AMD Sensor Fusion Hub driver has finally been incorporated;
Support Zen 3 EPYC AMD driver Energy ;
The AMD SB-TSI sensor driver has been incorporated for the sideband temperature sensor interface on newer AMD server platforms;
And support for frequency invariance for Zen 2 and newer. With Schedutil, the goal is to help you make better decisions about scaling the CPU frequency.
The AMD SoC PMC driver is designed to help power management on mobile / integrated hardware;
A new Intel driver is the Intel IGEN6 driver for in-band ECC with new client SoCs, initially Elkhart Lake / Atom x6000E ;
Another new driver from Intel is the RFIM code for reducing radio frequency interference on adjusting the regular integrated voltage and DDR frequencies in some SoCs to mitigate WiFi and 5G wireless issues;
KASLR support for Loongson 64 .
Graphics:
Support for AMD Van Gogh APUs;
Support for AMD Green Sardine APUs;
And support for Dimgrey Cavefish as another RDNA2 dGPU variant ;
Continuous activation of Intel DG1 graphics;
Intel Keem Bay monitor support with a new driver added;
Intel Integer Scaling support;
Intel Big Joiner support for 8K outputs on a single port;
Support for Intel asynchronous page flipping;
Some performance improvements for the Radeon RX 6800 series;
Many other DRM updates.
