Linux 6.14 Power Management: "Dominated By AMD P-State Driver Changes"
23 January 2025 - Power Management Updates

All of the power management feature updates for the in-development Linux 6.14 kernel were sent out earlier this week and subsequently merged. As we've been seeing with recent Linux kernel releases, AMD continues investing a lot into their AMD P-State CPU frequency scaling driver for better power efficiency on Ryzen processors and since the prior kernel also now being used with the new 5th Gen AMD EPYC server processors too.

Linux 6.14 To Switch From SHA1 To SHA512 For Module Signing By Default
26 January 2025 - SHA512 Module Signing

While many Linux distribution vendor kernels are already using SHA-512 for signing modules by default rather than the default SHA-1, the upstream Linux 6.14 kernel is also now switching the default over to using SHA-512 for better security.
