So if rc4 last week was tiny and smaller than usual, it seems to have
been partly timing, and rc5 is now a bit larger than usual.
But only a very tiny bit larger - certainly not outrageously so, and
not something that worries me (admittedly partly because of that small
rc4: it doesn't feel like we're having any more issues than usual,
it's just that the work ended up shifting a bit to this past week).
The diffstat looks normal too, although with an odd bump for the n_gsm
tty ldisc code. I could have sworn that thing was legacy and nobody
used it, but apparently I would have been very wrong about that.
That small oddity aside, nothing surprising in here, with about half
the patch being drivers (mainly networking, gpu, pincontrol, clk, usb,
and that tty gsm thing), with the rest being the usual suspects:
architecture fixes (kvm, some arm dts files), core networking, tools
(both objtool and perf) and some documentation fixes. Add in a few
random things, and you have rc5.
The shortlog is appended for people who want to see the details, but
it honestly doesn't look very interesting.
But "interesting" isn't what we're going for - we're past the halfway
mark in the release, and "boring" is very much what we want.
Please do test, and hopefully we don't have some silly brown-paper bug
like the no-mmu breakage in rc4.
