Subject: Linux 5.9.8
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2020 21:56:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1605041246232108@kroah.com> (raw)

I'm announcing the release of the 5.9.8 kernel.

Only upgrade if you are vunerable to this Intel advisory:
        https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-00389.html

Hint, if you are using SGX, then upgrade.  And then possibly reconsider
the decisions you have recently made that caused you to write special
code to use that crazy thing.  Personally, it still feels like a
solution in search of a problem.

If not, you should be fine, no need to upgrade.  Unless you really want
to, and the, great, please do so, it's fun!

The updated 5.9.y git tree can be found at:
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-5.9.y
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
	https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary

thanks,

greg k-h
