Linux 3.9.10

I'm announcing the release of the 3.9.10 kernel.

Note, this might just be the last 3.9-stable kernel release, I'm not
quite sure I can guarantee another 3.9-stable kernel will be released.
Please move to the 3.10-stable series at this point in time.  If that
isn't working for you, please let us know NOW!

All users of the 3.9 kernel series must upgrade.

The updated 3.9.y git tree can be found at:
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-3.9.y
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
	http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary

thanks,

greg k-h

I guess this means 3.9 will NOT be this years LTS kernel.  yes?¬         
 ¬                                                                        
Do you think its safe to assume 3.10 will be the LTS for 2013?¬          
 ¬                                                                        
thank!

That is correct.

Hi Greg,

Unfortunate hardware owners of Intel Atom's Cedar Trail platforms (like Atom 
N2600/N2800) like myself have been relying on the excellent work of thomas001 
on the cedarview-drm kernel driver, https://github.com/thomas001/cedarview-
drm, to enable the use of the cedarview_gfx module and its proprietary, 
accelerated userspace xorg driver pvr, with later kernel releases.

Unfortunately, the 3.10 kernel release brought about some major changes in  
include/linux/proc_fs.h that prevent the successful compilation of the 
cedarview_gfx kernel module, as reported here 
https://github.com/thomas001/cedarview-drm/issues/1 .

Can you suggest how one proceeds from here? Intel cannot be relied upon to 
update the driver package, even at least the open-source cedarview-drm source 
package, for this hardware.
