ARM Status

Stable arm kernels: a new natty/omap4 kernel is out.
Oneiric/ti-omap4: a new TI code drop has landed – omap 4460 support, dkms cross
compilation, a couple of drm reverts for the upcoming gfx driver and various
fixes. This pretty much represents the omap4 kernel Oneiric will ship with.

Milestone Targeted Work Items

If your name is in the table above, please review your final Oneiric work items.

Status: General Oneiric

We remain at the 3.0.0-12.19 kernel and are queuing misc bug fixes at this time. These queued fixes are not release critical and will be available in the first Oneiric SRU. Also, upstream stable v3.0.5 and v3.0.6 were just released. We are currently in the process of reviwing and pulling these patches.
Some important upcoming dates are as follows:

• Oct 6 – Release Candidate (2 days)
• Oct 13 – Final Release (~1 week)
  I would also like to note that the P-series git repo has been rebased to v3.1-rc8 and is available at git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-p.git master-next .

Status: CVE’s

Currently open CVEs for each supported branch:

Three additional CVEs were added this week, one is fixed and out for review and the other two are being prepared currently. We continue to have 2 CVEs without fix across the board.

Status: Stable, Security, and Bugfix Kernel Updates – Natty/Maverick/Lucid/Hardy

In general, updates have been less frequent and smaller, due to the kernel.org
problems. This is pretty much resolved upstream, and I expect that the number of
patches being applied in stable updates will increase sharply in the next few
cycles.

SRU kernel status:

• Kernel SRU Workflow Status
• Detailed Information Here

  Kernel status for each series is as follows:

Hardy

• Released

Lucid

• Lucid Tracking Bug
• In Verification

Maverick

• Maverick Tracking Bug
• In testing Phase. Undergoing regression testing, needs Certification testing
