Ubuntu 14.04 Kernel Version and Configuration

[Leann Ogasawara]

Hi All,

As we enter Kernel Freeze for the Ubuntu Trusty Tahr 14.04 release, the
Ubuntu Kernel Team felt this would be an appropriate time to officially
confirm the Ubuntu 14.04 kernel will be based on the upstream v3.13 Linux
kernel [1].  For those seeking the specific details of all the changes
provided in the Ubuntu 14.04 kernel, please refer to the ubuntu-trusty
kernel git repository [2].  We have also categorized the Ubuntu specific
changes in our TrustyKernelDeltaReview wiki for anyone interested [3].

We also want to take this time to advertise what we intend to be the final
kernel configurations for the main distro kernel flavors as well.  The
purpose is to expose the main configuration changes and provide pointers to
the full configurations for those who are interested.  To aid in the
comparison of kernel config changes from Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy) to Ubuntu
14.04 (Trusty), we have generated a kernel configuration comparison report
[4].  We have also posted the full Ubuntu 14.04 configurations for each
arch and flavor [5].

Thanks,
The Ubuntu Kernel Team
