Believe it or not, it seems that it is time for us to start leaving the Linux 5.18 kernel which has entered the EOL (end of life) period based on information from the kernel.org website.
Linux kernel 5.18 was released at the end of May 2022 yesterday. This version is indeed one of the versions of the Linux kernel that is included in the short-lived series category. This kernel introduces new features such as support for "user events" in system tracing, support for AMD's "host system management port" function, support for 64-bit integrity checks on NVMe devices, support for the "hardware feedback interface" feature. Intel, as well as indirect branch tracking support for x86 architectures.
One of the well-known kernel Developer Greg Kroah-Hartman today announced the release of Linux kernel 5.18.19, which appears to be a very minor patch that includes only 6 changes. Most importantly, Linux kernel 5.18.19 is also the last maintenance release for the Linux 5.17 kernel series, which is now at the end of its life and will no longer receive security updates and bug fixes.
