Ubuntu to offer live patching on HWE kernels |
 |
Canonical has announced it will be expanding its support for live kernel patching (an option which allows systems to patch a running kernel without rebooting). Up to this point, Ubuntu users have been able to use live patching on LTS kernels. With this new change, hardware enablement (HWE) kernels, which offer support for newer devices, will also receive live patching. "We’ve listened to your feedback and are pleased to announce that Livepatch will now be available on HWE kernels. This will debut with the release of kernel version 6.2, which will initially accompany Ubuntu’s interim release of 23.04 Lunar Lobster, in April 2023. Thereafter, it will be made accessible as an HWE kernel for the 22.04 LTS release, Jammy Jellyfish, starting July 2023." The announcement offers additional details. |
