KERNEL RC3 CLOSES HARDWARE AND FILESYSTEM GAPS; OMARCHY 3.8.0 SHIPS WITH REMINDERS

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Linux

Linux 7.1-rc3 lands critical fixes across hwmon, powerpc, and fsverity while Omarchy's new release adds reminder infrastructure and theme support.

The kernel merge window continues tightening with hardware monitoring fixes [1] addressing endianness bugs in the ads7871 driver and critical TOCTOU race conditions in the lm63 thermal sensor—the kind of low-level register bugs that corrupt sensor data in production. PowerPC maintainers landed a batch of interrupt mask corrections and KASAN sanitization fixes [2] that clean up the rc3 baseline. Fsverity closed a regression in overlayfs caused by an API semantic change [3]—a subtle gotcha for systems relying on file verification layering. On the Rust side [4], the pin-init crate got an unsoundness fix that prevented unsafely-created static references, a soundness fix you want before any Rust kernel code hits production. Staging drivers received two critical patches [5]: a device leak in vme_user and a NULL dereference in rtl8723bs that will crash on certain probe paths. Meanwhile, Omarchy 3.8.0 [6] shipped with reminder infrastructure via Super+Ctrl+R, live weather integration, and a new Solitude theme, marking the move toward defaults-first ergonomics.
