Kernel and System Libraries

The following notable features, enhancements, and changes apply to the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK) that's shipped with the current Oracle Linux 9 version.

eBPF Facility Updated

The eBPF facility has been updated to Linux kernel version 6.12.

View cgroup Instances

With the introduction of cgroup v2, the traditional method of viewing cgroup instances using the /proc/cgroups file is no longer applicable. The /proc/cgroups file, designed for cgroup v1, is deprecated for cgroup v2 as it doesn't provide the correct information.

To accurately find the number of cgroup subsystems with cgroup v2, you can now use the cgroup.stat file in the root cgroup. This file serves as the replacement for /proc/cgroups in cgroup v2, providing the correct count of cgroup subsystems.

kdump Updated to Version 6.10

kdump is updated to 6.10.
