'next', as its name indcates, refers to patches targeted for the next release and are currently in linux-next. Shortly (days) after a new release, the merge window opens for the next release. > Is there any way to find out what changes from linux-security were > upstreamed to mainline linux kernel? > > -Sam Patches in 'next' are generally not upstreamed in the current release. Only bug fixes that were in 'for-linus' were upstreamed in 3.2. So where is EVM/IMA? EVM is included in the linux 3.2 release. The EVM digital signature extension is in linux-next and, most likely, will be merged in this open window. As for the IMA-appraisal extension, the patches are available from git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/zohar/linux-integrity/ 'next-ima-appraisal'. thanks, Mimi |
