 Posted: Thu Jan 02, 2025 2:44 pm Post subject: kernel.org ChangeLog summarizer |
 |
|
A simple shell script running awk and sort to extract the highlights from the kernel change log files.
A minor glitch moves the "Linux 6.12.8" or whatever to the middle of the file. Not worth fixing.
The script:
| Code: | #!/bin/sh
# Simple filter to extract and sort essentials from kernel.org ChangeLog files
awk '/^Date: / { getline; getline; print }' | sort -k1,3fd | awk ' { if (last != $1) { print ""; last=$1 } print }' |
Typical use:
| Code: | | ./kernelchanges < ChangeLog-6.12.8 | less |
Typical output:
| Code: | ...
drm/xe: Move the coredump registration to the worker thread
drm/xe: Take PM ref in delayed snapshot capture worker
fork: avoid inappropriate uprobe access to invalid mm
freezer, sched: Report frozen tasks as 'D' instead of 'R'
i2c: imx: add imx7d compatible string for applying erratum ERR007805
i2c: microchip-core: actually use repeated sends
i2c: microchip-core: fix "ghost" detections
io_uring/sqpoll: fix sqpoll error handling races
