linux: Add release candidate version 4.9-rc8
Announcement for Linux 4.9-rc8 [1]: > So if anybody has been following the git tree, it should come as no > surprise that I ended up doing an rc8 after all: things haven't been > bad, but it also hasn't been the complete quiet that would have made > me go "no point in doing another week". > > Extra kudos to Arnd, who actually root-caused the incredibly annoying > "modversions do not work with new versions of binutils", bisecting it > to a particular change to symbol handling in binutils, and then adding > a small one-liner patch to the kernel to work around the issue. We > already had other workarounds in place, but it's always good to know > exactly what in the tool chain changed to cause things like this. > > But that one-liner was just one of 163 small fixes (not counting > merges) in rc8. That's pretty small (for the kernel), but certainly > not completely quiet. Full details appended, but it's mostly > networking (error path leaks stand out, but it's a random collection) > and random drivers, with a couple of small fixes to core stuff > (vm/fs/kernel). > > Linus [1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/12/4/142
