Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2009 05:51:56 -0400 (EDT) From: Jeff Arnold <jbarnold@...lice.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org cc: tabbott@...lice.com, wdaher@...lice.com, andersk@...lice.com, nelhage@...lice.com, price@...lice.com, geofft@...lice.com Subject: Ksplice updates for Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Hello, The Ksplice team [1] is now providing rebootless kernel updates for Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty to anyone who configures their machine to receive them [2]. In short, users can click a few buttons and start getting all of the Ubuntu kernel security updates applied to their system without rebooting. No initial kernel changes are needed. [1] http://www.ksplice.com [2] http://www.ksplice.com/uptrack I first mentioned Ksplice to the LKML in April 2008 [3], and since then we've submitted several rounds of Ksplice patches [4,5,6]. So far we've gotten various improvements related to Ksplice merged into mainline. [3] http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/23/330 [4] http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/13/6 [5] http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/21/484 [6] http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/5/330 Ksplice applies traditional source code patches to unmodified Linux kernels. It can be used to apply all of the Linux security patches over multiple years [7], and it can also apply reliability patches and other bug fixes, such as from the Linux stable tree.
