                　　Linux Kernel 4.8 正式版发布了。
　　Linux是一个宏内核（monolithic kernel）系统。设备驱动程序可以完全访问硬件。Linux内的设备驱动程序可以方便地以模块化（modularize）的形式设置，并在系统运行期间可直接装载或卸载。
　　更新内容：

• 　　Checker incorporates some address-space checks normally    performed separately with the sparse    tool.
  
• 　　Colorize simply adds color to some diagnostic output.
  
• 　　Constify makes structures containing only function pointers     const.
  
• 　　Initify moves string constants that are only referenced in     __init or __exit functions to the appropriate ELF    sections.
  
• 
  　　Kallocstat generates information on>
  
• 　　Kernexec is there to "to make KERNEXEC/amd64 almost as    good as it is on i386"; it ensures that, for example,    user-space pages are not executable by the kernel.
  
• 　　Latent_entropy tries to generate entropy (randomness) from the    kernel's execution; more on this one below.
  
• 　　Randomize_layout reorganizes structure layout randomly.
  
• 　　Rap implements grsecurity's "return address protection"    mechanism, described in this    presentation [PDF].
  
• 　　Size_overflow (described on this    page) detects some integer overflows.
  
• 　　Stackleak tracks kernel-stack usage so that the stack can be    cleared on return to user space.
  
• 　　Structleak forcibly clears structure fields if they might be    copied to user space.
