The standout feature of Linux kernel version 6.12 is the inclusion of real-time PREEMPT_RT support, enhancing the performance of real-time applications by allowing kernel processes to be preemptible.
Linux kernel now enables precise timing within microseconds, essential for applications that require high accuracy, such as robotics, audio production, and industrial control systems.
A major addition to this release is the extensible scheduler, sched_ext, which utilizes eBPF technology to give developers tailored control over process scheduling.
With this update, Linux supports various hardware platforms, including the Raspberry Pi 5, and improves compatibility for AMD and Intel graphics and Wacom devices.
