Release notes for 2.30
Note: future bug reports should captured in this kernel.org tracker.
BUGFIX: arm and i386 fixes C and Go setgroups choice - used wrong
syscall in 2.29.
cleaned up make clean and make install to actually work as intended
updated Gentoo libpsx.pc file from Lars Wendler
refactored the way libpsx linkage with libcap performed mutual
discovery.
Previously (2.28) libpsx had an API call overridden by libcap
using weak linkage function in libpsx. In 2.30 this is reversed, namely
libpsx provides the stronger function and libcap has a weak "no-op"
version.
a bit more consistency in handling the 'all' sets in libcap (C) and
libcap/cap (Go). Namely, they both dynamically discover the number of
capabilities named by the kernel and use this as the definition of 'all'
for the current runtime.
libcap (C) exports cap_max_bit() to export the number of supported
capabilities
libcap/cap (Go) exports cap.MaxBits() for this same value.
