Linux 5.9.8

Linux 5.9.8

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

I'm announcing the release of the 5.9.8 kernel.

Only upgrade if you are vunerable to this Intel advisory:
        https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-00389.html

Hint, if you are using SGX, then upgrade.  And then possibly reconsider
the decisions you have recently made that caused you to write special
code to use that crazy thing.  Personally, it still feels like a
solution in search of a problem.

If not, you should be fine, no need to upgrade.  Unless you really want
to, and the, great, please do so, it's fun!

The updated 5.9.y git tree can be found at:
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-5.9.y
and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser:
	https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=summary

thanks,

greg k-h

This is not yet linked on kernel.org - same goes for lts version 5.4.77.
I guess this is not by intention, no?

Strange, both are indeed not listed on kernel.org but are available in
the download directory and can be retrieved from there:

    https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/
    https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/

Maybe it's just the bot that updates the front page that was stopped.

kernel.org is "stuck" on some syncing tasks right now, it should be
"unstuck" "soon".  Hopefully.  The admins know about it.
