Linux 5.1 Released

'Linux 5.1 released has been released. The main feature in this
release is io_uring, a high-performance interface for asynchronous
I/O; there are also improvements in fanotify to provide a scalable way
of watching changes on large file systems; it also adds a method to
allow safe delivery of signals in presence of PID reuse; persistent
memory can be used now as hot-plugabble RAM; Zstd compression levels
have been made configurable in Btrfs; there is a new cpuidle governor
that makes better power management decisions than the menu governor;
all 32 bit architectures have added the necessary syscalls to deal
with the y2038 problem; and live patching has added support for
creating cumulative patches. There are many other features and new
drivers in the changelog.'
