Linux 5.3 Released

'This release includes support for AMD Navi GPUs; support for the
umwait x86 instructions that let processes wait for short amounts of
time without spinning loops; a 'utilization clamping' mechanism that
is used to boost interactivity on power-asymmetric CPUs used in
phones; a new pidfd_open(2) system call that completes the work done
to let users deal with the PID reuse problem; 16 millions of new IPv4
addresses in the 0.0.0.0/8 range are made available; support for
Zhaoxin x86 CPUs; support Intel Speed Select for easier power
selection in Xeon servers; and support for the lightweight hypervisor
ACRN, built for embedded IoT devices. As always, many other new
drivers and improvements can be found in the changelog.'
