=== Version ===
The Fedora 22 distribution is powered by Linux kernel 4.0 RC1.
Fedora may include additional patches to the kernel for improvements, bug fixes, or additional features. For this reason, the Fedora kernel may not be line-for-line equivalent to the so-called vanilla kernel from the kernel.org web site at http://www.kernel.org.
*  According to Linus Torvalds’ notes, it is a fairly small release, but not much smaller than the usual RC versions
 
Features
To obtain a list of these patches, download the source RPM package and run the following command against it:
*Various vm cleanups, and the unification of the PROTNONE and NUMA handling for page tables.  
 
*The final release of Linux kernel 4.0 will also include the highly anticipated live patching infrastructure.
rpm -qpl kernel-<version>.src.rpm
 
=== Changelog ===
To retrieve a log of changes to the package, run the following command:
 
rpm -q --changelog kernel-<version>
 
If you need a user friendly version of the changelog, refer to http://wiki.kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges. A short and full diff of the kernel is available from http://kernel.org/git. The Fedora version kernel is based on the Linus tree.
 
Customizations made for the Fedora version are available from http://cvs.fedoraproject.org.
 
=== Preparing for Kernel Development ===
Fedora 13 does not include the ''kernel-source'' package provided by older versions, since only the ''kernel-devel'' package is required now to build external modules.
