What happened
Linux 7.4-rc1 has landed with roughly 20,000 commits in the merge window, against a typical ~15,000. Torvalds notes many changes are fixes for issues found by AI tools and that AI-suggested patches are increasingly common, though often rewritten by maintainers. AMD GPU register offset and bit mask updates account for about a third of the changes. No CVE identifiers or specific security advisories are mentioned in the source material.
