The list of changes in the Linux kernel includes fixes for various issues, such as shift count out of range, null pointer dereference in rtsn_probe, and recursive locking in pci_msix_write_tph_tag. Other improvements include a new prio for promiscuous mode, correct signedness in skb remaining space calculation, and a fix for non-transmitted BSSID profile search. Other changes include a fix for potential out-of-bounds page table access during batched unmap, a limit on concurrent STA and SoftAP to operate on the same channel, and a fix for eventpoll. Other changes include checking AGP Capability before binding to unsupported devices, moving the WoL function to a shared library, and removing the default log level to non-verbose.
