Hi there, as per of the following article: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/linux-emulation/article.html under the section number 5.2, the author of the article says that the Linux kernel which they work to emulate it in FreeBSD is the 2.6 kernel version. he also stated there that setting the "compat.linux.osrelease" via sysctl to another values than 2.6 influence only on the version number which is outputted by the uname command. my question is if there is a plan to add support to emulation of the Linux kernel of higher Linux kernels like 4.5.x with all of the features of those kernel versions. it is to say, when one will set the "compat.linux.osrelease" to version 4.5.1 for instance, it will not only affect the version that is outputted by uname but rather will enable all the new features of the 4.5.x kernels if any. Regards, atar.
