You can also use dnf needs-restarting after an update to find out
what,
if anything has to be restarted either because it, or one of its
dependencies has been upgraded. However, it never mentions a kernel
upgrade, or a new version of glibc; you just hafta know.
I use the tracer plugin, which runs automatically on every update (and
does cover kernel and glibc updates):
