Hi
I would like to upload next version of the 6.12.y stable series to
unstable, which will be 6.12.37-1, though depending on an ack/nack
from SRM and/or debian-boot.
The update contains in particular the mitigations for the Transitive
Scheduler Attacks (TSA) (CVE-2024-36350, CVE-2024-36357). To be
effective, they require both the support in kernel as a corresponding
amd64-microcode update (thus Henrique to check if that would be
possible to upload to unstable and let migrate to trixie).
Apart from the stable import, there are pending two packaging changes.
* Revert "cgroup: Do not report unavailable v1 controllers in
/proc/cgroups" (Closes: #1108294)
The revert commit from Ben Hutchings explains the situation:
| For compatibility with older versions of OpenJDK, we need to keep
| listing the cpuset and memory controllers in /proc/cgroups even
| though they no longer support the cgroups v1 API.
https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/commit/4c797eb8f8e2c6074c707cd906a452a2167bc67f
(we asked upstream if that can be officially reverted, but we guess we
will need to ship this patch indepently for trixie's lifecycle).
* rtw89: Enable RTW89_8851BE, RTW89_8852BTE as modules (Closes: #1108965)
Adds support for instance for the Realtek 8851BE WiFi chip.
As full freeze is approaching I will defintively wait a bit on this
upload before hearing back.
Regards,
Salvatore
