Hi kernel and ftp teams, Salvatore Bonaccorso <carnil@debian.org> (2025-07-10): > 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. That was ACK'd and uploaded, but we're still lacking linux-signed-arm64: it's in NEW, and it'd be great to have it accepted. > The update contains in particular the mitigations for the Transitive > Scheduler Attacks (TSA) (CVE-2024-36350, CVE-2024-36357).

I haven't seen any update on the amd64-microcode side, but I hope it's not going to block src:linux* migration to testing, and to “only” make the kernel-side fixes insufficient on their own? > 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. Given https://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2025/07/msg00500.html I think we might stay with 6.12.37-1 for 13.0, at least in theory? I'm happy to still consider newer linux versions if you decide we need to ship this or that bugfix ASAP, so feel free to sync with me regarding feasibility!
