Hi I would like to upload linux version 6.4.4-1 later the upcoming days to unstable. This is quite unfortunate as i wanted to have the security fixes from 6.3.11-1 for a while now in unstable, but transition is blocked due #1040178.
The new upload would consist of a new upstream version switching to
the 6.4.y series in unstable. An ABi bump is included.
Prominently the new version will finally fix CVE-2023-3269 (StackRot,
cf. DSA-5448-1), and as well CVE-2023-31248 and CVE-2023-35001 in
nf_tables.
Apart from switching from 6.3.y to 6.4.y series there are additional
changes covering:
* [riscv64] enable CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL as module
* Compile with gcc-13 on all architectures
* [rt] Refresh "serial: 8250: implement non-BKL console"
* kernel/trace: Enable FPROBE
* d/rules.real: Fix CROSS_COMPILE definition for hppa native build
(regression in 6.4~rc7-1~exp1)
* Include kbuild package into ABI. (closes: #1040178)
* [powerpc,riscv64,s390x] Enable DEBUG_INFO_BTF.
* [riscv64] Enable devices added in 6.4 for StarFive JH7110 RISC-V SoC:
SENSORS_SFCTEMP, MMC_DW, MMC_DW_STARFIVE and STARFIVE_WATCHDOG.
* [hppa] Allow up to 16 CPUs with 32-bit kernel
* [hppa] Build some more fbdev graphic card drivers as modules
* Enable all RTW88 variants (USB + SDIO). (Closes: #1038409)
* [rt] Update to 6.4-rt6
* [x86] drivers/platform/x86/hp: Enable X86_PLATFORM_DRIVERS_HP
(Closes: #1038799)
* mm: Enable Multi-Gen LRU implementation (by default) (Closes: #1030617)
* linux-perf: Add libtraceevent-dev to Build-Depends (fixes FTBFS on several
architectures)
* linux-image: Define CROSS_COMPILE and CROSS_COMPILE_COMPAT more consistently
* [hppa] linux-headers: Fix toolchain dependencies
* [hppa] Make cross-builds work
* [m68k] Fix invalid .section syntax (fixes FTBFS)
* d/rules.real: Also remove executable bit from dtbo files
* [mips*]: Enable more drivers for boston
* [mips*]: Install dtbs for mipsel and mips64el
* linux-perf: Update build rules and dependencies for change to
demangling
* linux-perf: Build C++ code with Debian standard compiler flags
Having 6.3.11-1 into testing would really have been preferred but I understand
people do not want to have #1040178 exposed, so let's try to move ahead with
the 6.4.y series.
Ben and Bastian, let me know loudly if you disagree on the plan to upload
6.4.4-1 for unstable.
Regards,
Salvatore
