Linus Torvalds has announced the release of the sixth release candidate for Linux Kernel 6.14, which includes a series of minor fixes throughout the system. The primary update addresses the AMD microcode signing issue; however, the release schedule remains on track with no notable alterations. The kernel incorporates multiple enhancements, such as the initialization of SCTLR_EL1 in __kvm_hyp_init_cpu(), the validation of CPUID leaf 0x2 EDX output, and the accurate parsing of CPUID leaf 0x2 TLB descriptor 0x63. Additional modifications encompass rectifying two prefix inaccuracies in idmappings.rst, adjusting timestamps in firmware traces, and incorporating support for Panther Lake-H and Panther Lake-P/U.
The kernel incorporates fixes for the duplicate Ally X configuration, audio issues related to the Asus Z13 2025, and adjustments to ownership in __udp_gso_segment. Additional modifications encompass the sanitization of boot parameters prior to command line parsing, the inclusion of the HAS_IOPORT dependency, and the resolution of GPA size concerns related to virtual machines.

Linus Torvalds has announced the fifth release candidate for Linux kernel 6.14-rc5 with the majority of the fix addressing drivers, architecture, filesystem, core networking, and self-testing. Memory leaks, microphone regression, and other issues are addressed in the updates.
The update also addresses issues with cross-referencing in documentation, riscv, KVM, and SBI IPI error generation. It also fixes difficulties with the syscon helper, cxl, and riscv. The improvements also fix issues with the syscon helper, cxl, and riscv.

Linus Torvalds has announced the release of Linux kernel 6.14-rc4. The release includes driver fixes, filesystem fixes, core kernel, and networking improvements. The biggest single patch is a new self-test. The changes include fixing gp10b firmware guard, deadlock when freeing cgroup storage, accounting for widebus and YUV420 during mode validation, tracing, softlockup in arena_map_free on a 64k page kernel, broken TSADC pinctrl names for RK3588, and MTD: SPI-NOR: SST.
The changes also address potential overflow, unify VM_WRITE vs VM_MAYWRITE use in BPF map mmaping logic, avoid holding freeze_mutex during mmap operation, and fix lcdpwr_en pin for Cool Pi GenBook. Other improvements include removing unnecessary min() with UINT_MAX, removing unused constants, and fixing fault handling for AXP717. The release additionally addresses the KASAN report during patching through temporary memory management, rewrites __real_pte() and __rpte_to_hidx() as static inline functions, and manages IPC replies prior to FW_BOOT_COMPLETE. Other improvements include handling mixed port and port-range keys, renaming xfs_iomap_swapfile_activate to xfs_vm_swap_activate, and adding a specific dst port matching. The release is expected to be on track with everything looking good.
