Mageia 4 64bits non-efi laptop with intel video card, updated to:

kernel-desktop-latest-3.12.25-2.mga4
kernel-userspace-headers-3.12.25-2.mga4
kernel-desktop-3.12.25-2.mga4-1-1.mga4
cpupower-3.12.25-2.mga4

Everything works fine, the only thing that struck me as odd is that no new GRUB2 bootloader was automatically written to the MBR, but that is maybe deliberate now when the last bootloader there comes from an install on another partition? (in my case: Cauldron) 
The new kernel was correctly added to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

That seems to be the reason, I had the same yesterday when updating a 32bits laptop to 3.12.25-1. I manually generated the bootloader from within the Mga4 partition afterwards and now the bootloader there gets auto-updated after updating the kernel to 3.12.25-2

using kernel: 3.12.25-desktop586-2.mga4 after updating to:

kernel-desktop-3.12.25-2.mga4-1-1.mga4
kernel-desktop586-3.12.25-2.mga4-1-1.mga4
kernel-desktop-latest-3.12.25-2.mga4
kernel-desktop586-latest-3.12.25-2.mga4
cpupower-3.12.25-2.mga4

Everything works as expected. I'll reboot and try
kernel-desktop-3.12.25-2.mga4-1-1.mga4

OOPS

forgot to mention that the above is on a 32bits laptop with intel video

Works as expected, too

Everything works fine while using nouveau (which was also used before the update)

I'll try with NVidia, too

Doesn't work (at least not out-of-the-box) with NVidia driver, I don't remember whether it worked before in Mageia 4, though.

the kernel packages will be rebuilt with a fixed gcc (there is a gcc bug just found and fixed where sched2 miscompiles syscall sequence so it can cause crashes)

Assigning back to QA.
It's now built with the fixed gcc, and fixes a couple more bugs and CVEs.


Updated Advisory:
updated kernel fixes security issues

This kernel update provides the upstream 3.12.25 longterm kernel and
fixes the following security issues:

Array index error in the aio_read_events_ring function in fs/aio.c in
the Linux kernel through 3.15.1 allows local users to obtain sensitive
information from kernel memory via a large head value (CVE-2014-0206).

The capabilities implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.14.8 does
not properly consider that namespaces are inapplicable to inodes, which
allows local users to bypass intended chmod restrictions by first creating
a user namespace, as demonstrated by setting the setgid bit on a file with
group ownership of root (CVE-2014-4014)

mm/shmem.c in the Linux kernel through 3.15.1 does not properly implement
the interaction between range notification and hole punching, which allows
local users to cause a denial of service (i_mutex hold) by using the mmap
system call to access a hole, as demonstrated by interfering with intended
shmem activity by blocking completion of (1) an MADV_REMOVE madvise call
or (2) an FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE fallocate call (CVE-2014-4171).

arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S in the Linux kernel through 3.15.1 on 32-bit
x86 platforms, when syscall auditing is enabled and the sep CPU feature
flag is set, allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS and
system crash) via an invalid syscall number, as demonstrated by number
1000 (CVE-2014-4508). 

A flaw was found in the way reference counting was handled in the Linux
kernels VFS subsystem when unmount on symlink was performed. An unprivileged
local user could use this flaw to cause OOM conditions leading to denial
of service or, potentially, trigger use-after-free error (CVE-2014-5045).

Linux kernel built with the support for Stream Control Transmission Protocol
(CONFIG_IP_SCTP) is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference flaw. It could
occur when simultaneous new connections are initiated between the same pair
of hosts. A remote user/program could use this flaw to crash the system
kernel resulting in DoS (CVE.2014-5077).

For other fixes, see the referenced changelogs and the kernel changelog.

On the following 32bits system

used kernel-desktop586-3.12.25-1.mga4-1-1.mga4 with different applications after updating to

kernel-desktop-3.12.25-3.mga4-1-1.mga4.i586.rpm 
cpupower-3.12.25-3.mga4.i586.rpm

Everything works fine, except some issues that are *most*probably* unrelated:
1. one time sound was lost on a m3u video stream from my DVB-S2 tuner
  (However, it is a day full of showers and thunderstorms, and there are also
   thunderstorms between here and the 5°West satellite the stream came from)
2. KSnapshot made an empty blue screenshot of a "moving" VLC screen. That is
   something I never tried  before. Screenshotting a static screen still works
   fine

I'll reboot and test kernel-desktop-3.12.25-3.mga4-1-1.mga4.i586.rpm

Everything I tried worked fine, there were no sound disruptions this time. The (most probably) unrelated problem with screenshotting a moving VLC screen still exists, static screenshotting works normally.

Using the nouveau driver, the updates were tested in KDE for a while with several applications. Everything that was tested worked fine.

Now rebooting to see whether everything works with NVIDIA GeForce 8100 instead of nouveau. If it doesn't, I won't spend time on trying to figure out why not, because nouveau works great. If it does, I'll report back.

It does, according to journalctl -b it is loaded and according to Xorg.0.log is it used. So no more black screen when trying to boot using NVIDIA :-)

At first sight, shortly trying several applications including watching a video stream, it seems to work fine, even if I think (but I'm biased, preferring free software over non-free) that nouveau performs better.

Tested mga4_64,

Testing complete for the new kernel-desktop-3.12.25-3.mga4, Ok for me nothing to report and seems to work properly.

Tested mga4 64 with server and desktop kernels. No hardware issues, general use OK.

CC: (none) => wrw105

tested mga4 32 with server and desktop kernels. No hardware issues, general use OK. No regressions noted.

No issues whatsoever on my Dell Inspiron 600m laptop, in a Virtualbox VM, or on my PogoLinux workstation from 2009 (all Mageia 4 i586).

Testing on my brand new PogoLinux workstation, I do see a minor regression with this kernel.  The logs show the oom killer activating for no reason and killing preload and systemd-readahead(something, name gets cut off in the logs), reproducibly, late in the boot process.  However, those services appear fine in systemctl, so unless you went looking for it, you wouldn't notice this problem.  Also it's not the level of issue that I saw with 3.14.12 where the OOM killer killed a lot more things, making services fail and causing other noticeable issues.

I don't have any issues with 3.12.21 or 3.14.15 on this machine.

I'm OK with validating this Thomas, if you want to go ahead with it.  If you do, let's go ahead with the Mageia 3 kernel update (Bug 13802) as well.

The newer PogoLinux machine is using the server kernel, the others I tested on use the desktop kernel.

Some info on the newest PogoLinux machine:

Intel i7-4770K 3.4GHz (3.9 GHz Turbo) LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core
Intel Z87 Chipset (lspcidrake also mentions 8 Series/220 Series Chipset Family)
8GB DDR3 1333MHz Non-ECC Unbuffered RAM (2 4GB sticks)
665W PSU
Radeon R9 270X 2GB PCI-E (Southern Islands)

Can you attach dmesg from working 3.14.10 and 3.14.15 and the nonworking 3.14.12 so I can see if the kernel has detected / configured anything differently

I'll have to rebuild the 3.14.12 since I deleted that build, but I still have the other two.  Hopefully I'll remember to do that on Saturday.

Validating (tmb ACK'd it on the qa-discuss list).

Please push this to core/updates for Mageia 4.
