description: |
  This update is based on upstream 5.4.5 and fixes various potential
  security issues related to buffer overflows, double frees, NUll  pointer
  dereferences, improper / missing input validations and so on. It also
  adds other bugfixes all over the kernel.

  Other fixes added in this update:
  - x86/MCE/AMD: Do not use rdmsr_safe_on_cpu() in smca_configure(),
    fixing in deadlock issue.
  - x86/mm: Split vmalloc_sync_all(), fixing up big performance
    regressions in some x86_64 worklolads 
    (example: reaim.jobs_per_min -79.7% regression) 
  - The Intel cpu/gpu specific security fixes in upstream 5.3.11 broke
    RC6 and that prevents CPUs from entering C-states, causing higher
    power consumption. This update adds upstream fixes to restore
    RC6 to a working state (fdo#112315)

  WireGuard has been updated to 0.0.20191212.

  For other fixes in this update, see the referenced changelogs.

I've installed it in Mageia 7 VirtualBox Plasma x64, no issues, work ok.

Greetings!!

CC: (none) => joselp

Dell Inspiron 5100, 32-bit P4, 2GB RAM, Radeon 7500 (RV200) graphics, old Atheros wifi, 32-bit Xfce system, using the desktop kernel.

This hardware works OK with the 5.3 series kernel, but has serious video glitches with kernel 5.4.2. Wasn't expecting much, but tried updating to this kernel anyway.

No difference. The video glitches are still there, and it still works OK if I boot into the 5.3.13 kernel.

Ouch. i had hoped your system was affected by the fixes I added to mesa 19.3.1 :/

What is the output of:

lspcidrake -v |grep Card

lspcidrake -v |grep Card
Card:ATI Radeon HD 4870 and earlier: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI]|RV200/M7 [Mobility Radeon 7500] [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:1002 device:4c57 subv:1028 subd:0149)

Does kernel-desktop-5.4.5-1.1.mga7 from 

http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/mageia.org/people/tmb/mga7/kernel/x86_64/

work any better?

Of course that would be 

http://ftp.free.fr/mirrors/mageia.org/people/tmb/mga7/kernel/i586/

for 32bit kernels

That eliminates the problem on my machine. Good job!

I don't know if it will help others that have expressed problems with AMD GPUs and kernel 5.4.2. Jose' Jorge reported similar problems with his older hardware, and there is Bug 25882 reporting a problem with the 64-bit kernel and an AMD GPU. I don't have that hardware, so can't test.

Note that my machine also has the mesa 19.3.1 update installed. While it didn't seem to make a difference in my case at first, I suppose it may with others.

Great,

The old Inspiron is OK with this one, too. 

Everything seems to work, though it all seems very slow compared to my more modern equipment.

As with all the latest kernels on this hardware, a cold reboot was required.
Time to open a bug on this but the only information that is available is the journal and dmesg files after the cold reboot.  Warm reboots hang right at the beginning when no diagnostic tools are accessible.  If it has something to do with BIOS settings I would need some guidance.  The BIOS interface is difficult to navigate on this machine.

Apart from that problem everything else is running smoothly.  Leaving it to run, and avoiding reboots.

Sorry to do this, but I had to add another fix to get iwlwifi working for some users, so a 5.4.6-2 is now building

Keywords: (none) => feedback

Ok, so compared to 5.4.6-1 there is only one patch added to fix iwlwifi firmware crash (Confirmed valid fix by Intel guys)

Thomas, since you say the last round of changes only affected iwlwifi, will I need to test the Inspiron for this one?

Nope, I consider all 5.4.6-1 tests valid too, and I already have confirmation from Intel and the user of an affected iwlwifi user that the fix added in -2.mga7 works... (And I have to iwlwifi systems here, that still runs nicely)

Intel i5 2500, 16GB RAM, integrated Intel graphics, wired Internet, 64-bit Plasma system.

Updated microcode, firmware, and kernel in one swoop:

The following 12 packages are going to be installed:

- cpupower-5.4.6-2.mga7.x86_64
- iwlwifi-firmware-20191220-1.mga7.nonfree.noarch
- kernel-desktop-5.4.6-2.mga7-1-1.mga7.x86_64

- virtualbox-kernel-desktop-latest-6.0.14-16.mga7.x86_64

Rebooted to a working desktop. Common apps work, no issues noted.

Looks good on this hardware.
