So this one comes way faster than planned... There is however a bugfix for filesystem corruption if one use swapfiles on certain filesystems (instead of the default usage of swap partitions) Then some security fixes, follow-up fixes for "tty: convert to read_iter" and other upstream fixes...

Advisory, added to svn: type: security subject: Updated kernel packages fix security issues and possible filesystem corruption CVE: - CVE-2021-28038 - CVE-2021-28039 src: 8: core: - kernel-5.10.20-2.mga8 - kmod-virtualbox-6.1.18-18.mga8 - kmod-xtables-addons-3.13-34.mga8 7: core: - kernel-5.10.20-2.mga7 - kmod-virtualbox-6.1.18-8.mga7 - kmod-xtables-addons-3.13-14.mga7 description: | This kernel update is based on upstream 5.10.20 and fixes atleast the following security issues: An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel through 5.11.3, as used with Xen PV. A certain part of the netback driver lacks necessary treatment of errors such as failed memory allocations (as a result of changes to the handling of grant mapping errors). A host OS denial of service may occur during misbehavior of a networking frontend driver. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2021-26931. (CVE-2021-28038 / XSA-367) An issue was discovered in the Linux kernel 5.9.x through 5.11.3, as used with Xen. In some less-common configurations, an x86 PV guest OS user can crash a Dom0 or driver domain via a large amount of I/O activity. The issue relates to misuse of guest physical addresses when a configuration has CONFIG_XEN_UNPOPULATED_ALLOC but not CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG. (CVE-2021-28039 / XSA-369) It also adds a critical fix for filesystem level corruption: - on setups with swapfiles on filesystems sitting on top of brd, zram, btt or pmem, then when the system starts to swap out pages, at which point it corrupts filesystem blocks that don't belong to the swapfile. It also adds the following fixes: - Input: elan_i2c - add new trackpoint report type 0x5F - Input: elantech - fix protocol errors for some trackpoints - net: usb: qmi_wwan: support ZTE P685M modem - tty: fix up iterate_tty_read() EOVERFLOW handling - tty: fix up hung_up_tty_read() conversion - tty: clean up legacy leftovers from n_tty line discipline - tty: teach n_tty line discipline about the new "cookie continuations" - tty: teach the n_tty ICANON case about the new "cookie continuations" too - x86_64-server config: * enable NUMA balancing * make CONNECTOR builtin to enable PROC_EVENTS (mga#28312) * support 512 cores/threads For other upstream fixes, see the referenced changelogs. references: - https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28541 - https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28312 - https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/ChangeLog-5.10.20 - https://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-367.html - https://xenbits.xen.org/xsa/advisory-369.html

Will test the 32-bit desktop kernels (not desktop586) with Foolishness, but it may take some time as both installs need many updates first.

No regressions noted here. Three real hardware systems, two running m7 x86_64 and one m8 x86_64 and one m8 x86_64 system. All running the desktop kernel. On one m7 host, 4 vb guests. x86 and i586 installs for both m7 and m8. All running desktop kernel except m8 i586 install which I chose the desktop586 kernel. Sound and networking tested on all except the one m7 host which has no speakers connected. That's the one I use just for konversation.
CC: (none) => davidwhodgins
Oh, and the m8 real hardware install has an m7 x86_64 guest where networking and sound also work after updating the kernel on both.
For those who are scratching their heads over Comment 8, Foolishness is my aged Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop. Rescued from a church sale, it has a 32-bit P4 processor, Radeon Mobility 7500 (RV200) graphics, all of 2GB of RAM, and an old Atheros-based wifi card. I have spent far more on it than it's worth to bring it back into service, hence the name. I have two 32-bit installs on this machine, one MGA8 and the other MGA7. Both are Xfce systems, running the desktop kernel. Both systems updated the kernel packages cleanly. While the ancient Radeon graphics have given us trouble with modern kernels in the past, there are no issues to report with either system this time. Both systems rebooted cleanly, with good video and sound. I visited various sites with Firefox, including playing a video on Youtube, and both worked well within the limitations imposed by the slow hardware. If anything, Mageia 8 played videos better than Mageia 7 on this hardware. Looks OK here.

As I misunderstand it, that parameter is supposed to reduce the load on the cpu. But I don't think the bottleneck on this particular hardware is the P4, but more likely the old-style I/O interfaces. The graphics card uses an AGP interface for one thing, but even more likely is the hard drive, which uses PATA. I did notice a very significant boost in performance when I replaced the old rust drive with a PATA-to-MSATA adapter with an SSD, but still, that is a PATA interface and therefore limited.

But I don't think the bottleneck > on this particular hardware is the P4, but more likely the old-style I/O > interfaces. I highly recommend trying it and comparing "journalctl -b|grep \(userspace" with and without the divider=10 kernel option. On the system I had when I opened bug 44 the difference was that without the option, mkinitrd failed due to a hard coded 10 minute timeout and with the option it was under the 10 minute mark.

Wifi perfectly OK with kernel 5.10.19 (typing from it).
MGA8-64 MATE on Peaq C1011 No installation issues. Rebooting, this new version is nowhere to see in grub menu, so booted again in 5.10.19. Will try to reconfig the boot system in MCC.
Kernel: 5.10.19-desktop-1.mga8 x86_64 Mobo: ASUSTeK model: TUF X299 MARK 2 10-Core Intel Core i9-7900X [MT MCP] GeForce GTX 1080 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 460.56 Updated to latest desktop kernel and ran # drakboot --boot No problems at reboot. Desktop appeared, running with nvidia graphics driver. $ uname -r 5.10.20-desktop-2.mga8 $ stress -c 7 -t 30 stress: info: [3705] dispatching hogs: 7 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0 hdd stress: info: [3705] successful run completed in 30s Ran other stress tests. Installed glmark2. $ glmark2 -b refract Perfect. NFS shares mounted. LO writer, stellarium, thunderbird work fine. Everything looks good so far.
In MCC choose explicitely kernel5.10.20 as boot default, let it write the boot system. Reboot: as usual on this system after reconfiguring boot system from M8, there is no grub menu shown and the system boots directly into the M7. Run MCC in M7 to reconfigure the bootsystem and in choosing the default, I noticed that the 5.10.20 was listed twice, once without indication of the disk partition, one with the partition. Made sure to select the correct one, and rebooted. Now the system boots directly into the M8 5.10.20 kernel and wifi can be configured OK.

I do think there is an error as Mageia 7 AND Mageia 8 identify themselves as "Mageia" to the EFI firmware. Scripts in one version wants to take the lead on the boot process.

@ Aurelien Comment 27 rEFInd does not work on this machine since it has a 32-bit UEFI bios, but the installation is x86-64. i586 does not work on it because of graphics issues.
