Subject: [GIT PULL] arm64 fixes for 6.16
Date: Thu, 24 Jul 2025 10:44:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aIIAZiQ6ca3DFHpE@willie-the-truck> (raw)
Hi Linus,
Please pull these two important arm64 fixes ahead of the 6.16 release.
The first fixes a regression introduced during the merge window where
the KVM UUID (which is used to advertise KVM-specific hypercalls for
things like time synchronisation in the guest) was corrupted thanks to
an endianness bug introduced when converting the code to use the
UUID_INIT() helper.
The second fixes a stack-pointer corruption issue during context-switch
which has been observed in the wild when taking a pseudo-NMI with
shadow call stack enabled.
Please pull.
Cheers,
Will
