III. Community SIGs

3.1 deepin-kernel SIG

  • Updated minor versions 6.6.120 and 6.6.121 with a total of 828 patches, optimizing idle scheduler behavior and fixing known upstream issues.

  • Integrated Loongson patches into the 6.6 kernel branch, adding KVM user service monitor call support via the new KVM feature flag KVM_FEATURE_USER_HCALL, and introducing KVM exit paths and completion functions for user monitor calls, enabling user-space VMMs to handle and return results to support booting Windows VMs via LATS under the system.

  • Integrated support for UltraRISC RISCV DP1000 core PVT hwmon into the 6.6 kernel branch, enhanced LED triggers and Realtek PHY LED integration, and updated device tree bindings for IRQ, PCIe, and DP1000/Titan on the UltraRISC platform.

  • Integrated THISUNIC patches into the 6.6 kernel branch, fixing build and standby/wake-up issues on the THISUNIC platform.

  • Integrated upstream patches into the 6.6 kernel to enable hotspot support for the rtw88 SDIO interface.

  • Integrated patches into the 6.6 kernel to export the walk_page_range symbol, supporting etmem_scan for identifying hot/cold pages based on memory access patterns and the need to actively write memory to swap partitions for memory vertical scaling.

  • Integrated cpufreq governor patches into the 6.6 kernel, fixing some errors and introducing the SEEP cpufreq governor—a new CPUFreq governor designed for platforms utilizing hardware-managed P-states via CPPC (Collaborative Processor Performance Control). This governor enables hardware autonomous frequency selection, allowing processors to manage their own frequency based on workload characteristics (currently not enabled).

  • Integrated HiSilicon hibmcdrm support patches into the 6.6 kernel to support graphics cards on HiSilicon server platforms.

  • Integrated Wangxun NIC patches into the 6.6 kernel to fix compilation errors in certain scenarios.

  • Integrated new build checks into the 6.6 kernel to enable immediate boot testing using qemu and qemu-kvm after commits with build artifacts compiled under X86_64 using GCC and Clang, adding additional minimal compilation build checks for multiple platforms by default.

  • Reintegrated AMD graphics patches into the 6.6 kernel, fixing an abnormal kernel log error.

  • Re-enabled FB_EFI on the ARM64 platform for both the 6.6 and 6.12 kernel branches to fix display issues when using EFIFB in the absence of display drivers, and enabled multi-threaded decompression for squashfs on this platform to improve installation performance.

  • Fixed an issue in both the 6.6 and 6.12 kernels where the Archlinux subsystem's pacman became unusable due to the LANDLOCK configuration not being enabled.

  • Reverted an upstream patch in both the 6.6 and 6.12 branches to fix hibernation/wake failures and kexec failures on ARM64 platforms.

  • Updated minor versions 6.12.64, 6.12.65, 6.12.66, and 6.12.67 with a total of 845 patches, optimizing idle scheduler behavior and fixing known upstream issues.

  • Backported mt76 wireless driver patches from kernel 6.14 into the 6.12 kernel, fixing an issue preventing standby on systems with mt7925 wireless cards.

  • Backported mt76 wireless driver patches from kernel 6.14.11 into the 6.12 kernel, fixing poor performance issues with mt7925 wireless cards.

  • Reverted previously backported mt76 patches in the 6.12 kernel that had introduced a dependency on mac80211 wireless subsystem API changes from the mt7996 multi-monitor interface patch, resolving compilation issues for the out-of-tree aic8800 driver.

  • Integrated Loongson i2c and gpio patches and enabled configurations in the 6.12 kernel branch, fixing touchpad issues on Loongson laptops with the 6.12 kernel.

  • Integrated the upstream pipe communication optimization patch (previously added to 6.6) into the 6.12 kernel. Testing shows it improves UnixBench pipe throughput performance by approximately 10%.

  • Updated minor versions 6.18.4, 6.18.5, and 6.18.6 with a total of 501 patches, and integrated a total of 628 patches from the 6.6 and 6.12 branches in preparation for the 6.18 release.
