In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ath11k: Fix frames flush failure caused by deadlock
We are seeing below warnings:
kernel: [25393.301506] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to flush mgmt transmit queue 0
kernel: [25398.421509] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to flush mgmt transmit queue 0
kernel: [25398.421831] ath11k_pci 0000:01:00.0: dropping mgmt frame for vdev 0, is_started 0
this means ath11k fails to flush mgmt. frames because wmi_mgmt_tx_work
has no chance to run in 5 seconds.
By setting /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs to 20 and increasing
ATH11K_FLUSH_TIMEOUT to 50 we get below warnings:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mce: Work around an erratum on fast string copy instructions
A rare kernel panic scenario can happen when the following conditions
are met due to an erratum on fast string copy instructions:
1) An uncorrected error.
2) That error must be in first cache line of a page.
3) Kernel must execute page_copy from the page immediately before that
page.
The fast string copy instructions ("REP; MOVS*") could consume an
uncorrectable memory error in the cache line _right after_ the desired
region to copy and raise an MCE.
Bit 0 of MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE can be cleared to disable fast string
copy and will avoid such spurious machine checks. However, that is less
preferable due to the permanent performance impact. Considering memory
poison is rare, it's desirable to keep fast string copy enabled until an
MCE is seen.
Intel has confirmed the following:
1. The CPU erratum of fast string copy only applies to Skylake,
Cascade Lake and Cooper Lake generations.
Directly return from the MCE handler:
2. Will result in complete execution of the "REP; MOVS*" with no data
loss or corruption.
3. Will not result in another MCE firing on the next poisoned cache line
due to "REP; MOVS*".
4. Will resume execution from a correct point in code.
5. Will result in the same instruction that triggered the MCE firing a
second MCE immediately for any other software recoverable data fetch
errors.
6. Is not safe without disabling the fast string copy, as the next fast
string copy of the same buffer on the same CPU would result in a PANIC
MCE.
This should mitigate the erratum completely with the only caveat that
the fast string copy is disabled on the affected hyper thread thus
performance degradation.
This is still better than the OS crashing on MCEs raised on an
irrelevant process due to "REP; MOVS*' accesses in a kernel context,
e.g., copy_page.
Injected errors on 1st cache line of 8 anonymous pages of process
'proc1' and observed MCE consumption from 'proc2' with no panic
(directly returned).
Without the fix, the host panicked within a few minutes on a
random 'proc2' process due to kernel access from copy_page.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/sprd: fix potential NULL dereference
'drm' could be null in sprd_drm_shutdown, and drm_warn maybe dereference
it, remove this warning log.
v1 -> v2:
- Split checking platform_get_resource() return value to a separate patch
- Use dev_warn() instead of removing the warning log

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: conntrack: revisit gc autotuning
as of commit 4608fdfc07e1
("netfilter: conntrack: collect all entries in one cycle")
conntrack gc was changed to run every 2 minutes.
On systems where conntrack hash table is set to large value, most evictions
happen from gc worker rather than the packet path due to hash table
distribution.
This causes netlink event overflows when events are collected.
This change collects average expiry of scanned entries and
reschedules to the average remaining value, within 1 to 60 second interval.
To avoid event overflows, reschedule after each bucket and add a
limit for both run time and number of evictions per run.
If more entries have to be evicted, reschedule and restart 1 jiffy
into the future.

HCI_EV_DISCONN_PHY_LINK_COMPLETE which does call hci_conn_del without
first checking if conn->type is in fact AMP_LINK and in case it is
do properly cleanup upper layers with hci_disconn_cfm:
