📰 The New Linux Kernel AI Bot Uncovering Bugs Is A Local LLM On Framework Desktop + AMD Ryzen AI Max Earlier this month on Phoronix we were the first to draw attention to a new fuzzing tool / AI bot uncovering kernel bugs by Greg Kroah-Hartman, the "second in command" for Linux kernel development and stable maintainer. Greg has now shared more light on the "gregkh_clanker_t1000" for this tool that has been uncovering more Linux kernel bugs the past few weeks... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Clanker-T1000-AMD-Ryzen-AI-Max #amd#kernel#linux

📰 Linux May Drop Legacy 3Com, AMD, and Xircom Ethernet Drivers The Linux kernel may drop 18 old Ethernet drivers for ISA- and PCMCIA-era hardware as maintainers question whether the aging code still has active users. 🔗 Source: https://linuxiac.com/linux-may-drop-legacy-3com-amd-and-xircom-ethernet-drivers/ #amd#kernel#linux

📰 Valve Developer Further Improves Old AMD GPUs: HD 7870 XT Finally Working On Linux Timur Kristóf of Valve's Linux graphics driver team is the one that worked on improving the old AMD Radeon GCN 1.0/1.1 graphics card support by making AMDGPU driver improvements so it could become the default for these Southern Islands and Sea Islands GPUs rather than the legacy Radeon kernel driver. That meant better performance, RADV Vulkan support out-of-the-box, and other benefits. 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-Harvested-GPUs-Linux #amd#kernel#linux

📰 AMD Linux Graphics Driver Introducing "Power Module" To Better Match Windows Behavior With the set of today's AMDGPU kernel graphics driver Display Core (DC) patches is a rather curious addition with wiring up the Linux code to a "power module" that looks like it will better match Microsoft Windows behavior with the AMD Radeon driver around display-related power savings features... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMDGPU-DC-Power-Module #amd#kernel#linux

📰 Linux Kernel 7.1 Drops 486 and AMD Elan CPU Support Linux kernel 7.1 development begins with x86 changes removing 486, 486SX, and AMD Elan CPU support. 🔗 Source: https://linuxiac.com/linux-kernel-7-1-drops-486-and-amd-elan-cpu-support/ #amd#kernel#linux

📰 AMD ISP4 Driver On Track To Be Merged For Linux 7.2 It looks like with the Linux 7.2 kernel later in the year the AMD ISP4 driver will finally be merged to mainline. This driver is needed for the web camera on the HP ZBook Ultra G1a Strix Halo laptop and other future AMD Ryzen laptops... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-ISP4-For-Linux-7.2 #linux#amd#kernel

📰 Linux 7.1 To Expose AMD Zen 6's AVX-512 BMM For Guest VMs A small but important patch that looks like it will be merged for the upcoming Linux 7.1 kernel is for enumerating AVX-512 BMM support for KVM virtualized guests. AVX-512 BMM is one of the exciting ISA additions with next-gen AMD Zen 6 processors... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-7.1-KVM-AVX-512-BMM #linux#amd#kernel

📰 AMD P-State Driver Introducing New Features With Linux 7.1 A few Linux kernel releases have passed since there have been any new features to talk about for the AMD P-State driver for CPU frequency scaling / power management with modern AMD Ryzen and EPYC processors. But for the upcoming Linux 7.1 kernel there are some new features now ready for mainline... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-P-State-Linux-7.1 #linux#amd#kernel

📰 AMD Revives Linux Kernel Patches For Hardware-Accelerated vIOMMU Back in 2023 AMD posted hardware-accelerated virtualized IOMMU patches for the Linux kernel as a request for comments (RFC). In 2024 they then posted a second iteration of the AMD vIOMMU patches but then seemingly fell off the radar. This morning is now the first set of updated AMD vIOMMU patches sent out on the Linux kernel mailing list with the RFC tag now removed... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-vIOMMU-2026-Linux #linux#amd#kernel

📰 AMD Posts Latest "pghot" Code For Overhauling Linux Hot Page Tracking & Promotion One of the core Linux infrastructure improvements that AMD engineers have been working on recently is pghot as a hot-page tracking and promotion subsystem. This proposed addition to the Linux kernel could be quite beneficial especially for those using modern AMD EPYC servers with CXL and multiple memory tiers... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-pghot-RFC-Latest-Linux #kernel#linux#amd

📰 Linux 7.0 Lands Fix For Years Old Bug Affecting AMD Hainan GPUs Merged overnight for Linux 7.0 and set to be back-ported to existing Linux stable kernel versions is a fix for aging AMD GCN 1.0 "Hainan" GPU models. This closes a 2021 bug report that was long neglected and ended up being just a small tweak to fix the issue reported of GPU hangs... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-Hainan-Fix-Linux-7.0 #kernel#amd#linux
