Linux 6.12-rc4 Released With MSI Claw A1M Controller Support, Intel & AMD Fixes
Linux 6.12-rc4 is out today as the half-way point to releasing the Linux 6.12 stable kernel around this time of the month in November.
Among the changes to find in this week's Linux 6.12-rc4 release candidate is MSI Claw A1M controller support for that Intel Meteor Lake powered handheld gaming console, 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller support, a fix for the Zenbleed mitigation handling so it's properly applied just for Zen 2 processors, clearing the CPU buffers later in the NMI exit path for better handling the Intel RDFS mitigation, and various other fixes. There is also a fix for Indirect Branch Predictor Barrier handling on older AMD CPUs. See the Linux 6.12 feature overview for a look at all the major changes coming in this kernel version for what is most likely to be this year's Long Term Support (LTS) kernel version.
