This is a dependent commit for the series of patches to add the AMD SEV-SNP SVSM vTPM device driver. Kernel 6.11 added SVSM support, but not support for the critical component for boot integrity that follows the SEV-SNP threat model. That series https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250410135118.133240-1-sgarzare@redhat.com/ is applied at tip but is not yet in the mainline.
How does this fix a bug in these stable branches now?
I have confirmed that this patch applies cleanly. Stefano's patch series needs a minor tweak to the first patch due to the changed surrounding function declarations in arch/x86/include/asm/sev.h https://github.com/deeglaze/amdese-linux/commits/vtpm612/ I've independently tested the patches.
Have you read the stable kernel rules text?
totally confused,
