Hi, For Qemu this needs a a feature freeze exception for the qemu change was identified after 1st of March. Sorry, I missed the update with the upstream sha for a bit, otherwise I'd have marked it as FFE earlier, but IMHO it is no problem. The patch is rather small and does not imply extra danger IMHO.
So getting a Feature Freeze ack by the release team is very likely. But lets stay formal and do that. Afterwards I can upload the package with the qemu fix applied. ** Summary changed: - [Feature] KVM CLX avx512_vnni + [FFE][Feature] KVM CLX avx512_vnni -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1739665 Title: [FFE][Feature] KVM CLX avx512_vnni Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in qemu package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in xen package in Ubuntu: New Status in linux source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in qemu source package in Bionic: Triaged Status in xen source package in Bionic: New Bug description: This feature has been released in ICX platform and the definition of AVX512_VNNI as below AVX512_VNNI Vector Nerual Network Instructions, an addition to AVX512. cpuid.(7,0).
