Linux version 4.19.72 (root@darkstar) (gcc version 5.5.0 (GCC)) #2 SMP Wed Sep 11 08:09:28 CDT 2019
Linux darkstar 4.19.72 #2 SMP Wed Sep 11 08:09:28 CDT 2019 x86_64 AMD A6-6310 APU with AMD Radeon R4 Graphics AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

All is working well. Thanks

I don't know if any of you followed this (I didn't, just read some articles today), there is work in progress to secure the use of Hyper-Threading on CPUs vulnerable to L1TF and MDS.
The kernel discussions around this development:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1...italocean.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/2019091...A1855@sinkpad/
This is the good news, the bad one is that these changes will be implemented only in 5.4. Hopefully they'll also get backported once mature enough.
Presentations related to the subject at the Linux Plumbers Conference 2019:
https://linuxplumbersconf.org/event/...ributions/430/
https://linuxplumbersconf.org/event/...ributions/285/
https://linuxplumbersconf.org/event/...ributions/417/

There are also some ideas floating around about improving the Kernel Address Space Isolation:

Apparently there has been some "build problems" with the above mentioned updates. A second round of release candidates were issued about 6 hours ago, so it could be later today or, perhaps, tomorrow before we see new kernels.

Running kernel 5.3.0 ok, NVidia 430.50 built ok with --dkms.

vhba module wasn't building with the last rc7 but now builds ok.

Virtualbox 6.0.12 didn't build, I had to install 6.1.0 beta1.
This is the .run file from Oracle.
The vms saved at console opened ok, only Debian vm that was saved
inside X session didn't open, I had to boot it again.

cwizardone · 09-17-2019, 04:30 PM

VirtualBox-6.0.12 installs and runs as it should here.
I had forgotten to uninstall it when installing the most recent kernel
and it, as it should, re-built itself for the new kernel upon reboot.
Just for chuckles, a few minutes ago I ran, /opt/VirtualBox/sh uninstall.sh,
waited a few beats and ran, sh ./VirtualBox-6.0.12-133076-Linux_amd64.run
and all is well.

This is my experience as well with the VBox kernel module not building for VBox 6.0.12-133076. Thanks to your tip I have also installed the beta VBox and now all is well. It is puzzling why cwizardone has not seen the same issue?

Code:

andrew@ilium~$ uname -r && vboxmanage --version
5.3.0ads
6.1.0_BETA1r133315
andrew@ilium~$

Happy camper here anyway...

4.19.74 et al. released and building as I type.
